The Outer Worlds Companion Quest Guide: How to Unlock SAM
Here's how to unlock SAM in The Outer Worlds. In the beautiful sci-fi operation role-playing game developed by Obsidian Entertainment, players will fly to different planets, complete missions, and stop the mega-corporations from taking over the Halcyon solar system. The best part of these quests is that you don't own to do it alone. Companions will follow along with the Stranger on missions throughout the game, killing enemies and bickering between themselves.

Why a robot janitor is The Outer Worlds' best companion
Having a robot as your buddy is pretty much the dream for any fan of science fiction, and if you're playing The Outer Worlds you'll be pleased to find there's a robot companion available to follow you around on your adventures. And not only is this robot a great companion, he's the best of the six companions in The Outer Worlds.
His name is SAM, which stands for Sanitation and Maintenance. The janitorial robot was found on a scrapheap by your ship's previous owner and just needs a bit of fixing up to activate and weaponize him (we've got instructions on how to get SAM up and running in the article linked above).
What makes SAM so great? A whole buncha things. Note: there are a few small spoilers for The Outer Worlds companions below.

In science fiction you rarely encounter a main character who is just a robot. Robots are typically borderline human. If they don't already have emotions then they at least aspire to have them. They want to understand why we cry, they want to know what love is, they watch old movies with their head cocked to one side, desperately trying to u
SAM in The Outer Worlds is a Companion that can follow you around on your journey with Quests and objectives of their own. They also have their own Abilities and Skills, Perks, and Alignment. Decisions you make when they are with you may cause them to leave if they disapprove of it, or make comments positively or negatively depending on what you do.

Parvati will frequently talk to SAM and repair it, which will happen at the engineering portion of your ship.

Where To Find The Acid Steeper In Outer Worlds
Throughout The Outer Worlds, you team up with some great companions. However, they don't just join your side out of nowhere. You usually have to do something to gain their alliance. In the case of the automechanical known as SAM, you have to complete the Cleaning Machine quest.

During it, you not only bring the robot back online, but you transform SAM into a killing machine. It's a smart change since, in Halcyon, a murder bot is more useful than a cleaning one - and he doesn't completely give up on his original function anyway. To recruit the mechanical companion, here is everything you need to know.
Starting The Quest
To start things off, you must find the robot. They're on the top floor of your ship, in the storage room near the stairs. Hit the 'talk' prompt on the machine to discover that they're currently inoperable. So leave the conversation and go down to navigation to speak with ADA.
When the opportunity arises, ask the AI about "the automechanical gathering dust in the janitor's closet." ADA reveals that it&#
The Outer Worlds guide: Companions, and how to find them
Early on in The Outer Worlds, you’ll unlock your first companion. As you continue to adventure through the system, you’ll meet and recruit new adventurers.
Companions follow you around, aid in combat, and give special stat bonuses. They also add a lot of extra dialogue and create a less lonely experience through The Outer Worlds.
Here’s how to unlock all six companion characters and what each of them do.
Parvati
Parvati is an engineer from Edgewater, and you can’t miss picking her up during the Stranger in a Strange Land quest.
When you speak with Reed in the Saltuna Cannery, Parvati will join the party. When you finish all the quests and reach the end of Terra-2, she’ll ask to stay as a permanent member.
When in your party, Parvati grants a bonus to your Engineering and Persuasion stats.
Vicar Max
Right after Parvati joins your party, she’ll suggest you speak to Vicar Max. Head over to the church in Edgewater — it’s clean and on the east side of town. Complete The Illustrated Manual quest that he gives you, and Vicar Max will offer to join y
