How to Play Co-Op in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is a game with a vast world that players can explore. There are so many details and fascinating areas to discover, and you would be missing out a lot if you didn’t bring your friends along for this thrilling ride. Using the game’s co-op mode, you can do just that. With multiple players embarked on the same quest, the fun will go up a notch.

But how exactly can you activate Genshin Impact’s co-op mode? This article will give you the answer and provide all the things you can do in your multiplayer sessions.

How to Play Co-Op on Genshin Impact on an iPhone

You can’t play with your friends from the get-go in Genshin Impact. This applies to all devices and not just to iPhones. To enable the multiplayer mode, you first need to beat a large chunk of the main story and progress far into this game. As you play, the game will introduce you to its Adventure Rank system, which represents the player’s overall level. This isn’t the same as your characters’ individual level.

As you reach new levels, the Adventure Rank system will give you access to more features, such as daily quests, dungeons, and expeditions. But perhaps the most appealing part of ranking up in Genshin is the opportunity to play co-op. To enter this game mode, your Adventure Rank needs to be level 16. It can take you some time to unlock the multiplayer mode, but just about everything you perform in the game boosts your rank.

Here are some of the activities that can help you achieve a higher ranking and bring you closer to co-op gaming:

Essentially, whatever you’re currently doing in the game will bring you one step closer to the coveted 16^th Rank.

As you climb the ranks to level 16, the co-op will be automatically unlocked, and you’ll be able to find it in your main menu. Another way to access the multiplayer mode is to enter Domains (the game’s edition of dungeons you unlock later) and team up with more users who want to play the same Domain.

Here’s how to start a co-op session once you’ve reached Rank 16:

1. Hit the icon on the top of your screen that resembles a Wi-Fi symbol. This will open your multiplayer game finder.
   
2. You’ll now see all the players with open game sessions. Click on the “Request to Join” button to send them a notification that you want to join their game.
   
3. Wait for the player(s) to allow you to join.

Again, you can rank up by doing nearly anything imaginable in this game. You should primarily follow the main quests until the game instructs you to get a higher Adventure Rank to move on. At this point, you can start exploring new areas, opening chests, unlocking waypoints, and doing side quests marked as a blue “!” on your map. Another good idea is to do some commissions for the organization called Adventurer’s Guild after reaching Rank 12.

When you achieve Rank 16, you can find friends with the same rank or higher who wish to play with you. This is what you need to do from there:

1. Hover to the bar near the top of your screen.
   
2. Type in the User ID (UID) of the player you want to team up with. Players can find their User IDS under their icon on the menu in the upper-left part.
   
3. Make sure to enter the UID while the player is still active so that you can start playing in their world and their game. If other players want to join your world and game, they’ll need to type in your UID.
   
4. Another option is to enter the “Friends” tab in the menu to add more users as your friends using their UID. Once they’ve accepted your request, you’ll be able to see if they’re online using the “Friends” section and enter each other’s games without re-entering the number every time.
