co-op player

Shared mission partner

A co-op player is someone who plays cooperative video games—games designed for players to work together toward shared objectives rather than compete against each other.

The term distinguishes from solo players and PvP (player-versus-player) types: I'm mainly a co-op player; I don't like competitive multiplayer.

Co-op players often value teamwork and communication over individual achievement.
