Ada Companions

Description

Ada, a modified Assaultron, was originally created by Jackson to accompany his caravan. Their group focused on mechanical repairs and trade, traversing the Commonwealth in search of salvageable parts. However, their expertise attracted the attention of the Mechanist, leading to a series of devastating attacks. During one such assault near Wattz Consumer Electronics, Ada lost her human companions and fellow robots Porter and Hurtz.

Background / History

In the Automatron DLC for Fallout 4, players can recruit Ada, a unique Assaultron, as a companion after completing the quest “Mechanical Menace.” She can be found at Wattz Consumer Electronics to start the quest.

Location

Combat & Utility Summary

Like other Automatron companions, Ada has no Affinity Perk but regularly offers junk items to the player. Additionally, she can be upgraded to specialize in either lockpicking or hacking terminals. Ada is stronger than most human followers and highly customizable on the workbench. Similar to Dogmeat, she does not judge the player’s actions and can even be instructed to steal owned items.
