How to Unlock and Play Co-op in Dying Light: The Beast – Complete Multiplayer Guide

One of the most exciting aspects of Dying Light: The Beast is the ability to team up with friends and take on the zombie apocalypse together. However, unlike many other survival games, co-op isn’t unlocked right away. You’ll need to progress through a few story missions before you can access multiplayer features.

If you’re wondering how to unlock and play co-op in Dying Light: The Beast, this guide covers everything you need to know — from enabling multiplayer to inviting friends to your lobby.

How to Unlock Co-op in Dying Light: The Beast

Techland has made co-op progression smoother in this latest installment, thanks to shared campaign progression, meaning your entire squad moves forward together regardless of who is hosting the lobby.

To unlock co-op mode, follow these steps:

1. Start a new campaign in Dying Light: The Beast.

2. Complete the first two main story quests.

3. After finishing the second mission, Safe Haven, co-op will become available.

Once unlocked, you’ll also gain access to useful features like:

• Docket Codes
• Stash storage
• Resting areas

How to Invite Friends to Your Co-op Lobby

After unlocking multiplayer, you can finally bring your friends into your adventure. Keep in mind: cross-platform co-op is not supported, so you and your friends must be playing on the same platform (PC to PC, console to console).

Here’s how to invite friends to your co-op lobby:

1. Complete the Safe Haven mission.

2. Open the main menu and go to the Co-op option.

3. Access the party menu, then press F (or the equivalent button on your controller) to expand the Friends list.

4. Select your friend and send an invite.

5. Once they accept, they’ll instantly spawn into your world.

Unlocking and setting up co-op in Dying Light: The Beast is quick and straightforward, but it does require finishing the early missions. Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the full multiplayer experience — surviving, looting, and battling the infected with your friends by your side.

If you’re looking for a fun and challenging survival experience, co-op makes Dying Light: The Beast even more rewarding.
