So, if you’re looking to tune in with your friends, here is everything you need to know about co-op in Wuthering Waves.

Can you play Wuthering Waves co-op? 

Yes, you can play Wuthering Waves in co-op, as the game supports co-op up to three players. Each player can pick one character and form a similar party composition as you’d do while playing solo. 

How to unlock co-op in Wuthering Waves

To play co-op in Wuthering Waves, you’ll have to reach Union Level 22 first. Most things in the game are locked at a certain Union level, like weekly bosses.

If you want to level up quickly, you can just complete main quests and side quests, and you should have no trouble reaching Union Level 22. Although not stressful, it’ll take a good amount of time before you reach there. 

How to play co-op in Wuthering Waves

In Wuthering Waves, you can matchmake directly for certain activities, as well as join your friend’s open world and explore together. Here is how to join your friend’s world:

• Click on the “Terminal” icon on the top-left of the screen, right above the ping.
• Then, click on “Friends.”
• There should be an “Apply to join” option available right next to their profile.
• Click on it and a co-op request will be sent.

It isn’t a full-fledged co-op that we generally see in other games and is more in line with Genshin Impact. You can only explore the world, play domains, collect resources, and beat enemies. The campaign in Wuthering Waves can only be played solo.

If you want to only matchmake for co-op-enabled activities like domains, just click on the said activity, and there should be a “Match” option.

Is there PvP multiplayer in Wuthering Waves?

No, Wuthering Waves does not feature a traditional multiplayer mode.

With it being a gacha game, where you can easily cough out money and get stronger than others, it isn’t surprising that Wuthering Waves does not feature PvP multiplayer.

It is also likely there won’t be any multiplayer modes where players will be directly competing with others with their characters. There is, however, a possibility that the game may add some other non-competitive PvP that does not involve characters or gacha-locked elements like TCG and Windtrace in Genshin Impact.

That’s everything about Wuthering Waves’ co-op and multiplayer. Check out all the world bosses that are waiting to be bodied by you and your friends. If you’re struggling, here are the best weapons to use, as well as a build guide for Jiyan, one of the strongest DPS in the game.
