Anyeurysm 175 Posted September 3, 2018 I personally think it would be cool to be able to have at least 3 characters you can run. My 3 man squad just left airfield stacked and 1 of us can't play again until Saturday... It feels unfair to play without him. Anyone know if there are plans for multiple characters? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SquanchyGamer 13 Posted September 3, 2018 Make another email with gmail or yahoo then start another gamer tag. If you share gold on your console you can have as many tags as emails lol. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eeyeoretherealone 56 Posted September 4, 2018 I’d like to be able to have an extra character slot for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted September 10, 2018 It doesn't work, I tried to create a second character so my son could play on his profile but I think it's locked to your ip address. I guess it's some sort of anticheat logic, but it's really annoying that my son will not be able to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then add a new sign in account on that Xbox. Go back to settings and manage family to add that sign in account to the home console. Boom, now you don't have to pay for an extra live account and you can run a new character under each account. I myself have 3 so far... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted September 10, 2018 Yep, did all that but no luck. I'll try again tonight though to make sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullinga Willson 14 Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Share gold on your xbox is all. I use accounts that are not within the registered family. Make sure you're signing out of all services/games then power cycling the xbox before switching profiles. Works for me. Edit: @Anyeurysm Agreed. An option to choose in-game profiles would be good. 5 would be good. Edited September 11, 2018 by Pullinga Willson 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThompHead569 1 Posted September 12, 2018 I think this will come in time. The PC version already has this option so hopefully it will come to xbox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XFileGunner88 17 Posted February 18, 2019 I have (2) guys running. One guy I run solo with because my buddy doesn’t play as often as I do and I hate moving on without him. If anyone wants a partner to run with when playing, HMU! XFileGunner XFileGunner86 friendly. Want to survive, loot, hunt and wanna take a decimated town and get it running again.

RyanS1994 110 Posted March 2, 2019 your reasoning for wanting another character is completely Reasonable but I believe the majority of players who have multiple characters do so with the intention of avenging their own death and protecting bases so everyone having one character is the way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RyanS1994 110 Posted March 3, 2019 my phone is a dick, I cant directly reply or quote your message so I hope you see my reply because I do agree with you, although this is a gritty survival. Game where I see it as once your dead your dead, not some shit where you click your save game and spawn in with gear, I know alot of people will disagree with me but I feel like you are one being so you should have one char, this is my personal opinion and from what I've seen pc is going in the direction of allowing players to have more than one character so things appear to be going the way you want, I do not necessarily disagree with that I just know the way I would. Like it to be but wont cry about it as frankly this is the best game I've ever played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
