Is Coop Campaign in Space Marine 2 Possible? Answered

As a seasoned Warhammer 40k Space Marine veteran with battle-scarred fingers and eyes that gleam with the fervor of a thousand suns, I can confidently say that the early access release of Space Marine 2 has me gripped by its claws. The sheer number of players storming the digital battlefield at once is nothing short of awe-inspiring, like a swarm of Orks descending upon an Imperial outpost.


As an ardent fan, I can’t contain my excitement over Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2, even with a few technical hiccups. The official launch is just around the corner on Monday, but the early access version has already drawn in over 100,000 players simultaneously on Steam (as per SteamDB). Naturally, it’s the die-hard fans who are leading the charge so far, with many more potential enthusiasts considering a purchase and asking questions. Questions like: Does it support HDR? Will it be part of Game Pass? Can I play it on Ultrawide resolutions? Is Steam Deck compatible? And so forth. In this guide, let’s delve into the coop campaign in Space Marine 2.

Coop Campaign in Space Marine 2 Explained

In Space Marine 2, a cooperative campaign is indeed an option. But before that, you need to finish the initial short adventure, which serves as a tutorial and typically lasts around 30 minutes. Once completed, you’ll gain access to a central hub, a large spaceship, from where you can select missions. At this juncture, you can invite your friends by using a code or entering their password to join them. Instructions for multiplayer are located in the upper right corner of the screen. If you’re using a mouse and keyboard, simply press ‘Y’ to open the multiplayer menu.

If you prefer to play the campaign on your own, that’s perfectly fine! Although missions are usually played as teams of three, you’ll still have bot companions to help you out. These AI-controlled allies may not possess the same abilities as human players, but they can revive you when needed and often serve as a useful distraction for enemies. On easier settings, the fights should be manageable. However, on higher difficulty levels such as Veteran, the gap in abilities becomes more pronounced, and bots might not offer as much assistance.

Indeed, given that we’ve just released early access yesterday, there might be some challenges when trying to play the campaign together with your friends, thanks to server problems. But hang in there and best of luck!
