How do I get Ian and Tycho better weapons and armor?
For weapons, you have to barter with them. Ask them which weapons that they are skilled with. Then you can buy or get the weapons off of people you kill and give them to the person of your choice. Even though you are going to lose money for ammunition and such, your life and the life of the vault is a much higher price. Besides, if you’re good at the game, money won’t be a problem. I have already reached $100,000! Plus, this only works with Ian and Tycho, because you can tell them to draw their best weapon. Dogmeat can’t use weapons, Katja won’t use anything but knifes, and you can’t barter with Tandi. This doesn’t work with armor, either. Ian and Tycho will take the armor, but they won’t wear it. Fallout 2 has better feature for this.
