How co-op works
Two online players share the complete campaign and command the same ranger squad. They coordinate character builds, equipment, positioning, and targets in tactical turn-based combat, while dialogue and faction decisions alter the world and available missions for both.
About this game
Set in a frozen Colorado wasteland, Wasteland 3 delivers a story-driven tactical RPG where choice and consequence shape every mission. This is true co-op, allowing two players to explore and make decisions together online, though each ranger can also split off to tackle separate objectives or negotiate with different factions simultaneously.

Players build custom squads, engage in turn-based tactical combat, and navigate branching dialogue trees where moral decisions carry weight. The co-op layer adds tension: you and your partner might disagree on which faction to support or how to resolve a conflict, and the game allows both rangers to act independently, creating unexpected story outcomes and requiring constant communication.
Wasteland 3 supports online co-op with cross-platform multiplayer across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Sessions demand coordination and discussion as players balance resource management, squad composition, and narrative choices that ripple through the campaign, making every playthrough feel like a shared story you write together.
