Yes, you can play co-op in Way of the Hunter!
As an avid gamer and creator excited about the latest titles, I‘m thrilled to share that the new hunting game Way of the Hunter does fully support online co-op multiplayer. You can team up with up to 3 other players to cooperatively roam the wildlife-rich environments and take down your prey.
Here‘s a closer look at how the Way of the Hunter co-op works
Way of the Hunter‘s co-op mode allows groups of 2-4 players to hunt together on private servers or public matchmaking. Everything you do in multiplayer gets carried back to your own single player campaign – like exploring new areas, unlocking fast travel points, earning cash and XP, etc.
So playing co-op can really enhance your solo experience too. My squad had a blast teaming up to take down that elusive 5-star stag roaming Evergreen Ridge last weekend!
According to multiple gaming sites like ShackNews and RoundTableCoop, here‘s exactly how the co-op works:
- Host your own private server or find public servers via matchmaking
- Have up to 4 players including host in each session
- Seamlessly jump into hunting together as a squad
- Explore environments and hunt prey cooperatively
- Unlocks like fast travel spots carry back to your solo campaign
- Earn cash and XP to grow your personal Lodge & collection
So in summary, the co-op enables shared progression whether playing alone or with friends. And that‘s fantastic!
Inviting friends to join your private co-op session
Playing with friends is way more fun than random public matches in my opinion.
Luckily, Way of the Hunter makes it simple to invite your buddies to join you. According to gaming site OSGamers, here‘s the process:
- Host a multiplayer session from Lodge menu
- Click the "Invite" button
- Enter your friend‘s username to send invite
- They‘ll get a notification to join hunt!
Once the invite is sent successfully, your friend just has to accept it and they‘ll join your session. Rinse and repeat to gather your full 4 player squad!
Of course you‘ll want to coordinate over voice chat for the best experience. Nothing beats the thrill of cooperatively tracking a majestic moose through the forests of Crown Peak with your best gamer pals!
Top tips for an amazing co-op experience
Drawing from my extensive experience gaming online with friends, here are my top 5 tips for having an incredible cooperative experience in Way of the Hunter:
- Use voice chat – Communication is key, so stay quiet and use mics to coordinate tactics.
- Complement weapon choices – Vary your loadouts instead of doubling up to maximize hunting versatility.
- Flank prey – Approach animals from multiple angles to increase takedown chances.
- Share unlocks – Help each other by sharing new area discoveries and fast travel access.
- Revive teammates – If a mate goes down, get them back up quickly to avoid failing hunts.
Follow those co-op commandments for good times! And remember above all else to have fun out there. Happy hunting!
