Strong is a very strong philosopher And his philosophy has many in common with Darwinism But he also believes that true power lays in genetic evolution even tho some might argue that mechanical evolution is the future But knowing how technology and petty politics and these so called "thinker" ruid this world Strong might have an a Strong argument.
I know it's 2 years since you comment this. But it would be funny if he was told of the Macbeth curse, so he would go around daring himself to say it x 3 hehe
Thats literally why I searched this video up lol, I thought he literally wanted me to help him find the milk of human kindness and I thought it was an actual quest, im only a year late on this comment, all good haha
Maybe teach Strong the kindness of humans through performing Shakespeare pieces or Milk of Human Kindness: The Movie (Not reccomended for not Super Mutant public). That'd be great.
TACO BBQ12345 now we need a mod that replaces all of strongs dialogue with gokus lines imagine he gets wounded and goes super saiyan ha lol im a huge Dragon ball z fan
***** haha, I don't think I've ever seen strong like something. Strong is the pickiest companion out of all of them. He's really only worth taking if your going a full screw everything run. And you just hate and kill everyone.
+JV2017gameplay Can you do a video showing new players, such as myself, how to efficiently use perk points, build settlements, and how to enjoy the game? Whenever I play the game it feels great the first few hours but then it becomes dull.
strong has an interesting way of looking at interpersonal relationships in that he's very concerned with his own brand of honor. he likes when you help others because he sees it almost like a test of strength. he thinks that when you are challenged, or threatened, you must respond in kind. he's cool with you fighting random strangers because, again, he sees it like a test of your strength. he hates power armor because he sees it as cheating. he hates theft, negotiation, and cruelty because he sees them as cowardly
Strong does not hate theft, I don't know where you get that from. If you mean lockpicking, he dislikes that, he doesn't hate it. When you steal things that are out in the open, he doesn't like or dislike it but he will verbally encourage it.
If you're playing some psycho/cannibal RP build then Strong is for you, but otherwise I have never used him. He is funny, especially when you eat a corpse. "Careful with fingers and toes, get stuck in teeth."
Strong's a funny companion, he says some hilarious stuff (and will even do a huge burp for you!). He dislikes a lot, especially 'fiddling' with human stuff, like picking up junk, hacking and lock picking. He laughs when you kill someone (he loved Gunner's Plaza) "go human!" and he is a pretty good companion as he doesn't prattle on-and-on (looking at you dear Cait!), but can take a while to perk if you lock pick lots. Plus his stealth is non-existent and he gets bored really easily!
Smart for second generation super mutants, maybe. The first generation, the ones created by the Master were not dumber than most humans. Not that it says much, but... if you played Fallout 2 and New Vegas, you would have met Marcus. That is what i call a smart super mutant.
I remember watching all of your companion tutorials back in 2016-2017? Around that time. It was awesome and I’d like to say thank you for the useful content. Yesterday I’ve started my first run on my new pc, and guess which videos I’m going to watch to help me get those companions.
Awh strong is beautiful. He is the most loyal companion in the game. The hardest amd the best carry weight. Easiest way to get him to love you is just keep him with you
If anyone does not know where to find. Super mutant armour look all over trinity tower (were you find him) because there is heavy armour next to the container at the top with the cell
To be honest, the reason I liked Fawks in three is the exact reason why I don't really like strong, I loved fawks' character in three, but what made him the most interesting is that even though the FEV turned him into a mutant, he was still capable of retaining his level of intelligence. I think it would be awesome if we could see Virgil as a follower, say you could convince him not to use the cure, or maybe convince strong to use it instead to help out both parties. That could have been Strongs side quest, he's looking for the secret to human power isn't he? what better way to find it than to become human himself. I find that when it comes to companion affinity, i feel they screwed up allot with their specific likes and dislikes. My primary example is that, Danse hates when you give Virgil the FEV cure. I mean think of it for a second, danse hates the super mutants, and he hates the institute. WHY would HE HATE letting an EX-INSTITUTE scientist create a way to solve the super mutant threat!?! I find that little event to be ridiculous, Danse should have given virgil an opportunity to join the brotherhood, THAT would make the most sense. at least then Virgil would have better chances to develop the cure further.
