Additionally, companions can use weapons more effectively as they only need one type of ammo, making high rate-of-fire weapons exceptionally powerful for them.

The speaker also mentions that players can change their character’s appearance and name for 500 credits at enhancement locations in major cities, including New Atlantis. Additionally, upon joining Constellation, players receive a room in the lodge with a safe offering unlimited storage but not linked to crafting tables.
