DLC and Co-op
Should every player own DLCs in co-op or only the host?

Crossbow seems added to the game now, I think you can give one to a non-DLC owner, they just won’t get them dropping themselves until they’ve completed the quest. "

" You do. My sister and I tried and I couldn't join without purchasing the DLC (but it was pretty cheap for another few hours of gameplay, so it was fine) "

With how most games handle DLC content I'm going to assume yes. Most games will specifically have the option of running content with or without the DLC to prevent the issue but for games that do not offer this typically all players must own the DLC to play together. It sucks, it's stupid, they should just do the former and allow for creation of non-DLC rooms.
