Survivors

Over 80 unique survivors to discover, each with their own backstory, specialization, and personality traits. Some are battle-hardened fighters, others are resourceful scavengers or brilliant researchers. Every crew member you recruit changes how you approach the wasteland, and with permadeath, every loss is permanent.
