Here's How to Play CO-OP in DuneCrawl Locally and Online With Friends

DuneCrawl offers a fun co-op experience, whether you prefer playing alone or teaming up with friends. The game is designed to let players explore, fight, and survive together without making things difficult for them.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how DuneCrawl COOP mode works, what to expect when playing with others, and how teamwork fits into the overall gameplay. We will also explain what DuneCrawl local co-op mode is all about, whether it's different from traditional matchmaking.

DuneCrawl Co-op Mode Explained

DuneCrawl is an open-world action-adventure game set on vast sandy seas. You travel across the dunes riding a massive crab armed with black powder cannons. You can play on your own as a solo Crab Keeper, or team up with up to three friends in both local and online co-op for the journey.

When you team up, co-op lets more people explore and fight together. It doesn’t change how the game works at its core. If you’re playing alone, the game helps you out with AI companions instead of real players, so you’re never completely on your own.

Players can work as a crew, taking different roles like piloting the crab, operating cannons, or exploring on foot, making it a true co-op experience where teamwork is essential for success against enemies and bosses.

How to Play DuneCrawl Co-op Mode Online?

These are the steps you must follow to play the DuneCrawl Co-op Online:

1. First, start DuneCrawl on your PC. The game is available on Steam, so ensure you’re running that version.
2. Once you’re at the main menu, go to the Settings section.
3. Look for an option called Online Settings.
4. Next, choose how you want to connect with other players.

How to Play DuneCrawl Local Co-op Mode?

DuneCrawl Local Co op mode refers to players competing alongside their friends locally. This refers to the LAN-only method we explained in the previous header. You and your friends can hop onto the same server, exploring sandy seas on the humongous Crab Crawlers together.

What Happens if a Player Disconnects in DuneCrawl Co-op Mode?

If someone gets disconnected, the game doesn’t stop. The rest of the group can keep playing as usual. Whether that player can jump back in later depends on how the session is set up and if the host is still available.

In DuneCrawl COOP mode online, everyone joins the same session and sticks together as the group moves through the world. Combat, exploration, and movement are all shared, which means whatever one player does can affect the entire team.
