I should have did that quick record thing on my Xbox though. As for anyone playing the Call to Arms (I’m having fun playing it) I found actually playing with friends or randoms to be enjoyable so far. Quick tip: make sure to heal those “ally” NPCs. They are quite useful shockingly if many are still alive. Have some teammates heal some as well while you are doing so. It honestly from my couple playthroughs has actually been helpful.

Dick Justice Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Had a good amount of fun playing this with randoms. It's nice to get a great reward out of your time too. Even once the 3x ends it will still be a good reward for ~30 minutes of playtime. Rev. Gnash, TheOriginalGunslinger and Krommer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4eyedcoupe Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 So it's not bad, I was enjoying them with my friends yesterday, but it's not great either.... The payouts when they get to normal will be sh*t and not worth the time spent, so if you do them it should be for enjoyment. And the WORST part about it is that it is supposed to be co-op, but yet Rockstar decided to make everyone compete against each other seeing that pay is based on the order you finish which is bullsh*t. I don't like taking $ out of my friends pockets. Also I can't seem to remember how to shut off the matchmaking, I'm not interested in doing it with randos.

Rev. Gnash Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 @netnow66 I have only played one location: MacFarlane Ranch. The gameplan is to take my time playing this mode. Things are getting a little stale? Break glass (Call to Arms) in case of emergency. 38 tonics sounds about right.

Do you go over to them and there is a "heal" option? It can only be done when a wave is over unfortunately. But, yes, walk up to them and lock onto them and the heal prompt will pop up. Believe it or not some of these allies are useful. They actually kill some enemy NPCs. Also, another thing for y’all to look out for and weren’t aware about but watch out for enemy snipers during later waves. They can easily be spotted though (their radar blip flashes white at times) and you can see the sniper bloom from a distance so you can tell whose using a sniper rifle. I found playing with the radar on screen in its “expanded” option to be helpful as well.

But after a while we just decided "F' it" and stopped.... But I was also with two friends and a rando each time, so we were fine. In some of the later waves, if our all of our player teammates were dead, we would find a good hiding place that you can defend in one direction and camp there. My friend did 60 something enemies during wave 10 on his own last night because I fell off of a roof and died and his wife was tending to the baby. What was actually kind of nice, when he got toward the end there were 3-4 enemies left to kill in the wave. They were all weaponized wagons and snipers, but he didn't have to worry about them because the game sent another wave of ground troops. Once he killed the 3-4 left match was over, didn't have to clear the wagons or snipers Edited August 11, 2021 by 4eyedcoupe netnow66, kcole4001 and TheOriginalGunslinger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start randomly shooting in the air or at trees or buildings (depending what area you are playing this game mode in). I was playing Call to Arms in MacFarlane’s Ranch with some randoms and when the wave actually did start BEWARE OF THE EXPLOSIVE DYNAMITE CRATES... an “ally” NPC shot it while trying to shoot at an enemy and a real life player teammate was near it and he died. Damn near fell out my chair laughing. I saw this with my own eyes last night playing Blackwater with moron randoms. Two of the allies near where I set up kept shooting the walls and the ground during the waves, so I shot the barrels before they could.
