How co-op works
After the opening quests, up to four online players can complete the entire adventure with shared progression for every participant. The squad scavenges, fights, revives one another, traverses by parkour or off-road vehicle, and coordinates Beast Mode bursts against infected and night pursuits.

The game centers on exploration, scavenging, and combat across unpredictable terrain where the infected have mutated into deadlier forms. Crane's awakening beastly abilities add a new layer of power and risk, changing how you approach encounters. Coordinating with teammates during nightfall or when facing overwhelming hordes creates intense, communication-heavy moments that reward tactical thinking.
Online co-op lets you team up with friends to survive the wilderness, share resources, and cover each other during high-stakes runs. Sessions demand constant callouts and split-second decisions, making every expedition feel like a shared test of endurance and teamwork.
