P.A.X is a Boss in The Surge. P.A.X is the first Boss in The Surge. Pacification Automaton X is a large mech that looks somewhat similar to ED 209 from Robocop. During the fight he is badly damaged and not fully functioning so he is not as deadly as he could be.
P.A.X Location
- Rocket Assembly Station
- Note: You must have restored power in the Power Plant for him to actively appear here. If you haven't you will see him under some dirt and rocks, but he will not respond.
P.A.X Drop
- Normal Kill: P.A.X Imperator, Vital Boost v.3
- Hardcore kill*: P.A.X. Imperator V2.0 (super version of P.A.X. Imperator)
*To get the hardcore kill, you need to hit his legs and not let him get hit by his own missiles once. Eventually hitting his legs will cause him to drop as if he was hit by his own missiles, and you can hit his weak points.

P.A.X Tips/Notes
- There is a Trophy/Achievement for defeating a boss while carrying 20,000 or more Tech Scrap. It is suggested you do it on this boss as he is the easiest.
- There is no way to get out of the Assembly Halls without defeating this boss.
IF HIS STAGGER BAR IS FULL AND HE WONT FALL: Had this problem for a while, found no answers online but finally figured it out myself, so I’m here to help those having the same problem. None of the guides anywhere seem to mention this but if you’re going for the 2.0 hardcore kill weapon, what you need to do is get in there and bait the 3-stomp combo, and hit his leg WHILE THE OTHER LEG IS LIFTED. He’ll fall instantly if you attack while he’s standing on one leg, as long as the orange bar is full of course.

Maybe i wasn't paying attention, but if this PAX is too damaged to even use its main weapon, why do the perfectly normal, factory new PAX in the BC fight have the same attacks? It's obviously to balance the super long boss fight, but is there an explained reason ingame?

If you want an easy and fast kill, get the Volatile Spectre from the toxic sewer area before. Elemental absolutely tears through it.

Tip for P.A.X Hardcore kill, when he raises his legs to do the stomp after both are de-armored, hit the one that is on the ground, he falls much faster

the front of its legs are weakpoints for knocking it down, just aim for the leg pistons within

One thing to note is that PAX will jump forward or backward depending on if you're in front or behind it during the missile phase. If you're going for the hardcore kill, pay attention and make sure PAX isn't jumping backwards toward the green windows or the main door. The outcroppings on those walls will block the missiles, causing the explosion to down PAX and negating the hardcore kill requirement.

Doing this gets you the P.A.X. Imperator V2.0 which is a super version of his regular weapon.
Tbh I knew about the hardcore kill but i kept dying so i just decided to do it the normal way i got a bunch of vital injections and a plasmic regen and fought him and got v2 without even trying it just got hard at the end when i was out of vital injects PS: does way to much damage when you fight him instantly and not grind took me a month to beat yeesh
