  • CO-OP: team up with up to 3 friends in one shared arena, with the same waves and the same bosses

  • A special CO-OP button beside PLAY on the main menu

  • Host a lobby: choose 2 to 4 players, who can join (Public, Friends only or Private) and the run's mutators

  • Lobby browser: find open public co-op games, with search, a hide-full filter, player counts, mutators, status and ping

  • Lobby room: see who's in, pick your character, ready up and invite friends; the host starts the run and can remove players

  • Every co-op screen takes place in THE MASHED MUG, a tavern with a party board and Barkeep Buds behind the bar

  • In co-op everyone keeps their own character, starting weapon, upgrades and shop, while coins and XP are shared by the whole team

  • Crates in co-op belong to whoever walks over them and open in their shop

  • Downed players drift around as a ghost and get back up when the wave ends, and the run is over when the whole team is down

  • Between waves everyone readies up, and the next wave starts when the whole team is ready (or 90 seconds after the first player readies)

  • Teammates show their name and HP over their heads and in a team panel

  • After a co-op game over the host can take everyone back to the lobby for another run

  • Balance

  • The more players, the harder it gets: every extra player brings a whole extra horde, +25% enemy HP, +10% damage taken, much tougher bosses, an extra elite in every elite wave and weaker revives

  • The lobby room shows exactly what your team is in for before you start

  • Each player still earns about a solo run's coins and XP, and boss and golden potato rewards go to everyone in full

Known Issues

4 changes
  • Co-op is brand new and hasn't had a big online test yet, so expect some rough edges

  • You can't join a co-op run that has already started, and if the host leaves the game ends for everyone

  • Weapon fire rate is very slightly tied to frame rate

  • The Elite Hunter achievement description on the achievements page may still show the old text
