Looking for the best Wasteland 3 builds? If you're buried in the latest Wasteland game, you may need a hand picking out a lethal squad for your expedition across post-apocalyptic Colorado. You can have up to six people in your squad, including two companions and four rangers. Rangers can be recruited from Ranger HQ by finishing the tutorial and you can always return to recruit new rangers throughout the game, so don't worry if someone's not working out - or if a squad member kicks it.
Choosing your Wasteland 3 skills can seem vital to survival at the beginning of the game, but you don't need to spend them all at once, and we suggest waiting until you get to Ranger HQ and get a squad you want to invest in. Of course, we found that some skills are much better than others; ones we couldn't survive without, and ones we didn't utilise much. You can also find Wasteland 3 companions in various locations on the map that are willing to join the Desert Rangers and come with a pre-built set of skills, an 'in' with certain factions, and sometimes a special weapon.
When forming your crew, you also need to think about the skills you need to bypass certain checkpoints around the map to progress the game, such as repairing a machine to get through a door, lockpicking a safe, fleeing from a fight, or convincing a rogue adversary you're ill-equipped to take on, to back off instead.
