Fallout 76 Allies

Allies were first introduced in the Wastelanders update, as living people returned to Appalachia.

Overview
Instead of the companion system seen in other Fallout games, as well as the temporary quest companions in Fallout 76, allies act as "roommates" at the player's C.A.M.P. and are tied to unique settlement objects. The player can only have one ally in their C.A.M.P. at a time; this extends to their C.A.M.P. storage as well. However, different C.A.M.P. slots can have different allies.

If one wishes to change their current ally, they must scrap the present settlement object and build a new one for the different ally. Ally settlement objects are located under their own tab in the build menu ("Ally") and cannot be stored.

Two allies, Sofia Daguerre and Beckett, offer unique quest lines and an overarching story, at the end of which they can be romanced if one decides to pursue that option. This provides the player with a temporary XP boost, Lover's Embrace, upon sleeping in a bed with the romanced ally nearby. The other three allies (the raider and two settlers) only offer radiant quests. All others, referred to as lite allies, will not give overarching or daily quests but will instead provide other services. They could be unlocked by progressing through the Scoreboard or purchased as a plan with gold bullion.

Changelog

 * Steel Dawn introduced two new allies, referred to as "lite allies."
 * Following the Fallout Worlds update and The Unstoppables vs The Diabolicals, the sixth season, two new lite allies were added, and like in the third season, were unlocked by progressing through the season.
 * The seventh season, Zorbo's Revenge and the accompanying update with the arrival of the Wise Mothman's cultists and the seasonal event The Mothman Equinox introduced another two lite allies that, like the previous lite allies, can be unlocked via progression in the season's scoreboard. Night of the Moth made all previous lite allies available if the player purchases their plans from Samuel with a Foundation reputation of "ally", meaning their rep with Foundation must be at the maximum, and 4000 gold bullion for each ally.
 * The eighth season, A Better Life Underground introduced another lite ally, Sam Nguyen.

Bugs

 * Allies may sometimes not wear their clothes and appear in their underwear. Logging in and out should solve this issue.
 * The conversation menu may not open when interacting with the ally, with them only repeating a phrase if interacted with. This can be fixed by going somewhere else and returning to the ally.
