This is a bug.
Cool thing is, that 1-20 has great perks and cash.
Sorry you lost your level, but it doesn't mean anything and is capped at 500.
I had mine reset like 25 times, and I eventually made it to 500.
But it worked in my favor, since I am not a big fan of SP games and I still needed those perks!
You guys Have a lot of confusion going on in here, so I am going to help you guys clear it up .......
first of all this thread was made before the update!!!
So here is my response for Geenbow before update 1.10 ...... I think a lot of us knew that if you started your game over you would lose everything , and start back over . I completely understand that you didn't ,because Far Cry 5 has been A hands on learning experience . It's Like not knowing how to swim , and Ubisoft pushing you off in the deep end HERE YOU GO SWIM!!!
I Remember A time when video games gave you INSTRUCTIONS .
I guess this is no longer required!
So anyways ..... here is my response for Geenbow after Update 1.10 ......
You should have waited A day later ...
They added New game + , and you wouldn't be on here talking about how you lost everything .
I Hope this clears everything up........
You're Welcome
