Introduction | Vendettas The Darkness II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Vendettas is a completely separate mode, independent of the single player campaign. It offers additional adventure and simple missions, based on demanding skirmishes and it is prepared for maximum four players. You should not see that mode as a standard co-op, because all stages can be completed also as a single player or after gathering less than four players in a given session.

Choice of the game is made at the very beginning (screen above) and I definitely do not advise playing without other players (they won't be replaced by bots unfortunately), because Vendettas mode offers much tougher fights. So a single character can have lot problems with surviving many battles even on normal difficulty level (Mobster). Playing in two characters team is an absolute minimum in this case, though of course it is better to create a group of four.

Vendettas mode is basically divided into two categories. First one is a campaign (New Campaign option) and consists of 8 linked chapters, which are complementary to events presented in the main singleplayer campaign. The important information is that chapters are playable in given order and you do not have the possibility to choose which one you want to complete. So if you want to complete one of the earlier chapters, you have to start the Vendettas campaign from the beginning. The second category is Hit List missions. These are single mission, where you do not have to care about objectives - there are only battles with opponents or bosses. In this case you have fully freedom to choose the chapter, although some of them are initially locked.

Note - you should start the Vendettas more only after completing the singlepayer campaign. Of course it is not mandatory and you won't get any bonuses on the start, but you'll have some skill already in making the best use of the Darkness powers and you'll know the main storyline.
