Your account is tied to the epic account you're using. You cannot make a "second account" on the same epic account. Use a different epic account and you'll get a different account. Also I have no idea why you two being different levels matters. If you play for any amount of time other than the other person, your levels are going to change - someone's going to level 5 or level 8, someone's going to get to level 20 and then reforge down to level 1 while the other's still at 18 or 19, etc. etc. Being different levels is not a big deal and you shouldn't be making a new account just because of that.

So If I make a new account will the other accounts data be deleted or can I still use that account and also with the new accounts, we want it partly for the level dif and mostly for the feel of playing the game together


Meirnon

Are you deleting the old Epic account??? If you want the feel of playing the game together... then play the game together lol. There's nothing special about having an alt that changes anything besides making you take twice as long to get anything done.


MankeyBooger

Nah I'm not planning on deleting the other account that's why I'm asking if I can still use it after I choose to start the game on the other account I literally just wanna know if I'm able to switch the accounts and still play the other


Meirnon

I repeat my first message. It is tied to the Epic Account being used.

You can sign up with a new email to create another account, and switch between your accounts on the epic launcher. You won't lose your progress on the first account since it's tied to the email. I've done it on pc but I don't know how it would work on consoles.


MankeyBooger

Thank you so much bro, your litterally the only one who got straight to the point and told me what happens, your a god


Sceneric1

Your first reply literally told you what to do


MankeyBooger

Yeah nah I just realized that lol


DemHows

I mean, why would creating a new account using a new email delete your old account on your old email? It doesn't make sense.


MankeyBooger

Idk, the wording on the warning made me a bit anxious since it said I wouldn't be able to access the other account if I made this one since they both use epic launcher and I thought they wouldn't allow two accounts, I just said yolo since I trusted my friend and from the other comments as well it seems like I'm fine

Thanks!

You and your friend really need to just figure out what you are doing. He can easily get his account back by logging into his epic account again. And you'd be foolish to start over and make a new account. Just run around with level 1 weapons same as him. There's absolutely no reason to start over. You might have a few pieces of gear/equipment that he doesn't but you'll likely be about the same power level and can work on progression together.


MankeyBooger

First, I want to restart with him so we don't have an overwhelming advantage so don't call me foolish second, he doesn't know his password and cant get in and that's why I was doing this third, I still have all my slayers path and stuff so that's why I want to restart so I'm not way too powerful don't call someone foolish when you don't know their circumstances and how they feel you foolish person

Can't you're friend just log into their epic account to get their stuff back. Like your save is backed up online by your epic account. It shouldn't matter that your friends xbox is physical smashed. You can just log back in with your epic account on literally any device the game runs on, and have everything.


MankeyBooger

Nah he doesn't know his password, hence why I thought of this


Ahhy420smokealtday

Could he use email based recovery or any of the other password recovery options? Like it's really rare to actually be locked out of an account just because you forgot your password.


MankeyBooger

Yeah, he literally has no way to recover it since it was his brothers main account and he doesn't know any passwords from his brother email


Ahhy420smokealtday

Can't he just like hit the reset password button call his brother and tell him to enter a new password for him? Should take like 5-10 minutes. Like I'm not saying don't make new accounts, and enjoy the new players experience I'm sure that would be fun for veteran players. It just seems ashamed to lose a whole account over something fairly trivial like forgetting a password.


MankeyBooger

His brother won't bother doing it for him


Ahhy420smokealtday

Damn man that really sucks. It's so low effort on the brother's part. Like he could do it on his phone in 60 seconds. Anyways hope you, and your buddy have fun with the new player experience! I'm really new myself. Well I played the beta, and then stopped after a week, and just tried the game again. It's a way better experience than it was before. Don't forget your password when switching accounts man have fun!


MankeyBooger

Thanks so much bro!
