Plan the op with your squad
You and your co-op friends start each mission the same way: choose weapons and attachments, pack drones, grenades, tripwires, and mines, then pick the time of day. Go in after dark and you will want NVGs. One of you can scout with a drone while another lines up a long shot or moves through tall grass. Strike hard and fast or stay quiet, shoot out lights, and use shadows and multiple entry points to shape the approach.
Three regions to work through
The missions span three campaigns in distinct places: the frigid Bering Sea against an eco-terrorist operation, the South Pacific against organized crime, and Eastern Europe against an extremist uprising. Each mission sits in a large open area with dense foliage and vertical ground, so your team can split up, flank, and come at objectives from different angles. Early Access includes a 15-mission campaign across all three theaters.
Old-school look, careful shooting
The pixel graphics keep the look plain and retro, while the shooting stays deliberate. Bullets have weight, velocity, and trajectory, scopes adjust for distance, and grenades scatter fragments. That makes roles matter in co-op games: one friend spots and ranges, another carries a suppressed SMG for close angles, another brings an underbarrel shotgun for doors or a rifle for extreme range. Patience pays more than spraying.
Good to know before you team up?
Can you revive each other in co-op?
Yes. Full co-op multiplayer lets your squad coordinate and execute missions together, which keeps failed pushes recoverable when someone goes down and another teammate can bring them back.
How long is a mission?
Missions vary by approach and theater, with objectives spread across open ground. Expect walks between targets, scouting, and careful clearing rather than short rounds.
Does night change what you pack?
Yes. Time of day is picked before each op, and going in after dark makes night vision worth bringing. Lights, shadows, and tall grass all affect how easily you stay unseen.
