How it plays
A trio heads topside together, splitting loot, calling out machines and deciding whether to trust the other squads they meet.
Dying costs what you carried, so raids get tense and the run to extraction is often the best part.
Everyone needs a copy, crossplay connects PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and the hub between raids is where you craft and upgrade.
