How co-op works
Up to four local players control the Story Campaign’s antiheroes on one shared screen, combining firearms, melee weapons, executions, and character abilities while managing enemy crowds. Remote Play Together can carry that local session online; Arena Combat remains a solo mode.

Gameplay blends run-and-gun shooting with button-mashing melee combat, creating a mix of ranged firefights and close-quarters brutality. You'll switch between weapons on the fly, juggle combos, and improvise tactics as enemies swarm from every angle. Fighting together amplifies the chaos, as coordination and quick callouts help you control the battlefield and keep each other alive.
The game supports local couch co-op with split-screen and single-screen play, plus Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. Expect fast, arcade-style action that rewards teamwork under pressure, whether you're carving through story missions or chasing high scores in the arena's neverending onslaught.
