Hello Runners! ????
We are thrilled to announce that the long awaited co-op mode is now available on the public beta branch of Expeditions. Embark up to 4 players into off-road explorations! ⛺
To access the public beta branch, please refer to this Steam news: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2477340/view/6292166527277263125
The co-op mode includes the following features (more features will be added in the future as the development progresses):
New Game set-up tools:
- The host is able to set a parameter to allow / forbid / ask for confirmation before a trade is done between players
Available Features:
- DLCs are compatible: if host and guests have different DLCs, they are still able to play together.
- DLC content owned by the host is available to guests as long as the host deploys them on the map (DLC trucks, DLC specialists, etc).
- Mods are compatible and/or warn players if different mods may cause instability.
- Gameplay is balanced around co-op. For instance, all airdrops on all maps have double-amount of loot.
Others:
- All players are able to see map exploration.
- All players are able to complete objectives and make the quest progress.
- All players are able to receive the rewards for completed expeditions and quests.
- All players are able to interact with built base modules, but only host can build/sell modules.
- All players are able to interact with each other through collision and using the winch.
- All players are able to interact with treasures (amethyst rocks in the Kanab Creek region).
- Players are allowed to travel to a different map in the same region without ending the multiplayer session. Two players in the same session are allowed to be on different maps.
- Restoring progress after a reconnect is allowed: in cases of connection loss, the player can load back into the game session (within a 5 minutes period), bypassing the expedition preparations.
Don't hesitate to give us feedback here or on our Discord server (#pbb-feedback) so we can improve the co-op mode.
