How to play Just Cause™ 3 with a friend: JC3:MP

Sandbox multiplayer with community servers. Development ended; it still runs with a patch, and a few servers remain. Steam lists Just Cause™ 3 as single-player, so it won't show up in Steam's own "games we both own" view as something you can play together — Ready Up counts it anyway, marked "Via mod", and you can hide mod-only games with one filter if that's not your thing.
