Playing Desperados®2: Cooper’s Revenge

In Desperados and rowdy tour of the old Southwest. Each character you control has a unique set of skills and items you must master to survive the challenges you’ll face. It will take a combination of teamwork, stealth, deception and down-and-dirty gun slinging to survive.

All action takes place in an overhead tactical view or an up-close, over-the-shoulder action view. How you choose to view it depends on your preference — and the situation at hand.

Game Views

There are two ways to view the action in Desperados cal mode and action mode. The mode you choose will depend on the situation and your strategies.

Tactical Mode

Tactical mode displays the action in an overhead view. This mode lets you see more characters and buildings, and is the best for plotting out your overall strategy for winning a mission.

To scroll the overhead view in tactical mode, press the arrow keys or move the mouse cursor to an edge of the screen. You can zoom in/out by right clicking and moving the mouse forward/backward or by turning the mouse wheel. You can also zoom in/out with

To rotate the view in tactical mode, right click and move the mouse left/right.

Action Mode

For an up-close, over-the-shoulder view of the action, switch to action mode. This mode is best for maneuvers that require detail, such as moving through the shadows to pick off an enemy with a sniper rifle.

Controlling Characters

There are two categories of characters in the game: PCs and NPCs. The PCs (Playable Characters) are the six heroes that you can control. At the start, only

John Cooper is available to you. The other team members join as the game progresses, and may possibly leave the gang or not be present on some missions.

The second group is the NPCs (Non-Playable Characters), who populate the world of

Desperados®2: Cooper’s Revenge. They can be either armed opponents or innocent civil-

ians, with whom you can interact in various ways. (See “Bad Guys and Bystanders” on page 16.)

Despite the valuable services they rendered, bounty hunters were not highly regarded in the Wild West. Not every NPC will be hostile, but the best strategy is usually to avoid attracting attention. You therefore have a range of options available for distracting opponents, luring them away, disposing of them silently or causing them some brief irritation. In extreme situations, reaching for your Colt may be the only way out. Often, though, this will only double your problems, rather than solve them.

Shooting at civilians, on the other hand, is not allowed.The only way to put a civilian out of action, albeit temporarily, is to deal him a knockout punch or a breath of sleeping gas and to tie him up.

Selecting PCs

To highlight a PC in tactical mode, left click directly on that

the screen. Double-click a character icon to select that character and center the view on him. You can also directly choose the characters by pressing the [

Undoing the selection

Right click on any point on the map if you want to deselect all of the PCs. If you only want to deselect some of the PCs, left click on the character or on its portrait on the lower edge of the screen, or draw a frame around the characters you want to deselect. You can also hold down the [

Moving a Character

Once you have a character selected, you can move him or her by left clicking anywhere on the screen. Double-click on any point on the map to make the character run to that location. If the cursor is over an area that the character can’t reach, it will display as a red cross.

To move a character while you are in action mode, press the [ [

You can also left click on the symbol of the standing, crouching or lying character in the lower-left corner of the screen.

You can stop any moving character by right clicking anywhere.

Performing Actions

Left click on one of the action symbols next to the image of the selected character, in the

If an action is no longer available or a required object is not present (for example Sam is out of dynamite sticks), the corresponding action symbol will be grayed-out.

Other Actions

When you move the cursor over an object with which the selected character can interact, it will take the form of the corresponding context action. For example, Cooper can carry an unconscious body while Kate can kick an enemy. As soon as the cursor is placed over an object with which the selected character can interact, it will take the form of the corresponding context action. Remember: not every character can perform all context actions (for example, Doc, unlike Cooper, cannot carry a body, but he can tie up unconscious enemies).

Contextual actions can also be used in 3rd person view by pressing the [ while a PC is next to an object or person that can be interacted with.

Moving With a Drawn Weapon

In tactical mode, you must hold down the left [CTRL] key and left click on any point on the map to make a character move to that location with his or her weapon drawn. As soon as you release the [

CTRL] key, the character will stop and be ready to fire.

Entering Buildings

If your character is able to enter a building covered by a roof, the roof will become transparent when you move the cursor over it. Simply left click inside of the building to make your character go inside. If there are two levels on a building and are both accessible, you can reach the upper one by left clicking. To enter the lower level, hold down the [ while left clicking.

Weapons

Standard weapons differ in range, firing rate, penetrating power and magazine size. For example, Sanchez’s shotgun and Cooper’s Colt are deadly at short range, but rapidly lose effectiveness at a distance.

A weapon’s crosshairs indicates the probability of it hitting its target. The closer the reticles of the crosshairs zoom together, the higher the probability to hit. When the crosshairs are red, you are not able to hit.

Ammo

The PCs you control have a limited amount of ammunition and objects. You can often find additional supplies in your surroundings — for example fallen enemies drop ammunition. You can see these in the main view, or open the mini-map and look for a green cross.

To pick up an ammunition supply or object, select the PC who will pick it up and left click on the object or simply move there to collect it. A character can only collect these extra objects if he or she can use them (i.e. Doc cannot collect dynamite and Sam cannot collect gas phials).

