Before inviting a crew

Agree on the host, privacy setting and voice plan before entering a run. In co-op, scale responsibilities (loadout, haul, anti-Rot watch, spotter) rather than just enemy expectations; button names can change between patches, so use the current in-game lobby rather than an old screenshot.
