Companion disappeared

[xenomorf43]

What's to say, i died companion was out of action, got blindsided by 4 heavy bots. Got busy in real world for couple days,came back to game, went to find the companion and it has disappeared. Tried making a new one but that didn't work either. How about some way to find the companion. Since apparently i forgot where we died and can't find it.

As far as I know, the companion is displayed on the map. You can set the map filter so that only the map is displayed without any other symbols. then the companion should be seen more clearly.

and you can't revive/repair it at any pet-station?

(you need repair kits on you)

Even if the companion is zero health, it should appear as an item that can be equipped so you can "deploy" it. I had trouble with a disappeared companion, too, and thought that when the companion is destroyed you might have to go to a companion station and build a new one, but that is not correct - if it is deployed it should show on your map, and if, once deployed, it is "picked up" then it will appear in your inventory under "Equipment."

Because it is considered an equipment item, I found that I had accidentally added it to my storage box, and that's why it was missing for me! If you don't see it marked on that world map, I would check the storage box.

I had this happen to me but I fast traveled and my runner (bucket) didn't follow and was not on the map. First time it happened I just loaded a back up save file that was only a few hours old so no big deal. The 2nd time it happened I looked all over for the runner and was not on the map or in my inventory. My runner was still at 86% health and I always have repair kits on hand.

I was able to go to my runner crafting station and "craft" him again. But I changed things up from what I crafted the first time but was able to get my runner back as a rocket toting scout. Once crafted, was back in my inventory at 86% health again.

Seems that the runner does NOT always make the fast travel jump. I think just like in old Star Trek shows, Scotty can't always get the team back with the transporter.

Thanks for the help. I eventually found it in my storage box. Last item in there, i guess i never scrolled down far enough. Strange that it did disappear though, because the first time i checked the storage box it wasn't there. Did not show up until about the sixth time bur like i said i never checked all the way down in the storage box. Missed it by one. Thanks for the help though. Appreciate it.
