Gotham Knights 2 & 4 Players Co-Op [Explained]

Despite having four heroes in the game, the multiplayer of Gotham Knights is unfortunately only restricted to 2 players only. Fortunately, WB Montreal also released an additional four-player co-op mode named Heroic Assault. It is separate from the campaign.

Multiplayer In Gotham Knights

The multiplayer of Gotham Knights allows the player to play the entire game with either friends or random people online, whether they wish to go on patrol to fight crime or breeze through the story missions. 

The game features seamless co-op as another player can join you at any time they want, and you can switch from playing solo to co-op or vice versa without any consequences. However, do keep in mind that Gotham Knights do not support crossplay, and you will only be able to play the game with people who are on the same platform as you.

How To Unlock & Start Multiplayer

In order to unlock multiplayer, players would first need to complete the second primary mission of the game, named The Langstorm Drive. When you get back to the Belfry, head toward the Bat Computer and read the newspaper on the table. It will trigger a small cutscene, and you will get the tutorial for multiplayer.

• Public
• Friends Only
• Friends of Friends
• Invite Players

If you do not care about with whom you are playing the game, and you just wish to experience co-op, then the best choice would be the “Public” option, as you will be able to find a co-op game with relative ease.

In order to join a random person’s world, select the “Multiplayer” option in the menu and select the “Quick Match” option. It will automatically start searching for available games that you can join for co-op. Some players might face the Failed To Join Session error.

If you want your game to be available for other players to join, then open your social wheel and go into the multiplayer option. Simply select the top option, as it will set your game public.

Every other multiplayer option is self-explanatory. If you want your friends to join your game at whatever time they desire, then set the option to “Friends Only.” If you want your world to be a little bit more open so that even friends of your friends can join, then the option is also available.

And finally, if you want your world to be private, then set the multiplayer option to “Invite Only,” as then only those players will be able to join your world to whom you have personally sent an in-game invite.

How Does The Multiplayer Work In Gotham Knights

The answer is quite straightforward; everything will scale depending on the level of the host. Let’s say you are level 20, and the host is level 10. If there is a character level disparity, then the player with the higher level will automatically scale down and sync with the host. Aside from the character-level scaling, enemies will generally become tougher and harder to take down.

However, we would say that the trade-off is worth it because there is strength in numbers, and you and your friends will have the skills of two different knights at your disposal instead of only depending on only one character.

Some quality-of-life improvements were further added in the multiplayer to improve the player’s experience. The difficulty of enemies scales down to normal difficulty if your co-op partner leaves the game mid-battle. And if you have already completed a mission in someone else’s world, then you will have the option to skip it in your game.

Heroic Assault

Heroic Assault is a Gotham Knights online cooperative mode that enables teams of four players to descend into the caverns under Gotham City. In this mode, players get the option to put their talents to the test against ever more challenging foes.

In Heroic Assault, there are a total of 30 floor levels, each with its own unique set of difficulties and enemies to face. Though the difficulty will rise as players move up the floors, Level 25 adversaries may be expected on the first floor. Also, players should be aware that certain higher-level floors may require specialized tools or strategies to win. Together, gamers may complete Heroic Assault’s 30 floors and demonstrate their fortitude and strength.

There are offline and online variants of the game mode. When playing in offline mode, one player may take on a sizable AI-controlled army. Whereas, when playing online mode, up to four players can participate in cooperative roles in a team-based operation. A player can join up to four online pals for a greater challenge, which gives them access to additional team assistance.

This standalone mode may be accessed straight from the game’s main menu but requires players to finish Case File 05 in the main story before being enabled. Once achieved, Heroic Assault is a difficult but rewarding that may be solved with cooperation and planning.

To aid them in their objective, players will have access to a variety of new equipment and skills, including the new Batcycle and special gadgets. The whole Bat Family will be playable, and each member may be outfitted with a variety of skins and accessories. Gotham Knights have given fans of the show an amazing experience with the introduction of Heroic Assault Mode.

Rewards

Playing Gotham Knights’ Heroic Assault mode can be a rewarding experience. Clearing each of the 30 floors rewards players with level 60 gear, new colorways, and other goodies. As an added bonus, completing all 30 floors with a team will guarantee even more rewards for the players. This is why Heroic Assault can be a great way for players to acquire the best gear in Gotham Knights.
