AJ_Radio Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Just a heads up for anybody jumping into this game to tackle the online. I only just started playing as I played for 20 or so minutes to get a feel for the controls and sensitivity, so I can't speak from experience here. Aside from the multiplayer trophies that require another person, the co-op mission Missile Plant requires another player as I've been told you need another player to help Sam and Briggs escape through three sets of closing doors. A post I found on the PST.org forums confirms you need a partner for this mission: https://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/topic/194771-platinum-difficulty-rating/page/2/ It's not impossible to get the platinum provided you've done all the online once the servers shut. But I can easily imagine that the vast majority of us don't have another person to play couch co-op with. Splinter Cell Blacklist have split screen co-op so most of the actual co-op stuff can be done solo with two controllers. It's just that this particular mission, especially towards the end, is practically impossible to do by yourself. You guys may want to get this mission out of the way with the online still intact. Better safe than sorry. EDIT: It’s very possible to solo all of Briggs co-op missions, though this requires a good deal of skill with two controllers. Though there’s still a bunch of online trophies that will be unobtainable Sept 1st. Edited July 18, 2022 by AJ_Radio Changed Topic Title 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmanrising53 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I recently played through this and I believe missions 2 and 4 both have an escape sequence that would be pretty hard to solo with 2 controllers. In addition to this there r sequences where one player needs to provide cover fire for the other and so on. I would definitely get all the co-op related trophies and collectibles now if u don't have anyone to play co-op with in split-screen when the servers shut down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just those specific co-op missions? Briggs missions are specifically tailored for co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggs missions are specifically tailored for co-op. Yeah those 2 missions would be the hardest ones to solo. I did the 3rd mission twice (to get the trophy related to the mission for both of us), and can't remember that particular mission having any sequences that would pose a huge problem solo. However u have to beat the missions in order so it'd make the most sense to play through all of them with a partner while grabbing all the collectibles along the way as well to avoid having to replay them. I believe u can also get the interrogation trophy for both players in one run on mission 3 if u reload a checkpoint/fail the section that follows after one player gets the trophy, something that wasn't mentioned in the guide. This was something I found out on accident during my second run of the mission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHealthy Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Its tricky but not impossible to solo both escape sequences. I used a rubber band to hold forward on Briggs, then used my right hand to hold X for both and used my left to control Sam and adjust Briggs camera which causes him to turn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakD_710 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Yeah, it's definitely tricky as @MrHealthy said but very possible. I recently did all of it split-screen by myself and escaping the bunker is a bit of a pain to nail down. The only problem was getting used to trying to use two controllers at the same time. Once you attempt it a handful of times though it's not that bad. Just gotta keep going at it. Other than that doing the co-op split-screen by yourself is not that hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANU1950 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) I have a question. I lost a collectible in the mission 1. Is necessary do the all misión. Or only i need take the collectible and quit the game? Edited July 18, 2022 by MANU1950 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I believe you'll need to finish the mission or up to the next section of a said mission where it confirms you captured them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedMaverick Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I did mission 1 and 3 solo and ended up queuing with a random partner for 2 and 4 based on this thread but good to know all 4 are technically soloable. Was able to easily find random partners which was a nice surprise as well. You can do the missions on rookie and they pose very little trouble. This game is super easy to get the online done for so if anyone is still on the fence, you should go for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanzenchaos Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Guys are these missions replayable offline? (Ik there's couch co-op, but I mean without internet/server access) I'm doing them with a friend right now but we just finished a few of the missions, didn't know they had collectibles and misc. stuff as well. Just in case we miss something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can replay them all offline but i recommend you get everything in Briggs missions with an online co-op partner unless you got a friend to play couch co-op with as i can see managing 2 controllers in those would be quite annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 I booted up the game and it looks like you can immediately start on dailies. Is there some tutorial I have to do first? I didn’t see anything that I could access to start online multiplayer, which I definitely want to get done before the servers shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can skip the opening sequence until the game puts you back in control in the Paladin. You have to access the console table you start in front of. After that, in the top left corner, you'll see press triangle for shadownet Also from the console, highlight the mission and press L2 (if I'm not mistaken) to go online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deceptrox Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Please tell me the 4th mission escape sequence isn't as bad as the Mission Plant one, I spent an hour or more just in that area until I finally pull it off. Stupid stuff on the way makes it a real pain. Fortunately it wasn't that bad. Edited August 9, 2022 by Deceptrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s collectibles in the co-op missions that I need to grab too. Edited August 9, 2022 by AJ_Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to not being able to move the right stick I needed some luck to get the right camera angle when escaping. It took me several tries, a couple of times one character madd it outside and the other got the door closed on his face. It feels good it's finally over. The last mission has a small escape sequence which is a piece of cake in comparison to the Missile Plant one. The guide doesn't say anything regarding collectibles in those co-op missions.

TheSlyGCooper Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Is co-op accessible from the start or do I need to get to a certain point in the story? How many co-op missions are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's 4/4/3/3 so 14 total. Edited August 15, 2022 by Floorkiller74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
