As far as getting Face XP goes, I'm pretty sure you also get a small amount of it whenever you fill up the Face bar.

The cops thanking you for flagging a random bystander for arrest is a rare result, most of the time they just say that they got the wrong suspect and make you do the arrest again assuming it was done during a drug deal.

For future reference, you can also ram straight forward instead of trying to do it from the side.

The first Cop upgrade you got was Action Dismount which lets you leap out of cars when you're armed in slow motion and do cool stuff when shooting at other cars that way, not an upgrade that lets you disarm people more easily which I'm not even sure exists.

The shoulder tackle when armed with an assault rifle is not a counter, it's the basic melee attack: all counters when armed with either guns or melee weapons become dodges instead.

Driving around with the siren on doesn't make cars get out of your way per se, but every car in a certain radius stops when you drive close to them.

Another great thing about Surprise Exchange is that you can follow it up with instant knockdown which you can do by doubletapping grab when behind someone.

You can also fail the karaoke segment if you get a really low score doing it and get a funny failure message out of it, and you should also try doing a jumpkick on a hostile target when armed with a handgun, although I'm not entirely sure if the alternate attack only works when you get the slowmo followup upgrade.


On the other hand, I don't recall being able to disarm cops, any attempts to do so just ended with me either being pushed away or handcuffed, maybe they added that option in one of the updates.

I'm at work on my phone, so I can't really respond to everything I want to right now, but I can say that as far as I remember it's something like the cop has to have his weapon out and be off guard- this might include firing at you, and definitely means while they're staggering from an attack. That's just what I remember, mind.

Yeah, I gave it another try earlier and it seems to work as it should now, their handcuffing grabs tend to have too much priority.

I really hope you show off the Wing Chun Master outfit, along with the special combos it gives.

What would those be? Every wiki, website and FAQ seems to make it a point to be as halfassed as possible when it comes to actually listing any new features any outfits might have that's not outright listed as a set bonus, the only one I know about that I don't have myself is that one of them has a rapid punch combo as a replacement for the jumping spinkick.

That's the one thing I hate the most about the story DLC, both of them screw you out of random upgrades even if everyone would've gotten them in the main game ages ago.

At least most of the unique gameplay features in Snake carry over into the main game one way or another, but all of the fun stuff in Nightmare is restricted to it even if it does make sense.

Most of the Sun Wukong outfit's staff attacks can be chained together and it also replaces the initial high kick heavy attack with a thrust.

The full altered movelist is somewhere along these lines:

I'm not really convinced of Wei's doctor skills based on this, he's a lot more convincing when he's demonstrating his impromptu chiropratic skills on everyone by realigning their spines against the backs of those numerous sofas.
