You will then need to set a password by pressing the white arrows shown below. When you have chosen a password, click private session, and your coop game will be created.
If you want your friend to join, they will need to open their tablet and select the find game option as shown below.
After clicking find game, they will then need to search for your game and input the password to join. This is the only way to play with just friends as there is no way only to invite your friends to the game.
Once in your game, you both will be able to earn unique rewards to help each other survive and earn bonus XP for standing next to each other.
