    P.A.X is the first boss in the game. To defeat Pax go always behind him and attack a leg to fill up the orange bar on the top. After this bar is full, Pax will fire rockets, go immediataley close to pax so that the rockets hit him himself and then attack one of three weakpoints (2 in front, 1 behind)

    After some hits from you on one of the weapkpoints Pax stands up and all starts new. Repeat this 2 times and Pax is gone.

    The boss contains also a secret / special version of the weapon which you get for the kill but you have to do a specific thing.
    Normally in this fight you use P.A.X rockets on himself to kneel down the robot. For the secret weapon you can't use this tactic because P.A.X must not be hit by his own rockets. To force the robot to its knees so that you can do damage you have to do 2 things. At first remove the armor from the robots legs after you destroy the Armor, the robot lifts one of the two legs. If one leg is in the air hit the other leg to force the robot to kneel down and you can do damage.

    In the spoiler is a video for this way,

    Just to add to the above solutions if you are struggling check your implants its likely you collected at least 2 of the Vital Injection implants. I assumed you could only equip 1 however when I visited the medbay I discovered you can equip more than 1. This basically doubles your health injections to 6 and makes this boss a doddle

    P.A.X. is the first boss in the game, available at the end of Zone 1 after restoring power to the area and returning to the train station. Once you reach the area, you will be locked in.

    The mechanics are pretty easy here. There are two different bars. He has a health bar (red) and a "shield" type bar (yellow). Always stay close to him, and under his feet, attacking when you can. Watch out for the stomps, and continue hitting him until you fill the yellow bar. Once the yellow bar fills, you will launch a rocket barrage. During the barrage, you must stay under him in order for him to hit himself, damaging himself enough to become vulnerable to attacks. Attack him during his "kneel" phase for 1/3 damage to his health (red) bar. He will pull out a sword during the 2nd and 3rd phase, continue staying under his feet, repeating the same method to take him down.

    Make sure you maximizing the amount of Vital Injections + Vital Boosts implants in your suit!
