How co-op works
Two online players share the full campaign, with either a planned partner or a second sniper called into an active mission. They can exchange ammunition and items, issue orders, heal each other, and coordinate routes and shots; Survival separately supports four players.
About this game
Set during Operation Overlord in 1944 France, this tactical shooter puts players in the boots of elite marksman Karl Fairburne as he hunts for intel on the secret Nazi Project Kraken. The entire campaign supports online co-op, letting two snipers coordinate ambushes, share intel, and provide cover across expansive sandbox levels filled with optional objectives and multiple infiltration routes.

Gameplay centers on patient reconnaissance, long-range ballistics with authentic bullet physics, and the series' signature X-ray kill cam that rewards precision. Teams can split up to flank enemy positions, synchronize takedowns, or tackle optional side missions together, creating organic moments of tension and teamwork.
Online co-op spans the full campaign with cross-platform matchmaking, while competitive modes pit players against each other in adversarial matches. Sessions demand constant communication to mark targets, call out patrols, and time shots without alerting the entire base, making voice chat practically essential for coordinated play.
