Question about Replayability and the collectibles (POSSIBLE SPOILERS

[Corat McRed]

So I am at the part where you grab TrafficKing (hardy har) and I got curious and wanted to know:

1: I saw the SELECT LEVEL button on the main menu, does this affect my main playthrough, do I keep any upgrades I have atm or what?

2: Does the stashes you get or the fortunes you get from the Oracle do anything or are the stashes for replays or something else?

3: Does difficulty affect anything besides enemies? I'\ve seen statements on how the gunplay gets better on higher levels but does that mean its more worthwhile grabbing guns or did they mess around with little effects (for example, guns do more damage, or certain enemies appear earlier etc)

Hello Corat,

let's get straight to the answers for your questions:

1. When you are using the level select feature you are keeping your lvl and upgrades (excluding prologue which you can replay by hitting a "new game". Be aware though, doing so will reset your progress, including the level selection. We've done this to make easier to find collectibles and max your arena times.

2. Iching is giving you fortunes only for coins you find. CAT stashes are part of a different quest that you can take from Hooligan. You can make it in any city you want.

3. The higher difficulty makes enemies harder relatively to using the same weapon power, the amount of ammo ,etc. But of course by choosing hard you can find better weapons, more interesting skills, so the playthrough is different ;).

Now you know,
RUINERS

So from this, I can assume the fortunes themselves do nothing?
And thanks for the clarification, helps alot.

We don't have the New Game + at the moment, but we are thinking about implementing it in the future. Right now you can use the "Select level" option to get back to the previously visited areas.

Take care,
