Dead Rising 4: getting started with Multiplayer mode - guide. Unlike previous games, Dead Rising 4 features a Multiplayer mode that is separate from the main story campaign. The co-op mode is available directly from the main menu as a standalone feature.
In the game, you can choose from four pre-defined characters, each with unique combat abilities, or select a randomly designed hero.
All progression in the online mode—such as crafted weaponry, discovered projects, and acquired skill points—remains linked exclusively to your multiplayer character and cannot be transferred to the single-player campaign.
When starting an online session, you can join up to three other players or play solo. However, playing alone increases the challenge significantly, as you must face large groups of infected creatures without tactical support.
The multiplayer experience features a short narrative divided into four episodes. The core objective is simple: survive among the infected and complete goals within a strict time limit, blending survival and horde-mode mechanics.
The action takes place inside a large shopping mall in Willamette, mirroring the setting of the original Dead Rising. Just like in the campaign, the map is open and fully explorable, offering hundreds of items and weapons to find. Between main objectives, you will complete secondary goals, such as defeating a specific number of creatures and uncovering designated areas on the map.
Missions generally follow a point-A-to-point-B structure similar to single-player tasks, but with the added benefit of cooperating with other players and assisting them in critical situations.
The mode includes a robust RPG-style skill tree where your character can spend points to unlock new combat capabilities, increase vitality, and improve passive attributes.
Completing missions earns you gold coins, which can be used to purchase snacks and armaments from vending machines located in safe zones. Keep in mind that, as in the campaign, weapons degrade quickly after frequent use.
At the end of each round—which concludes when the main objective is met or the timer runs out—you can compare your score with other players to see who defeated the most creatures and survived with the fewest deaths. This adds a competitive element that encourages cautious exploration across the open map.
