Can't return to Redfall Commons once you leave?

[Mang]

Apparently the first map you explore is inaccessible after you finish the main story missions for this area. I haven't gotten that far yet but that is a major bummer if true.

I am in the second map, so I don't know yet if we can come back to Redfall Commons. The mission description warns you, so finish all the stuff that you want before accepting it.

At least you get a warning but I read an article that said you can't come back. Even after you beat the game, you have to start a new game to continue exploring that first map which sucks Really wish there was a continue game option like other open world games.

Yeah, I would also like that, but well, a NG+ with all the stuff in the highest dificulty can be interesting... in a bloody, sweaty way XD.

Redfall Commons was definitely the noob tutorial area. Make sure to secure all areas and get the leftover skull.

Seems like a lot of these annoyances should be easily fixable, wondering why the dev team decided to implement these things to begin with.

I can try to return to the Commons. I don't think you can based on how you got there but I wasn't paying much attention during the transitory sequence.

I just reached the second wave of Safehouse Skull collecting... the missions are the exact same. When I muster up enough ♥♥♥♥♥ I'll knock out the 6 safehouse missions to open the Boss door and report if there's a third map or "full" map unlock with backtracking capability.

It's slowly getting better but if there's not a third map I'm getting back on the hate train.

lol ya and no your so vary wrong so heres the thing i am on 25 hours now level 14 and on the second map from what the game says right in it you do go back to the starting map go bring a new doctor to the weapons girl you just have to beat all of the second part of the game an it should let you go back and if not i am sure this game has a new game + or you join your friends that are starting an go back a world its really not hard to go back if your missing some stuff

After playing through the game on Gamepass, no you cant return to any previous zone, you also cant get missed achievements except on a completely new run with a new character.
Also even on NG+ all collectibles reset, so have fun finding those 100 blue message capsules again if you did not do it on the first run.

This game is such a mess, its ok for "free" on Gamepass and a rainy weekend maybe but as a 70 bucks full price title its a blatant insult.

This was my biggest concern smh. Looks like I will be spending a lot of time in the Commons map before I move on

Well, small correction. You still have all the previous unlocked messages from the capsules in a NG+ in your collection BUT all the blue capsules respawn on the map, including the ones you already collected the first time.
So unless you have a really good memory which capsules you already collected its very hard to find the specific missing ones.
