Due to Mac's advanced levels of stupidity and inability to do pretty much anything right, his perk list is a little bit...
limited.

Lead Belly - his severe alcoholism has refined his stomach into a pure machine, especially after his insane weight fluctuations and his later buffness

none.

none.

Great Khan armour (any kind)
-these seem to match (at least in my mind) as they are all sleeveless, which means he can show off his "tribal" tats

1st recon or boone beret
-these match the outfit both he and Dee wear when attempting to "clean up the streets of Philly" A.K.A "Beat up the homeless"

All-purpose science suit
-looks like the hazmat suit he wears in "the gang gets quarantined"

Combat Armour mk1/mk2
-vaguely similar to the military uniform he wears while playing the VR game in "PTSDee"

Dean's Tuxedo
-fairly closely matches the tuxedos that Charlie, Dennis and he all wear when conducting trash pickup in a limo




9mm pistol or Maria
-This is the gun the gang buys to protect the bar. it's also the closest model to the one he uses to try and blow up Dee's car

Hunting Shotgun
-Is the same model of shotgun that he uses for the "shot gun" idea

Assault Carbine
-this is the rifle he holds in the PTSDee VR game

Police Pistol
-closest model to Frank's signature weapon, which Mac uses briefly when the gang gets held hostage

police baton
-very similar to the small bat/baton that he and Dee use when attempting to "clean up the streets"

Frag Grenade
-"Is that it?"

Katana
-"I brought a sabre"

Any form of Rocket Launcher
-since the RPG-7 type model isn't present in Fallout these will have to do if you wish to employ the greatest valentines gift of all time

Mac has a tendency to try to either play all sides or make short-sighted decisions with short-term rewards rather than considering the bigger picture.

Caesar's Legion
-let's state the obvious here. Mac hates women. The legion subjugates women. seems pretty straightforward. though they outlaw the use of chems and likely alcohol, it's not entirely unlikely that he would side with them just to ♥♥♥♥ over the women of the wasteland and for the opportunity to oil up all of the legions beefcakes (looking at you, Lanius), as well as placing himself in a position of relative power within the legion.

NCR
-Mac's disdain for the inefficiency of government and bureaucracy would likely prevent him from meaningfully engaging with the possible long-term benefits of backing any type of typical governmental structure, however he would probably do a couple of quests for them just for the ego boost of them saying they like him.

YES man/independent Vegas
-Although he would definitely find himself wanting to be the new King of Vegas, it would immediately collapse into chaos under his watch. That being said, he's not exactly aware of his lack of leadership skills, or good ideas.

-This could differ depending on which era of Mac we're playing as, so I'll try to address each companion I think would best suit some of his seperate eras.

Rex
-likely seeing a bit of his childhood (and somehow adulthood) dog Poppins in Rex, Mac would absolutely take him on as a companion.

Arcade Gannon
-Despite Arcade being the only openly gay male companion, Mac would reject Arcades companionship outright due to Gannon's altruistic attitudes and desire to help people for free
