Even though Blair Witch is a horror game, you don't have to go it alone. You have your trusty Bullet side-kick with you all the time. He is a loyal German Shepherd who follows your orders and assists you in your explorations of the forest. It is also your alarm clock to alert you that there is danger and your faithful companion. Here's how you can use Bullet to the fullest while playing Blair Witch.
How to use Bullet in Blair Witch
He has no health bar
You don't need to treat Bullet like a traditional companion in a video game. He has no health bar and he cannot die. It works the same as a tool in your tool belt that you can use freely without worrying about losing it. He is an ideal companion who can take care of himself. So, whenever you are in danger, you should focus on yourself, not on him.
Listen to him and observe his body language
Bullet is a trusted companion who knows right from wrong. As such, he wants to keep you safe and will let you know as soon as he gets close to you. When Bullet starts barking or you notice his body language change to adopt a particular posture, you want to take that into account. Due to his keen sense, he will have a greater amount of information.
Use your commands
You want to use the available commands when you call it to your advantage. You should have five available. Before you can use any of them, you need to call. To call Bullet into your position, for mouse and keyboard, you want to press "C", while those using a controller have to press the LB button.
When Bullet has attention and he's in front of you, watch him. You then want to hold down the "C" or LB key to display the various options available to you. You are going to have:
- Search
- Reprimand
- Pet (Praise)
- Close
- Stay close
These commands are essential for using Bullet. As you progress through the game, your choices as to how you deal with him are going to matter. For example, how to praise and reprimand him, based on his actions.
It helps you stay sane
When you think of yourself, you may not be able to distinguish the reality from the supernatural madness that is going on around you. The main character, Ellis, will begin to feel lonely in loneliness as he finds himself in dangerous situations, away from people. Bullet is his only connection to the outside world and will affect the worsening of the situation. To help bolster Ellis' sanity, you can call him Bullet and make him Pet Bullet, which makes things a little better. It won't fix the situation, but Bullet helps Ellis stay the course and see it through.
Feed ball
Bullet has a lot of shoulder weight being Ellis' mate as they both fight the witch. As such, he deserves good treatment. As you play the game you are going to find treats around the forest that you can give Bullet to be a good boy. When you find them, you can access them from your inventory to give them to Bullet. He certainly deserves it!
