    The Call for Backfup feature : Quick question

    I知 trying to do the Call for Backup feature with my nephew. He痴 a level 4, and I知 Gear Score 500. I知 trying to synchronize it so that I can join him and help him level as well as increasing my Shepard rank. Is this possible to do?

    Yes. He has to set his account shepherd call status to "friends and clan only" or something like that, and put out the call. You should be able to see it, and answer it.

    There is no guarantee that you will be able to answer the call before his group fills up. You could try matchmaking for call for backup when it's quiet, but it's just as likely that you'll end up in a random group.

    That won't do him any good as you cannot endorse someone in your clan or on your friends list.

    set your call for back up friends and clan only. get in a group then leave. when you load in tell him to call. answer it right away. repeat. you can not be in the same clan

    On a slightly different note, if a player puts out a call for back up, another player responds, then a few minutes later another player, then another moments later, is it only the person that put the call out that can endorse the other 3 players, or can the other players endorse each other?

    so.. say it better to be clearer..

    so you are saying.. player 1 calls for back up... player 2 responds.. then minutes later player 3 responds.. then again another player 4...
    so based on that.. player 2, 3 and 4 are all Shepherds.. and no they can not endorse eachother.

    Only the player who put the call for back up.. which in this case is player 1.
    But..
    if player 1 called for backup..and player 2 arrived.. and they still want more help.. and player 2..called for back up.. then the scenario changes.. i think. However.. I have never tried this or seen it.. it should mean player 2 can endorse all players that come after.. *shrugs*

    Yet you still understood it perfectly.

    Thank you anyway for confirming that.
