How co-op works
After Call the Cavalry, up to three online players share story mode. Mission completion, items, stats, and achievements save for host and clients, but nobody can join a host farther ahead; complementary Skill Card builds and elemental weapons create combat synergies.

The core loop centers on weapon crafting, dismemberment physics, and evolving your slayer skills as you carve through hordes. Working with others amplifies the chaos in the best way, whether you're coordinating elemental combos, reviving downed teammates, or just watching each other's backs in tight corridors.
Online co-op lets you bring friends into the campaign, turning what could be a lonely apocalypse into a shared grind for better gear and answers. Sessions demand constant communication when the swarms close in, making every encounter a test of how well your team can adapt under pressure.
