Dying Light The Beast How to Play Co Op Guide
Co op in Dying Light: The Beast lets up to four players jump into the campaign together. Everyone plays as Kyle Crane, and all progress is shared between the group. Unlocking co op is quick, but you’ll need to clear one early mission before opening a lobby.
How to Unlock Co Op
You can start co op after finishing the second story quest, Safe Haven. This mission also unlocks access to your stash, a safe zone, and sleeping spots. On Story difficulty, it takes less than an hour to reach this point, even with cutscenes and exploration.
How to Start a Co Op Lobby
Once Safe Haven is complete, you can invite friends straight from your game or from the title screen.
Steps:
Finish the mission Safe Haven
Press ESC and select Co Op from the menu
Under Party, press F to invite friends from Steam or Epic lists
They join your session once they accept
Any friend can host, and everyone keeps the campaign progress earned in the session.
Co Op Features and Options
The game supports four players at once. If you don’t fill the party, you can enable Call for Help, which allows other players to drop into your session. This is useful when things get rough and you want backup fast.
You can also volunteer to help others by enabling the Search and Rescue setting in Online Options. This lets you drop into other players’ games when they send requests.
Crossplay in Dying Light The Beast
The game does not support crossplay between PC and consoles. However, Steam and Epic players can link accounts to play together. Log into both platforms in the Online Options menu to see friends across launchers.
Final Blurb
Dying Light: The Beast makes playing co op easy once you finish Safe Haven. Up to four players can share the same campaign, use Call for Help for random allies, or team up with friends through Steam or Epic. No matter who hosts, every Kyle Crane keeps their progress.
