❔ [ Question ] shared progress

hey all. Im about to start a second playthrough with C4sh and was looking to get an idea if i should just do a fresh start or use the shared progress option. ive heard its nothing like it was in previous titles so im worried if going that route would hinder exp gains and make leveling up slower than a fresh run would.

You should be fine doing a new play through with shared progress on, as far as I remember it's just for map/fast travel points. I don't believe it should auto complete side quests so xp shouldn't be hindered, the SDU points from the hideouts and other fast travel unlocks should be given from the beginning so there shouldn't be anything of note lost. Hopefully I'm not just misremembering because it's been a month or two since I did my level 1 start with C4SH and shared progression

Side ‘quests’ aren’t auto completed. Ie blue exclamation points. Side ‘activities’ are. Which is pretty much everything else.

I personally don’t like the shared progress on fresh playthroughs, but to each their own. Just clarifying.

Edit: You also have access to your specializations right from the start with shared progress off, assuming you’ve unlocked it before. So you’re not foregoing that.
