How to Play 2-Player in Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6 does not have a traditional 2-player story co-op campaign. Each of the 4 campaigns (Leon, Chris, Jake, Ada) is single-player only (with AI partner). However, two multiplayer modes support 2-player co-op.

1. The Mercenaries (Co-op Score Attack)

• Unlock: Complete any one campaign.
• Players: 2 (local split-screen Xbox 360/PS3 only; online 2-player all platforms).
• Goal: Kill enemies, extend timer, hit 150 combo for max score.
• Characters: 8+ unlockable (Chris, Leon, Jake, Sherry, Ada, Piers, Helena, Carla, etc.) each with unique loadouts.
• Maps: 10+ (Urban Chaos, Catacombs, Mining the Depths, etc.). DLC adds more.

2. Agent Hunt (Asymmetric Invasion)

• Unlock: Complete all 3 main campaigns (Leon, Chris, Jake).
• Players: 1 "Host" (playing campaign) + 1–2 "Agents" (invading as enemies).
• Agent Role: Play as J'avo, Zombie, Dog, Strelat, etc. — unique movesets. Objective: Kill host.
• Host Role: Normal campaign, but human-controlled enemies. Can disable in options.
• Local: Not supported. Online only.

Split-Screen Note (Xbox 360 / PS3)

• Only The Mercenaries supports local split-screen (horizontal).
• Campaign, Agent Hunt, Versus — online only.
• Requires two controllers + two profiles (Guest OK for Mercenaries).

PC / PS4 / Xbox One / Switch

• No local split-screen at all. The Mercenaries is online-only co-op.
• Agent Hunt online only.

Summary: For couch co-op → Xbox 360/PS3 Mercenaries. For online co-op → Mercenaries (all platforms) or Agent Hunt (asymmetric). No story co-op exists.
