You can then jump and she’ll give you a boost to help you reach the ledge above. From there, shoot the material on the wing to cause the reactor to drop. Drax can move the reactor to create a platform. Wonder Twin Powers: The Blood Brothers are invulnerable, but only while they're near each other. Splitting them up makes them vulnerable. Arbitrary Weapon Range: The laser-fire of the Milano randomly stops at a certain range, forcing you to get real close to hostile interstellar spaceships to destroy them. Star-Lord gets this as his fourth and final ability after metaphorically facing his fears and standing against the all-consuming Magus shadow inside his nightmare, being able to render his shield ability fully-charged for a brief period and taking no damage whilst active in combat. This represents his Character Development, becoming more assertive and willing to force his less-cooperative teammates in line when the need arises for the greater good.

What Measure Is a Mook?: When named characters are enthralled by the Promise, it's treated as brainwashing and very serious. However, for all the faceless mooks that are also enthralled by the Promise that the Guardians face, they are treated as weirdo zealots who deserve to be mowed down, with the Guardians making jokes about killing them. Gameplay dialogue does have some Guardians try to talk to the Converted, but they’re chastised by the others, saying that they're too far gone to stop and listen.

DOCUMENTS

Experienced Protagonist: Each Guardian is already a veteran of some kind and it’s clear they’ve worked as a team for at least a few missions already judging by their conversations and some codex entries, though it's in this game that they fully and firmly form their unity as a team.

Despite being experienced fighters who have gone on multiple missions already, all of the Guardians start off with only one skill and Peter has no equipment upgrades. Justified, however, since this game sees the team become far more tight-knit as events threaten to destroy them.

Mook Medic: The Unifiers have the unique ability to heal the Guardians’ enemies around them and increase their damage output. They can also fly, create shields around themselves, and trap your allies in force fields just to make to harder to stop them from healing. Like in the movies, Peter is goofy and has elements of being a Manchild, such as being preoccupied with 80's culture. Like in the comics, however, his morality is fairly straightforwardly heroic despite his past as a Ravager, and he's overtly concerned with being a good leader and maintaining the team's cohesion. He also has more history with the galactic community as a whole, is a war veteran like in the comics, and has more emotional baggage. Price on Their Head: Lady Hellbender puts out a bounty for the Guardians after they try to swindle her and kill her pet Dweller. As a result, Bounty Hunters like the Blood Brothers and the Lethal Legion come after them several times. New Powers as the Plot Demands: Oh no! The Guardians killed a monster they meant to capture and Lady Hellbender is mad enough to hunt them down! Good thing Groot can now revive the recently deceased!
