Want To Gear Up But Not Progress Coop Campaign. Possible?

[sebim 0]

Just bought the game and me and a friend played some last night. All good and fun. Can I start a single player with the same character/save and just loot and roam around without doing any side missions or story missions? 

Does my inventory save at all? Do I have to do story/missions for the save checkpoints to save my gear?

 

How does it work? What can I do by my self without ruining/spoiling the campaign progression in our coop campaign?

 

Thanks.

The Gear You have Access to is Linked to Story Progression.

 

You would only be able to Loot and Stock Low End Gear.

 

If You want better Gear, You need to Play through the Story.
