Clearing the ship with co-op friends
You and up to two friends work through the same missions together, from story runs to survival and horde-style side jobs. One of you can hold a corridor with a shotgun while the other handles drones and dogs at range, then you swap loadouts and do it again. Coordination stays simple: join up, pick a mission, set difficulty and length where offered, and shoot. It is the kind of co-op where chatting matters more than tactics, and a wiped run just means a better gun next time.
Guns, gear and strange superpowers
The draw between missions is turning credits into a louder version of yourself. There are more than 30 upgradeable weapons, from pistols and shotguns to plasma guns, bows and swords, plus over 100 gear items and implants in sets from Regular to Mythical. Complete a set for special bonuses, slot in abilities like bullet time or a force field, and tune health, speed or melee damage. You drop into the next mission slightly overpowered, which is exactly the point.
Zombies, soldiers and very bad bosses
The colony ship packs maintenance rooms, labs and oxygen gardens with dark corners for ambushes. Expect zombies, soldiers, cyborgs, mutants, cannibals, mechanical dogs and drones, plus boss fights that soak up far more ammo than anything else. Special missions rotate the pressure with Biohazard, Survive, Lone Wolf and Infestation runs. The story is trashy sci-fi about a woken super-soldier, and easy to ignore while something with too many teeth runs at your face.
Good to know before you team up?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. The single-player missions can be played at your own pace, and side and wave missions work the same way. Co-op just adds partners to missions that are already complete alone.
Is there PvP as well as co-op?
Yes. Alongside cooperative play there is a PvP multiplayer mode, plus a Lone Wolf setup focused on fighting soldiers rather than zombies.
Is it comfortable to play in VR?
There are many comfort and accessibility options, though some players note continuous turning can still cause motion sickness. Experienced VR legs help, especially in fast close-quarters fights.
