Co-op frustrations

[Grth]

I feel like I'm possibly missing something, but is it possible to:

- Drop or otherwise share tools? I managed to loot a saw and an axe, leaving my wife with no means to break down crates. Likewise, she ended up with all of the door opening tools (lockpicks, crowbar) - less of a problem because the keys count as an item, but still an issue.
- Split inventory stacks? Because breaking down a crate automatically puts the gathered materials in the inventory of the person who broke it down, I wound up with a stack of 10 planks and no way to share them.
- Loot items from a comatose player? I lapsed into a coma, and because my wife couldn't loot my stacks of wood or the adrenaline shot from my inventory, we both ended up dying an entirely preventable death.

Obviously, we can mitigate this a bit in future playthroughs by understanding the idiosyncrasies of the inventory system, but it's a very frustrating first experience to have been beaten by the interface, rather than the game.

Me and the hubby played a few co-op sessions and felt frustrated by these very same issues. It's ridiculous that the comatose player holds on to adrenaline that could be used to revive them. The means of survival are there, so why can't they be accessed like they would be in a realistic situation?

Otherwise this game would be a pretty fun co-op. It just feels broken because of this inventory issue.

This is outright ridiculous that you can't loot your friends.

Yeah, this issue is ridiculous in co-op. So many times where someone has died with the adrenaline on them...
Seeing as you have magic pockets between all characters in single player, why don't you have this in co-op? It makes the game ridiculously much harder than single player.

yeah... I want to share my tools with my firends :(
@dev : why not just display the tools in the inventory ? so we can drop them. Or enable an option in co-op to have a shared inventory, like in single player. This inventory limitation is hurting a lot of potential enjoyment

The game will be too easy if they make a "share tool" feature working and i don't really think that anyone is still working on this game

Who wants to play co-op? add me

In what way would the game be too easy? The share tool ability is already in use in singleplayer (which by the way also has the option of a lower difficulty).

sadly those co-op frustrations are still there :(

God, yeah. We had a silly situation just now where my friend with our only adrenaline was knocked out, and I had no way of taking it from his pocket and using it on him. Whyyy.

Having shared inventory in co-op would fix all of this.

Please, let us share inventory ! It's an horror to see the other one die with the seringe in hand , or the food or the pills !
Please, this issue ruins all coop-fun.

Or get incapped by one of the orange lava guys while holding the only gun.

Same here. I consider the coop broken. Me and my friend just bought the game. We divided the loot based on our skills, so I have all the utility items. I also have all the adrenaline, because you can't split items.

I died instantly touching an alien fragment. My friend can't revive me because A) they can't loot my adrenaline, and B) I have all the items that could warm a room. And all the doors they find are locked, and I have the tools that can open them, and the keys.

Our run just got literally destroyed, all because we can't split items up and we can't loot a comatose player.

This is ridiculous, and completely unplayable. We are giving up. These mechanics should have been implemented from the start. We divided up the loot -because- of what the game told us our characters were good at. And it screwed us in the end, all because of an automatic death from an alien object. Just terrible.
