Army of Two: The 40th Day Both Endings

[@AkiraFudou]

You know what gets me about the 'kill your partner' endings? If it's Salem that chooses, Rios turns with his gun, Salem's just quicker at pulling the trigger. If Rios chooses to kill his partner, Salem keeps his gun trained on Jonah the entire time.

[@kaanaltntas3966]

10 years late reply, but holy shit I never noticed that before. Rios was gonna shoot Salem either way, then; it's just Salem acts faster in his ending. Pretty shady on Rios' part, imo.

[@Assassino275]

@@kaanaltntas3966 yeah it's disgusting

[@patrickgillespie4548]

I know I’m late to this comment but I agree with this choice of character development by the creators. In the first game Ryos is altruistic and wants the war to end, he just wants to help people. Salem on the other hand only wants to pay off his debts and to become rich. It makes sense that if the decision had to be made between the greater good and personal benefit that ryos would act on the greater good. That’s why ryos turns and tries to shoot Salem before Salem even shows that he’ll kill ryos. Salem on the other hand doesn’t have that moral compass so doesn’t feel the need to help the greater good. Maybe that’s why in the quests of “save the hostages?” Has a question mark due to Salem being unaltruistic. Just a thought

[@c00l94]

@@kaanaltntas3966 While shady yes, not all that surprising. Throughout the first game and second game Rios was always the more moral one, he would always wanna "do the right thing" in his mind he probably thought millions were at stake and he had to do it

[@JaggsEGF]

Good morality choice (Kill Partner) - This means that you sacrifice your partner to save millions of lives. This is NOT the canon ending. The nuclear bomb is a bluff, staged by Jonah so he can get out of this 2 v 1 situation. You shoot your partner. Jonah pretends to disarm the bomb, so he can reach the pistol on the desk to shoot the remaining mercenary, but his plan fails as he is shot anyway. The remaining mercenary looks at the screens and realises that they were played and made a mistake.

[@JaggsEGF]

It's the ending that is used in canon. If they decided to use the positive morality choice, they couldn't use Salem or Rios in the Devil's Cartel as the outcome would be that one of them was dead, depending on the players choice. It is also hinted that the 40th day campaign in canon is completed with mostly positive morality choices except for the last choice, as when you make too much wrong choices Rios will mention he will abandon Salem after they take down Jonah.

I still think that the most fitting ending is the one where Rios shoots Salem. I love them both, but to remain true to their characters, Rios is the more black-and-white kind of guy, and as much as he cares for his partner, it's the lives of 7 million people at stake vs. one life. That being said, though, I won't be nearly as thrilled to play Devil's Cartel with no Rios or Salem as the main guys.

[@davidpena55]

There are technically three endings. Kill Rios, Kill Salem, or Kill Jonah, the ending considered to be the "good" ending that they continued off of is killing Jonah. The reason they only show two is because killing Rios as Salem or killing Salem as Rios provides essentially the same cinematic, just with the different character.

[@Michi3141]

The canon ending in The 40th Day is Rios shooting Salem (You have to beat The 40th Day playing as Rios). In The Devils Cartel, Salem tries to justify his actions, stating that Rios left Alice behind (presumably killing her) and Rios shot him.

[@jadedheartsz]

@Zack0Amizuki That thing he was holding was a dead man's trigger. Basically you hold the button down to activate the bomb, and if your finger leaves the button the bomb detonates. If a person holding one dies then obviously they'll let go of the button involuntarily. The thing people are a bit miffed about is that he never actually activated the bomb. His finger never touched the button, so the bomb couldn't have gone off. Yet you are still punished with negative morality for killing him.

[@Noneya7811]

My friend and I agreed to kill Jonah, cause we noticed that he wasn't even pressing down on the detonator, so we figured that it had to be a dud; and it didn't actually do anything when he let it go. My friend was playing as Elliot, and we gave him the satisfaction of killing him; but I don't understand how it turned out to be a negative choice, Jonah was a tyrant who wanted to destroy the world, I think we did the virtual world a favor. Elliot Salem is a BAD ASS!!!!!!

