How co-op works
Up to four players run one criminal operation online, dividing drug production, deliveries, property setup, and combat with police or cartels. The business expands through suppliers, recipes, employees, and dealers until production and distribution chains can be automated; the game remains in Early Access.

The core loop revolves around production, logistics, and expansion. You'll set up manufacturing sites, manage supply chains, recruit employees, and invest in properties and front businesses to launder your profits.

Online co-op mode supports coordinated play, letting teammates manage different parts of the operation or pool resources to expand faster.
