I have Paladin Danse as a follower. We are out in the wasteland, a vertibird comes up and starts shooting at us. He returns fire but soon becomes hostile, and I end up dying pretty quickly. I've gone back a few saves and the same thing ends up happening. Any idea how to reset this?

I'm playing on PS4.



Best Answer

If the Brotherhood are all attacking you, then the faction is currently hostile to you. This would make Danse attack you as well, as he is part of the faction.

If this is due to a quest decision, like going too far with the Institute to still be at peace with the Brotherhood, then you can't really do anything about it.

If this is due to some recent actions, like shooting at members of the faction, then it should go away after a few days. Try waiting or sleeping. You'll probably want to dismiss Danse during this time. Go back to the Prydwen afterward, and see if they still attack you. If they've stopped, then you're all good.

    You have to leave the area for a few days, its like this on all platforms, and since you aren't on pc there isn't much you can do via the console. So that is pretty much your best bet, at least it worked for me.
