First impression is good of the environment, however I am being vexed by the game. I started a character in coop as soldier. Saw a couple of shiny new pistols, picked them up, used them quite a bit and when I tried cycling back to my rifle, it was gone. I don't remember seeing anything saying I was giving up my rifle. Went back to where I picked up pistols and no rifle laying on ground. Ok so I tough it out as a soldier without my primary weapon, finally get to a point where I can buy a new weapons I think (at the vendor in town), purchase something called a SMG, could that be sub-machine gun? Anyway after purchase I can't pull that up either. Just have my two shiny pistols.
Also, when we started it was splitscreen coop. We both created characters, played for about an hour and then we quit, the game said "saving content" . Now when we restart the game, both of our characters show as level 1 and the game is starting over from the beginning.
Is this newb problems or am I looking at some kind of bug? Any sincere advice appreciated.
update: Ok figured out that when u pick up a new weapon you drop whatever you are holding. I'm not sure if what you drop is laying on the ground and can be picked up a second time. We are still seeing an issue where there is a weapons cache, with a sub machine gun SMG, my partner, a hunter picks it up, it disappears from the cache, but it is not in his inventory. If it is a weapon he can't equip, why is the game allowing him to pick it up? Can anyone confirm the most you can carry is 2 guns? Thanks.
We also figured out that at the start of the game, you can select characters from you saved game but it is not obvious until you try it a couple of times.
The only save message I have seen is when you quit the game. Does anyone know if this game auto saves as you progress, or should you be quitting the game every so often to save? I'm thinking of power outages...
Update2: Most of vexes solved. Back button, scroll through categories to see backpack and equipment including weapons being carried. Still not sure if you drop weps when new wep picked up, maybe depends on if all your slots are full. Good game for coop. Really like the graphic style!