Danse doesn't like you curing Virgil because it brings into question whether or not he could've saved his friend. Now the sad fact is that he couldn't since the cure was designed to only work on the specific strain that Virgil created to infect himself with, but if FEV is reversible Danse has to live with that guilt.
Strong is a great companion with good dialogue, and I find that two melee characters works great and is fun to play. Doing Minutemen quests and skipping the power armor maxed out affinity easily (wasn't trying), but I don't intend to use the companion perk. I just want to max out his armor (need to check whether I can modify it) for carry capacity and survivability to have a great tank/pack mule complement to my melee DPS.
Strong is one my favorite companions simply because of his melee power but i also love his dialogue, especially when he is displeased with whatever i have done, just makes me chuckle so therefore enjoy his company. Plus as you mentioned he can carry so much more stuff for me if needed than the other companions :)
Ok so... we have: Me - Ironman - red x01 armour Strong - Hulk - no armour Danse - Warmachine - t60 Cait - Widow - shadow leather Deacon - Hawkeye - ??? Preston - Cap - ??? Any ideas for Cap & Hawkeye clothes/armour?
You can also get the quest simply from entering the downtown area where your Pip-Boy will start receiving the Trinity Tower broadcast, a distress signal from Rex Goodman. Once you listen to the signal the mission should come active. As for Strong himself, he is trying to understand why humans, the weakest pink creatures of the commonwealth, are so strong. For example: Mr Goodman here. This is a pink skin, weakest even among the pink skins, who had no quams whatsoever of walking into a group of super mutants and start lecturing them. That takes a special kind of crazy, and it's that in essence that Strong wishes to find. (See various Warrior philosophies for more on that subject.) All that being said, I missed Strong on my first play-through and haven't yet reached maximum affinity yet on this play-through so I'm curious to see how this all ends. :-)
I use sneak a lot so I do use Melee weapons (combat knife with stealth blade) which allows for 11.2x damage. It is fun to sneak up to a death law and kill it with a little knife
My big issue with Strong was that I just kept shooting him all the damn time. He looks like any old super mutant, I just found myself draining his health time and time again. I was so happy when I got the perk and was able to banish him to Hangman's Alley, lol.
I didn't think it was really possible to be 100% strictly melee. My 2nd character is mostly melee but sometimes there are situation where you HAVE to use a ranged weapon.
im doing a no gun run, and i can say it is possible :] ive defeated the death claw at the start and the swan without a gun and managed to overcome some supermutant territories
Most people will often go for Strong later in the game. However, I have found that he is best used and maxed early on when you yourself still have a bad habit dieing quickly. By using the command function you can send Strong in ahead of you to soak up some bullets and soften up the people in your way. This works especially well against suiciders, Boomer at Outpost Zimonja and Baker in Quincy. If you have the Creation Club add on "Settlement Ambush Kit" you can use an empty settlement to max his affinity fairly quickly without the cannibalism perk. He does become obsolete after you get into higher levels and better armor.
*"Strong's strength is at a crazy 24...."* Me: "YESSSS!! Finally! I have a companion who can carry a shit load!!..." *"BUT...that doesn't count for his carrying"* Me: 😢😭 "God damn you, Bethesda!!" 😭
I'm a Melee character with a power fist with strong and a Super sledge chemmed outta my brain, it's by far the best character I've ever played, we totally smash ANYTHING in our way with ease, Mirelurk Queens get beat in seconds, deathclaws are a joke, Supermuntant strongholds decimated in a minute, the only fight that would give me trouble is Liberty Prime.
If you're generous and build correctly... Strong LITERALLY can one hit in melee, almost anything. He's good as a tank, and if you combine "nerd rage" with "berserker", then "solar powered" (max rank) and "critical banker" and even "bloody mess" you will get constantly complimened from strong. Basically, he says, be nice, be kind to good people, but suck it up when it's bad, be "strong and hit hard" "Knock thier bucket heads clean off" (major leaguer perk Max rank).