Reloading a Weapon

Characters automatically reload their weapons during pauses in gunfights, if they are not fully loaded or empty.You can manually reload a weapon by pressing the [ reloading takes too long, you can interrupt it by right clicking or simply by starting to shoot again.

Health

If your character is wounded in a fight, his or her portrait will turn red to indicate the extent of the damage taken. If the character loses all his or her life points and the portrait turns completely red, then he or she dies.

Doc and Hawkeye have the ability to heal wounded characters (including themselves). To heal, select Doc or Hawkeye, click on the Heal action icon, and then click on the wounded character or his or her portrait.

Mission Menu

Press the [X] key or left click on the book with the wind rose symbol in the lower-right corner of the screen to display the Mission Menu, which shows you a map and an overview of all the mission goals for the current level. The map displays the position of key characters, objects and places. Click on a mission goal to see a description of it and some hints about where on the map the mission goal can be fulfilled.

The game is paused while you are in the Mission Menu.

Mini-Map

Press the [M] key or left click the map icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to view the mini-map. The mini-map is similar to the Mission Menu map, only without the mission goals. Additionally, using it doesn’t pause the game, so you can use it to observe how the NPCs and your PCs are moving on the map.

Bad Guys and Bystanders

You as the player (and therefore your heroes) have a great advantage over the computercontrolled NPC characters: you see and hear everything. At the beginning of a scenario, you can examine the whole map and see where your opponents are, what routes they are patrolling and so on. They, however, won’t see or hear you until you make yourself known.

Sight Beam Tool

What your opponents can see and hear depends on a number of factors, including the character you are controlling (some PCs can move more quietly than oth-

ers), the surroundings, and more.To find out what a particular NPC can see, click on the eye icon on the lower-right corner, or hold down the [ sor over the desired NPC.

Place a Sight Beam Counter

If you left click on the map while in Sight Beam mode, you will place a Sight Beam counter.The Sight Beam counter will give you information about how many NPCs can see this point.

Noise Tool

Press the [N] key or click on the ear icon, on the lower-right corner to display the

noise area of the selected PCs.

Putting an NPC Out of Action

There are two basic ways of getting rid of an NPC: knock him out or kill him (the latter is only advisable for armed opponents).

If you put an NPC out of action temporarily, stars will start to circle over his unconscious body. These stars act like a timer: their number decreases gradually and the character

ALT] key and move the cur-

will wake up when the last star disappears. How quickly this happens depends on the NPC’s constitution.

Another option for disabling an opponent is Sanchez’s tequila bottle; drunken opponents tend to react somewhat sluggishly and suddenly lie down for a short nap.

Once an NPC is unconscious, you have a number of ways of dealing with them. For example, Sam, Doc or Kate can tie him up and gag him so that he is permanently out of the way (assuming he’s not discovered and freed by another NPC). Cooper, Sanchez or Hawkeye can carry the body to an out-of-the way spot.

Quick Actions

In addition to controlling characters by selecting them and moving them to a particular location or making them use an object, you can also create Quick Actions, which let you tie together a number of commands.

Each PC can perform these actions all together or one at a time. Thus, at the press of a button, you can make Kate dazzle an opponent, while Cooper simultaneously sprints away and knocks down a second NPC and Doc throws a gas phial at a third guard.

Recording Quick Actions

Activate the Quick Action record mode by left clicking on the hourglass icon or by pressing the [

\] key. The selected character will “remember” up to five commands, but will

not perform them immediately.You can see the commands you have assigned to a character over his or her portrait. In tactical mode, you will also see the actions in the form of waypoints.

ataricommunity.com

1716

Quick Action in Case of Visual Contact

If you click on the eye above the hourglass icon or press the ['] key before defining a Quick Action, the selected character will perform further commands only after an enemy has entered his/her range of vision. If another eye appears in the current Quick Action list, your hero will wait for the next NPC.

Confirming Quick Actions

To confirm the Quick Actions you have created, left click on the thumbs-up symbol above the hourglass or press the [

ENTER] key.

Discarding Quick Actions

Click on the thumbs-down symbol above the hourglass if you want to discard the Quick Actions of the selected character.

Discarding Individual Quick Actions

To erase a hero’s last Quick Action, press the [BACKSPACE] key.

Performing Quick Actions

Press the [ENTER] key or left click on the double arrow symbol above the hourglass icon to execute all Quick Actions you have created. The characters will begin to carry out the previously defined Quick Actions.

Commands not marked with “in case of visual contact” will be performed immediately. Commands marked with “in case of visual contact” will be performed only if an enemy enters the range of vision of the corresponding PC. If it is not possible for your hero to perform a planned action, this Quick Action will automatically be erased and the character will stop: you will need to start the Quick Actions again to make your hero carry out the remaining Quick Actions.

Bounty Hunters

John Cooper

Colt [F1] – Cooper’s standard weapon holds six rounds.

This revolver has neither the range nor the power of a rifle, but it fires faster than any other weapon.

Throwing Knife [F2] – Cooper can throw his knife at an opponent, although he then has to retrieve it before he can use it again.

Knife [F3] – In this mode, Cooper uses his knife to put an opponent out of action in hand-to-hand combat.

