Really hope it works like Darkest Dungeon for permadeath if you wipe and then you can easily replace a full dead squad with fresh recruits at least to have.

Yup!

I hope Permadeath is an option, im all for it (X-Com has trained me) but for those who don’t want to stress while playing the story and enjoy it

Other than that this is super f**king exciting

All SWAT AI in single player have permadeath as you progress through the missions, but there’s also a practice mode which lets you play unlocked SP missions without losing anyone.

It would be really tough to implement the campaign additions in cooperative, so they won't be present -- but we are being sure to serve cooperative players with a lot of extra content so they can feel more personalized while on mission. Just won't be any permadeath or AI squadmates for coop for 1.0. The latter is a bit of an undertaking that we'd like to tackle in the future but we'll see. In the meantime, if a friend dies -- kick him from the lobby and ban him from your discord. Boom, permadeath hah!
