Call is a gameplay mechanic in Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil Outbreak File #2, where players can communicate with other players and their AIPCs. It is distinct from the Ad-lib mechanic, in that it gives orders to other partners rather than building on the lore.
Call types[]
There are in all eleven distinct calls, though two are unique to File #2 and one is online-only. They serve to both order AIPCs and allow limited communication with online players.
| Command | Combo | Description |
|---|---|---|
| "Go!" | R3 tilted Up | This call orders an AIPC to head down a particular direction you are facing. |
| "Come On!" | R3 tilted Down | This call orders an AIPC to head to your position or follow you. |
| "Help" | R3 tilted Left | This call alerts nearby AIPCs if you are in need of help. |
| "Thanks!" | R3 tilted Right | |
| "Wait" | R3 | Pressing R3 on its own orders the AIPC to stop what they are doing. |
