    My husband and I have been playing COD Ghosts and he decided to purchase some DLC (new maps, outfits, skins, etc) we each have our own account on the PS4 but only he has a PSN account. When we play multiplayer he is the only one that can access the new outfits and gun skins. Is there any way I can access and use them as well? He tried signing into his PSN account on my PS4 account, didn't work. He then tried to purchase a couple on things on my PS4 account through his PSN account and then when we switch to his PS4 account to play, still nothing purchased shows up for me. If I were to create and pay to activate my own PSN account on my PS4 account and purchase the extra skins and whatnot, would I be able to access them when we play multiplayer on his PS4 account? Sorry if the way I worded everything is confusing >,<

    a quick Google search is saying cosmetic stuff like weapon skins and outfits in COD:Ghosts are tied to one account and cannot be shared, but things like maps should be fine and work for your account. Also a PSN account is free, so long as your husband has his account set to use that PS4 as his "primary" one things like being able to go online with PS+, games and DLC should be able to be shared with your account. At least the majority of the time, there are a few fringe cases like the weapon skins etc in COD where it is account specific.
