When exploring the harsh Wastelands of Post-Apocalyptic Boston you will encounter several characters that are recruitable as a companion.
You can find them all across the Wasteland but here are 5 Companions and the given locations where they can be found.
Dog : Can be found in the beginning of the game at Red Rocket Station - he will be your first companion you encounter.
Preston Garvey : Can be found in Concord at the Museum of Freedom - this companion is story related so it cannot be missed.
Mayor Hancock : Can be found in Goodneighbor upon first entrance to the town.
MacCready : Can be found in the Third Rail Bar in Goodneighbor.
Cate : Can be found in The Combat Zone, a Raider bar located in the Boston Commons - this is located to the right of Diamond City on your Pip-Boy.
I hope this guide is of some use to new players.
