What each player can do here

P1 · Kait (JD in Act I)
  • Turrets and red barrels at the hangar do a lot of the work for you.
P2 · Jack or Del
  • A co-op partner can play Jack as a support seat.
  • New module: Hijack, which takes control of an enemy for a while.

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
