Quick Answer
Rope-linked co-op turns spacing into a shared resource. Enter narrow terrain with manageable slack, move in an agreed order, and stop before attempting a rescue. The official description explicitly warns that one falling player can drag the squad.
Team Callouts
- Set: everyone stabilizes.
- Move: the named player takes one controlled step.
- Hold: no corrective input unless required to prevent a fall.
- Recover: standing players brace before the fallen player crawls or rises.
- Reset: return to wider ground and rebuild spacing.
Use the multiplayer setup guide and walking controls before speed-focused routes. Return to the Friendly Steps hub.
