It's finally here. And by "it" we of course mean the highly-anticipated co-op update for the Far Cry 4 Map Editor. With the latest update, all of those awesome maps you've been playing and creating can be played in either single-player or with a friend. It's a gamechanger to be sure, and we know it's something fans have been asking for.
Below you will find answers to a few of the most common questions, as well as complete patch notes for this update:
Co-Op Map Editor FAQ's
