Your companions use you as cover. Cover used in this way is fully destructible.

I'm afraid he's not. Only melee companions don't use you as a cover but you can use as much.

So basically only other critter counted as cover?
No, only the PC is used as cover.
Other critters are used as secondary covers (by tertiary critters), in case the PC is missed.

And people says that this is outdated, we have fully destructible cover. You can't see how far your torso flies after a shotgun blast.
To answer this question for real this time:
You can only use cover like other TB shooters (old x-com, *not new*/ Jagged Alliance(2)). Cover is anything that breaks line of sight. For example you spend 1 AP to move 1 hex, shoot, and then 1 AP to move back and break LOS again. Like for example a doorway or the corner of a building. You cannot shoot from cover.

Actually, I have seen both party-member NPCs and critters taking shots meant for my PCs. Is this cover, or simply a critical miss scenario? In either case, I always try to put somebody between me and at least some of the shooters.
