Wasteland 3 is a game that is built around its squad mechanic, allowing for up to six player-controlled characters to a squad. Four of those characters can be player made or pre-made members of the Desert Rangers, but the other two must be from the eight different recruitable characters found throughout the game
Each of these different recruitable characters has their own personality and skill point distribution, and some of them even have their own questlines for the player to enjoy.
8 Jodie Bell
Jodie Bell is one of the first “recruitable” followers in the game, as she appears in the opening of the game where seemingly everything has gone wrong and the vast majority of the Desert Rangers in the convoy headed to Colorado have already been killed.
The player can actually get Jodie killed at this moment if they aren’t careful. Jodie is a character built around long-range with her points in sniper rifles, and she also has a fair amount of points in the animal whisperer category, which can help in the game’s opening if the player saves her.
7 Lucia Wesson
Lucia Wesson is another character that can be recruited to join the player’s squad early on in the game, and it is recommended that the player do so if you want to initiate her questline. If Lucia is a part of the player’s squad when they help clear out Colorado Springs of the Dorsey’s that attacked, then she will learn about the murder of her family and start a questline with the rangers to seek vengeance.
Lucia is a character that is really helpful to have in a squad outside of combat with points in bartering for trade and survival for when the squad is traveling in Colorado.
6 Marshall Kwon
Marshal Kwon is the second character that can be recruited to the rangers and also acts as the ranger’s liaison to the official police force of Colorado, that being the Marshals.
The Marshals are about as corrupt as corrupt cops get, letting personal vendettas get in the way of legitimate work and taking kickbacks and a whole bunch of police brutality. Kwon, on the other hand, is still a good cop and has a playstyle to show it, focusing on automatic weapons and hand-to-hand fighting, with a few points in Kiss Ass to help with diplomacy.
5 FishLips
Fishlips is a character that gets recruited to the player’s squad during the middle portion of the game in a fairly unique way. Fishlips is a leader to one of the surprisingly large number of cannibal gangs that exist in the post-apocalyptic state of Colorado, and, when he first meets the rangers, he automatically attacks them for stepping into his territory.
After beating him up a bit, he offers to join, which the rangers can choose to decline. However, if he does join, the player will learn that he is one of the more dangerous characters to have, with his melee attacks hitting extremely hard.
4 Scotchmo
Scotchmo is actually a character that appeared back in Wasteland 2 and joined the rangers in that game. Somewhere between the events of the last game and this one, Scotchmo made the long journey from Arizona to Colorado and eventually encounters Team November and offers his sloshed services to the rangers once again.
Scotchmo is a little bit of a joke character, being the loveable drunk archetype, but he is a fairly strong close-range combatant, with points in both small arms for shotguns and melee for some good old up close and personal fighting.
3 Pizepi Joren
Pizepi Joren is another character from Wasteland 2 that makes a return in Wasteland 3. Pizepi is a mutant originally form the Darwin village, a collective of mutants like her, in Arizona that joins the group of rangers in Wasteland 2 and is later saved from a gang of gas breathing maniacs in Wasteland 3.
From there, she will offer to join the player’s squad to avoid doing more research work. Pizepi specializes in automatic weapons, but she also comes with a good amount of points in Weird Science and Nerd Stuff, as well as a few points in first aid, which is always helpful to have.
2 Vic Buchanan
Vic Buchanan is, to put it delicately, a really weird character, and that’s saying something in terms of characters from Wasteland 3. Vic, short for Victory, not Victor, is one of the children of the Patriarch, the leader of Colorado.
The Patriarch sent the player’s squad to capture all three of his children who all went their own kind of crazy, but Vic is the only one of them who offers to join the rangers to avoid being captured or killed. Vic is a fairly powerful character, being one of the last recruitable people to the squad. He is also just a crazy character and says some funny things to other characters while the squad is out adventuring.
1 Ironclad Cordite
Ironclad Cordite—yes, that is his real name… or, at least, everyone calls him that, and nobody even suggests that he has another name out of fear of death by him. Cordite is a recruitable character that the players can choose to completely avoid and never interact with, or the player can kill him, but, if they do that, they miss out on a big chunk of story for the game. Cordite’s whole arc revolves around his destiny to retake his gang. and Cordite is a brawler character who wants to use his hands to do the talking, but he also has a few points in explosives.
