‘XCOM 2’ Co-Op Mode Update: Mod Studio Dragonpunk Tweets About Progress On Project

XCOM 2 players anticipating the game’s first co-op mode mod will be happy to learn the modders running the project are already getting to work. The mod studio Dragonpunk has listed a co-op mode mod on their official site and are actively sharing updates about the process of importing it into the game on Twitter .

According to their Twitter account, Dragonpunk downloaded the 40GB XCOM 2 Dev Tools as soon as they became available on Feb. 5. The modders experienced an initial bug upon downloading the tools, but were able to get the programming running shortly after having these issues. Overall, Dragonpunk has been expressing a high degree of satisfaction with the easy-to-use mod tools..

As for the mod itself, here’s what XCOM 2 fans can expect from Dragonpunk’s co-op mode once it’s ready:

“Version 1 will add an additional button under the ‘Select Soldier’ button, ‘Invite Player’. This button will allow you to access your Steam friend's list and invite a friend of your choice to take ownership of that soldier on the upcoming mission. Once invited, your friend will control the soldier menu in order to outfit their controlled soldier. After the mission is complete, your friend will return to their own game along with any XP and loot they've earned from the mission.”
