I know, the game's AI is incredibly dumb for your sidekick, but incredibly good for your enemies. So do not rely on your bro to clean up the field. You will be doing more and more weapon switching as you proceed to higher revolution and most of the time, you are on your own.
I switch to my ion when I see my bro is using the Atlas, and focus on the little guys unless I get swarmed by bigger enemies. I would put on my green shield and Temper Tantrum and run away as fast as I can when things becomes out of control, turned back and blast the hella of 'em with rockets. |
