Are you looking for good co-op shooters with large game worlds? MeinMMO presents the top 5 co-op shooters with open world in 2021.
There are plenty of cooperative shooters. However, not many can claim to have expansive areas or an open world to explore together. That’s why we summarize the largest co-op shooters in our list.
Open World should be understood as a broad term in this case. The list includes games that offer a large sandbox game world, as well as shooters that are divided into hubs. Nevertheless, we consider these to be open world, as the areas are quite large.
The Division 2
What is it about? The Division 2 takes place in a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., the capital of the USA, after you were in New York in the predecessor. There is chaos after a lethal global pandemic. Hostile factions have taken control and you must restore order as agents of the Division. The campaign leads you through a large part of the city, which was heavily inspired by the real cityscape of Washington.
How is The Division 2 played? In the game, you are either solo or with up to 3 other players. The goal is to level up, collect better loot in the form of equipment, and at the same time save the city in a campaign.
The game is played in third-person perspective. It is a mix of RPG and tactical shooter with cover mechanics. You can choose from various weapon categories and there are different skills and gadgets like drones, motion radar, and turrets in the fight against your enemies.
The Division 2 additionally offers three Dark Zones. These are highly contaminated areas where you must fight both AI enemies and players to secure valuable loot. The Dark Zones provide a unique thrill.
You can’t just walk in and take loot out. Everything you find has to be airlifted out first. Other players can steal your loot in the meantime by taking you down or hijacking the recovery.
Co-op in The Division 2
How multiplayer works: All activities such as main missions, outposts, expeditions, the Dark Zones and open-world events can be approached either solo or with a group of up to 4 players. Raids allow even up to 8 players.
Besides the raids, there is a player search for each activity. Therefore, you are not limited to a fixed group but can play with anyone.
Open World in The Division 2
How is the game world structured? The game world of The Division 2 is open and quite large. A large part of Washington D.C. was recreated nearly to scale. So there is plenty of space for shootouts, looting, and finding secrets and Easter eggs. With the Warlords Of New York expansion, the game world was also expanded to include a part of Manhattan, offering even more to explore.
For whom is The Division 2 suitable?
This is the special appeal of the game: Besides the fun shooter gameplay, you can combine many different play styles, especially in a group. Snipers, frontline tanks, support – everyone finds their role. The looting aspect is particularly fun in the early hours.