Watch [F4] – Cooper can place his watch on the ground and set the volume of the melody to be played back. All NPCs inside a displayed range will hear that melody. In this way, Cooper can lure inquisitive opponents and overpower them. Cooper can retrieve his watch at any time and the melody ceases.

Fist – Cooper’s method of silencing an opponent or civilian for a while. To punch an opponent, simply left click on him.

Carry Person – Cooper can throw an unconscious or dead person over his shoulder and carry them away, regardless of whether they are an opponent, civilian or team member. When Cooper carries a person, however, he cannot run. Right click to make Cooper set the body down at a certain spot.

ataricommunity.com

Kate O’Hara

Derringer [F1] – Kate’s standard weapon is capable of fir-

ing three rounds. It is small, quiet and discreet, and fits neatly into her garter.

Makeup [F2] – If Kate is near an opponent, she can blow the powder from her makeup kit into his eyes and stun him momentarily.This followed by a swift kick is enough to take out most enemies.

Seduction [F3] – When Kate turns on the charm, she is able to momentarily distract an enemy. However, the seduction does not have an extended effect and you should not hesitate to put the seduced enemies out of commission.

Faint [F4] – This swooning maneuver will make enemies come to Kate and see what’s wrong. If there is more than one gentleman willing to help the “fragile” lady, they might even start to fight about her.

Kick – Kate’s kick has a similar function to Cooper’s punch, and knocks out an opponent just as effectively.

Tie Up – When an NPC has been knocked out, Kate can tie him up and gag him so that he poses no threat.

Doc McCoy

Buntline [F1] – Doc’s standard weapon holds six

rounds and, with its elongated barrel, has a greater range than Cooper’s Colt.

Sniper [F2] – If you click on this symbol, Doc loads his Buntline with special precision bullets and screws a telescopic sight onto the barrel. His weapon then has an even greater range. In action mode, you can aim at

enemies through the crosshairs. Gas Phial [F3] – In his doctor’s bag, amongst all the medical equipment, Doc also carries

small bottles containing a knockout gas he developed. He can throw these at opponents, who are put to sleep for a short time by the gas. Caution: The gas will also affect your own team members.

Healing [F4] – When PCs are wounded, Doc can heal them.To heal a character, click the first aid icon or press the [F4] key and then click on the person to be healed.

Tie Up – When an NPC has been knocked out, Doc can tie him up and gag him so that he poses no threat.

Awaken Unconscious PCs – If for some reason , another team member is out cold, Doc can immediately awaken the person regardless of the number of circling stars. A left click on the unconscious person will do the trick.

Lock Picking – When a door is locked, Doc can use a picklock to unlock it.The door can

then be opened by any other PC.

ataricommunity.com

Sam Williams

Winchester [F1] – Sam’s standard weapon carries 12

rounds of ammunition and has great range, but Sam must reload the weapon after each shot.

Dynamite [F2] – Sam can use his dynamite sticks to put a whole group of opponents out of action. The dynamite works only against people — you cannot use it to blow down doors or buildings.

Nitroglycerine Can [F3] – Sam carries a limited number of nitro canisters, which he can set on the ground to create crude land mines. Any character (including your own) that walks over these canisters will cause them to explode and suffer damage. You can make Sam pick up unexploded canisters by left clicking on them.

TNT Bundle [F4] – In some scenarios Sam can use a TNT bundle to blow up certain buildings and other structures, which are indicated by a TNT bundle icon.As soon as Sam has put the barrel in the right place, he can explode the barrel by shooting it. Be sure Sam and other PCs are clear of the blast range before detonating!

Tie Up – When an NPC has been knocked out, Sam can tie him up and gag him so that he poses no threat.

Sanchez

Shotgun [F1] – Sanchez’s standard weapon holds two

rounds and is the most devastating at close-range of all the standard weapons.

Stone [F2] – Sanchez can collect stones lying around and either throw them directly at opponents to knock them out or in their immediate vicinity to distract them.

Tequila [F3] – Although Sam doesn’t drink it himself, he

understands the temptations of some enemies to partake, and therefore will strategically leave bottles of Tequila around. When an opponent finds a bottle, Tequila often leads to a complete blackout.

Bear Trap [F4] – Sanchez can set these handy devices on the ground and the next unsuspecting enemy to walk over the bear trap will be killed.

Carry Person – Like Cooper, Sanchez can carry an unconscious or dead person. He cannot run when carrying a person. Right click to drop the body at any location.

ataricommunity.com

Hawkeye

Bow [F1] – This ranged weapon is as deadly as it is

silent. Tomahawk [F2] – Hawkeye can quickly and quietly kill

foes with this close-combat weapon. War Cry [F3] – When Hawkeye shouts his war cry,

most enemies within earshot will leave their current positions and come to investigate. Additionally, with his

war cry Hawkeye is able to lead allied Indians against the enemy. Healing [F4] – Like Doc, Hawkeye can heal wounded party members. Hawkeye’s healing

ability, heals and wakes up any allied characters near him. Carry Person – Hawkeye can also carry an unconscious or dead body. He cannot run

when carrying a person. Right click to drop the body at any location.
