The new Whispering Mist season finally brought the co-op multiplayer mode that players have been asking for since Torchlight: Infinite launched last year. But don’t get too excited, because the co-op mode isn’t as well-developed as fans had expected.

You can invite a friend to join your team in Torchlight: Infinite multiplayer. You can play together and not only help each other overcome the dangers as you progress through the levels and explore the Netherrealm, but you also receive an XP bonus, a drop bonus, and an enemy bonus. When you're on a team, you'll receive more XP from kills and more drops from enemies you kill, but those enemies will gain more lives because they take more damage from the new team member.

There are three distribution modes within a team in Torchlight: Infinite to distribute loot fairly. Team distribution assigns loot to one of the team members, but if it is left on the ground for two minutes, the item is reassigned to the other team member. System distribution works the same as team distribution, except for the two-minute timer. You can also use the free distribution mode, which allows anyone on the team to grab any item from the ground.

Another new feature coming with the new season is the ability to gift items to friends. They don’t have to be on your team to receive gifts, all you have to do is add them to your friends list, click on their icon and select “Gift”. You can send any non-stackable item, such as armor, weapons, jewelry and even spells.
