Plan your next The Expendabros session
Our independent guide breaks down The Expendabros into actionable insights, helping both newcomers and seasoned players extract maximum fun from its chaotic combat and cooperative features. By focusing on core mechanics, character choices, and platform utilities, you’ll learn how to tailor each session to your playstyle.
01 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Mastery
Pick one soldier and complete a mission using only their primary weapon. Note damage output and survivability, then compare results with a soldier using a different weapon type.
- Focus on chaining explosions to clear groups of enemies quickly.
- Use the environment’s hazards, like saws, to your advantage when enemies approach.
02 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Coordination
Team up with three friends, assigning each a distinct soldier. Track how often combined special attacks trigger chain reactions versus solo attacks.
- Communicate with teammates to cover each other’s blind spots.
- Assign different soldiers to diversify weapon types within the team.
03 / THE GUIDE
Environmental Exploits
Identify destructible objects in a lumber‑mill level and deliberately trigger them to create area‑of‑effect damage. Record how many enemies are eliminated per explosion.
- Experiment with each soldier to find the weapon set that matches your preferred combat style.
- Combine characters whose special attacks complement each other for synergistic effects.
04 / THE GUIDE
Remote Play Optimization
Stream the game to a tablet and play with a friend via Remote Play Together. Observe latency and adjust network settings for smoother co‑op performance.
- Watch for destructible objects that can be turned into weapons against enemies.
- Stay aware of your position relative to saws to avoid accidental damage.
05 / THE GUIDE
Platform Feature Comparison
Run the same mission on Windows and macOS, noting any differences in controller responsiveness or remote‑play stability, then choose the platform that feels most reliable.
- Use Remote Play on a tablet for a flexible couch‑co‑op setup.
- Enable Family Sharing to let multiple accounts access the game without repurchasing.
