Pet / Companion build possible?
Hi , i just bought this game and allready love the music and art style, but whats keeping me playing past 40mins (so i can refund) is this:

Is it possible to make a build that spams / uses pets or turrets or companions ? Is there any melee? I red about spider bombs or something, can i make a build revolving around them?

Or is it mainly run and gun mostly?

Im horribly addicted to all kinds of pet/turret/companion games , and just need this aspect to enjoy it to the fullest, if there is plans to add this at some point ill settle to that and wait .

Yes! you can. But it takes a little bit to unlock it all. Sadly there is no melee (one of my few gripes about the game as i love melee builds) how ever, there are some melee-esk abilities. You got the melee slam you get pretty early on and there are the robot tenticals that pop out of your back then into the ground and slap the ♥♥♥♥ out of people around you.

As for minion builds... I my self had a minnion build. It started with having two robots, a ranged gunner and a short little melee tank of a bot. They were awesome but my own personal taste had me swapping out the melee bot for the spider bot bombs as you get much more of them as you lvl the skills. More minions is best-est! But on a real note, Having a lot of spider bots dose two things. One, the more there are the more max damage form more explosions. And two, they take up physical space. So they block enemy paths from getting to you. Buying you time to blast groups before they can get to you.

Thanks for info, cant wait to test them pets out! This is all i need to make a pet build, shame about the melee tough, but game is young maybe later they add something!

NPC's have a variety of melee one and two-hand weapons. and there is even a big hand held shield. So all the pieces for melee are there in the game. Devs just gotta give it to the player.
