How co-op works
Up to four online players can complete the campaign with drop-in, drop-out support. They scavenge weapon parts, trade loot, and coordinate character builds; siege missions add shared tasks such as placing barricades, strengthening NPC survivors, and repairing defenses during zombie waves.

Melee combat drives the action as players craft and upgrade improvised weapons that degrade with use. Teams scavenge for supplies, fortify safe zones, and coordinate during intense fights where revival timing and shared resources matter. RPG progression, weapon customization, and environmental hazards create friction that rewards groups who communicate and divide tasks effectively.
Online co-op sessions are flexible, with progression carrying between solo and multiplayer modes. The tropical environments range from beaches to flooded villages, each presenting different combat challenges. Coordinated groups handle supply runs and holdout scenarios more smoothly, making teamwork essential for surviving the toughest encounters.