Well I finally got to romance Cait, I got to store my bone in her steamer truck, but it was over quickly because after all, I did side with and become a minuteman!!!!
The "geared up/melee" Strong is a great companion for late game. But not because of his perk or so, just because of his pure fighting power...he is a tank! If your character isnt melee or tanky, Strong is a great choice for the frontline .
+Strong I agree and I am your biggest fan! I got a super sledge to try and be as good at smashing as you but you are just so good at smashing I just cant beat it! How do you smash so well? How?
I had to come and watch this video after using Strong as a follower for the first time and him saying "HEY" and disliking when I picked a lock.. although I do like that he likes when we kill enemies. I also enjoy the Macbeth backstory.
Dude! Great video, you’ve got a great radio voice too. I’m trying to wrap up things with Cait before I go get Strong and this was a perfect intro for me! Keep up the great videos man!
I've never played with strong before and I've actually forgotten about him. since I've been playing Fallout 4 more, I think I'm going to use him as a mule lol
Actually, you can move your companion away a distance if you are about to do something they dislike. I constantly ordered Strong to move away some distance, or left him in an outside cell in order to pick locks etc - since there is a lot of lock picking in this game.
In my game preston will only say the institute is gone blahblah what u did was mass murder, and he wont give me settlements anymore but i want to get strongs affinity up
For once in my LIFE i neeed prestons settlement missions! Im sick of clearing out the monsters, getting tech, showing a scribe around, etc. I need your missions preston :(
Strong likes to use big guns as well. Don't restrict him to just melee. He will switch between ranged and melee. You will get more out of strong if you don't use big guns, or give him all your missles and 5mm ammo.
I've only gotten the "Strong disliked that" when I do anything technical (hacking, lockpicking, power armor, etc) I also helped to weirdos in Nuka World get their "Spaceship" and he disliked that too. He also attacked the non-hostile robots in Nuka World when I told him he was dismissed. I haven't yet gotten a "Strong liked that", he's a real pain.
if the fallout universe was real, i wouldnt want to know what sick kind of porn would be made with super mutants walking around...and why arent there any feminists complaining about the fact that there are no female super mutants, and how the hell do super mutants reproduce?
My character has over 200 total special points and strong still calls me weak haha also this is the strongest perk in the game when combined with a bloodied legendary effect at 10% health. its almost impossible to stay alive but with a nice sneak attack in vats it can one shot anything (except flying enemies). playing with god mode on allows this bloodied build to consistently output incredible amounts of damage. I gave him a 2 shot gauss rifle and a minigun that fires bowling balls with console commands and he does great with them.
I like having a companion but the lonely wanderer perk is so badass so I usually just keep dogmeat with me. Since dog meat doesn't actually count as a companion you still get the +50 carry weight from the perk while having dogmeat
actually my favorite Strong moment is Billy the ghoul kid, I forget what the dialog was for, but strong will say "Strong no like that" when in the top left hand corner, "Strong Liked that"
I got strong (was excited about getting him) but he kind of sucks in combat, even Piper is better in combat and strong complains all the time. I left him at a settlement instead.
At first, I find it hard to be with him because I really loved lockpicking. But then I just happened to notice he's pretty hilarious so I kept him. He really loves combat and it made me happy to go on a killing spree with him.
