Players must cooperate with others to kill Husks and complete various missions. One to four players cooperate towards a single goal that they both need to achieve in order to survive, and to win the mission. There are 4 main named locations that are unlocked by progressing through the campaign. The first is Stonewood, the weakest of the 4 areas. Next is the mid-level Plankerton, followed by the high Level Canny Valley, ending with the last location, and the hardest, Twine Peaks. There are many other locations as well, added with events. One such is Scurvy Shoals, a tropical themed area.
