Is Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader Multiplayer or co-op?

Jorge AguilarBy Updated:3 Mins Read Guides

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is heavy in its story element, just as many games in the series are, but the creators have gone even further. There have been rumors that the game is introducing a multiplayer element, and we’ve made sure to answer all the questions you may have below.

Will Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Have Co-Op or Multiplayer?

Yes, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader will have co-op that goes up to six players. This means players can team up with friends to explore the game’s world, complete missions, and battle enemies. They’ll also be able to share gear and play in the same world.

There is no other form of multiplayer in the game, according to a developer livestream. So if you have a similar platform to a friend, go ahead and try it. However, keep in mind that the developer has stated on Reddit that there will be no co-op on consoles initially.

Is There Friendly Fire in Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader?

Yes, there is friendly fire in Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader. This means that players must be careful when using area-of-effect attacks, as they could accidentally hurt their allies. It’s best to word in a coordinated style to minimize all friendly fire.

How Do Parties Work in Co-Op?

In co-op, one player will be designated as the Lord Captain. This player will be responsible for making major story decisions, while the other players will control their own characters. The Lord Captain can also assign specific story characters to the other players, together with control of the void ship that shuttles you about the game’s cosmos. You can also assign several characters to one player, essentially creating two smaller RPG parties at the same time.

Is Gear Shared in Co-Op?

Yes, gear is shared in co-op. This means that all players will have access to the same inventory of items. Each player can, however, manage his or her own gear and levelling-up separately.

How Many Players Can Play Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Co-Op?

Up to six players can play Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader co-op. You can have each player control as many characters as you’d like.

Is There PvP in Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader?

There is no PvP in Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader. The game is focused on cooperative play and not player against player.
