So do trucks no longer flip dramatically when you snipe the driver, or am I just unlucky? That was so much fun in FC3 to pull off.
Unlucky. I pulled off a gorgeous long-wing-shot with the M79 earlier, hitting a courier on a bridge and ending him into the air for TWO full front-flips.

I've got a glitch on ps4. My karma is level 7 and won't move. It says I gain or lose it but the there's no white line anymore.

Sounds like what happens when it locks at 8 but happened right when I hit 7.

Just glad it happened after I got the gun at 6 frankly.
I got this same thing and didn't notice until FIVE karma levels later. It doesn't affect anything except skill and achievement unlocks (so I restarted.)

Is this after the mission or after the endgame? In the 360 version I've been all over the village and still haven't found him.
He's on the cliff next to the rightmost ATV when you come out of the fast-travel house in Banashur iirc, in a big cage which is always there - immediately after the mission is finished (he had two guards as well). In my current game he somehow vanished and had no guards (maybe he got killed somehow while I was loving around elsewhere) but when I walked over and jumped on top of the cage, I could hear his daughter's ringtone playing before I wingsuited away. :smith:

What's the deal with getting credit for Longinus quests? It says I have to do one of his missions to unlock one of the skills, and as far as I can tell I've done two. The first one where you meet him (can't remember what it was) and the second one where you have to get the 4 shipments and helicopter in the snowstorm conditions. But the games registers me as having zero Longinus missions under the progress bar.

You used to be able to snipe drivers with a rifle and they'd careen off to the side, flip over, and everyone inside the truck would bite it. Now they just calmly get out, do a Chinese fire drill, then keep on truckin'. :smith:

Neither of those are technically L quests, since they're story related. Just seek him oout once more, his missions are pretty short.

The Longinus quests for the unlock are the ones where you help him make amends for past sins. He sends you off to follow couriers with keys to vaults containing blood diamonds

Interesting bit of trivia: if you allow NPCs to shoot unique animals to death you still seem to gain full credit for mission completion. I'm not sure if it's due to the weapon they're wielding or not (I suspect it doesn't matter,) however, I just went out to take down Sky Tiger and ran out of ammo in my bushmaster, and then ran in circles while the lone NPC Golden Path militia stood there gunning it down with an AK-47. Quest complete!

If you kill them hard enough they're still capable of doing that. I do that pretty often with the big trucks, and I've shot a couple drivers out of those and had the empty truck careen off and kill golden path/coop partners. Jeeps are a bit harder to do.

I ground that poo poo out of getting to level 10 playing match after match of user-created battles. All I have to say is gently caress honey badgers. They seem to be several orders of magnitude harder in the arena than they are in the wild.

Also, I'll be around the rest of the evening if anyone wants to play some coop. LobsterPuppy on uplay, PantslessWithWolves on Steam.

You may have chased in a truck, I chased in a gyrocopter and blew him up about 100 yards down the road. Also got hit by a RPG immediately after.

I think you have to go to Steam, right click the game, view cd keys, copy the dlc key, and then find the redeem code button in uplay(in the fc4 menu click dlc and it should be there..). I had to do something similair yesterday to get it to unlock dlc for AC4.

It seems to me that the only way of knowing in-game is to overhear the Golden Path members talk about them. I came across the dialogue after idling in a newly-toppled fortress by which they mention their disdain for their "falseness". The inconsequential dialogue in this game is surprisingly meaty and somewhat interesting, if not worth a slight chuckle.

Is there actually any difference between the .700 Nitro and the Elephant Gun?

Also this game needs a hatchet/tomahawk instead of just a knife.

Functionally you can't put a sight on the elephant gun. So it's a bit worse.

Don't know about stats. It's real annoying you can't compare across catagories.

As a signature it probably has some decent bonuses, the Predator rifle has a big damage boost to counter having a suppressor for instance, and the Driller is just laughably powerful compared to the normal machine gu it's based on.

If you pick up a new weapon you haven't had in your inventory before, dropped by a slain foe or friend, is picking it up and then dropping it again in favor of the weapon you had equipped before enough to then have access to it in the future, or do you have to carry it all the way to a store or sherpa?

For anyone interested in "easy mode" hunting of rhinos, doing it while riding an elephant seems by far the easiest way. You can get up close and personal without the rhino charging or harming you, and you can pretty much use any weapon you like, I used the Elephant Gun and it worked out pretty well.

I didn't try actually charging or attacking the rhinos with the elephant itself so I don't know if that works.

I kinda wish there was a difficulty setting in between normal and hard. On normal nothing really poses a threat to your survival and most enemy troops collapse when you look at them disapprovingly. On hard you're still pretty durable but it is kinda tedious to have to use syringes or first aid after every grazing shot and every stupid animal attack. It's not really harder, just more tedious in a different way. (Though at least the enemy troops can take one or two bullets more.)