The VERY FASTEST way to reach maximum affinity with Strong without cannibalism. (Select Read More!) WHEN: Take Strong as a companion later in the game, the later the better. Waiting allows for better weapons and armor, while uncovering/discovering much of the commonwealth. Strong should be one of your last companions for you to try to reach maximum affinity with. ARMOR: Despite Strong's initial protest statement about not wearing armor he will wear any armor you equip him without objection. Super Mutant armor is rare and elusive so collect the best armor though your travels/missions. WEAPON: While you can equip Strong with ranged weapons this method works faster and better if equip him with melee weapons. Suggested weapon for Strong is a Heavy Sledgehammer modded to a Heavy Shocking Sharp Rocket Sledgehammer. Must have a rank 3 Blacksmith (STR 4, LVL 29) and have a rank 4 in Science (INT 6, LVL 41) STRONG AS YOUR COMPANION DO NOT:Do not do missions, do not wear power armor, do not pick-locks, do not hack terminals, do not pick up junk, do not use workbenches/crafting stations, do not have conversations with anyone - talk only to Strong, do not wait, walk, or use hovercraft - instead Fast Travel everywhere. LOOT: Loot bodies, and unlocked containers. You can pick up all items that are not considered as junk in your inventory. Any containers that have mixed items (example: ammo + junk) the Transfer/Take All option will let you gab everything without a penalty. Because of the grab and go nature of this tactic it is recommended that you have the perk Strong Back rank 5 (STR 6, LVL 40). FIGHT: All Strong wants to do is fight. As a companion Strong is a follower, but in a fight it is best to have him in front of you. Commanding Strong to attack a selected target will get him in front of you, this is especially important in buildings. By doing this he will kill the selected target and then continue to the next victim, and the next, and so forth. Your job is to take out turrets, enemies with ranged weapons, help Strong when he fighting more than one person/thing, and defend yourself. Unfortunately because he is in front of you he has a tendency to get in you line of fire so it is recommended that you have the perk Inspirational rank 2 (CHR 8, LVL 19) or plenty of stimpacks. Fighting other Supper Mutants is preferred by Strong, but fighting anyone or anything will get you to maximum affinity, thus gaining the Berserk perk. WHERE: Go anywhere you found re-spawning enemies. By now you should have come across numerousre-spawn sites, so many that you should not have to repeat a location before receiving the perk. Fast travel to a location and fight, fast travel to the next location and fight. Continue doing this and you will quickly reach maximum affinity with Strong. NOTE: After receiving the perk, and just before dismissing him, check what Strong is carrying as he will pick up items and place them in his inventory.
I use swords and swords are melee, so it would be a useful perk for me, but I'm mainly boosting affinity with every companion to show "hey, I care about you as a friend and I want to give you hope."
When I'm out and about scouting for new locations, etc, I take Strong, mark every terminal that needs hacking and every lock that needs picking, then go back to do those things without him. I find him incredibly difficult to level affinity because my main character must behave differently around him. If I wear power armor, I make sure it's stowed far away from wherever he hangs out so not to trigger a dislike. Once affinity is maxed, he will be left at a settlement to protect...forever. I level his affinity for completion purposes only. Some day I'll hop back on an alt toon who has a completely different outlook, and who might take a huge liking to Strong, then they can be best buds.
I put Strong on supply route between Red Rocket and Sanctuary. He walks back and forth over the bridge with a brahmin all day mumbling to himself. He will defend either area if attacked.
Actually, you can romance Strong, but you dont get the "Lover's Embrace" Perk from him, he has a special Perk Called the "Broken Ass" Perk
really?
And an extremely rare perk called 'Crab Man', replacing the Players default walk to a crabby one.
It's a joke. Super mutants don't have genitals.
No genitals? Then what's the bulge like elephant trunk he has wrapped in his loin cloth?

If Strong had a companion quest, what would you have wanted it to be like?
Me: a reenactment of Hamlet with Super Mutants.
I would want it to be finding milk of human kindness

All that being said, I missed Strong on my first play-through and haven't yet reached maximum affinity yet on this play-through so I'm curious to see how this all ends. :-)
Just go from location to location killing raiders, and eating their corpses. This is the fastest way to boost his friendship.

My big issue with Strong was that I just kept shooting him all the damn time. He looks like any old super mutant, I just found myself draining his health time and time again. I was so happy when I got the perk and was able to banish him to Hangman's Alley, lol.
I didn't think it was really possible to be 100% strictly melee. My 2nd character is mostly melee but sometimes there are situation where you HAVE to use a ranged weapon.
+JV2017gameplay You can do it. It isn't as easy as keeping a ranged secondary, but still entirely plausible.
