For players opting for the Trio queue, up to three players can join a single group. Once queued, these teams will face off against other trios, with a maximum of 12 players total in a match. This means that in a full lobby, there are typically four teams of three battling for survival, loot, and the coveted Dark And Darker Gold.
Mixed Matchmaking
One interesting aspect of Dark and Darker is its mixed matchmaking system. While Trio queue is specifically designed for groups of three, solo or duo players can also enter this queue. This means that not all teams you encounter in a Trio match will consist of three players.
For example, you might face a mix of full trios, duos, or even solo players in the same game. While this creates opportunities to take advantage of smaller, less coordinated teams, it also adds unpredictability to every match.
It's important to note that regardless of the mix of gold chest dark and darker party sizes, the total number of players in a match will not exceed 12.
