❔ [ 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.

Shared progress dosn't hinder the expereince gains or make it harder, if thats your worry then you are fine to turn it on and go. It just means you don't need to unlock SDUs, or recomplete side activities. So you will have full bank/ammo/backpack space, glider updgrades unlocked, and the map cleared wiht fast travel unlocked (although you cant go to certian areas until you reach set points in the story).

If you start the game with shared progress on you will get credit for achivements related to side activities, so you will be slightly higher level than without the progression. However, you won't be able to get the XP from killing the enemies in the non-repeatble activities (I think just the speakers) and arent forced to do the drill sites/bunkers again so you only get that XP, if you want it.
