After completing the story missions, Warzones, Drop Zones and HARM rooms will become available, allowing you to select one of four heroes, and bound into with up to 4 other players. Each mission has specific objectives to complete, and your preferred character can be customized to your play style to prepare you for the challenges ahead.