[@tristanjeno4890]

[@thebatman6781]

Tristan Jeno they're all are and The Devil's Cartel is getting too much hate!!!!! Salem was a hustler, a two bit gangster before he became a mercenary, he always cares about money more than the cause of the mission and that is clear in The 40th Day and in the first one!!!!! Deep inside, Salem is a crook and I know that Rios is an idiot for not trying to salvage Salem from the truck before it went on fire as he was busy calling for Salem's MIA but Salem is an idiot too for leaving his teammates behind and driving a truck that is about to get shot with a rocket launcher, did he think that the truck would outrun a rocket that moves as fast as a Ferrari!!!!! They left him because they weren't sure if he's dead or alive and it's almost impossible for a guy who's trapped inside a burning truck to survive and Alpha and Bravo are two not three, they can't save Fiona, cover Rios and salvage Salem at the same time and anyone whose friends thought he was dead would conclude that they left him for dead so the story makes sense!!!!!

[@TheKessi1000]

I have played them all multiple times. 40th day is the most polished and dynamic (overall a total blast to play in Co-op, especially the first time, its just pure fun). The Devil's Cartel is the most action packed, Over The Top Hollywood experience. The first one feels more grounded, with a military operative feel to it. The first one is clunky and needs a lot more polish to it. It probably has the most interesting and best lineup of weapons. It has some interesting levels and overall is a fun experience, its just not a smooth play is all. 40th day needs a better lineup of weapons (its good, just not great). They have 3 sidearms (what the hell?). The Deagle is awesome, at least they have that in there. Overall, there isn't much to not like about it, maybe make it less linear and a bigger range of enemies that don't look the same. like I said before its just so much fun to play. The Devil's Cartel is too easy. I don't like the overdrive system, it takes the challenge out of the game (take invincibility off from it and speed up the slow motion a bit). The combat system works, but could be argued its a step backwards. They took away a lot of the Co-op teammate elements that made 40th Day great (biggest problem, lost personality). When it's all said and done a person is going to be biased which one they like better. Objectively, 40th Day is the best with The Devil's Cartel and First Game being a coin toss for 2nd place. I like all three of them a lot and it's sad the franchise is gone.

I agree with you say to a point. I think Salem killing Rios would have been a better ending mostly because Salem is obviously the one who has less of a problem making questionably moral decisions and you'd expect him to be the first to be willing to let millions of people die to save his friend. But I get what you mean though, killing Jonah was the morally bad decision because millions of people died but I think they made it the canon ending to please fans.

[@yaboijimmyjong9341]

Even though Salem turned bad he still is a badass

[@djcooper1061]

I played this with one of my mother's friend's nephew doing co-op, he was Rios and I was Salem. It was a fun game, superior than The Devil's Cartel because of the choice options that makes the game more intriguing. He asks me what choice to pick each time considering he played it before and it was my first time playing, I answer my choices and made the vote on his controller, until this very last choice. I was analysing the situation and he asks me what choice to pick, then a thought came to mind that I narrow my eyes and made the vote myself for the first time on my controller. He starts asking what choice did I pick and I silently let the scene play with a sneaky smile. "If that trigger explodes the bombs the second your finger lifts off the button, why does it need a button?" With that, I voted Salem to kill Jonah against his bluff with this one flaw I noticed.

[@christopher123ABC]

i like how he never has his finger on the button once in the cutscene

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

Obviously its Bullshit to save his ass

The reason Salem turned evil is that he was abandoned when Rios chooses to save a girl. He was left for dead and he basically needed Rios to keep him level headed and obviously, being left for dead by his partner kinda pissed him off.

I don't like how the game has the nerve to say im "immoral" for prioritizing my friendship and loyalty to the one I care about to people that(in all honesty) i have no attachment to nor do I have any obligation to protect and save. Im not an altruistic individual and I don't believe you can moralize sacrifice, its done by individuals who believe in the cause they fight for. Some may be fighting on the side of "good" but even then the "good" side could be completely delusional and illogical like the Nazi's they thought they were fighting for what was right but they were slaughtering people by the millions or countries that combatants are freedom fighters in one name, but terrorist in another. I think this is just a gray decision and its how it should have been looked at as. Alot of complaint is that the ending was very mean spirited, and i can see how people can see that but my complaint is the game pre-judges you on the decision as wrong instead of it being just a decision you make. Tell-tales perfected these kinds of true moral decisions Army of Two the 40th day was just playing with the idea in my opinion.

