I had Cross and Dogmeat with me at the time. Nobody died. Although I would have felt better if SOMEBODY did.
Well, Cross got killed by an officer that stole the Alien Blaster from the armory.
Oh, no. Adams Air Force Base isn't that hard, but the Reavers are beasty.
I had Butch, Charon, Cross and my level 25 self and it was still the most challenging battle in the entire game.
And yeah, on the Mobile Base Crawler, I couldn't find the Alien Blaster in the crate (I knew it would be that due to the cells) and then I witnessed Cross (worst follower, and the most annoying) use it on an Enclave soldier! That was mine.
I promptly took it back.
