How co-op works
Up to four players share one camp locally or online, while as many as sixteen can access an online camp. Everyone contributes materials, builds and upgrades workshops, traps, and barricades, develops specialized survivors, completes quests, and defends the settlement during Kovac’s Challenges.

Gameplay revolves around gathering materials, crafting tools and gear, and fighting off waves of flesh-hungry zombies. The loop of explore, scavenge, craft, and defend keeps sessions tense and rewarding, especially when coordinating with teammates to cover more ground or hold the line during night attacks. Split-screen and shared-screen PvP modes add competitive variety to the survival formula.
Online co-op and split-screen support mean you can play locally or connect with distant friends. Sessions demand steady communication as you juggle resource management, base defense, and exploration, making every run a test of teamwork and improvisation under pressure.
