Welcome hunters.
The lovable and undeniable star of Metal Dogs, Pochi, is back and fluffier than ever!
As a special addition to Metal Max Xeno: Reborn, Pochi can join as a non-playable member of the party. In order to unlock Pochi, players will need to complete a specific quest early on, so keep an ear out on your travels for any signs of a pup in peril.
The four-legged friend comes complete with a unique skill tree that can be upgraded as you level up your party. To give Pochi a boost in their training, players can feed them Dog Chow, a rare substance that can be discovered out in the wastes or purchased by some vendors.
Despite not being able to directly control Pochi, the deadly dog can be equipped with a variety of weapons to assist your party in combat. From machine guns to small anti-tank cannons, Pochi can become a force to be reckoned with as you rid Dystokio of the SoNs menace.
Be sure to keep Pochi healed up as even at the slightest sign of danger, the battle pup will jump into action and provide you with a much-needed distraction.
This brave pooch will be the first to rush in to defend its fellow teammates and does an excellent job of driving away enemy fire from the player. Whether you're in a tank or on foot, Pochi will be there to assist. Unlike other party members, Pochi is a constant on-foot diversion tactic that does not require a vehicle to dish out hefty amounts of firepower.
Not only is Pochi useful in combat situations, but the pup is also a skilled scavenger and will regularly retrieve numerous resources during a battle. This could range from crafting materials to usable items. Listen out for Pochi barking to notify you when they have found something.
Back at Iron Base, Pochi will spend their time lounging around various areas and can be interacted with in a number of ways. Players will be able to feed and pet Pochi while getting some much needed down time.
Good luck out there hunters. The future of humanity is in strong hands... and paws!
