How co-op works
Up to three online players can complete the full story campaign and every special mission. Each develops a persistent character with weapons, gear, implants, and abilities, then coordinates loadouts, positioning, and crowd control against mixed enemy groups and bosses.

The core loop mixes fast-paced gunplay with light RPG systems. You level up, unlock gear, equip body implants, and customize weapons as you push deeper into infested corridors. Teamwork matters during ambush waves and tougher boss encounters, especially when you coordinate loadouts to cover each other's weaknesses.
The game supports two-player online co-op on Windows and Mac. Sessions blend story missions and horde survival, creating extended runs that reward good communication and tactical positioning. It is built for friends who enjoy extended shooter campaigns with tangible progression between every deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we play the whole campaign in co-op or just certain modes?

Does teamwork actually matter or can we just shoot separately?
Teamwork makes a real difference, especially during ambush waves and boss fights. Coordinating loadouts to cover each other's weaknesses and using good tactical positioning will help you survive the tougher encounters.
