Healing – always stand next to your partner when healing and you’ll both get the benefit.

Double your Stuff – Start a game and invite another player. Once they have joined equip their inventory and then get them to leave again. They will be replaced by the AI. Take all items from the AI and then re-invite the player and they will rejoin with the stuff intact. You can repeat this to duplicate your stuff over and over. You can also do it with treasure items to boost your cash reserves.

Easy Money – Play any chapter and collect as much treasure and cash as you possibly can. Pause the game, quit and save when prompted. Now restart any chapter and you’ll find all the items you collected retained in your inventory and ready to use in the opening shop screen. This should help you build up the cash to upgrade all your weapons.
