I normally play solo on my PC, but my friends have PS4 so I use that for coop. One thing I noticed is that playing on PS4, apparel items will occasionally drop from random luggage whereas on PC, only trinkets will drop. I've never got an apparel item loot drop on PC. Am I alone in this?

I guess, as expected, there's a lot more settings available on PC than PS4. I can't change my cross-hairs on PS4.

What other differences are there?

General Tips

Don't get attached to a particular gear item of weapon until you get to World Tier 5 (or Level 40 for WoNY) - it'll become obsolete quickly. Check the tutorials tab if you accidentally skipped over a tutorial in the heat of battle Hazard protection doesn't help against explosives - you need Explosive Resistance for that You can replay missions by selecting them on the map and selecting the difficulty. You cannot replay side missions You can increase the difficulty of a control point by completing an activity that is linked to it by a thin red line. Beating L3 or L4 control points will give you crafting blueprints Most missions have a hidden backpack trophy you can find You can fast travel to friendly supply convoys and NPC assault leaders, as well as group members You can toggle between invaded, regular or manhunt versions of missions by holding a button while selecting the mission Complete the DZ recon missions for additional XP. You only have to find the entrance to the DZ and upload map data - no need to go in. Commendations are in-game achievements. You need to claim commendations on the commendation tab to get the arm patch

Combat Tips

When facing groups of enemies, look out for medics or enemies with a double-chevron icon. These enemies will buff or revive their friends, so taking them out first is a good idea Most enemies have a weak spot. Hitting this will do more damage. You can tell you hit it when there's a bold yellow cross. On most enemies look for a red item. For the Cleaner chungas, shoot the big tank on their back. Once you've done enough damage, they will take their mask off, making them more vulnerable to headshot damage. For the Riker shield tanks, shoot the two tanks on their back. This will force them to drop their shield, making them much easier to finish off. You can use "Call for backup" if you're having a hard time in a given fight. This will summon another player to help you out. Just remember to endorse them when prompted.

Seasons

Seasons are included for all owners of the Warlords of New York expansion. Seasons are a series of activities including a manhunt, leagues and global events spread over 12 weeks. Players earn rewards from the top (free) reward track as their season level increases. Currently (July 2021), previous seasons are being re-run.

Completing the manhunt for a season unlocks a new mission variant. However, all mission variants are also available as a reward on free reward track.

Season Pass

The optional Season Pass unlocks a "premium reward" track and an additional project. The pass for Season One was included free with the Warlords of New York expansion. The pass for Season Two onward costs 1000 premium credits. You can preview the included rewards on this track in-game - highlighted in yellow:

Feel free to add any other tips you have for new players, but avoid any spoilers for those who haven't finished Warlords of New York.
