Dying Light The Beast might be better played alone, but the campaign has full co-op support if you wish to play with friends.
While everyone plays as Kyle Crane in the new adventure, having more of them on the same mission can make things easier for all. The game supports up to 4-player co-op, although the absence of crossplay is slightly disappointing.
Nevertheless, you can easily set up a lobby with your friends after unlocking co-op.

How to unlock co-op in Dying Light The Beast
When you're just starting the game, the option to create a co-op lobby remains locked. You'll get the chance to play with friends after completing Safe Haven. This is the second quest of the campaign, and it took me slightly over an hour.
Completing the Safe Haven mission has more benefits, as you can redeem docket codes, have a safe place to sleep, and manage your stash. Docket codes are a great way to unlock new rewards.
How to create a co-op lobby in Dying Light The Beast
Once you have unlocked the ability to play co-op, complete the following steps.
- Pause the game and go to the menu.
- Select Co-Op
- Under Co-Op, you can form your party. Press F to select the friends you want to play with. You can do the same by clicking on the empty lobby spot and then choosing your friends.
- Needless to say, you'll have to add your friends to Steam/Epic first. Once they accept the invite, you can play together in the same lobby.
- You can do the same from the main menu and customize the settings for co-op separately.
If you don't have enough members in your lobby, you can always use the Call for Help feature. This feature allows other players to drop in and help your team in a campaign. Similarly, you can do the same if someone else has made a call for help. Additionally, Call for Help works with private lobbies since others will be able to find your lobby when you ask for help.
