In Heat Signature, you can retire your character after a time. When you do so, you're given the opportunity to select an item to "pass on" to future characters. However, I have yet to see any of these items in subsequent characters.

How do I ever find the items I've passed on? If they aren't a guarantee to find, why retire a character at all?



Best Answer

it seems to me these items appear much more on defector mission crates than on your actual characters gameplay - but when they do, it's nice.

I'd say retiring let's you add personal challenges to each new character - like having a self imposed "seen by = 0" on a character, regardless of the mission clause. After you've played it a while - you'll notice that characters have noi personal meaning - they're just different gear sets - so to me this helps adds flavor (currently about to retire who never killed Foundry enemy because I decided he was ex-foundry himself)
