- In regards to crossplay, can we play with Steam friends while on Game Pass version or would we need to all be on the same platform?
Arkane Answer: You'll definitely be able to play with your friends on Steam!
From: Æ๏ภ ŦɭєX - Will there be cosmetic character customization, and will we be able to unlock any items through gameplay?
Arkane Answer: There will be several types of cosmetic character customization. Full outfits, head accessories, and backpack skins. With the exception of pre-order bonuses, all cosmetics are unlockable through gameplay. They're all there as rewards for you to find or earn through playing the game.
From: Zer0ity - I know it mentioned there are multiple ways of doing things like in most Arkane games, but I guess I ask, to what extent?
Arkane Answer: There are a lot of ways to look at that. Some missions are optional, non-sequential, and have different ways they can be completed. The world is very open so you can reach the same location or objective through many different routes. Each of those is going to expose you to their own experiences by virtue of what you do or don't encounter. You also don't always have to take on a given objective in a particular order.
From: koanns - Can we unlock the whole Skill Tree or will we have to specialize?
Arkane Answer: In your first play through you're going to need to make some decisions on where you'd like to invest your skill points. You can play through the game on harder difficulties or co-op with friends to help push yourself deeper into the skill tree. But you won't be able to unlock every node for a single character.
From: EllyTheGeek - I just HAVE to ask about the decision to include ladders to the game despite one of the pillars of Arkane being "F*ck Ladders" as well as Layla and Devinder having massively helpful movement abilities? Was it solely to aid Remi, Jacob, and potential other heroes traverse the map? Or is there more of a story behind the decision?
Arkane Answer: Practically speaking, Redfall takes place in the real world, and this world has ladders! But at the same time, they do add another option for how you might want to approach something. Layla's Lift and Devinder's Translocate can be helpful for getting around quickly, but they're not always the stealthiest approach methods. Sometimes you just want to quietly sneak up to a rooftop.
From: Dennis - Are weapons interchangeable or will some weapons be restricted to specific characters?
Arkane Answer: Everyone can use every type of weapon in the game. Sniper rifles, shotguns, stake launchers, etc. But heroes have an affinity to certain weapons, which will be represented in their skill tree.
From: Izzy is Shiny Hunting - What will you be doing during the day/evening? Does gameplay still progress as normal?
Arkane Answer: Regardless of whether its day or night, you'll still be able to progress the game as normal. However, you will see differences in the types of enemies you encounter and what those encounters look like depending on the time of day.
From: TheArkaneRealm - Is "The Rook" summoned procedurally similar to the Nightmare from Prey? Or does he only appear at predetermined points in the campaign?
Arkane Answer: Once the Rook is introduced into the game, he's summoned as a result of actions you take from that point forward. If you take more actions that anger the Vampire Gods, you'll see him more than once.
From: Balaji - Each character appears to have unique skills that are designed to work in tandem with other characters; how will this affect solo play?
Arkane Answer: The heroes do have a lot of fun synergy with each other, which can lead to some interesting gameplay scenarios. That's a big part of Co-Op. However, each of these heroes were designed from the ground up to be viable on their own. Playing together with friends adds more options to how you might approach a situation, but that's a benefit of each hero having a fully realized set of options to begin with. Layla's powers were designed with Layla in mind. Once that was fun, then we started to look at how you could extend that experience with other players.
From: gwhiz007 - Another question I'm curious about surrounds Remi's skills and how Bribón operates. Is it always deployed and can be repositioned by Remi or does the player have to signal it and wait for a cooldown to return? Does it have an attack or defend mode or operate autonomously of you entirely?
Arkane Answer: Bribón is a constant companion with a bit of a mind of its own. Remi can position Bribón temporarily using her Siren ability to draw enemy attention. While that ability is active, Bribón is also in a defensive posture with its legs tucked in so it can withstand more damage. Otherwise, it is autonomous but following your cues for what it should be doing.
From QuietGamer90 - How well does the difficulty scale up solo vs co-op?
Arkane Answer: Difficulty scaling is pretty dynamic in Redfall. There are a number of factors being considered at all times. For solo play, you're starting off with your campaign difficulty level, which scales as you progress through the campaign. For co-op, we're considering your campaign progress and difficulty still, but also looking at the number of players. Depending on the size of your party, you'll see changes in the sorts of enemies you encounter, how strong they are compared to solo, and the frequency of elite traits. Those aren't blanket changes either. Some encounters are always going to be easier or harder than others and some may not change at all. But that's the point, things should feel more challenging because you have more players, but it isn't a flat multiplier by any means.