+JV2017gameplay I use melee to :) i mostly furious power fist
use
I use melee weapons when I'm low on ammo. I love using the Furious Power Fist.
im doing a no gun run, and i can say it is possible :]
ive defeated the death claw at the start and the swan without a gun and managed to overcome some supermutant territories
Most people will often go for Strong later in the game. However, I have found that he is best used and maxed early on when you yourself still have a bad habit dieing quickly. By using the command function you can send Strong in ahead of you to soak up some bullets and soften up the people in your way. This works especially well against suiciders, Boomer at Outpost Zimonja and Baker in Quincy. If you have the Creation Club add on "Settlement Ambush Kit" you can use an empty settlement to max his affinity fairly quickly without the cannibalism perk. He does become obsolete after you get into higher levels and better armor.
*"Strong's strength is at a crazy 24...."*
Me: "YESSSS!! Finally! I have a companion who can carry a shit load!!..."
*"BUT...that doesn't count for his carrying"*
Me: 😢😭 "God damn you, Bethesda!!" 😭
Her name is Lydia lol
It attacks the player by wasting your Time
I'm a Melee character with a power fist with strong and a Super sledge chemmed outta my brain, it's by far the best character I've ever played, we totally smash ANYTHING in our way with ease, Mirelurk Queens get beat in seconds, deathclaws are a joke, Supermuntant strongholds decimated in a minute, the only fight that would give me trouble is Liberty Prime.
I'm doing the exact same
Nice video, have a like, but
10:15 what list my dude, there's none in the description.
Thank you! its like I can finaly think straight.
Thanks for the affinity tips. I don't need the Bezerk trait but I am a completionist so I'll still get it.
Spoiler alert: Milk of human kindness is semen
+Mr. Kippy MILK OF HUMAN KINDESS
Mr. Kippy lmao
All this time i thought it was breast milk
Ruben Claudett money shot
If you're generous and build correctly...
Strong LITERALLY can one hit in melee, almost anything. He's good as a tank, and if you combine "nerd rage" with "berserker", then "solar powered" (max rank) and "critical banker" and even "bloody mess" you will get constantly complimened from strong. Basically, he says, be nice, be kind to good people, but suck it up when it's bad, be "strong and hit hard" "Knock thier bucket heads clean off" (major leaguer perk Max rank).
Well I finally got to romance Cait, I got to store my bone in her steamer truck, but it was over quickly because after all, I did side with and become a minuteman!!!!
I pick him up just so I can recruit the girl from the radio station. She more then makes up for strong.
I gave him the atoms judgment from far harbor
Good idea im gonna think about giving it to him
I don't trust him with it
To trigger the quest you can just go to anywhere near trinity tower and tune in to the distress signal.
Its says if you didn't play Fallout 4 in the description, please fix to Fallout 3
The "geared up/melee" Strong is a great companion for late game. But not because of his perk or so, just because of his pure fighting power...he is a tank! If your character isnt melee or tanky, Strong is a great choice for the frontline .
Ok thanks, I was trying to get Strong but he is a pain so Im changing my mind thanks
No get strong he does a LOT of damage with the super sledge
+Sunhawk7ajj
Strong smash. Strong kill. Strong best fighter
+Strong I agree and I am your biggest fan! I got a super sledge to try and be as good at smashing as you but you are just so good at smashing I just cant beat it! How do you smash so well? How?
I had to come and watch this video after using Strong as a follower for the first time and him saying "HEY" and disliking when I picked a lock.. although I do like that he likes when we kill enemies. I also enjoy the Macbeth backstory.
How does he want me to kill people and help them at the same time?!?
cock merchant Shhhh, Strong is special
I am going to need milk of human kindness after his pickiness
By helping them die.
Watch Full Metal Jacket and you will understand why strong is good. How to impress him and why the Brotherhood is evil. Just ask Deacon.
