Do companions drain fusion cores?
If I tell a companion to wear power armor, will they drain the fusion core?
If not, I could have the companion wear the armor to save energy when I'm walking places. When I get two suits, I can just have the companion wear the armor all the time.
Best Answer
No, they don't use up fusion cores for Power Armor. I also experimented to see if this would work with the gatling laser, unfortunately it did not :(
Also something to be aware of, the armor does still take damage and can break.
