Multiplayer & Co-op
The short answer matters more than roadmap speculation: the current PC release is built as a single-player operator experience. Online leaderboard and Discord features do not turn the campaign into multiplayer or co-op.
Current multiplayer status
The current Steam feature listing does not advertise online co-op, local co-op, PvP, or shared-campaign multiplayer. One player operates the map, calculator, loading system, turret, and mission decisions.
What the online leaderboard does
The official community has challenge and cumulative leaderboards linked through Discord. Players can compare scores, search other operators, and view mission or medal information after linking an account. These systems exchange score data; they do not place two players in the same NEST.
Is co-op announced for a future update?
Player requests and design ideas should not be treated as a release promise. No co-op mode is confirmed by the current Steam feature list. If the developers publish a dated roadmap or store-page update, this page will be revised.
Buying advice
Buy the current version for a deliberate single-player artillery simulation. If controlling different turret stations with friends is essential, wait until co-op appears explicitly in an official announcement and in the Steam feature list.
