No. You have to unlock the 2042 assets before you can use them as a player in Portal or anywhere else in the game. .....and the only way to unlock them currently is in solo/coop, AOW or Hazard Zone. Although I believe you can unlock them in official Portal Experiences as well. It's BS but it is what it is.
They managed to cap XP in custom Portal Experiences. I don't know why they could at least do the same with Mastery progression, etc. to avoid the whole farming thing.
@Kean_1111I was able to create a Gun Master which allowed my mates to use weapons they hadn't unlocked.
You can always force users to switch weapons in the rules editor.... that may be a work around.
I see. I didn't know you could have access to all weapons using the rules editor. As I recall you can't in the basic Experience options though.
