Alphabetical List of NPCs[ | ]

Follower NPCs[ | ]

Follower NPCs can fight and get resources for you. They have already equipped weapons but you can give them your own, by clicking on their picture in the UI or hitting Alt-F. If they have a ranged weapon you have to supply ammo, otherwise they will not use it. You can also give them healing items in their inventory, after a while they will use it. If a follower NPC dies, you can go to their corpse and give them a revival item. They also get hungry, and it's up to you to supply them with food.

Please note that follower NPCs have their names and appearances randomly generated by the game engine.

Their abilities, equipment, quests and skills are either fixed or selected from a 'short list'. They are identified here by the location where they can be first be found. e.g. Carter Camp Recruitable #1, or just Carter Camp 1. pre-Beta
