What a fun ask! Tysm I love thinking about The Outer Worlds LOL I havent played 2 yet but its on my radar, once I do ill be able to do reacts for any companions in that game too!

(Note: I have a few more asks and I promise I am getting to them all to the best of my ability)

Now for what you actually came for XD...

The Outerworlds companion reactions to a Captain fighting with a huge hammer instead of guns

Ellie: 

Ellie isn't known to be outwardly judgmental of people's lifestyles, and it's no different when it comes to fighting styles. She has a “whatever gets the job done” mindset, she does comment once or twice finding it amusing to see the Capitan fight with such a large blunt force weapon. She likes seeing it up close, especially when the Captain uses it. She won't admit it to them, but she really does hope they're careful with it.

Felix: 

He thinks you are the COOLEST person ever. If there was ever doubt it is completely erased. It's so unique to see someone handle such a large weapon in the type of combat they face that he sounds a little fan-boyish of how the Captain gets it done. He would probably ask to try it out, not in combat immediately but to practice and get a feel for what it is the Captain likes about it. He definitely brings a tossball to them, if you can handle such a big weapon like this you'd probably be great at tossball is essentially his mindset. 

Maximilian: 

Overheard a mention about tossball and instead of the excited rambling that is Felix, he'd smoothly agree. His preferences have been more technological, precise, scientific, etc, so to see such a large blunt fighting style for the Captain he's a little taken aback. He is probably a little speechless at first, by no means is it the most bizarre thing he's ever seen, it's just a curiosity. He'd bring it up to the captain, as what it is that they like about such a large weapon over more efficent..smaller..and easier to carry weapons but there isn't judgement. He just warns them to be careful often, wouldn't want to pull a muscle or hit your own head by accident now would you? 

Nyoka:

As a hunter and survivalist, her first thought about it isn't about the weapon itself but rather the Captain's form. She's intrigued by their choice, if they are controlled and precise with it she'd want to watch how they train with it, and maybe when they aren't around she'll hold it just to feel what the Captain's working with. She looks forward to going on missions with them, being out on an adventure was already exciting, but now with a Captain as wild as hers it's even funner. 

Parvati: 

At first she doesn't say anything, to be honest she didn't register the huge hammer was for combat but rather that the Capitan was a mechanic like her. It makes her a little anxious and she rambles a little bit about it, one wrong slip and you could really hurt yourself! To the other companions (assuming she's been recruited first) she does speak highly about your control using it once she's warmed up to people and gets talkative. The Captain's certainly unique; she can say that much!

SAM:

Prompt by evilmouse’s mom: Introduce or explain Nyoka

“Oh my,” Threepio tutted. “What a magnificent example of the ancient Nyoka motif.”

Mara looked askance at the serpentine ring on her finger, a recent gift from her husband.

“Nyoka?”

“Certainly,” the droid confirmed. “Nyoka, the divine snake, has a storied mythology in thalassic cultures. These gemstones indicate its primary purpose, to bestow divine protection.”

Sort of romantic, Mara had to admit.

“And its secondary purpose?”

“Nyoka is supposedly a powerful fertility god, Mistress Mara. The bearers of such jewelry are to be blessed with many offspring. Are you and Master Luke—”

“Thanks, Threepio.” Mara cut him off, smiling.
