How to recruit Pastor Jerome

Jerome Comes Home (Jerome)

Like other missions, you’ll have to hear about this returning character’s plight from a scout in Prosperity or a liberated outpost to start his mission. Head to his marked location in the map.

When you arrive in Ramone’s Lookout, you’ll find one of his allies instead. Help him by clearing out the highwaymen shooting him from the silo. After killing the hostiles, talk to the man to update this mission. He’ll tell you that Jerome has been captured.

First, head to the convoy crash site that will be marked in your map, a short distance from the Lookout. Upon reaching it, read the note beside a dead highwayman to update your mission once again.

Next, make your way to the location called Kellet’s Howl. You don’t need to sneak since as soon as you approach the cage truck where Jerome is held, it will be attempt to leave immediately. Kill a few enemies along the way then hijack a vehicle nearby to chase after them. Ignore the rest and give chase.

Kill the cage truck’s driver and your pursuers. Release Jerome and talk to him. He’ll then tell you to go with him to Rye & Daughter Aviation to release some hostages. Secure another vehicle and let Jerome drive one on his own. Wait for him and lead him to the marked location. Don’t drive too fast; you’ll need to wait for him if you get a warning that you’re straying too far away from him.

Upon arriving in the location, Jerome will be going in with guns blazing so don’t bother trying to sneak in. Kill all hostiles inside and talk to him to complete the mission. Don’t forget to release the prisoners inside as well. Jerome will become available in your Roster menu a few seconds later.

Probably the stupidest, programmed AI companion. Seriously.
