How co-op works
Up to four online players lead one persistent mercenary band across the open world, sharing money, loot, resources, camp supplies, contracts, and discoveries. Partners plan routes and party development together, then coordinate positioning, turn order, abilities, armor, injuries, and captures in tactical battles.

You'll manage your mercenary roster, negotiate for bounties, craft equipment, and engage in grid-based battles that demand smart positioning and resource management. Every choice affects morale, supplies, and reputation, creating a layered sandbox where cooperation amplifies both the planning and the tension.
Online co-op enables two commanders to share the campaign, making every skirmish and long-term decision a joint effort. The open-ended structure and persistent world encourage communication-heavy teamwork as you explore, recruit new companions, and carve out your place in a land scarred by plague and conflict.
