One of my gripes with Castle Crashers is that when you play a local game each player must sign in with their own profile. When doing so the weapon unlocks are not shared between the profiles. This makes it frustrating to play Multiplayer if the goal is to unlock more weapons.

When playing with my roommates we noticed that the best way to share weapon unlocks among the profiles is to let everyone pickup and drop the newly unlocked weapon.

This is how its done. When the first person picks up a new weapon it is unlocked for that person’s profile. The old weapon will be dropped. Before the old weapon disappears swap back for your old weapon and give someone else a chance to pick up the new weapon. You have about 10 secs before a dropped weapon disappears. Once everyone in the party has picked up and dropped the new weapon it will be unlocked under all of the profiles.

Notes:

• If you play as the Alien you should be the last player to touch the weapon since the Alien can’t hold any weapons. The weapon will dissappear but it will still be unlocked for the profile.
• If you are not high enough level for the weapon, the weapon will disappear and you won’t get a chance to share it among the group. Since the weapon won’t say the required level the lowest level person should attempt to pickup the weapon last.
• If you play with selfish online players I doubt you will get this to work.
