How to split the roles

When one of you plays more than the other: who takes which seat in Haven, and why.

P1 · For the more experienced player

Lead glider

The lead character chooses where to go.

P2 · For the newer player

Following glider, swapping the lead at stops

The follower helps clean the area; the lead can be exchanged each time you stop.

Skill-gap friendly · higher is easier

4out of 5

Partner revive, drop-in co-op and a lighter follower role.

Official help aimed at a weaker or newer player: assist or beginner mode, a support seat, a way to carry or rescue a partner, or a game built for young children. No sourced invulnerability.

Easy to coordinate · higher is easier

2out of 3 · Medium

Combat combines actions, and dialogue needs both players to agree.

Medium: regular hand-offs, timed moves together or shared decisions.

The roles Different jobs

While gliding, one player leads and the other follows; the lead can be swapped.

  • Lead glider Moderate

    Moderate seat: planning. Suits the more experienced player.

    Chooses where the pair goes.

    • Planning

  • Following glider Light

    Light seat: timing. Suits the newer player.

    Helps clean the area while following.

    • Timing

Help for the newer player

  • A second player can join locally at any time.
  • A downed hero can be helped back up by the other.

If one of you fails: If one hero is down, the other can help them stand up again.

Ways to split the work

  • Swap the lead whenever you stop.
  • Follower: help clean the area while the lead picks the route.
  • If a hero goes down, the other can help them up.
