Semi-missable warning: Unlocking all suits

[fbdbh 842]

Just a heads-up:

 

Don't spend challenge tokens on gadgets! Generally, focus spending all kinds of tokens on suits first.

 

Challenge tokens can only be earned once on each difficulty of the Taskmaster challenges. Other tokens are earned by doing all objectives, but you can't re-earn them once complete. So if you spend carelessly tokens on gadgets and suit upgrades, you will have to go for even the most annoying objectives and challenges and re-do them perfectly to earn more. For the challenge tokens, you'll have to do the Taskmaster challenges on the highest difficulty to earn more, and it's unnecessary frustration and time.

 

Since there aren't any trophies related to maxing out all gadgets, do only what's necessary, and only after you have all the suits. This way you'll potentially save hours.

Yes, I can confirm as well. You can just play without ever looking up a guide, which is really nice  

 

But the platinum gets harder if you don't spend the tokens wisely.

 

To illustrate:

 

A Taskmaster challenge is like a race or a combat situation, where speed and precision matter. You can earn 6 challenge tokens by completing them, 1 for easiest, 2 for spectacular and 3 for ultimate. But if you do, let's say, spectacular, no matter how many times you replay, you won't get any more tokens for that difficulty. And the ultimate scores can be really hard.

 

You can complete all taskmaster challenges on difficulty 1 and 2, and still have enough tokens for the suits. But if you spend them on gadgets, you have to go back for the perfect scores. They're still very doable, but annoying (some of them took me a dozen tries).

 

Still, probably they will add more of these just to be safe.

Thank you!

Can you get more tokens in NG+? Or challenge progress is transferred too?

[SGRevan 121]

Thank you for the tip.

How hard are the challenges? Are we talking Prototype platinum challenge level of difficulty?

Is "Overdrive" missable? I've cleared all criminal activities in 4 districts (20 total) but only got 3 vehicle takedowns.

So, question. 

 

I was originally planning on not even using my voucher for the Pre-Order suits, I figured I'd rather just earn them. But the more and more people talk about these challenges, the more I'm thinking I should just get those out of the way. So would it benefit us more to use the voucher and get the pre-order suits, so that we don't have to waste...what seems to be...precious tokens on them? Or does it not really matter in the long run?

[rdhight 241]

Well look, there are 28 suits, and we need them all. The preorder bonus gives you two or three. I think I'll just redeem the preorder and get on with my life, except with a few more tokens to spare for gadgets or other gameplay-affecting upgrades.

 

Plus, let's face it: if I'm playing a video game, and there is a button I can push that immediately gives me an electric guitar that harms enemies, am I ever not going to push that button?

That's far from all criminal activities. There are over 160 mandatory, and there will be more popping up randomly. You should get this after fighting another faction.

I don't think they count for the trophy, just unlock them after the others. You can't really get this out of the way early, you need tons of late game collectibles to unlock all suits (one unlocks after the story, one after reaching lvl45, etc).

It definitely does help. Those suits require atleast 3 Challenge tokens each to unlock normally. 

 

By using that pre order code, it'll make things a bit easier.

Thanks for the advice!

PowerPyx also recommends not spending the Base Tokens (in addition to the Challenge Tokens) until after the game as well. I just started so haven't earned any of them yet, but this is really good to know.

[The Shopkeeper 5,494]

Good to know, thanks. I make a habit of not checking the trophy list until after I play through a story at least once, but it would have been a shame if one careless actiont meant I wouldn't get the platinum unless I started all over or unless I started slaving on challenges.
