How To Play Multiplayer in Genshin Impact With Friends

How Do You Unlock Online Multiplayer in Genshin Impact

There is only one requirement for players to unlock co op mode and that is to reach at least Adventure rank 16. Reaching AR 16 isn't tough at all as the lower adventure ranks require very little experience to progress through. By quickly doing story missions and completing domains you can reach Adventure rank 16 and start playing with your friends.

It can be tough for new players to unlock multiplayer mode immediately but doing certain quests in Genshin Impact can help you unlock higher AR levels very quickly.

There are certain things that you can do at the start of the game such as doing archon quests, completing statues of the seven, opening chests, and finishing story quests that will get you a lot of Adventure EXP in a short amount of time.

How to Access Multiplayer Mode in Gneshin Impact

Using multiplayer mode is actually really easy as all you need to do is follow the steps listed below:

1. Select co op Mode through the pause menu. This will open up the multiplayer menu which you can use to see which of your friends are online and available to be joined.
2. Open Coop Mode to join friends instantly if you have them added. You can also join multiplayer directly by interacting with domains and you'll get matched with people looking to do the same domain as you at your world level.

How To Join Your Friends in Genshin Impact

Just follow this step-by-step guide to join friends:

1. Get your friends' UID. (It can be found at the lower left of the screen.)
2. Add them as a friend using their UID.
3. Once they accept you can just join them through the friends menu.

To give your friends the ability to add you just share your nine digit UID number which is at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Once you have them added to your friends list you can just send a request to join their world or accept their request to join yours. After that they will spawn in and you can engage in various activities together.

What Are The Limitations of Multiplayer Mode in Genshin Impact

There are a few restrictions in the multiplayer mode when it comes to joining other players. You need to be the same world level as the person you are trying to join otherwise you will not be able to join them. That means that if you are sitting at world level 1 and your friend is at the max AR rank in Genshin Impact you will not be able to join each other as your world levels are vastly different.

You can lower your world level by one to match your friends but keep in mind that this locks your world level for 24 hours. That means that you will be able to join worlds more easily but it will have an impact on the difficulty of overworld enemies as well as the drops that you can get from them.

There is one more major limitation to multiplayer, and that is the server that you are on. You cannot join players that are one other servers but you can join players that are on other devices.

There are also character limitations, as the amount of characters that you can control depends on how many players are in the game session. When you play solo you are able to control 4 characters, but when you play online with other people you will control fewer characters.
