My tethers kept snapping and I'd hop out to fix it and accidentally hit the exit vehicle button and watch as my helicopter and boat plummet to the ground. The respawn timer is really a pain in the rear end. If you've gone to the trouble to upgrade everything the timer should go away or be like 5 mins, unless it is and it's just bugged right now which wouldn't really surprise me. As it is now, 30 mins is ridiculous, yeah I can just go around and blow poo poo up for half an hour but I wanna just endlessly spawn helicopters.

The last upgrade in the aerial challenge tree removes the respawn timer on helicopters and planes. Maybe you didn't activate it? It definitely works.

You can haul the Squalo even using the early-game transport helicopter that has no guns. It's not easy but it's how I did it. I later went back and did it again using the cargo jet just to see if I could. That worked fine too! Hardest part was landing it on a beach near a garage. In retrospect, it would have been way more badass to slingshot it out of the plane from high altitude anyway.Knifegrab posted:No NPC's, No destruction, everything feels empty. Good progress though.

Regarding the Squalo and how to get it to a garage - I've commented about this before but I think there has to be some difference with framerate or console or PC or something because nothing adds up. For some people it's easy as poo poo and for others it's loving nightmarish. I tried like 10 times in a row doing this : Turmoil posted:There's one that spawns in a lake in the North East in Litore Torto. It's the lake with the ruins in it. I drove it onto the land on the Eastern side of the lake and then grappled it up the hill a bit. Once up there I grappled it through the forest for a little bit where it starts to slope down the mountain. This is where the wild ride begins. When it started to slide down, I jumped in and rode it down the side of the mountain into the sea and got over 2 km in Land Ho! during the process. Each time it blew up just before going into the sea. Others said just drag it with tethers up to the garage up the hill at the other spawn point. Each time I tried that it started smoking and blew the gently caress up 300 or so meters away from the garage, without ever hitting a car. The funny thing is that the Squalo loving SUCKS for boat challenges. It's too heavy. As someone else said, just use the normal cigarette boat with nitrous 2.

Could a kind soul on PS4 add me and call me out on a feat (preferably on something non-combat, like wingsuit time)? That and a last few gears are all that's left to 100%. PSN id is choichoi42. Will reciprocate if needed. Many thanks. Also, for the Squalo: I used the heaviest heli to airlift it from the easternmost inland lake, but even with six maxed-strength cables I couldn't hold it. I was able to move it over the high ground directly to the south-east, keeping low as I headed towards the coast and when the cables snapped it slid all the way downhill into the sea, and I was able to drive it to a garage from there.

It was me that said that, and I said it before I had ever driven the Squalo. I stand by my desicion though, The standard speedboat with Nitro 2 is better for nearly every race. A couple of the more open races with few tight turns might be faster in the Squalo but if you're trying to be nimble, the Squalo is not what you want.

Any idea where the challenges for the tether upgrades are? I've liberated a ton of settlements, but never have found any... Does it unlock at a certain part of the story?

I stood on top of the Squalo and tethered the logo at the front and kept retethering ahead of me and pulling down the road, essentially "driving" it all the way to the nearest marina. The line of cars behind me on the mountain pass was hilarious.

Turmoil posted:I'm playing on the PC. I know when I took it almost straight East from the lake it went down a very rocky hill and was on fire when it finally hit the water. Not true, there's one on the starting peninsula and one on the second area too. They unlock when you liberate certain bases I think. Look for a grappling hook logo. (The icons in the gear mods screen match the icons for the challenges on the map) Also, I think the Squalo recovery is one of the coolest parts of the game, because everyone is doing the exact same thing, but finding totally different ways of doing it. And there is no "boring, ordinary way", because of where it spawns. It's a lovely piece of design. The Weimariner jeep is similar, but much easier since most helicopters can lift it.

I made it through most of the story without upgrading them. After I did the 2X and increased strength I was a wave of destruction with them.

If it's happening when you're trying to grapple onto and hijack an enemy vehicle, you're pressing the hijack button too early and flipping yourself into the wingsuit while grappling in.

You do a lot from a nearby mountaintop that's within sniper rifle range of a bunch of chaos objects, but (barely) outside bavarium nuke aggro range. I think it's where you spawn if you die inside the base. Then you do a lot from underneath the base, where the base itself shields you from the nuke launches. Then you do a few suicide runs on the surface before going to get a bomber and doing runs on the base with big run-ups (if you turn too soon to make another run you lose too much speed and you are hit by a bavarium nuke).

Someone else scooted around in the parachute above the base, guiding the nukes and bombing itself to kingdom come.

Help, gentlegoons. The game ran the very first time I launched it perfectly, no problems. Now every time I launch it, it hangs on 'Performing Online Login'. Verifying Steam cache doesn't help. Updating drivers doesn't help. Blocking the Executable in firewall doesn't help. I'm stumped!

Yeah, it was pretty much just swoop in, hope you dodge a nuke, and cling to a resource, for the most part, but for anything on the landing strips, I ran in and rained hell upon it with the hydra. Also, I really hate wingsuit challenges because I am bad with it. Is there anything really..worth it from those? And, why the hell are the supercharged car challenges so bad

Wingsuit challenges were some of the funnest parts of the game for me. Alhough there is a really noticiable difficulty jump were it goes from "hey you're still learning this, have some nice high open courses" to "gently caress you, we're going to try and murder you now, fly through this tiny-rear end gap 3 inches from the ground AND THEN DODGE THIS TREE" It's genuinely brilliant.

The first couple of times I tried the wingsuit challenges I failed miserably and was thinking "oh jeez there's no way, this is going to suuuucckkk", but I gave it another few tries and everything just clicked into place, and eventually got five gears on all but three or four of them (and which I probably could five gear if I kept trying). As others have said, small incremental tapping movements is key. Also I never used the ground grapple to accelerate in the challenges unless it was absolutely necessary or if I had enough space between the goals, because often it would throw me off just enough to miss the next bullseye. And regarding perfect bullseyes, you can spare missing a couple-few of them on the majority of courses but there are a number of them which require that you get all of them perfect.

Well I finished the story over the New Years weekend. I had great fun and wish there was more. I'll probably start a new game to get the achievements I missed (Vehicle-only, Grappling Only and Five-Star Clear). Before I do that I'd like to get all the vehicles into the garage. The only ones I'm missing are the semi, the super-rare speedboat and the vintage jeep. I saw the semi parked near the start of the last mission but when I came back afterwards it was gone.

Yeah I feel like there's only like... two wingsuit courses that really require you to use the grapple or the brake. Everything else can be 5-geared just using directional controls.

I originally thought I'd never get good at the wingsuit challenges or would at least have to wait until I unlocked more abilities, but the more I played the more I understood it. I know I'm wrong, but the feel of the wingsuit during challenges seems much different from using it around the open world, because it's generally NOT a good idea to grapple during the challenges. You should generally only need slight adjustments left and right, and never pull up more than you need to or you'll lose too much forward momentum. I have yet to find a course where you need to grapple or brake, as they all seem designed that you should have just enough momentum from the initial drop to complete the whole course. Now, as I seek to 5-gear everything for achievements, I'm finding that the wingsuit challenges are actually going easier than the land races. The car mechanics can be so uncontrollable, and drifting around tight corners (gently caress you Mountain Pass Sprint) is a crap shoot. l33t b4c0n fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jan 4, 2016 |

The key to wingsuit challenges is getting used to the course first. Just get down the hill every time, then working on your corrections to start hitting the center. You will get better because you spend more time doing wingsuiting and you will also start to get a muscle memory for how to correct.
