Co-op weapon unlock

[Jesse]

Why can't I unlock weapons while playing co-op? I playwith a friend, would not play alone, but I hate how I can't progress my weapons? IMO very stupid design...

I am playing coop with a friend right now, he is always the host, so everything unlocks for him but not me. We just finished our first Ltd.
Now what would be the best workaround for me to also unlock the weapons?
Playing the same part in singleplayer our should i host a server for the 2nd Ltd.?

Totally Agree with this Topic.

I heard that in Far Cry 4, you can help your invited friend unlock weapons by drop your weapon (swap the one you equipped with weapons that are on the ground) and let your friend pick it up.
Then your friend's weapon will be unlocked at the store.

It seems in Far Cry 5, the host can still drop guns for the invited to use, but not unlocked. Probably can't customize the guns. (But the Signature ones can't be customized anyway, so these might be a good choice.)

The FC5 game should allow the invited to receive rewards from campaign/story mission, and when the invited play their own campaign, just give them only cash reward&exp. Like in Ghost Recon Wildlands (Only exp since GRW don't use money).

And it seems there's also a problem with going too far from each other, this renders the tactics like hitting enemy's bases from 2 sides unable to do.
In GRW, it didn't care how far each player from each other is (up to 4 playes).

We wish FC5, will make fixes in these issues.

Note: Both FC5 & GRW are from Ubisoft, right?

Prevents "carries" by having someone more skilled than you play the game for you.
Prevents "silver bar" farming by not letting you get the same rewards as the lead player.
Makes you play the game yourself, "proving" the games popularity by having more people play it.

Lots of reasons, none that really make any sense by adding Co-op into the game, outside it being fun to play with a friend.

my response to this is... play on your own on your own save in your own time to catch up or take turns hosting, heck i would join your game with you if you want a partner to play with in your own save! hit me up if youre interested! :D

This is beyond stupid. Ghost recon wildlands did it much better with the boxes that anyone can pickup to unlock weapons.

Having to play the game again to get new weapons is stupid. I have 0 interest playing a game twice.

At least you get to keep the cash, talent points and weapons you buy with cash. Honestly haven't had much issue with the pickups and unlocks, since money is easy to come by and the prestige weapons are basically the same, just that they cost more.
Little advice: Get the Harvest Master and Journey Pack perks as soon as possible, so money isn't a problem and you can buy all the prestige weapons and vehicles you want.

Anyone know how to drop weapons, so my friend can pick them up? Cant seems to find a drop button (pc)

[DeafMuut]

Agreed that this is beyond stupid. It's not that we want them to be able to unlock guns by just picking up their friend's guns - it's that IF YOU HAVE PLAYED THROUGH THE ENTIRE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME AS PLAYER 2 you don't have ANY of the unlocks. Not the extra hit points, not the third weapon holster, not the reduced explosive crafting, not the ability to buy the AK-47 or D2 in the store, etc.

It amazes me how stupid game designers can be.

For anyone interested, you can unlock all store weapons (except premium) in your game via cheat engine and then join coop.

Skip right to New Dawn which fixes this or just take turns clearing each region.
