NightFall- Whats the incentive for saving the "civilians"?

We are told to protect these wannabee soldiers from dieing, however even if they do die it has no effect on the mission at all, so whats the real incentive for saving them?

  • You get rockets, snipers, and DMRs if you save at least one of them.

  • becasue they show you a path to get around the locked door...ya i know you are tolds about the path anyway but it would have been cool if you didn't save them the game made you take a longer path or something

I always let them take on the hunters and loot their ammo after I gave them DMRs and ARs and it usually works out just fine.[/quote]

  • Actually, there's more incentive to let them die. Free Sniper and DMR ammunition. P.S. You can still open the crates without the humans. [Edited on 10.18.2010 11:38 AM PDT]

  • You can open crates yourself, they kill you and themselves, and they are cannon fodder, best to leave them behind! And if they die Kat talks to jorge who has the same info as the civvies

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] S2 Black 0ut There are small weapons crates that open if you manage to save atleast one civilian.[/quote] All you have to do is walk up to them and stand there for a second and they open anyway. The only reason to save the militia group is fictional. Kat says that they may have information that could be useful to you. Gameplay wise, it makes no difference if they die.
