The leader of the reformed Coalition of Ordered Governments, First Minister Jinn (Angel Desai), commemorates the 25th anniversary of humanity’s victory over the Locust. Like previous entries in the series, the story campaign can be played through co-operatively with a second player in a local or online co-operative mode. The game features 4 categories of weather: from heavy breeze (trees, leaves, dust kicking up) and can grow into violent category 3 windstorms that can affect combat and weapon usage. Players can also perform a short distance shoulder charge, knocking enemies off balance and enemies can also pull players out of cover and perform their own takedowns. Many gameplay elements from the previous games are reintroduced, along with new elements such as the Dropshot weapon that fires explosive drills and the Buzzkill that fires ricocheting sawblades at enemies. They are then confronted by Jinn (broadcasting via a DeeBee), who accuses them of kidnapping her people, much to their confusion, before launching an all out assault on the village. and his group manage to successfully steal the fabricator and escape back to their village. Though they are forced to battle the COG’s new robotic DeeBee soldiers, aided by an unknown person remotely controlling some of the settlement’s machinery, J.D. They are accompanied by Kait (Laura Bailey), Reyna’s daughter, and her uncle Oscar (Jimmy Smits), a former Gear and Locust War veteran. and Del decide to raid a nearby COG settlement under construction to steal a special fabricator.

and Del have recently deserted the COG after disagreeing with Jinn’s hardline policies and join a group of Outsiders led by Reyna (Justina Machado).
