How co-op works
Three-player online fireteams fight through campaign missions against Xenomorph hordes. Players coordinate class composition, weapons, consumables, and upgrade grids to cover lanes and threats, while optional Challenge Cards alter mission rules and force the squad to adjust its shared plan.

Players choose from distinct classes, customize loadouts, and level up their characters while battling through story-driven campaigns. The progression loop rewards teamwork with new weapons, perks, and abilities that complement different squad roles. Covering angles, managing ammo, and calling out threats become second nature as the horde closes in.
Online co-op for up to three players is the core mode, with cross-platform multiplayer support bringing squads together regardless of their gaming setup. Sessions blend run-based intensity with persistent character growth, making every mission feel like a high-stakes operation where communication and coordination determine survival.
