10 'Helpful' Companions That Actually Make The Game HARDER

LISA: The Painful's companions are as random and ridiculous as the rest of the game. You have a silent assassin wearing a fish for a helmet, a rhyming goose, and everyone's favorite tutorial buddy, Terry Hintz.

However, while all these followers may seem silly, they actually tend to be quite helpful. Save for the one character who, ironically, is the only one claiming to be a "hero."

Dick Dickson, also known as Salvation Pink, is a middle-aged man who roleplays a Power Ranger knockoff character alongside his friends, the Salvation Rangers.

When the player recruits him into their party, Dick seems like he could be a useful member (no pun intended) as his special attack can hit multiple targets at once for a ton of damage. However, in reality, you rarely get to use his powers, as Dick is addicted to a drug called Joy.

Unless you feed him the drug regularly (which, by the way, also has to be taken by the main character), Dick will suffer withdrawals and start missing all of his shots.

By that point, Dick becomes nothing but dead weight, which either leeches away precious resources or doesn't do anything in battle.
