Co‑op Play
Select a hero or team up in co‑op, allowing a second player to join on the same screen and progress together through the Gungeon’s floors while each maintains their own inventory, encountering identical room layouts.
Co‑op maintains the same enemy patterns and loot generation as solo runs, so each participant experiences the full challenge and can independently acquire weapons and items to strengthen their survival prospects through combined effort.
- Coordinate room clearing.
- Watch each other's health.
