What each player can do here

P1 · JD
  • A short chapter: the training range, components for Jack, and the walk to Jinn's office.
P2 · Jack or Del
  • A co-op partner can play Jack as a support seat.
  • New module: Flash, which stuns several enemies at once.

If your skill levels differ: Uneven pair: the newer player can take Jack, the support robot (scans, fetches, opens doors and revives), while the steadier shot takes a soldier seat and carries the gunfights. How to split the roles
