Before Far Cry 4 launched, there was a bit of a minor uproar when it turned out that custom maps in the game would not support co-op play; Ubisoft promised us that support for co-op on custom maps would be coming in a future update, and they have made good on that promise. The latest update for Far Cry 4, version 1.8.0, which is now available, finally adds the long requested and awaited feature to the game.
It’s actually a fairly extensive update. The full list of changes and fixes that it brings with it to the table is given below:
Co-Op Map Editor FAQ’s
- All maps will be playable in co-op and in single player mode.
- Map creators will be able to place two spawn points: The first one will spawn Player One, while the second one will spawn Player Two.
- If only player spawn point is present on the map, both players will spawn at the same location.
- In the Quick Play menu you can quickplay top rated maps, random maps, and host a co-op game.
