Beating Vegeta at His Own Game: A Guide to Saiyan Camaraderie in Xenoverse 2
Let's face it, Vegeta's a tough nut to crack. The prince of all Saiyans is about as cuddly as a cactus and twice as prickly. But fear not, aspiring time patroller! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and a healthy dose of Saiyan pride) to forge a grudgingly respectful… maybe even a dare we say it friendly bond with the grumpy Vegeta.

| How To Get Friendship With Vegeta Xenoverse 2 |
Step 1: Speak the Language (of Competition)
Vegeta thrives on a steady diet of challenges and one-upmanship. Forget compliments and heartfelt speeches. Talk his talk. Brag about your latest ultimate technique. Casually mention how you pulled off a solo Perfect Kamehameha against Frieza (even if it was on easy mode). Basically, stoke the competitive fire and show him you're a worthy training partner.
Pro Tip: Reference Nappa. A well-timed, "Did you see how I dodged that blast? Even Nappa could have dodged that!" might just earn you a begrudging nod of respect (or a withering glare, you never know with Vegeta).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Step 2: Become His Ultimate Training Partner (Because Apparently Nappa Isn't Cutting It)
Here's the real meat of the Vegeta-bonding experience: battle. Lots and lots of glorious battle.
- Parallel Quests are your playground. Drag Vegeta along on every quest you can, especially ones that involve, you guessed it, powerful opponents. Witnessing you lay the smackdown on a villain will definitely register on the Vegeta approval scale (somewhere between "not bad" and "hmph").
- Don't be afraid to get a little roughed up. Remember, Saiyans get stronger after a good beating. Just don't get pummeled into oblivion. A little friendly competition goes a long way, but getting KO'd every five seconds might dampen his enthusiasm (and bruise your ego).

QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
This is a real game-changer. During a Parallel Quest, if you get knocked down to a sliver of health, Vegeta (or any mentor) might just jump in and save your bacon. This little act of Saiyan chivalry grants a significant boost to your friendship. Just be careful not to abuse it. There's a fine line between strategic near-death experience and just being bad at the game.

Step 3: Dress for Success (Saiyan Edition)
Fashion may not be Vegeta's strong suit, but Saiyans do appreciate a good battle outfit. Equip yourself with gear associated with Vegeta or his rivals (think Saiyan armor, Capsule Corp. battle suits, anything that screams "warrior elite"). It's a subtle way to show him you're on his team (even if your team is technically Conton City Time Patrol).
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Word to the Wise: Avoid anything resembling clown attire. Trust me, even the most Saiyan-fueled friendship can't withstand the horror of a polka-dotted gi.
Step 4: Patience, Young Padawan (Wait, Wrong Franchise)
Building a bond with Vegeta takes time and a whole lot of Saiyan grit. Don't expect him to start calling you "best buddy" after your first Parallel Quest together. Persistence is key. Keep training, keep challenging him, and eventually, that prickly exterior might just crack a bit, revealing... well, maybe not a marshmallow center, but perhaps a grudging respect for your fighting spirit.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Remember, the key to friendship with Vegeta is simple: be strong, be competitive, and never, ever mention Nappa's lack of dodging skills. With a little effort, you might just become Vegeta's not-so-secret training buddy and earn a place (albeit a very low-ranking place) in his heart. Just don't expect him to say it out loud.
