This is the P.A.X. Boss Guide for The Surge. It includes the strategy, boss moves, and move explanation.
P.A.X. Boss Guide
Upon reaching the last section of the Abandoned Production, Warren encounters the first boss, P.A.X, identified as a Pacification Automaton X.
Strategy
When the battle begins, first approach Pax from the rear and focus on striking one of its legs. Each damage sustained by Pax will contribute to the accumulation of the orange bar found at the bottom of Pax’s HP. By the time this gauge is full, Pax will send a rain of rockets. Your best bet is to immediately approach Pax, this should force it to suffer damage from its own artillery. It should become temporarily incapacitated from the damage. While this is happening, take advantage of its weakpoint and focus on them, the 2 weakpoints can be found from the front, while there is a lone one at the back.
Once you deal some moderate damage, Pax will rise up again and move as normal. Perform this a couple of times to terminate it.
Enemy’s Attacks
