How To Get Started Online

Rise Of The Ronin's online multiplayer features take place among cooperative missions. So, instead of playing alongside your NPC allies, gamers worl💯dwide can join you on Ronin Missions and vice-versa.

You can join or host an online mission via the Cooperate menu by starting a session at your longhouse or finding a party on the mission preparation screen. Use the following options to be💝gi🍨n an online multiplayer mission:

• Join: This option lets you join a mission lobby without any set conditions. You may even enter a game mid-mission.

Interacting With Other Ronin

There are other ways you can interact with fellow ronin besides cooperative missions. It's possible to aid a fellow ronin and fight against bandits in an Unruly Area. You may also battle against other ronin to gain weapons and learn their skills. These are not live interactions. Instead, you'll interact with ghost AIs based on real Rise Of The Ronin players.

Aiding Ronin

You'll sometimes notice fallen ronin when you enter an Unruly Area. You can tell these ronin apart from other characters because they will have a red kneeling samurai icon hovering above them. You can revive these characters by approaching them and holding the R1 button. Then, the ronin you aided will♕ fight alongside you in battle.

Battling Ronin

It's common to notice ronin wandering the streets in your travels. Unlike other NPCs, these characters' titles and PSN IDs will be displayed above their heads. Fortunately, ♉these ghost chara♋cters are not aggressive and will not attack you unless you initiate a conflict.

When you defeat other ronin, you'll gain proficiency in their primary weapons and win new weapons of the same type. However, this benefit comes with a significant risk. Fighting ronin in public will raise your Wanted Level. So, you'll need to find a🅰 🐼place to lie low after the fight while your Wanted Level returns to normal.

Tips For Online Missions

Cooperating with humans is much different than utilizing your AI allies in Rise Of The Ronin. Having two experienced players to work with makes completing missions much more manageable. However, the ease you'll experience will depend on how well you work as a team. Here are some tips to help your teamw𝔍ork make th⛦e dream work.

Use Gestures To Communicate

You may not feel up to voice chatting with strangers in Rise Of The Ronin. But that doesn't mean you can't communicate. Using gestures is an efficient way to express ideas with your team without all the jargon.

Use the following controls to perform a gesture.

Focus On What Your Allies Are Doing And Plan Accordingly

One of the best parts of playing ronin missions online is that you can divide your attention to address multiple obstacles. Plus, you can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses in battle.

For instance, suppose the party leader is fighting a formidable foe while additional enemies flank them from both sides. In that case, you can cover your leader by targeting the surrounding enemies. This wil💟l give the leader direct access to their opponent without outside interference.

Here is another example. You and your party are facing a problematic boss like the Blue Demon. Your two peers are occupying the Blue Demon with melee attacks. Instead of joining your teammates, you can use your stellar rifle skills to deliver headshots to the Blue Demon, making him𒀰 quick work for your allies.

The main takeaway is that observing what your allies are doing is essential. Then, you sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚhould ask yourself how you may best assist them and act accordingly. Often, you'll discover that you'll play a more valuable role as a supporting player than the MVP.

Stay Close To Your Party

Have you ever gone 🍃on a class field trip when suddenly everything grinds to a halt while your teachers scramble to search for the student who wandered off, taking too m♔any photos? Wasn't that the worst? Ronin missions are similar to class school trips. You're screwing your teammates over when you go rogue and roam who knows where.

You don't need to cling to your teammates at all times. However, it's crucial to stay in their field of vision. Then, if you end up in dangꦗer, you'll always have an ally nearby to assist you. Conversely, if your ally gets in deep trouble, you'll be close enough to aid them.

Have you lost sight of your teammates? There's no need to worry! The game UI uses two markers to direct you to allies: a blue dot and a yellow dot. Follow these dots whenever you feel lost.
