What each player can do here

P1 · Kait (JD in Act I)
  • The Skiff carries you between areas; stop and walk where it cannot go.
P2 · Jack or Del
  • A co-op partner can play Jack as a support seat.
  • Jack opens doors and works gate panels.

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
