Campaign Walkthrough

Special Callouts

The campaign for Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel consists of ten missions, each divided into multiple chapters. This walkthough is organized accordingly, with each mission section divided into its chapters. You’ll be given relevant information regarding the enemy force’s composition, as well as solid methods for breaking apart every hostile position, defensive line, or ambush. Additionally, you’ll see special attention being paid to Flanking Routes, Decision Points, Suggested Armaments, and ideal Overkill moments.

Difficulty Settings

There are four difficulty settings for The Devil’s Cartel: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Insane. Insane only becomes available after you complete the game once. The difficulty settings determine just how much damage you can take before being put in the Wounded state, and also determine how fast you bleed out. Playing on higher difficulties increases a modifier that improves your overall score at the end of every chapter. This guide is written for the Hard difficulty setting, but the tips here are universal to all difficulty settings since enemy numbers and health levels are not affected. You may find that you tend to be a bit more cautious when playing at higher difficulty levels because you have significantly less leeway to make mistakes.

For players who have extensive experience playing third-person shooters, or for those intending to run through the game with a partner, we recommend starting on the Hard difficulty. The challenge might be frustrating at first, but the chance to make more money and rank up faster is not something to take lightly. The sooner you build up ranks, the sooner you can gain access to better weapons in the Armory.

Mission 1: New Blood

Hired by the mayor of La Puerta, T.W.O. has deployed its finest to the city in order to protect their client against potential assassination attempts. It should be a simple job; just a bunch of hired muscle putting on a dog and pony show so that locals inclined toward violent conflict resolution don’t get uppity. No complications. Nobody is going to do any shooting today.

Right.
