How co-op works
Mandatory two-player online asymmetric co-op. The infiltrator operates inside the facility while the intel partner works elsewhere, with each using separate tools and solving linked puzzles. Both communicate by walkie-talkie because neither role can complete the heist alone.
About this game
United heist is an asymmetric puzzle game built entirely around two-player teamwork. One player takes the role of the infiltrator, navigating through dangerous environments filled with guards, lasers, and pressure plates. The other becomes the intel operator, monitoring cameras, hacking systems, and guiding their partner through each challenge. Both roles depend completely on each other to succeed.

Every heist is a communication puzzle. The operator sees information the infiltrator cannot, calling out threats and opening pathways at just the right moment. The infiltrator must trust their partner's guidance while executing precise jumps and careful timing. Mistakes are frequent early on, but learning to synchronize creates a satisfying rhythm that turns tense moments into smooth runs.
Designed exclusively for online co-op on Windows, United heist requires voice chat or quick text coordination to work well. Sessions feel like collaborative escape rooms, rewarding patient teams who enjoy solving spatial puzzles together and refining their approach until the plan clicks into place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play this solo or does it require a co-op partner?
United heist is designed exclusively for two players. You cannot play solo-the entire game is built around one person infiltrating while the other manages intel remotely. Both roles are essential to complete each heist.
Do both players need to own the game?
The listing shows United heist is free to play, so both players can download it at no cost. Since it's online co-op only, each person will need their own copy installed on Windows.
Is voice chat required or can we play without talking?
While the game doesn't technically force voice chat, United heist is heavily communication-dependent. The operator sees threats and information the infiltrator cannot, so coordinating through voice or quick text is essential. Most teams will find voice chat makes the experience much smoother.
How does the asymmetric gameplay actually work?
One player is the infiltrator who moves through levels filled with guards, lasers, and traps. The other is the operator who monitors cameras, hacks systems, and calls out dangers their partner can't see. You depend completely on each other-the operator guides while the infiltrator executes the plan with precise timing.
