I'm getting a weird rear end issue where after I was given a chance to change my character's appearance (which I modified) it will be the original appearance in mission mode but the changed version in free roam. Is this a known thing?

Is anyone else using a DS4 for this? I know at one point I was able to use it to fly planes but lately I've been unable to get it to work for some reason. I use Xinput Mapper (version 1.22 I think?) and I know the ds4 is reading because I tested in Dark Souls 2 and also when I press the the ps4 home button it shows an xbox controller logo. Any ideas?

The Kuruma is ridiculously strong. You'll be able to solo pretty much anything as long as you're able to stay in your car. It's practically a tank.

also if you want something with more anti-explosive armor get an Insurgent, it will literally take a rocket point blank. I don't remember how many it can take. The windows are really susceptible to getting you killed though, so it's a pro and con situation vs the kuruma

As long as you're below the light towers, while you're over the prison, you're good as far as i can tell.

Also, rashovsky won't get in anything until all the dudes are dead, i guess. i can land the heli in the prison right beside him during the firefight, and he just keeps shooting the guys instead of leaving.

still, using the heli to take out noose makes it a super easy job.

We've never tried that because "you get shot down"

So how to people go about actually getting together and gunning down any fool who isn't us? Hell I'm honestly at a loss at what to do in general starting out. Still really new to the game (rank 4) and just got into LLJK. Anyone I try to fight instantly blows me up.

Though somewhat funny thing, noticed one of our own near someone who killed him a few times, go to back him up, he shoots at me and I'm forced to retreat as said guy guns him down. :ohdear: I then die instantly after whiffing 2 near point blank shots. :downsgun:

e; - ^ oh yeah I guess mumble is a thing.

when you reach a higher level you get grenades and remote bombs, it's not terribly high. A lot of people have this car

which makes you nigh impervious to bullets so if you see one with those windows your odds of killing the driver are very slim (not impossible but slim)

keep in mind if you blow up someone's personal car and it is insured, you will have to pay for it, which is a real bitch esp in the beginning when you are saving money. There's an indirect way to blow up their cars which wont charge you but it requires having access to it bc they arent around to drive it. You put another car next to it and light it on fire.

There's also a workaround to getting weapons you arent high enough level to buy. If you collect them in Survival or any deathmatch type games they will let you keep it for the duration of your session.

the "injured" facial expression is unexpectedly useful to make you look inbred
in a way a wood panelled station wagon is more practical because it's got 4 seats but can't compete with a duneloader with a load of junk in the back for having "the look"

as i thought though, levelling a new character is a completely pointless hardship and about all alts are good for is different player profiles on the same account

I'm sorry, but you're now the Thomas Friedman of computer game opinions.

On that note, I just managed to complete Low Flying with SILVER by following the advice someone posted to feather the air brake. It was a zen moment. Of course, it was followed immediately by Collect Flags and gently caress that poo poo. :suicide:

For flags I generally followed a circular pattern, ensuring to collect the ones along the rim, sorta spiralling towards the center of the city. The tough part is gathering all the flags on the same levels since the ones on the ground will have you dodging skyscrapers. Bronze is actually easy enough because you aren't timed, just gotta get them all. Eventually it will click if you are doing it enough times for that gold