Considering he let go of the trigger and held it with 2 fingers, it is obviously not a dead man's - and it's pretty obvious to me he's just trying to manipulate with his speech. I'd have called bluff on the nuclear detonator gotten it from him somehow, then dragged him over to his computers to give the order to stop... if he didn't feel like doing it voluntarily I'd have begun pulverizing bodyparts until he complied. That or gotten S3kshun8 to help out after I got rid of him. (if he's around)

[@themasteriswatching]

@hamster12512 The bomb was hooked up to a manual detonator, and, in any sense, like with the rest of the 1000 enemies in this game, it's best to just shoot someone with a weapon that threatens you as soon as possible (like real life). The detonator is just as dangerous to you as a stray bullet, plus one would assume the guy were armed, so might as well just shoot. Not to mention Salem and Rios have magical slow mo powers and probably could have shot the detonator itself out of his hand instantly

[@theNasirCorporation]

Anybody else notice that if you kill Rios, Salem's face is all dirty, scratched, and bandaged? But if you kill Jonah (The Enemy) his face is all clean, and theres not scratches or anything? Try and see.

If you leave him to the girl's mercy, she turns out to be a KGB agent who kills his wife, and almost his infant child.

[@Spidertank755]

The first choice where you let go the guy is good even though he gets killed later, if let go the police officer in the second choice he gives weapons to the enemy so that's bad, if you let the tiger live is good, if you stop breznov he turns out to be the good guy so that's bad, in the end if you kill Johan, the nuke turns out to be a bluff so it is good, even though the game gives you those moral things on the side that doesn't make much sense to me

You only get the ending with Salem in the roflcopter talking to the guy if u kill rios

[@RattleSnakeHead]

@PyroBooty96 killing ur partner its supposed to be the "good ending"

[@IDyce88]

I have a question for people...what morality choices did you make in 40th Day? I let JB go because IMO that seems more like what Rios n Salem would do...they don't take orders from anyone, they are their own bosses now...that was the point of the first game. I took the weapons...true u kill the guard if this happens but Salem does it by accident so... I refuse to kill the tiger WTF why would I kill it? that is just harsh. I tell the kid to stay hidden in the hospital, don't try n grab the gun. I stop the Russian guy from hurting the woman...true she isn't nice but Rios and Salem couldn't have known that. To be honest the final choice seems obvious to me...kill Jonah...also if you do this shanghai doesn't blow up anyway so I don't get the big deal...its like there is no consequence to it. but having Salem do that sets up his behaviour in the third game much better IMO than if he shoots Rios.

[@JCHogg-ks3ec]

The detonator is a ploy in both endings but if you shoot Jonah, he doesn't give the order for his men to pull out.

[@IDyce88]

J.C. Hogg ah, but screw that, his men are all dead...or most of them are. i'm curious though, when they mention Shanghai in the third game which ending were they referring too...cause I always kill Jonah...it makes more sense with Salem going off the deep end.

[@mmartinz7856]

I replayed it 3 times. First I made the choices I wanted to make, second I made all bad choices, and third I made all the good choices.

[@TheKessi1000]

@@IDyce88 In the third game, Rios is alive. Obviously killing Jonah was the outcome.

[@Leader237]

They also could've pre-planned for situations like this. You would think they always plan for the worst, that way your not dissapointed.

I like that there's some fine details here. Like the player that clicks kill partner will be the actual one that shoots. So there's 2 versions of this. And if salem shoots he hesitates and is forced to dodge before he shoots the bad guy that tries to backstab him. While Rios just shoots him in the back of the head as soon as he disarmed the nukes. If one follows Devils cartel the canon seem to be Rios shooting Salem. The problem with this is it doesnt make any sense. If Salem still was alive? Why not help him? If you just assumed he's dead? i mean he's your friend would you not get his body out of there and have a funeral? Like wtf? you just leave him and then he wakes up.. becomes evil and swear revenge? It doesnt make any sense. Also when in the actual fuck has 1 pistol round brought down these guys? Like they walking tanks with armor. And i dont mean just from gameplay like in the first game in the timeskip trailer when they become PMC's you see them get shoot all the time and bullets just like bounce of them. So all vitals should be protected. I just feel the Devils cartel was so forced and it feels 40th day was made as the last game in mind that it would not go anywhere from here. Also the bad guy suck like not just evil oww he's bad.. i mean he's motivation are not shown and he's a fucking cartoon villaine at the point you find him. And then he makes this big claim oww you know nothing of sacrefice and you must do this and bla bla.. it makes no sense.. They act like they had this long big rivalry but they like strangers? overall tho I had a great time with both the first and second game. The third one was very mixed for me tho.
