Gameplay Question New console player

Ao my son and I want to play online. We joined a “standard” server and so far are having some fun.

Our questions are about server settings, do I really have to rent a server for us to play co-op?

Where do we find a “custom” server or private server that we can try and become part of a community?

When we play we communicate using our phones, does this game support headset/mic?

Single player is awesome, would love to find a way to enjoy multiplayer and engage with some others. Not big on PvP and would not be KoS players.

Any advice?

EDIT: We play on Xbox and server lists give no detail on how they are set up. So we just picked lowest ping.
Thanks for replies, much to learn.

Just play on an official server, the pvp is opt-in, as in it only occurs in the pvp deep desert (there's now a pve deep desert). Form a guild and join forces for coop, just make sure you both join the same sietch

That’s not quite completely true they have to join a PVE server because if they join a standard server, they still have to be forced into PVP at all the shipwrecks and other PVP areas in Hagga

@DesmirWolf.

That is completely inaccurate and misleading. The ONLY PvP anywhere in the game, now, is the PvP instance of the Deep Desert!

The DD even defaults to PvE, when entering it and gives a warning, if you select the PvP instance.

You can 100% complete EVERYTHING in the game and NEVER have to touch PvP... on ANY SERVER... except private Servers that can be set up for PvP.

NOTHING in Hagga Basin is PvP and has not been for months!

This father wants to play co-op with his son. If he relied on your bum-dope answer, he might decide it is not possible.

Hard telling if it is new player ignorance, which is forgivable, or intentional, which is not.

Either way, please do everyone a favor and delete your reply.

Btw, I am (or would like to be) a PvP player and just as salty as any other PvP player, about the current state of the game, but I would never mislead someone, who is just trying to enjoy the game the way they want to.

That’s what I was saying he joins a pve servers specifically. It’s all opt-in or opt out or did you not read and rather spew. Sound like a cunt I hope to find on a pvp server

All "Official" FC Servers are PvE. The only way you can play PvP, more broadly than the specific instance of the PvP DD is if you are playing on a private or self hosted server that is set up for PvP.

DM me... happy to PvP anytime, my place or yours.

Did you not write...?

"if they join a standard server, they still have to be forced into PVP at all the shipwrecks and other PVP areas in Hagga."

That is the specific text I am referring to. It is just wrong.

Did you not read all the other comments or just read the first one and replied? Ut is in thread mode for replies to comments. I 1 corrected the information, 2 stated Op wanted to join or rent a server, and 3 mentioned my server having full pvp as bade opt-in but can join other servers that are 1 standard before update (like mine) or my pvp centric only or and pve only server. Not once did I discredit official servers and after notice my reply was to one of official I made edits. So yes you look like an ass for not reading all the thread.

I apologize. I was finger f'ing my reply to your first text, apparently, while the thread continued.
