Once you have the Longhouse, follow these steps to start playing co-op:

  1. Go to the Longhouse and open the Options menu
  2. Select “Cooperate”

You can then decide whether to:

  • Join a public session with random players

Inviting Friends

To play co-op with friends, select the “Recruit” option. You’ll be able to set a password and difficulty level. 

Share this password with your friends, ensure they set the same difficulty, and they can then join your session through the “Choose/Invite Allies” menu.

Important Note: Online multiplayer is restricted to specific missions only. You cannot freely explore the open world together.
