You can only recruit one, and that hireling can only reach level ten.
If you want to replace junk armor with better gear, the junk has to be removed from the hireling first, and that one item will be destroyed.Īt the beginning, your hireling capacity is quite limited. Despite the label, junk armor has the same stats as if you bought it from the quartermaster. They can also come with 'junk' armor that only they can wear, which shows up as red on their armor sheet. Possible recruits come in four separate classes and at random levels - higher level recruits will cost more, naturally, but can't be higher than one-half of your current hireling level cap. Once a pool is dismissed, they're gone for good. After that, you must tell Bossman to Summon New Recruits to get a new pool of possible recruits this will dismiss the existing pool of possible recruits and cost you a cool fifty bucks. Once you've met the requirements, talk to Bossman in the lobby and he'll give you a first-time's-free pool of three to four possible recruits you can hire. To start out, you must finish the Contract Mission 'Pilot Episode' at least once before Bossman will be able to gather possible recruits. This guide applies almost exclusively to Arena Mode, but the Hireling Orders sections also apply to stages of the Story Campaign where you are playing with Deimos and Sanford in singleplayer.