I talk and stimpack him and he gave me a confused look then proceeded to say I'm weak when I'm protecting his shrek ass from mirlurkers FML
Dude! Great video, you’ve got a great radio voice too. I’m trying to wrap up things with Cait before I go get Strong and this was a perfect intro for me! Keep up the great videos man!
deacon pleaseeeeeeeee, love these companion guides !
How can you not love this guy
"the fawkes of fallout 3"
Marcus from fallout 2 (& new vegas): "Am i a joke to you?"
Lily: Are you challenging me?
7:36 he was attacking strong lmao
I've never played with strong before and I've actually forgotten about him. since I've been playing Fallout 4 more, I think I'm going to use him as a mule lol
I'm running a full Melee build with Strong, I got him some armor and a super sledge and I'm using a power fist I'm having a good time!
Idk he could be given armor......SHIT
Actually, you can move your companion away a distance if you are about to do something they dislike. I constantly ordered Strong to move away some distance, or left him in an outside cell in order to pick locks etc - since there is a lot of lock picking in this game.
In my game preston will only say the institute is gone blahblah what u did was mass murder, and he wont give me settlements anymore but i want to get strongs affinity up
same
For once in my LIFE i neeed prestons settlement missions! Im sick of clearing out the monsters, getting tech, showing a scribe around, etc. I need your missions preston :(
Me too I think I maxed out settlements and am getting no more radient minuteman quests
Strong likes to use big guns as well. Don't restrict him to just melee. He will switch between ranged and melee. You will get more out of strong if you don't use big guns, or give him all your missles and 5mm ammo.
Dogmeat is love Dogmeat is Life.
Mr. Cancer ya
Oh no.
I've only gotten the "Strong disliked that" when I do anything technical (hacking, lockpicking, power armor, etc) I also helped to weirdos in Nuka World get their "Spaceship" and he disliked that too. He also attacked the non-hostile robots in Nuka World when I told him he was dismissed. I haven't yet gotten a "Strong liked that", he's a real pain.
if the fallout universe was real, i wouldnt want to know what sick kind of porn would be made with super mutants walking around...and why arent there any feminists complaining about the fact that there are no female super mutants, and how the hell do super mutants reproduce?
They don't, they're created in a lab.
*strong disliked that*
My character has over 200 total special points and strong still calls me weak haha also this is the strongest perk in the game when combined with a bloodied legendary effect at 10% health. its almost impossible to stay alive but with a nice sneak attack in vats it can one shot anything (except flying enemies). playing with god mode on allows this bloodied build to consistently output incredible amounts of damage. I gave him a 2 shot gauss rifle and a minigun that fires bowling balls with console commands and he does great with them.
When i first got strong he had a minigun XD
He probably grabbed it from the body of Fist. He did the same with me
I always bring Strong along on the "murder everything in location X" quests. Especially the rescue the settler ones.
I like him just because I got mods on and one mod I use is infinite companions
The_Legend_Eli What the fuck?!
I picked him up to hear all the funny dialogue. His comments are endearing.
Strong disliked this video
I like having a companion but the lonely wanderer perk is so badass so I usually just keep dogmeat with me. Since dog meat doesn't actually count as a companion you still get the +50 carry weight from the perk while having dogmeat
Me : helps a child with cancer find it's family
Strong: (Strong hated that)
Me: kills the family
Strong : suprised pikachu face
Grognak melee-main run, max out HP, bring Strong, don't worry about stimpacks as much
Do a deacon companion guide!!!
Yes plz! 😬
YES! He's my favourite!
he bullshitted the hell out of me
yeah JV Deacon for the sneak
+Peeratat R How
Strong can hold laser rifles. As long as he finds one and uses it before becoming your companion
"How to get strong"
Go lift something, jeez.
actually my favorite Strong moment is Billy the ghoul kid, I forget what the dialog was for, but strong will say "Strong no like that" when in the top left hand corner, "Strong Liked that"
I got strong (was excited about getting him) but he kind of sucks in combat, even Piper is better in combat and strong complains all the time. I left him at a settlement instead.
