Can companions die in Weird West?

The answer is yes—companions can die in Weird West. However, you can heal them by standing near them and holding down the interact button. This will give them one of your bandages and restore a portion of their health. Eating food or drinking from water barrels will also heal your companions.

So, if you find yourself going from gunfight to gunfight, make sure to stop every once in a while to heal up your posse. Bring a shovel so you can bury your fallen comrades if they fall, too!
