Of course you have to unlock every color for every character individually -- it's the only reason why the DLC Vanity chest was lowered to 300.

I bought the Explorer pack a few days ago which includes UCP so i guess so, but when i bought the game at launch there was a preorder bonus that gave me UCP too

It's not a matter of graphics, otherwise Pro could deliver 60 fps with more than double the GPU power.
It's the A.I. code (lots of NPCs) that keeps both the Campaign and Co-op stuck at 30 fps.
PvP only has a few sidecocks here and there, so 60 fps is easier.
It sounds like both your challenges are MP challenges. I think the Survival grenade challenge I could choose yesterday was 30 KO's, definitely more than 15. Do they say "Survival:" in the text?
You need to set your challenge preference to "Survival only" or "Survival/MP" in order to get Survival challenges.
I switched it to Survival only from Multiplayer+Survival, unless they were always multiplayer challenges and I gotta pay the relic points to switch them? That kinda makes sense.
In my experience so far all survival challenges say "Survival:" as prefix.
Yeah, if you had those two challenges already before you changed the preference, they are for MP.

Are PvE/Survival challenges doable or should I switch them to PvP/MP challenges only?
I think they are easy.
But beware that you don't choose a weapon specific challenge with a weapon that you haven't unlocked to buy in the arsenal yet . The survival unlock menus are deceiving and show weapons you have unlocked in MP, but when you're in a survival match they're co-op level locked.

Then I guess I'll stick to PvP challenges, until I level up in PvE. I haven't unlocked anything yet.
The non-specific "any pistol", "any long gun", "any heavy", grenades etc. are easy though and not level locked.

I'm really curious, are weapons/gear/mysticals the same in Co-op?
I mean, I would expect them to be buffed in PvE compared to PvP, i.e. grenades should have a larger radius, just like in the Campaign.
Back in UC3, Competitive nerfs also applied to Co-op, which is really crap... they should be separate.

Yes. I ran multiple waves by myself, with another, and with two others. Running it by yourself is clearly the easiest. Everything does more damage.
In regards to just getting through alive or getting 3 stars?
I'd say the difficulty is the opposite in regards to getting 3 stars. With 3 players you can kill enemies much faster all over the map where in solo you get much more down-time from running around the map to get to the enemies.

I haven't played multiplayer in months, so what weapons/boosters should I use/avoid?
I'm a pistol/handgun sort of person. Are handguns useful right now or should I get something else?

Yeah I'm barely getting one star on my own.
Then again, I've been away from this game for 6 months or so.
Certainly not easy to get those 3 stars that way.
Boot up Uncharted and start playing! Nah, but practice those headshot. A headshot kill gives you extra money in Survival. Also, save mysticals and power weapons for the bosses.

The new King of the Hill mode is alright, but it has the same problem as Plunder where very good players will needlessly prolong the match when they are dominating just to get more points/exp. Was stuck in a lobby for 15 minutes where that was the case.
They really should just implement the "Forfeit" option in every game mode if this keeps happening. It's getting tiresome and that a game mode that's been here since launch still hasn't fixed this is mind boggling, considering the fact that this was fixed in TLOU:MP for Interrogation. :/

Yeah, seems like you're doing fine if you just played the single player.
Yeah I don't think I can tolerate the 30fps. I don't have a problem with single player games but this is fucking headache inducing, especially when I've been playing the same experience at 60fps for months. It's just horrible. Let me play the thing at 720p if that's what it takes, but don't force this sloppy mess on us after 6 months of 60fps.
Yes, but V-sync definitely causes framerate loss.
Again Rainbow Six Siege does the same thing because Terrorist Hunt uses some pretty advanced AI which is why it is 30fps instead of 60 like the MP. Turning off V-sync though GREATLY increases your performance, and is allowed as an option even on consoles.
It is very likely a CPU issue and that could potentially fix it. The thing is that we don't know if the framerate would be steady or in huge flux.

