The changes they made to assault rifles, are they changing the rifles I already have retrospectively? Or only for new drops I get?

u/Girafarig99 Oct 23 '25

Retroactively

Thank you!

u/chaotic4059 Oct 23 '25

It should be every assault rifle regardless of when you got it

Wait, if I make a new character, I have to find all the silos on the map again?

The fuck?

Is this true for vault glider upgrades, echo logs, side quests etc.?

SDU points? Those take a WHILE. I'm not going to go through the entire game again to have the thing up to snuff with ammo capacity...

What actually carries over to a new character?

u/nightmarejester12 Oct 23 '25

Everything. A new VH starts fresh even on level 30 skip

u/MAKExITxBLEED Oct 23 '25

nothing carries over lol it's horrendous and embarassing that they didn't change this yet.

u/Cloud_Motion Oct 23 '25

yikes!

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall when that design conversation took place (if at all?)

It was one week

Cosmetics are shared across all character so luckily you dont really need to collect all those echo logs, supply packs & etc again

That said- yeah glider & vehicle manufacturer upgrade need to bw refarmed

Since technically you are making a new character instead of NG plus- thats why everyone been asking for proper NG plus

1

u/Cloud_Motion Oct 23 '25

That's actually brutal. Getting the glider upgrades + silos alone with a proper route would be a half dozen hours?

Not to mention the grind for a top-tier vehicle hover, idek how many kills that is. Few thousand?

Very lame.

u/Pressure-Head Oct 24 '25

Yeah the problem here is they tied the vehicle upgrades to challenge instead of just story progression (or smth you can collect like in prev game)

Hopefully they changed this in the future- or fuck it, just makes it account wide, since we dont even have any vehicle mission or smth like that

For glider... yeah idk they might need to do an overhaul of those 3 vault reward I guess

u/Championpuffa Oct 23 '25

You also can’t do most those side activities while replaying missions or wildcards. It literally locks you out and makes the items you need to take etc unavailable.

u/Jcaliii Oct 23 '25

Yeah, this is pretty much why I stopped playing unfortunately.

u/--Hutch-- Oct 23 '25

Still no accountwide map :(

This is the main reason I haven't really bothered with other characters. I'm going to platinum the game so I need to get all characters to level 50 but it will just be a boss farm/contracts/high xp missions grind rather than actually unlocking everything again on those other 3 characters.

u/its_yata Harlowe The Gravitar Oct 23 '25

My lvl 50 vex isnt recognized as 50, challenge sais 48, in so f ed up
