So far we have seen two non-player characters: Bombshell and Gus. Bombshell is a woman from a 3D shooter that 3D Realms previously had in development. She will originally be under Dr. Proton’s command, but somehow Duke gets her to help him. Bombshell seems to be the only woman who isn’t attracted to Duke, so Duke naturally makes the assumption that she is a lesbian. Whether she actually is a lesbian, or if Duke just thinks that is currently unknown. Bombshell might be a choice as a player in multiplayer matches. Gus is an old miner that Duke meets up with in Morningwood, Arizona, a small mining town. It is unclear what exactly Gus will do for Duke besides make fun of his sunglasses.
