certain trackable things (like the head and torso) can be selected once you’re locked onto a monster by moving the right stick.

rather than have direct player->player co-op they have a kind-of weird lobby layer called an Online Session. this session can hold 16 players that can converse with one another using the in-game chat, and you can browse these to join one already happening online etc. You can also create one of these yourself and set…
