Extra Arcade Guide

Thanks to Baja646 we know that enemy weapons can be manipulated by limiting what you get in Weapon Master. With this in mind to get better RNG it is advised to have a file set up for it. Real useful for good runs with Maxi Extra Arcade or Charade runs so you get good weapons for him.

Ideally for Xbox One create a profile dedicated to this with the save file using this. On your main profile you can 100% it if you want to. And another profile to use that will not save any data by using the don't save option at the start. Not sure about PS3 or PS4, but I would imagine the same create two other profiles along with your main one.
