How many players can play Dead Rising 3 locally (couch co-op)?

Dead Rising 3 sadly does not support couch co-op.

 

How many players can play Dead Rising 3 via system link or LAN?

You must be connected to Xbox Live to play co-op.

 

How many players can play Dead Rising 3 online?

Two players are supported in Dead Rising 3's co-op mode.

 

How do you begin a co-op session in Dead Rising 3?

To join a co-op session you choose "online" from the main menu and pick which category of game you'd like to join based on your play style. To start a co-op session that's joinable, simply choose your play style as anything other than "Single Player" when creating a game. You can invite a friend anytime through the Xbox One interface.

 

How does save game progress work for co-op play in Dead Rising 3?

All progress is saved for both players - this includes experience, blueprints, collectibles, and combo vehicles. Mission progress will be saved on certain side missions and main missions if you've progressed through your own game to a similar spot in the story. Note - you'll still earn PP from completing the missions regardless.

 

Can I join a game if the host is further along than me in Dead Rising 3?

Yes, though the game seems to do its best to match you with someone not as far along.

 

What does the Dead Rising 3 season pass get you?

The Dead Rising 3 season pass is $30.

With the purchase of the Dead Rising 3 Season Pass, you'll receive the bonus "Nick Ramos Tribute Pack," which is similar to the Tribute Packs being offered in the Day One edition of the game. The "Nick Ramos Tribute Pack" allows you to taunt death in a custom muscle car designed for the hardened zombie killer and show off your survival scars with the battle-hardened Nick Ramos costume. Details of the DLC content packs are as follows:

  • Pack 1: "Dead Rising 3: Operation Broken Eagle"
  • Pack 2: "Dead Rising 3: Fallen Angel"
  • Pack 3: "Dead Rising 3: Chaos Rising"
  • Pack 4: "Dead Rising 3: The Last Agent"

 

How many co-op combo vehicles are there in Dead Rising 3?

We believe there are four co-op specific vehicles, though all vehicles can have a passenger on/in them.

Party Slapper
Recipe: Street Cleaner + Party Van
Co-Op: Driver and Gunner

Turret Rig
Recipe: Steamroller + Sedan
Co-Op: Driver and Gunner

Forkwork
Recipe: Forklift + Fireworks Van
Co-Op: Driver and Gunner

Shockdozer
Recipe: Ambulance + Bulldozer

Who does player two use in co-op? Is that player visible in cut-scenes?

Player two takes the role of Dick, the baseball cap wearing friend from the diner early in the game. He is not visible during the story's cut scenes in co-op.
