Plan Z posted:It's worth it just to do solo runs to get the layout, then get some teammates in. It can be super-satisfying to run out of there with 12+ bags and a suit of armor. Also, nothing beats the pulse-pounding action of having the 1:00 timer show up while one of your teammates races the clock back to the van with an artifact on his back. I like shadow raid, but my friends hate me and always relegate me to bag bitch because I'm such a liability. I get spotted 9/10 times, usually while running bags, but also because I get bored waiting for the rest of my crew to loot bags and wander into the cargo yard looking for something they might have missed. I'll take a plan B anyday

Why does the AK-family not get a wooden stock (apart from that dumb sniper stock)? I want a classic AKM with wood furniture, damnit. The AKs need some love in general. The courier DLC definitely helps, but the AK-74 is still just a worse version of the M4.

An important note about the Car4: it's less drop reliant than most primaries, because it gets so much gage pack love. Notably the rails and the quadstack.

Just respec'd from mostly Ghost to mostly Enforcer and jesus christ the ICTV. I can't move, but I can't die either.  I think it was faster to clear a solo Bank Deposit by throwing all the money and gold out of the vault and letting the cops move it near the escape van than it would be to actually walk it all out  Fellis posted:30 second ECM timer while your teammate runs the server from the office to the van during your guessing game cheevo run (and then misses the throw into the van with 3 seconds left)

In regards to Hoxhud - Is it common that the thing stops working? I installed it yesterday, worked fantastically. Now it is broken and does absolutely nothing. Replacing the files accomplishes nothing and I am at something of a loss.\ Was there some sort of version change to make it incompatible or what have i missed?

Coolguye posted:Threat also works off differentials more than anything else, as well. I tend to get comments when I play with goons about how many cops I kill and how much punishment I absorb, but that's really just because my threat is through the god damned roof. I roll with a maxed out Loco and a Thanatos in my main if there's no other snipers around to deal with Bulldozers and Shields, so what this amounts to is that regardless of if I'm clearing a room of green SWAT or railing some specials, I'm racking up obscene amounts of threat. I'll take heat off others even if they're not trying to play particularly quiet just because I dare cops to come at me just by EXISTING. Its a poor man's rattlesnake. One advantage it has is you can Mag Plus it to a 25 magazine. Not as good in piercing cinnabuns or shields but gives your sniping buddy some breathing spacein seeing who to kill. Plus better rof as a single shot weapon

Brainamp posted:Yeah, I posted about that in the last thread. Seems to be a recent bug and one of the funnier ones. I had a weird one today where none of the cops seemed to be aware I existed on a bank heist. They seemed to be kind of stuck in pre-assault phase where they were maneuvering around the map to get into position, but completely ignoring all the players. They did occasionally seem to shoot at some of the other players but even then they were REALLY passive about it. Meanwhile I was just running around meleeing cloakers to death without them even leaving their drop in point by the vents. I think them not noticing me at all might have been some kind of lag thing, but even then they were being REALLY passive in general, not trying to rush or swarm no matter what phase it was.

Me and every one of my friends agrees that cheating your levels and some cash in is entirely appropriate. The grind is the most un-fun thing in the game and honestly kind of gets in the way of the fun. I reached 100 legitimately and then LUA-ed myself to V-100 because I really didn't feel like doing that again, and many of my friends felt the same. Now me and my friends just play whatever mission we feel like, loud or quiet, not giving a poo poo about experience (except for the stealth bonus as that's fun/funny to get) and we just have fun robbing banks and PMC camps or carrying cocaine. The game itself is fine and if you're cheating that there's a good chance you're ruining someone else's fun (not to mention taking all the fun out of your own game). The grind is bullshit though.

Is there any known safe way of boosting cash and exp by a bit? I've got to 60ish by playing on and off since release, but the grind is getting to me - I don't want to boost to max infamy or anything, just skip a couple of levels now and again. Google just returns a load of results for old stuff that doesn't seem to work any more or really dodgy looking hack sites

Mr Beens posted:Is there any known safe way of boosting cash and exp by a bit? If you can stand it, go google Pirate Perfection. I suggest using a throwaway e-mail account to get a download, and to delete the media folder as it is the most loving unnecessarily bloated trainer with all sorts of sound effects. Yes, I really need to hear Duke Nukem's voice whenever I do poo poo. Oh, and then delete that poo poo as soon as you're done with it. That being said, I'd honestly say either level up to 100 legit your first time or skip the ground. A middle-ground setup just sounds like you're going to give yourself a few levels, play a bit, realize how loving bad the grind is, and then jump yourself to V-100 just fast enough to get you the achievements. Seriously, you're not even halfway at 60, the halfway point is 90 (0-90 is the same amount of experience as 90-100).

Not by percentages or whatever. Best thing you could do is just have a LUA hook set up that gives you a fairly reasonable amount of XP (say, 250k) per button press, and then click that every time you're about to complete a big heist. There are LUA hook packages that aren't fully blown trainers - I have one that I just configure with a .yml file to point specific F-keys to specific lua scripts, which then just run every time I hit F8 or whatever. I have control over the lua scripts, so I can basically do whatever I want with it.

No poo poo the game's boring, you have every tier bonus combined.

There's a difference between giving yourself 256 skill points and giving yourself the proper maximum of 120. The 5% less skill bonus only affects how many points it takes to get to the next tier of skills as far as I can tell. Honestly, the only difference I can tell between 100 and V-100 is I have the shades of +1 Douche, I hold a burning card of +5 Pretention, some other masks of varying quality, and some achievements. I still have the same number of skill points and go down like any other Tech-Forcer whenever a Cloaker gets a drop on me. I'm not going to start raining bags of coke from the sky or 100 medbags something like that. Besides, it's not like I'm going out of my way to harass you, I mainly play with my friends and all of us were tired of the grind. We wanted to play the maps for fun, not because doing X, Y or Z gave us the best exp payout.
