X6-88



X6-88 is a synth character residing within the Commonwealth in 2287, and a possible companion.

Background
X6-88 is an Institute Courser, designed for high-risk assault and retrieval operations above ground. X6 is very capable at engaging enemies at range and is equally capable of direct assault and more subtle approaches.

X6-88 is first seen by the Sole Survivor inside of Kellogg's memories, giving the merc a mission to hunt down Virgil. He also takes S9-23 to the Institute in the memory.

Shortly after arriving at the Institute, Father tasks the Sole Survivor with helping to retrieve the leader of a band of raiders, Gabriel, a mind-wiped runaway synth. X6-88 is the Courser dispatched to aid in this task. Completing the quest Mankind-Redefined makes him available as a companion for the Sole Survivor. He can be found at the Synth Retention Bureau.

Effects of player's actions

 * When getting the max approval he will give the Sole Survivor the Shield Harmonics perk, which grants a bonus of 20 points to Energy Resistance.
 * He will like it if you enter a power armor. Thus, you can save, load, enter power armor, and see that "X6-88 liked it". Rince and repeat.
 * He will like that you accept side-missions from the institute despite the fact that the game doesn't notify you about it. (can be checked by clicking on him in the console and typing  before and after).
