FAQ
- Why do players miss this unlock chain?
- Because they treat the systems as separate features instead of noticing the progression overlap that gates both.
- Should I do side content first?
- Only if that side content directly helps the unlock chain. Otherwise it usually delays co-op access more than it helps.
