If the unthinkable happens however, the player looses 500 combat points and respawns at the nearest data-station. In addition, the players can trade T-ENG to keep friends alive, even when they are low on health.
T-ENG can also be used to open the chest scattered around the map, mostly containing weapons. Through T-ENG, the health-bar is slowly replenished automatically or faster, when the player activates the harmonizer. While thermal-energy (T-ENG) isn't required to keep the body warm anymore, it is still very useful to keep the player alive. In addition Vital Suits, a kind of Mech, make their return in all forms of shapes including a VS in which three characters can ride and shoot at the same time. The player has also once again access to a short-ranged grappling hook which can be used to climb up buildings and walls and such in order to overcome obstacles or gain an advantage over the enemy. The available weaponry remains almost the same as in the first game with just a few mostly coop-centric additions like the shield. The basic gameplay remains the same as in the first game, meaning the player take on both the Akrids and other Humans in a third-person-shooter fashion using different kinds of weapons including machine guns, rocket launchers and different types of grenades, although only two weapons and one type of grenade can be carried at the same time. If no humans are available, the player can call up to three bots on his side. Instead the campaign is fully focused on a cooperative experience, allowing up to four friends to engage in the fight for the planet. But as opposed to the first game, he doesn't roam the levels alone anymore. While at first the episodes don't seem to be connected, it soon comes apparent that it is once again up to the player to save E.D.N. The campaign is divided into six episodes, each putting the player into the shoes of a different faction. While it's no longer necessary to survive the cold, it is still needed to power all the machinery on the plant and as such very valuable. And NEVEC is working on a new evil plan while the other factions are engaged in civil war over thermal-energy. The Akrid, although bothered by the heat, are still a very serious threat. Jungles with lush streams of water have grown and dry deserts full of sand popped up. Thanks to Wayne's action, the planet E.D.N. Lost Planet 2 takes place ten years after the events depicted in Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.
