He can rescue locals ready to bend an ear and they take up arms, or nine warriors are eventually available with a wide range of skills include sniper Grace Armstrong, chopper pilot Adelaide Drubman and RPG lover Hurk Drubman Jr. In addition to gaining those weapons, a player can eventually recruit two resistance members to his team to help during missions.

The player uses familiar methods to restore order to the area, including freeing captured citizens liberating outposts from the cult and causing as much mayhem and destruction against Eden’s Gate as possible (from blowing up fuels tankers to destroying silos and shrines to killing the bad guys in bulk).