At first, I find it hard to be with him because I really loved lockpicking. But then I just happened to notice he's pretty hilarious so I kept him. He really loves combat and it made me happy to go on a killing spree with him.
The VERY FASTEST way to reach maximum affinity with Strong without cannibalism.
(Select Read More!)
WHEN:
Take Strong as a companion later in the game, the later the better. Waiting allows for better weapons and armor, while uncovering/discovering much of the commonwealth. Strong should be one of your last companions for you to try to reach maximum affinity
with.
ARMOR:
Despite Strong's initial protest statement about not wearing armor he will wear any armor you equip him without objection. Super Mutant armor is rare and elusive so collect the best armor though your
travels/missions.
WEAPON:
While you can equip Strong with ranged weapons this method works faster and better if equip him with melee weapons. Suggested weapon for Strong is a Heavy Sledgehammer modded to a Heavy Shocking Sharp Rocket Sledgehammer. Must have a rank 3 Blacksmith (STR 4, LVL 29) and have a rank 4 in Science (INT 6, LVL 41)
STRONG AS YOUR COMPANION
DO NOT:Do not do missions, do not wear power armor, do not pick-locks, do not hack terminals, do not pick up junk, do not use workbenches/crafting stations, do not have conversations with anyone - talk only to Strong, do not wait, walk, or use hovercraft - instead Fast Travel everywhere.
LOOT:
Loot bodies, and unlocked containers. You can pick up all items that are not considered as junk in your inventory. Any containers that have mixed items (example: ammo + junk) the Transfer/Take All option
will let you gab everything without a penalty. Because of the grab and go nature of this tactic it is recommended that you have the perk Strong Back rank 5 (STR 6, LVL 40).
FIGHT:
All Strong wants to do is fight. As a companion Strong is a follower, but in a fight it is best to have him in front of you. Commanding Strong to attack a selected target will get him in front of you, this is especially important in buildings. By doing this he
will kill the selected target and then continue to the next victim, and the next, and so forth. Your job is to take out turrets, enemies with ranged weapons, help Strong when he fighting more than one person/thing, and defend yourself. Unfortunately because he is in
front of you he has a tendency to get in you line of fire so it is recommended that you have the perk Inspirational rank 2 (CHR 8, LVL 19) or plenty of stimpacks. Fighting other Supper Mutants is
preferred by Strong, but fighting anyone or anything will get you to maximum affinity, thus gaining the Berserk perk.
WHERE:
Go anywhere you found re-spawning enemies. By now you should have come across numerousre-spawn sites, so many that you should not have
to repeat a location before receiving the perk. Fast travel to a location and fight, fast travel to the next location and fight. Continue doing this and you will quickly reach maximum affinity with Strong.
NOTE:
After receiving the perk, and just before dismissing him, check what Strong is carrying as he will pick up items and place them in his inventory.
This is a long list and I read it Strong is wierd
your list is completely useless, this is what im already doing and no affinity
Love him. He's the only one who accepts me for eating rotting corpses in that game...
Strong also dislikes it when u put power armor on -_-lol
chenlien "human look like robot"
lol
human all look funny
@@มะนาวแป้น-ฤ6ถ he needs to look at trump once I want to see What he says
I use swords and swords are melee, so it would be a useful perk for me, but I'm mainly boosting affinity with every companion to show "hey, I care about you as a friend and I want to give you hope."
When I'm out and about scouting for new locations, etc, I take Strong, mark every terminal that needs hacking and every lock that needs picking, then go back to do those things without him.
I find him incredibly difficult to level affinity because my main character must behave differently around him. If I wear power armor, I make sure it's stowed far away from wherever he hangs out so not to trigger a dislike.
Once affinity is maxed, he will be left at a settlement to protect...forever. I level his affinity for completion purposes only. Some day I'll hop back on an alt toon who has a completely different outlook, and who might take a huge liking to Strong, then they can be best buds.
I put Strong on supply route between Red Rocket and Sanctuary. He walks back and forth over the bridge with a brahmin all day mumbling to himself. He will defend either area if attacked.
Thank you I have been waiting for this video
