Handler notes

Co-op only for the raid mode using this. READ the handler notes in the UI very carefully. Multiple gamepads and just ONE keyboard/mouse supported. Switch the crosshair to laser pointer if you notice the crosshair is off center.

If you want to use your own steam save data your save file is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata"your id"\287290\remote\

But simply replacing the savedata file is not enough because this game ties your save data to your user steam id, so you need to get your steam user id number, here is the easiest way to do it:

In Nucleus settings players tab set your player id for the first player.

Copy the save to its respective instance in C:\Users<your username>\NucleusCoop, you can access your saves per instance via the NucleusCoop UI after the handler first launch, click game options/open user profile save path in the UI.
