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

storage room near the stairs

SAM in The Outer Worlds

SAM can be found on the 2F of the Unreliable. SAM has no proper AI and does not participate in decision-making, instead giving you slogan after slogan of pre-prepared corporate tidbits.

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

SAM and ADA seem to develop a relationship during your travels, which eventually turns physical. Walk in on them for some rather amusing conversations.

If you have Robophobia! you will get debuff when SAM is nearby.

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.
