Well, yes with a couple notes.

1. If you look at the difficulty sliders. What ever the lowest setting is, is the total difficulty with regards to boons and achievments. Ie. If action and community sliders are set to Lethal and Map is set to Green, then the difficulty for boons and achievments are Green.

2. The trouble you are going to run into is if you change the Map difficulty it rerolls everything. Essentially like you are moving maps. Any cars not parked in base spots will be gone, all loot and plague hearts will be repopulated.

Actually, Im not sure you even stay in your current base. It all kinda changed with the "forever community" update

So really if you were going to do this youd want to set the Map slider to the difficulty level to Nightmare at the start.

just skip right to lethal imo.
