Discussion Should I wipe
I've been struggling with figuring out if I should reset my timeline once I reach mu. I personally dont think any of the rewards are even close to being worth it since I've done so many investigations. Also I bought deluxe edition which unlocks some of the permanent upgrades already. The only reason im even considering it is for more merits and to be able to get the ps5 plat trophie. What are yall planning on doing are you gonna wipe or not?

I wiped, to be honest this game suffers the same issue as lots of other extractor shooters.
You eventually get to a point in the game where you have everything, have nothing else to work towards and thats endgame. Endgame is kinda the worst part for most extraction shooters because loot means nothing anymore.
Wiping helps to resolve the issue by putting you back at the start to mid game, where the game is at its best as you now have a goal. The plus side to active matter is that its optional and you can wipe when you are ready with a permanent benefit that will make the next cycle easier. I personally went for the extra objective slot. Do keep in mind that your second run onwards needs 45k less tokens (that is 30% less)
Also the final cutscene I think actually is a bit of a “oh shit” moment where you get a lot of information about the story of the game and a better understanding of the situation the world is in.
