Perk points for NG+

[Shrimp Daddy]

Just started NG+ after not playing for a while. If I'm understanding this, is the only way to get more perk points is by playing arcade if I've done all the challenges, prepper stashes, and missions (first playthrough)?

That, and start over with NG+ to restore your prepper stashes. You can also play co-op as a guest and pick up some of their prepper stashes if they haven't gotten them all.

I believe I've done one or two prepper stashes in NG+ and there were not perk magazines in them. I think they don't respawn on NG+. Ah I forgot about coop, though I honestly don't feel like finding a random and then organizing a time to play :/

Hmm, well either you're just missing them or there's something wrong with your game. I just completed my NG+ campaign last night, and all my prepper stashes were restored 100%, magazines included. They definitely should be there.

I just started NG+ last night. Maybe the one on the tutorial island didn't count along with the other one I checked out. I'll check the others.

There are perk mags in the prepper stashes, just like the first playthrough.. and 10(?!) points for defeafing Faith, 5(!?) for John. Not sure why I got more for Faith? ..and not done with the rest in normal NG+

Oh, yeah, I don't know about the other one, but the one on Dutch's island doesn't have any perk magazines (it's the same for a first-time playthrough as well).

I just finished NG+ and all perk magazines are available. The 28 prepper stashes are all there and each one held 3 perk magazines. The dozens of single magazines scattered throughout the game world are also there. I haven't picked them all up yet, but I'm at 138 perk points and counting for just this NG+ round.

Yeah, when you start up a NG+ all the prepper stashes respawn.

I checked a couple more prepper stashes and the magazines were there. I guess the second stash I found was bugged, but I'm glad I found more. Tyvm guys :)

Can confirm it, the Prep stash on Dutch's island ("Sunken funds") doesn't contain magazines, maybe it's because that expedition is part of the tutorial/introduction story part, therefore won't be reset (just the generic content of money and ammunition). Just tried the bridge ("Swingers") near Rae Rae, and it works as normal, could find the magazies. Restored my faith in NG+, I'm hunting for max out all stackable perks, today won't sleep :D

Glad this all got sorted out. Thanks for the info, everyone!
