How it plays
A friend can join for the story, outposts and the Expeditions, short raids on locations outside the main map.
Two players can split up to scavenge or storm a base together, and the open world leaves room for detours and vehicle chaos.
Each player needs a copy, and there is no split-screen or crossplay.
The PS4 and Xbox One versions play on current consoles.
