How co-op works
Two online players share the main campaign as Nick and Dick with drop-in, drop-out access. They rescue survivors, split timed objectives, combine vehicles and weapons for crowd control, and retain experience and completed missions in their own saves; the four Untold Stories remain solo-only.
About this game
Dead Rising 3 drops players into Los Perdidos, a sprawling open-world city overrun by the undead. You have days to escape before a military strike obliterates everything, scavenging for supplies, crafting absurd combo weapons, and battling massive hordes in a co-op zombie sandbox.

The game thrives on improvisation and chaos. You can turn nearly any object into a weapon, combining items to create outrageous tools of destruction, while managing hunger, side missions, and survivor rescues. Playing with a partner adds unpredictable moments as you split up to cover more ground or team up to tackle psychopaths and crowd-control nightmares together.
Dead Rising 3 supports online co-op, letting a second player drop into your campaign to share the mayhem. Sessions lean into frantic coordination as you decide who grabs vehicles, who defends safehouses, and how to maximize the countdown clock before the city becomes a crater.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Dead Rising 3?
Dead Rising 3 supports online co-op where a second player can drop into your campaign. You can split up to cover more ground across the open-world city or team up to tackle psychopaths and massive zombie hordes together. Progress and decisions happen in the host's campaign.
Can I play the entire campaign in co-op?
Yes, the full campaign can be played cooperatively. Both players share the same countdown timer before the military strike, so you'll need to coordinate on missions, survivor rescues, and escaping Los Perdidos before time runs out.
Is there local split-screen co-op?
No, Dead Rising 3 only supports online co-op. You'll need separate copies of the game and an internet connection to play together.
Does weapon crafting work differently in co-op?
Weapon crafting works the same way in co-op as solo play-you can combine scavenged items into combo weapons. The main difference is deciding who takes which weapons and how you coordinate resources, since you're both scavenging from the same world.
