It turns out that the mules are a bunch of cream puffs. Tomato cans. I was so terrified of them at first, they were chasing me in a truck and honking at me like I was Forrest Gump. Then after I got over a ravine to safety they kept pacing back and forth in that truck and honking, like a vicious goose on the prowl

I don’t know if I’m the only one that didn’t notice this, but I just realized that if you rest your finger on the touchpad while you are looking at the map, you can use the gyro and tilt the controller to pivot it, giving you a much better view of the topography.

There is a tool tip right on the map that says this.

Although I really can't blame people for missing it. The map, like most of the menu systems in this game is super cluttered and the functionality is unintuitive at best.

I ran from mules once. Now I just beat the absolute hell out of them, pick my stuff back up, pick their stuff back up, then slowly waddle to the nearest drop off with 200kgs of semen and pizzas strapped to my back.

Also lol at (chapter 8 spoilers) Heartman's office being lit exactly like a NWR movie, and the "do you want to see Heartman's heart-shaped heart" line. I love this game so much.

It was mentioned earlier but the thread moves kinda fast right now: Can areas be cleared of BTs and does doing so affect other players? It'd be cool to help clear a big well-trafficked area and make it easier for others.

Also does the bola put down MULES and BTs for good or is it a temporary stun?

They come back

And if the mules are still conscious they'll get out of the bola eventually, sometimes they'll get knocked out from the fall though. Or you can just run up to them and kick them

Killed a collector or running from it clears the area of BTs for awhile

Temporary. After stunning a Mule a single kick will knock them out for good.

MULEs also get knocked out instantly if you bola them while they're standing in water, they just fall in the water and... not drown, they don't die, but they certainly don't enjoy the experience.

edit: Speaking of MULEs again, someone may have mentioned this recently upthread but I just got a loading screen tip that let me know that clearing MULE camps by knocking them all out gets rid of the orange map grid and causes friendly porters to start hanging out in the area. So if you want more cool hiker pals, beat the poo poo outta those MULEs. :black101:

Yes, grab the gear from private locker and head east. On the map, there is a valley that should lead you out of the mountains. Don't do what I did, and skip that valley and then spend 30 mins trying to find the random terrain that would lead me over.

I can't even tell if this is satire, that's how absurd this game can be at times.

My one criticism thus far is that I'm still unlocking mechanics that I didn't even know existed way past the point they should have been brought up. Like I just resolved the junk dealer's questline and just got the ability to add grenade and spare batteries slots to my backpack, a thing I wanted since the beginning but didn't think they put in. What other mechanics might I unlock way too late? Some kind of weapon holster? The ability to change Sam's ugly blue jumpsuit? Phantom cigars?

Could you give me a chapter number for when you get customization for your suit? I do like how the game continually unlocks QOL things, it makes upgrades meaningful, but just curious.

As for recent stories, in chapter 3 I stole a MULE truck and it was a trusty steed through two good standard order runs before it died not twenty feet from chiral network coverage. I just wish I could have given it a good funeral :(

I think its like chapter 1? As soon as you get the private room you can look at your suit on the rack and customize it, I believe. If not then then not long after that

you can't change your suit color i don't think. the story picks your color.

speaking of story, this plot has gone full anime. i'm enjoying the ridiculousness of it but he's losing his message.

I want to know when you can change the color of the suit, I really like the look of the light grey suit he wears at the very beginning.

Here's a Tim Rogers tip video btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fet0ujspOIg

Also, I completely missed the Die Hardman briefing that tells you about the mission people have mentioned at the end of chapter 3, delivering something to Fragile, and the codec call with Fragile, because I was listening to a Youtube video and couldn't find the volume. What is it, and how can I avoid triggering it? I'm trying to chill here in episode 3 for a bit longer and I haven't hosed up so far and for no real good reason, I just want to keep up the void out-less run I have so far, plus I just don't wanna mess up and do whatever it is that a few posters on the last page did, it sounds bad.

You'll get a special cutscene when you accept the mission we're talking about, believe me when I say the game makes it very clear this delivery is different than the rest so far as soon as it's in your hands. However: It starts from the port waystation (the first one you unlock in the second region) so just don't accept any plot deliveries from there if you want to keep avoiding it.

In my very first successful theft of a MULE truck I loaded it up with three different order hauls and an absurd amount of materials and then immediately panicked in the BT area east of the weather station and drove it right over a cliff. What followed was a frenzied bid to throw up a timefall shelter to try and salvage what was left while also fighting off a nearby BT that was lingering around. It owned and I completed every one of those deliveries, even if a couple packages were like 70% damaged :waycool:
