10 Secret Video Game Sidekick Abilities You Totally Missed

6. Man’s Best Terrifying Friend - Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 demands a lot of trial and error in character building. There’s simply too many options for you to be across every possible build and its advantages and disadvantages at the start of the game. If you do decide to be a friend of furry things and give one of your companions Animal Whisperer you’ll notice you get various perks depending on which animal you’ve got tagging along with your team.

You’ll need to sink points into the skill to get better animals but if you do level up to Animal Whisperer 10, you’ll find that you can recruit an extra special furry buddy.

South of the Abandoned Oil Well is a location called the Massacre Site. There you’ll find plenty of buried items, a tonne of corpses, and a honey badger. While he may be an odd looking little guy, he does a crazy amount of damage, is pretty untouchable, and adds a bonus to downed time, the stat which determines how many turns you can cling to life before you become Incapacitated.