Lower resolution wouldn't help either. It's more CPU-bound than GPU-bound.
We really need a (Ry)Zen CPU on the PS5, lol.
Even if they remove V-sync, it still won't be locked 60 fps.
If OG PS4 can have 30 fps, then maybe Pro can have 40 fps at most (33% CPU overclock). Then again, Sony has mandated OG/Pro framerate parity in MP games (IMHO it should not apply to PvE, since there's no competitive advantage).
PS4 devs have access to 6.5 (out of 8) Jaguar cores and ND already squeezes every juice out of them. It's the same reason why the Uncharted 4 Campaign will never be able to reach 60 fps (unless we get a PS5 remaster patch or something).
the performance on survival is AWFUL... i'll hold out my opinion of it until they make some more optimizations, because it really needs it... on standard PS4 anyway.
hopefully they can do work for the PS4 Pro version too, because I feel like that should be 60FPS for survival, or an absolutely smooth 30FPS... but maybe it's a CPU bottleneck.

apparently you don't need ps+ to play co-op
I play on Pro and yeah it's far from optimal. When the real MP is 60 is gets really noticeable.
I can't seem to play as heroes in solo, but when in a party lobby you can freely change team with R2 before entering a survival match.

So I finally started kicking ass with a random
We did so well I attempted to look them up in my Recently Played With list
...only to find it was my AI teammate the whole time!
Holy crap its so much easier when playing by yourself

I hope the reason they haven't brought back classic yet is because they're making every mode classic and dumping all of the new garbage into one shitty mode.
5 modes and all of them are fucking unbearable crap full of bullshit revives, hunters and mystical shit. It's the fucking worst. I'd rather have the U3 kickboom era than this piece of shit.
BRING CLASSIC BACK. Jesus fucking christ is it too hard to please us with ONE mode free of the new vomit-inducing additions? I bet they're too proud to admit that it was more succesful than the other modes so they just quietly swept it under the rug. F. off really.

Yeah its pretty sad when your AI survives and kills more than human randoms lol.
Level 34 in co-op now. Feels good man. I kept trying to do stage 5 on hard with randoms and they must be super underleveled because they keep getting one shot by the bosses. I keep telling them on mic to shoot and scoot because the bosses will destroy them if they don't constantly move away from them and of course they just kept rushing them over and over ):

The new Survival mode is just what I needed to get back into the MP! YEESS! Much fun! Made it to 40th wave with a buddy right now(had to stop because we both need to get up quite early) and it's just awesome. Super addictive too.
Love the fact that the maps change, forcing you to basically find new spots and constantly adapt; the waves are very much balanced (at least until the 40th wave). They get harder and harder, but never in a "bullshit" way, you always know/feel you can beat them if you do something different; the War Lords are AMAZING!!! They make for very fun boss battles! Love that they use mystics. The one from the 40th wave was super duper hard already, can't wait to see what's next!
All in all, awesome update! And I still need to try King of the Hill too.

Ooooh that's how you change it lol. Was with a party last night and we were stuck as villains the whole time.
Having a blast with this ,on level 19 and cleared wave 35 before me and my friends called it a night.
Third warlord is intense, is there a certain strat for it or is it literally
for him?
A third person makes things so much better, with just 2 people we found ourselves getting overrun quite quickly.
Also is there a limit on challenges or something? My kill 30 enemies with grenades was just stuck on 20/30 and wouldn't go up despite me killing with grenades.
I swear it kept making us villains whether our names were in blue or red. I'll check again tomorrow.

Why did my Plus subscription have to run out right before Coop and new maps hit? 
Sony better do a free multiplayer weekend soon!

Just make a new PSN account, primary activate it (so that you can play with your main account) and you're good to go for 14 days. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Hold up, you get free multiplayer for two weeks on a new account? All right, thanks, I'll give that a try if I have nothing else to play.

Yeah you don't need PS+ for Co-Op. A designer from Naughty Dog streamed it with Easy Allies today and confirmed it.
