Do companions drain fusion cores?
If I tell a companion to wear power armor, will they drain the fusion core?
If not, I could have the companion wear the armor to save energy when I'm walking places. When I get two suits, I can just have the companion wear the armor all the time.

No, they do not.
I tried putting a fresh 100 charge core in a suit, and telling Preston Garvey to get in. We then cleared a raider compound, and traveled back to town. I told him to get out and inspected the core. It was still fully charged.

@Nelson Highly doubt it, it's not like you can have more than one follower at a time. Besides, there's nothing OP about it anyway, fusion cores aren't exactly hard to come by.

@b1nary.atr0phy Well, in the beginning, it is quite difficult to get some of those. Also, they are drained extremely fast, at least in my opinion, which made me not using the power armor except in extremely difficult situations.

No, they don't use up fusion cores for Power Armor. I also experimented to see if this would work with the gatling laser, unfortunately it did not :(
Also something to be aware of, the armor does still take damage and can break.

You're saying that a companion with a gatling laser will eventually drain their armor's core? That's good to know.

Did you take the core out before or after they got in? Is she still moving at full speed? You can wear armor without a core as well, but you move slowly.

I’ve had Nick Valentine in a suit for quite a while, and he doesn’t seem to need fusion cores. Not sure if it’s because he’s a synth, but on advice I have avoided equipping him with a Gatling gun of any kind.
