Wade

Wade

Wade Fowler is a civilian resident of Hope County who, like many others, has found himself caught in the terrifying grip of the Project at Eden's Gate. While not a direct companion you can recruit for combat, Wade plays a crucial role in several early-game missions, particularly those involving the liberation of Dutch's Island and the initial efforts to establish a resistance.

You'll first encounter Wade during the introductory sequence on Dutch's Island. He's a key informant and a source of early quests, guiding you through the initial steps of understanding the cult's presence and how to fight back. His knowledge of the local area and the cult's activities is invaluable in setting the stage for your journey as the Deputy. Pay attention to his dialogue, as it often provides critical context and objectives for your immediate tasks.

While Wade doesn't join you in firefights, his contributions are vital for progressing the main story. He represents the ordinary citizens of Hope County who are desperate for help, and assisting him directly contributes to building the resistance and weakening the cult's hold.
