Join Multiplayer game mid-way?

[Mike]

So, can my friend join my Co-Op game later? When I re-host, it, I assume I can invite him, but, will we need to get equipment again, like the chainsaw? Or does he get that? What's sthe story?

Assuming it's the same save file, and he saved before logging out (thus saving his inventory and location in your game) it should work.
