How it plays
The story is co-op on one screen onlyOne player does the fighting while the other plays the support character, Moira with a flashlight and crowbar or Natalia, who senses hidden enemies, a good role for someone new to shooters.
Raid Mode, a separate mode of short missions with loot and levels, works on one screen or online for two.
On PC, Remote Play Together lets a friend join the split-screen game without a copy.
