Fighting groups of hostiles is even more daunting.
You must be careful during every single battle.
First of all, try tolure singular enemiesaway from the group.
Attacks like these are also harder to spot when you’re focused on fighting the foe closest to you.
You shouldavoid them early on, as they can kill you easily with even a single hit.

Another easily recruitable companion isNasty, found in Morkon Grotto to the east of where the prologue ended.
After entering the Grotto head straight and you’ll meet Nasty during a cutscene.
The Destruction meter can also influence your choice between Caja and Nasty.

These locations can be found near where you finished the prologue.
The first location you should visit is theBastion, found north of where the prologue ended.
This place will serve as abaseof sorts for Jax and his allies.
You’ll visit the Bastion for the first time during theInfectedmain quest.
Adam will be the only person present at first, but other characters may also come here later.
