Far Cry 6 Co-op Guide: How To Play With Your Friends - GINX Esports TV

Far Cry 6, the sixth main instalment in the Far Cry series, is a mix of good and bad things from the previous Far Cry games. It offers a large open world filled with challenges, rewards, special weapons, secrets, lore and, of course, military camps and establishments under Antón Castillo’s regime that are fun to take over, especially with a plus one.

Similar to previous Far Cry games, Far Cry 6 offers a co-op multiplayer feature where players can form a party with their friends or a random player and work together to take on enemy camps, missions, challenges and other activities.

Unfortunately, the game fails to explain how exactly players can unlock, join, or host co-op games.

Because of that that, we have prepared a handy guide that talks about how to unlock co-op in Far Cry 6 whilst sharing details on co-op progression and hosting co-op games.

How to unlock co-op

To unlock co-op in Far Cry 6, players have to progress the game till Du or Die quest. Once that is done, players get a message tab that says “Overcoming the regime.”

Close the tab, and look on the right side of the game screen. You can see a message saying, “Co-op is now available! Play with a friend or search for a partner to earn more rewards.”

After that, players can click on the co-op icon to open the multiplayer menu. There they get three options –

• Play with a friend – Fight the regime with a friend

• Search for a partner – Find a co-op partner to help you fight against the regime.

• Be a partner – Receive offers to join another co-op player’s fight against the regime.

Depending on your requirement, select the option to begin your Far Cry 6 co-op journey.

Do players retain co-op progress?

Similar to Far Cry 5, only the host can retain the game progress. While being in co-op, the partner will not retain any story or side mission progress. However, they will keep rewards like the money they earn and a few other things.

How to host a co-op game

To host a co-op game in Far Cry 6, select the “Play with a friend” option.

Also, make sure you have selected the party privacy as “Open to friends” under co-op found in the game settings -> gameplay.

With friends only enabled, both friends and invited players can join your game in supported game modes.
