War Events

Prototype Guide

War Events

In a War Event, the goal is to help your side beat out the opposition by depleting their ranks as quickly as possible. The number of fighters on each team is indicated in the top-right corner of the screen. If all of your allies fall, the event is failed.

There are three different variants of War; Infected Ally, Military Ally, and Military Ally Disguised. In Infected Ally and Military Ally War Events, you have access to all of Alex's abilities. In Military Ally Disguised, you are forced to use the weapon you are originally equipped with; dropping the weapon will end the event.

Help your side decimate the opposition.

Defeat the opposing side within a set time to earn a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal. There are also Platinum medals, which are unlocked by earning Gold in every single event (all Movement, Glide, and Kill events included). Even if you have yet to unlock the Platinum targets, completed events that fall at or under Platinum time will be bumped up once you have.

Achieving Platinum on all events unlocks Radical medals, which all require the opposing team be decimated in a ridiculously short amount of time.

To achieve Platinum time in all War Events, it is a good idea to have completed the main storyline and unlocked all of the Power, Combat (the Devastators especially), and Movement upgrades.

Enemy of my Enemy

Allegiance: Infected Ally

Equip the Blade Power and use Blade Air Slice (lock-on and press the Y/Triangle button) to destroy the tanks that spawn. Use Glide and Airdash to quickly get close to the next tank. Just focus on destroying the tanks, and attack soldiers while you wait for more tanks to spawn. When the tanks stop spawning, take to the soldiers lining the rooftop.

Immediately hijack an allied tank. Use the chaingun (RT/R2) to pick off the marked Evolved Infected. Use the cannon (RB/R2) to bring down the marked Hunters. If your tank is destroyed, use Blade Air Slice (lock-on and press Y/Triangle while in mid-air) and then Blade Frenzy (Y/Triangle) to defeat the Hunters.

Final Combat Platinum

Stairway

Allegiance: Military Ally

Do not use Devastators near the military, as doing so is likely to quickly deplete their ranks. Head to the north end of the warzone and perform Tendril Barrage Devastator (hold Y B, Triangle Circle) or Groundspike Graveyard Devastator (hold X Y, Square Circle) while in Critical Mass. Kill Hunters with Blade Air Slice (lock-on and press the Y/Triangle button) and basic attacks with the Blade Power equipped. Collect the red orbs dropped by Hunters when killed to reach Critical Mass.

Power to the People

Allegiance: Infected Ally

Do not use Devastators while too close to your Infected allies, as doing so is likely to quickly deplete their ranks. Perform Tendril Barrage Devastator (hold Y B, Triangle Circle) or Groundspike Graveyard Devastator (hold X Y, Square Circle) while in Critical Mass, but only when surrounded by a large enough group of soldiers to justify some lost allies. Destroy tanks with Blade Air Slice (lock-on and press the Y/Triangle button) and basic attacks with the Blade Power equipped. While marked tanks are on the mini-map (denoted by red skull icons), target them exclusively and leave the soldiers to your Infected allies. Collect the red orbs left by destroyed tanks when killed to reach Critical Mass.
