I'll use the edit next time.
Ah the trusty Super Sledge, i've been using that every game i decide to recruit Sulik and it's served well. When i can i'd even stack an extra Super Sledge into his inventory in case he critically misses and drops it.
The new game i'm on i've been testing his effectiveness with a little more range with his weapon. Sulik as a shooter does fair well if i start moving in to close range. Guess i'll try the fists in the end game.
