How to play Far Cry 6 co-op multiplayer mode
To activate co-op mode in Far Cry 6, open up any of the menu screens and click the co-op button in the top-right corner (the icon with the two silhouettes). From here, you can select one of three co-op mode options:
Once you’ve matched with a partner, you’ll both be entered into theFar Cry 6 maptogether where you’ll be free to do whatever activities you like, from main story quests to side activities or just exploring Yara and slaughtering vast swathes of enemies together.
Note: there is no option to play locally or in splitscreen in Far Cry 6, and the game’s co-op mode only supports a maximum of 2 players. So if you’re looking to tear down Anton’s regime with a team of 4 heavily armed Guerrillas, unfortunately you’re going to be disappointed with the 2-player restriction.
Far Cry 6 co-op Special Operations
To start playing Special Operations in Far Cry 6,you’ll need to have reached at least one of the three main Guerrilla campsin the three main territories of Yara: Montero Farm (Madraguda), Camp Maximas (Valle De Oro), or Patriots Peak (El Este). At each of these locations you can find Lola, an NPC who you can talk to in order to embark on a Special Operation.
When selecting a Special Operation, you can either select Quick Play, which will match you with a random partner on a random mission, or you can select the mission yourself and then in the next screen choose either to play the mission in singleplayer or to invite a partner from your friends list to join you. As with the main co-op mode, you can only invite a single partner; you can’t go round in larger teams of 3 or more.
