Fallout 76has experienced a boost in popularity after the release of theFalloutTV show. The previously abandoned game has quickly become populated with moreplayers than ever before.As players return to the beloved franchise, they might want to experience the Appalachian wasteland for the first time.
After many updates, various NPCs have been added to the game to bring the wasteland to life. This includes allies that you can hire. These characters are not like companionsin the previous gamesand cannot travel with you on your adventures. They instead will hang around your CAMP and guard it along with useful buffs. The latest America’s Playground update added Brotherhood Initate Del Lawson. Here is how you can hire this new ally for your CAMP.
Purchase Lawson at the Atomic Shop
Unlike the other allies, Lawson is not found through regular gameplay. You need to enter theAtomic Shopto purchase him for free. The shop can be accessed from the main and pause menus during gameplay. Remember that while pausing during the game you may still be attacked by enemies.
Switch to the CAMP page, then cycle to the Allies tab. Click on the Vault Boy style icon of Initiate Lawson to acquire him. Check the Atomic Shopregularly for free items.There will be a large green icon when there are new free items you have not redeemed yet. The shop will cycle through different items every week and with updates. You can also spend Atoms in the shop by acquiring them through in-game challenges or real-life currency.
Recruit Lawson at Camp
Every ally has aCAMP workshop objectthat you must build to recruit them. Lawson’s is a Brotherhood of Steel initiate bag just like the oneMaximus carries in the TV show.Switch to build mode in your CAMP and go to theallies tabto find it. Place the bag wherever you want in your camp and Initiate Lawson will appear. You can only have one ally in your CAMP at a time, so you may have to scrap any other ally workshop objects.
Initiate Lawson will act as a vendor and armed guard for your camp. He will comment on events that take place as you progress through the Brotherhood of Steel storyline. His daily buff is calledTune-Up.For 30 minutes, you’re able to repair armor, power armor, and weapons to 130% condition.
