wheres my money?

[Gen_Panic]

I havent played this game in quite a while. Decided to try it out today and I am level 0 with zero money.
What gives?

I guess you didn't read the news post about months ago about progression update where EVERYONE gets reset to level 0 / 0 money with new starter equipment that you unlock new upgrades for when you level up.

[Gen_Panic]

No. I didn't.
Thats less than ideal.
So, is there a point to playing this at all? Are the devs just going to wipe my progress again? I had over 200 hours of time in. Picking up items and getting money for nothing I guess.

Here take a lookie. You'll find all the info on what changes are in the game.

The game has a Progression system where you unlock equipment over levels, and can Prestige at level 100+, starting over again but gaining some minor bonuses.

With this in mind, everyone was Prestige'd with the update, starting you over with the new progression, since what you had before doesn't translate to what it is now.

You can play for a bit, learn how the new equipment and evidence works, and get the best equipment.. and if you don't like the idea of resetting over and over for higher Prestige, just stay in your current Prestige and keep your best equipment.

OK, Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the info.

past the 20 hour mark you already played for nothing back then, so what is different now?

And no, things won't reset again. They just made it this time, since they've added the long awaited progression system, which wasn't compatible with the old item system. Things like this happen in EA titles.

I think it's down there, let me take another look.

Money is pretty much irrelevant. You're basically blocked from buying upgrades because of the high level requirements on stuff and since you gain exp and money at the same rate by the time you unlocked something you could afford ten games ago, you're now already rich enough to afford the next three upgrades as well, but again, short on exp to unlock them.

it's a pretty bad system that fortunately doesn't hurt the game too much right now, but money is actually completely pointless right now. At level 62 I am sitting on 50k extra.
a full solo loadout rebuy is only $1500. I could rebuy this therefore 35 times before I ran out of money. If we're talking multiplayer with shared loadouts or even better, one guy provides everything and the other players actually take the risky objectives, it gets even worse.

money means nothing.

It means nothing to us good players, but we're just a minority, which the game isn't balanced around. From their stats prior to the update they've calculated with the average player dying around 50 times until lvl 100 and barely being able to buy all upgrades.

I play with new players, they also don't know what to do with their money.

Also if they die every other game and still can buy all the upgrades, money doesn't mean anything to them either. They just have less of it.
