Companion: Lucia Wesson

Wasteland 3 Lucia Wesson companion guide detailing her background as a Gunslinger, attribute and skill progression, and recommended perks.

Background: Gunslinger

Quirk: No Quirk

Role Lucia Wesson is a gunslinger and shotgunner. Early in the game her main task is to finish off wounded enemies that survived sniper volley with her pistol or revolver. Once Clear Cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and Devastation perks are unlocked, Lucia will be also able to dispatch tight groups of enemies and remove their cover with her powerful shotgun attacks. Outside of combat Lucia will act as a field merchant and a weapon modder.

Attribute Progression

Invest first attribute point into Strength to start gaining HP points per level, then start maxing out Coordination, Intelligence and Awareness in that particular priority. Dump remaining points into Luck.

Skills Progression

During most of the game try to maintain between 3 to 5 unused skills points so you can always raise a particular skill needed for a skill check at hand. During early game invest skill points evenly into Small Arms, Barter and Survival, while ignoring Weapon Modding. Pause raising Survival at level 6, Barter at level 7 and then prioritize Small Arms. After that reach desired levels with Survival, Barter and Weapon Modding. Remaining points can be invested into Mechanics to take Structural Weakness perk and to max Barter for pure convenience.

Perks Progression

By the level 25th you will gain 11 perks but it will not be enough to tag all skill perks as you unlock them. You should tag at least Penny Pincher, Powder Packer, Antiques Appraiser, Opportunist, Big Game Hunter, Clear Cover, Devastation and Structural Weakness in that particular order. Tag remaining 3 perks in accordance to your preference.
