Important Things to Note When Playing Co-op

For a smooth multiplayer session, pay attention to these points:

1. Session Player Limit:
   • A maximum of 4 players can join a single lobby, in both the demo and Early Access versions.
2. Game Version Compatibility:
   • Ensure all players are using the same game version (either demo or Early Access). If versions differ, the connection might fail.
3. Resource Sharing:
   • Wallet Money: Cannot be shared with other players.
   • ATM/Bank Money: The balance in the bank will be automatically shared among all lobby members.
   • Inventory Items: Store items in the in-game storage so they can be accessed together.
4. Inviting Friends Mid-Game:
   • If you want to add a player after the session has started:
     • Pause the game.
     • Open the lobby menu and repeat the friend invitation steps.
   • Note: This feature’s functionality might differ between the demo and Early Access versions.
5. Host Controls (Lobby Owner):
   • Only the host can:
     • Use console commands.
     • Save game progress.
   • Ensure the host doesn’t leave the game to prevent the session from disconnecting.

Additional Tips for an Optimal Co-op Experience

• Communicate with Friends:
  • Use voice chat applications like Discord for easier coordination.
• Prepare a Strategy:
  • Divide tasks (e.g., one player focuses on farming money, others upgrade weapons).
• Backup Data Regularly:
  • Ask the host to save the game progress manually to avoid data loss.

What Can You Do in Co-op Mode?

• Explore the map together to find secret locations.
• Gather resources more quickly by dividing tasks.
• Face enemies or bosses as a team for a greater chance of success.

Common Issues and Solutions

• Invitation Fails to Send:
  • Ensure the friend’s Steam ID is correct and their game is open.
• Connection Lag:
  • The host should ideally use a stable internet connection.
• Items Lost:
  • Store items in the shared storage before exiting the game.
