Also, how the gently caress do you even complete tier 1 gun range

Take it slowly and always aim for the red spot on the head, tap for each shot and only fire as many shots into a target as you need to drop it. Pistol takes 1 shot, SMG takes 3, the rifles take 5, the MG takes 10, and sniper takes 1. As long as you keep up the multiplier it should be fine. I mean I'm garbage and I'm pulling it off.

edit: and keep firing until you can't fire any more. You still earn points after the last countdown beep

On top of that, for auto weapons (especially machine gun) don't bother trying to go for the head at the farthest distance go for the chest so you can rail off enough bullets as possible and only go for the head at close range.

Level 1 gives you gold/platinum skins for the new guns, and level 2 lets you carry 5 more of every throwable explosive (so 30 grenades/stickies, 15 pipebombs, 10 proxies).

Not sure about level 3, but I'm, sure someone has it.

the answer is always be headshotting. Pistol targets take 1 hit to drop, SMG takes 3, AR takes 5, etc... Combat MG takes 10.

upgrade your weapons first, count your hits. I don't think the AR one is reasonable at level 3 without the Mk 2.

In my opinion pistol is the least forgiving, AR short second. Everything else is okay once you get the rhythm down of how long to hold the trigger for a burst on the head. and always keep firing until it literally locks you out - you can get a few more shots in even after the timer hits 0:00 and that is occasionally the margin of victory. I won at least 2 of the level 3 challenges by 5 points.

Yep, this works. No upkeep for biker businesses if you shut them down. Same with gunrunning from what I understand. Bonus for gunrunning, though - Agent 14 is so, so much more tolerable than Lester.


also as a quick summary for anyone who hasn't gotten into it, it's basically what you would expect from seeing what CEO, Biker, and Import/Export were like. Get supplies, turn them into research (for new things to spend money on) or weapon crates (to sell) and doing x number of resupply and/or sell missions unlocks new Securoserv vehicle missions v2.0 to get discounts on the new poo poo. Nothing really groundbreaking mechanically here.

the 'nice' thing is you can combo it with import/export or crates or vip work or biker businesses or whatever so you at least have lots of concurrent money timers running. research goes pretty fast if you exclusively select research instead of splitting research/manufacturing so you could make your money with i/e and sink it into research in the bunker. Might be the best idea for cash-strapped players, not sure.

Pretty sure that's wrong.

You still pay a minor upkeep, and you still get continual cell phone calls from the rear end in a top hat about "HEY, THERE'S NO DRUG PRODUCTS!!!!" every 5 minutes.

Yes, even if you shut down the business. That is not the same as selling it.

I believe there is an upkeep for biker businesses even if you shut them down. Its just much less. I've heard other people say there is too.

But regardless, you still get cell phone calls about how there's no supply, which is maddening.

Maybe if you have one shut down and one not, it doesn't work? I shut down my weed farm, I double and triple checked it. He calls me about both of my properties one after the other.

I have another open which I'm using to make money now to save up for gunrunning stuff, but the other is definitely shut down and I only want one.

I got a call from him the other night complaining about the coke factory having no supplies and I haven't had my MC active for ages. Most of the time when NPC's try call me I decline the call (just like in real life yay) unless it's Lester and his heist thing because he is one persistent motherfucker if you don't answer and hang up immediately.

Like Icedude said, custom tints are available right from the start. You can also combine them with the unlockable camo patterns to make some truly ridiculous stuff:






Also, a fun little detail: If you put the Tracer mag on your weapon, the tracers it fires are the color of whatever tint you have applied. The only downside is, it severely limits your ammo capacity for that gun, which is a bit silly considering the tracer rounds aren't exactly amazing, they're basically just there for flash. They're fun though :v:

It appears to be random. I didn't get the ballistic gear and explosive sniper rifle ammo until my last 3.

The limits on the new ammo are loving terrible, and for most part completely takes it out of the game. You can't refill it through the interaction menu, and it doesn't refill when you hit "buy all ammo", you can only refill it in the truck.
