Players must cooperate with others to kill Husks and complete various missions. Four players cooperate towards a single goal that they both need to achieve in order to survive, and succeed the mission. There are 4 main named locations that you unlock by progressing through the campaign. The first of which is Stonewood, the weakest of the 4 areas. Next is the mid level Plankerton, followed by the high end Canny Valley, ending with the last location, and the hardest, Twine Peaks. There are multiple other locations as well, added with events. One such is Scurvy Shoals, a tropical themed area.
