How to play Just Cause 2 with a friend: JC2-MP

Free standalone on Steam (Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod); needs the base game. Steam lists Just Cause 2 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.

Get JC2-MP

Dive into an adrenaline-fuelled free-roaming adventure with 400 square miles of rugged terrain and hundreds of weapons and vehicles.
