Jake Poppi
A former FBI agent and electronics specialist recruited at the Scrapyard.
Who he is
Jake Poppi is a former FBI agent recruited at the Scrapyard, also referred to as FC HQ. He is written as the bookish, tech-minded type, an electronics specialist rather than a soldier, which gives your squad a different flavor of expertise from the fighters and medics. His recruitment step was known to be finicky in earlier builds, so if he does not appear as expected, it is worth checking that you have met the conditions on that map.
How to use him
Treat Jake as a specialist rather than a heavy hitter. His value lies in the utility his background implies, so keep him supported by stronger combatants while he handles the tasks his expertise suits. As with every survivor, his specializations grow through the actions you have him perform, so decide early whether you want to lean into his technical niche or round him out into a more general fighter for your Act 1 roster.
