DESCRIPTION:

############# EQUIP STATS AT BOTTOM OF PAGE ##########################

This mod is now updated so the relevant (to each buddies equipment) DLC perks and vanilla perks are compatible.

Plus the Wanderer Buddy now comes with a NEW PERK called Vault Dweller, a perk to fit in against Grunt and Cowboy (details under Couriers Wanderer)
to utilize weapons that aren't covered specifically by a perk.

##### Most perks are already compatible, this update adds a couple that weren't #####

If you already have the Couriers Buddies version 1.0 then you can download the updated buddy (version 1.1) and overwrite (click yes to all)
when prompted whilst activating it in FOMM with no need to start a new game. You can continue on from your last save.

If you don't and this is your first buddies download then you will need to start a new game for the items and buddy to be in game.
This mod is designed to fit in at the start of the game - as the weapons and armor are made to fit in
smoothly and be consistant with the game world at the start.

Its a way of introducing a weapon and an armor near the start with an explaination of how you come about
them without being given heaps of gear, while still not making things easy on you.

This mod would make a good substitute if you haven't got any pre order packs.

This gives you the Courier his/her proper clothing to start the game (as seen in the "movie intro"
at the cemetery) in a patient trunk in Doc Mitchell's house.

The Courier also has a friend that was trying to contact him/her before the ambush. Each has
new Armor/clothing and a new weapon with slightly better stats than a vanilla item.

There are 4 buddies to choose from - use one at a time.

1. A Caravaneer
2. A Wanderer
3. A Mercenary
4. A Fiend

These buddies are not followers.

Once you pick up your gear out of the trunk, a message will start you off.

Each buddy is found at an area near Goodsprings or Primm.

Their weapons also work with the Challenge Perks.

Their Weapons can't be modded (they have improved stats) so they won't interfere with any mods(FOOK, FNV, WME, WMX etc) that effect that area
and it also allows options to use other weapons with mods etc later on (that are already in game).
Remember its for an early game character.

If you get some enjoyment out of this mod and think its worthy, please consider taking a couple of seconds to endorse. Thankyou

####### Compatabilities ########

I am using FOOK wth WME and PN Rebalance and all the FOOK weapons still work with perks mentioned above within my mods.
Any mod that doesn't affect the vanilla form list ID name should still work fine with this mod.
