Gameplay & Mechanics
Companions/Followers
Splintered AI Constructs: Instead of a single companion, P-3 might interact with multiple, smaller AI constructs within Limbo, each offering different abilities or perspectives on the world.
Artificial Intelligence
None (Primarily Solo): RAGE 2 is a single-player experience focused on Walker. While you interact with key allies like Lily Prowley, Loosum Hagar, John Marshall, and Dr. Kvasir for missions and story progression, they do not act as persistent, controllable combat companions in the field.
Key Collectibles
Memory Fragments: Found within Limbo, these collectibles would likely be visual or auditory fragments of P-3 and Ekaterina's shared past, piecing together their backstory.
Corrupted Data Logs: The sequel's version of 'Chirpers,' these would be fragmented data logs from rogue AIs or trapped consciousnesses, providing lore about the nature of Limbo.
Arks: Sealed underground bunkers from before the asteroid impact. Discovering and clearing Arks unlocks new Nanotrite abilities for Walker and new weapons. They are major points of interest and progression.
Data Pads: PDAs or similar devices found throughout the wasteland, containing lore entries, personal logs, and information about the world, its inhabitants, and past events.
Storage Containers: Orange-glowing containers found in various locations, holding Feltrite (upgrade currency), cash, or other resources.
Spy Drones: Small, hovering Authority drones that must be shot down. Destroying them all in a region often contributes to location completion and rewards.
MBTV Banners / Targets (Mutant Bash TV): Within the Mutant Bash TV arenas, specific targets or banners might need to be destroyed for challenges or completion.
