Playing With Friends in Remnant From the Ashes
Once you invite friends to Remnant From the Ashes, there are two ways they can enter. If you are in Ward 13, your friends will drop into the barracks with you. However, if you’re in the middle of a game when they join your world, they will remain in spectator mode until you reach a checkpoint.
The difficulty scales depending on how many friends are with you. So, the more people you have, the harder the game becomes to balance the challenge. Your friends will have full health and a host of resources to help, though.
Remnant From the Ashes is available to play for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
