I’m excited to announce that the MOTHERGUNfriendSHIP Update for MOTHERGUNSHIP is now LIVE! As the name might imply, this update adds the ability to play with a friend to Mothergunship. Thank you for all the folks who helped us with this by jumping into earlier Alpha branches. Your feedback and insight was massively helpful.
So dive into the action with your favorite buddy: show them your most ridiculous creations, argue with them about who should get which gun parts from the store and enjoy taking down the Mothergunship..uh..together!
COOP is available once you have gotten access to your Headquarters (so, after the intro/tutorial) and from there you can enter the door in your Headquarters labeled “Portal”, where you can invite a friend into your progression through the game. Together you can fight through the entire rest of the campaign, all the side missions, as well as Endless and Sandbox modes. Feel free to also tackle the Endgame Campaign, which has been tuned quite a bit in response to player feedback.
