Which hero suits me best?
In Gotham Knights you can choose between four different heroes. The heroes vary greatly in their gameplay and have unique abilities and weapons.
Nightwing
- Talented acrobat
- Fast-paced combos
- Expert with Escrima sticks
Nightwing is the most agile hero. His skills grant him various bonuses when dodging enemy attacks or attacking enemies from the air. Holding the dodge button with Nightwing will perform a rapid sequence of reverse jumps. This dodge chain restores some of your swing.
Robin
- camouflage specialist
- Tactical genius
- Master with the long stick
Robin relies heavily on stealth . If you prefer stealth gameplay, there is no better hero. If you secretly turn off an opponent, your damage and defense will temporarily increase.
In addition, you have a short teleport and are less noticeable when you move crouched. Also in the fight Robin is not to be underestimated. Here he relies primarily on elemental damage and the resulting elemental effects.
bat girl
- hacker
- Tough
- Single Target Breaker
Batgirl is the most resilient heroine of the group, making it a good choice for beginners and solo players . Through her abilities, Batgirl regenerates a portion of her life points when she kills an opponent.
If you go down in battle, you can revive yourself once. Life packs also have a greater effect on you and temporarily increase your combat values when used. In addition, Batgirl can hack enemy turrets and cameras .
Redhood
- Raw Punches
- powerhouse
- Marksman
With his two pistols, Red Hood is the best ranged fighter in the squad. By acquiring new skills, you can increase your ranged damage even further. Further upgrades in turn increase your general damage.
When Red Hood defeats an opponent, he can terrify the other enemies, temporarily stunning them. Red Hood also has a concussion mine that is good for fighting groups of enemies.
How do I change my hero?
When you start the game for the first time, you will have to choose your first hero after the opening sequence. Before you can change the hero for the first time, the tutorial and prologue must be completed.
From now on, the old clock tower in Gotham serves as Batcave replacement . After the new hideout has been put into operation, you also get the opportunity to switch between the four heroes.
To the left of the large Batcomputer are the costumes of the Four Avengers. Interact with the hero costume of your choice to switch characters.
Will progress be shared or do I have to level each hero individually?
Your overall level also determines each hero ‘s gear level. If you later switch to a hero that you haven’t played yet, you’ll get equipment that’s just as strong pretty quickly. However, new swing abilities or heroic movement must be unlocked individually for each hero.
How do I unlock new costumes?
Almost every superhero has owned a variety of costumes in their career. Various costume styles can be learned in Gotham Knights, allowing you to change the look of your equipped armor. There are many iconic suits from comics and animated series.
If you want to change the look of your equipment, you have to open the Batcomputer , select the “Equipment” tab and then switch to “Styles”.
Most costumes must first be unlocked by crafting multiple suits of the desired style. Note that you have to craft different suits of the same style. It is not possible to craft the same suit five times and thereby unlock a new transmog outfit .
Unlock fast travel – here’s how
In Gotham Knights there are several ways to get around the city quickly. At the beginning of the game you will be given the Batcycle , which you can use to speed through the streets.
After the first few missions you will receive a message from Lucius Fox . With it, you unlock the useful fast travel function, which allows you to reach designated fast travel points with the push of a button.
Before you can use a fast travel point, you must first secure it. All unlockable fast travel points are marked on the map. Once there, scan GCPD drones patrolling the area.
Aim the drones with the AR scope until the corresponding bar is filled. Some drones are equipped with a protective shield that prevents scanning. Wait for the drone to reach a docking station to continue scanning.
Exploits opponents’ weaknesses
Various crime syndicates fight for supremacy in Gotham. Each organization has its own enemy types that have different resistances and weaknesses.
In addition to physical damage, you can deal elemental damage. Elemental damage is broken down into cryogenic , incendiary , concussion , toxic , and bioelectric damage.
To find out an opponent’s weaknesses and resistances, you need to look at their profile in the Batcomputer . All entries can be viewed in the “Profiles” tab under “Factions”.
Especially later in the game or at a higher level of difficulty, resistances and weaknesses play a major role. For this reason, you should always make sure to have different elemental weapons with you .
Multiplayer: How does co-op work in Gotham Knights?
If you want to play with a friend, you have to select “ Social ” in the main menu or in the game menu . Click on the desired friend and select “Invite Player”.
If you want to join someone else’s player, you have to select “Multiplayer” in the menu. Then go to “ Quick Match ” and wait for a session to be found.
You can set whether other players can join you or not at any time. When playing with the controller, click (do not hold) the left arrow button. Then go to “ Privacy ” to set who can join your session.
