Coop checkpoints?

[ManTan]

Is there a checkpoint or save system in coop? It's a little crazy to have to do an entire mission in one shot, especially with a 250 sec respawn timer.

There’s no check point system in multiplayer but as long as one of your teammates remain alive then you will teleport to their location once you respawn and re-enter the portal.

Alternatively, if your teammate is a tactical or chaplain class they can resurrect you right next to them if their resurrection ability isn’t on cool down.

When someone complete objectives there's a "checkpoint" and all dead players will respawn. And yes, having tactical or chaplain (i'd say both are musthave (+apo ofc) for no mercy difficulty) helps alot. And dont forget to hold parry and move when you exit psygates, to not get instantly killed, cos this respawn mechanics looks weird, your are usually spawning between your teammates and enemies.

There's a only 2 of us, so at this point at even normal difficulty it seems almost impossible, some guys one shot you.

Keep at it brother. You'll get there. As you gain renow and upgrade your gear and armor and characters you'll take more and more missions in stride.

Remember hte 250sec cooldown time is only for non Codex games. try playing in Codex mode.

Also any mission you do gives you XP, success or no.

Stay in it. My brother and I can do No Mercy mode missions just the two of us now and have a pretty good chance of success every time. Now, when we turn on FF thats a different story, as he loves him some heavy plasma.

When I was hosting, the Codex mode was grayed out, how do i change it?

Do you mean when you are in the lobby waiting for other brothers?
Codex ON/OFF is set before you launch the hosted game. It is under the password field as a on/off tick box along with Friendly Fire on/off
Unfortunately you have to set it here before launching the game - although i think if you start the game with it on you can switch if off in the lobby screen - just not the other way around?!?!

If your playing co-operative with a friend, One should be a tactical and one an apothacary, Should the Apothacary go down the Tactical can revive him, Positioning and loadouts are key.

As for positioning, Your right handed with your weapons, So your going to stand on the left side of your teammates if going down a corridors to bring all guns to bare, Also when moving with two players, Always keep an eye on your rear and flanks as assassins can just come out of no where and end you.

Loadouts help so much, Depending on what you or your friend are running i can offer advice that could make things easier but if you don't have a lot of upgrades then you'll have to make due with what you can suppliment.

It is. I recommend going at it with a full team, if you can. I would usually host on multiplayer --> Special Missions and players would join and fill up the squad. I host because I would usually not find any games. But apparently, people are looking to join going by my experiences. Nighttime is peak time here in the U.S. Pacific time. It's completely dead during the day for me.

that's why you take an apothecary and a trooper.
