To unlock co-op in Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, you need to complete the first level of the game. This tutorial level introduces you to the basic mechanics and attacks, before the game truly kicks off after a batch of cutscenes.
Space Marine 2 makes it clear when co-op has been unlocked by informing you that the option to manage your squad is available. When playing single-player, the spots are filled by two NPCs, but this is the point where you can now invite friends to your game. To do so, follow these steps:
- Open the option to Edit Squad—either from the pause menu while during a mission, or by following the prompt in the top-right before a mission is selected.
- Open the Invite Menu.
- Take note of Your Invite Code and send it to friends.
- Alternatively, you can use the standard social functions on your console or to invite a friend to your game.
