Should have made the hair flop over to see a horrible bald spot when you run.

Also the new Grenade Launcher seems to have really lovely aim from the sights. I always miss the snipers for miles trying to aim at them unless they're on a very easy to hit ledge.

Its the new packages. They'll just be these weird colored straps that look like medals or a box with some color on it. If you have the DLC it unlocks stuff, but I don't think you can get XP or maybe even find it without the DLC maybe?

There are at least 2 or three locations on each day. Rats Day 2 it's been reported on the kitchen counter in one of the apartments, and occupying the same space as a safe spawn (folks could still pick it up, though).

Yeah, for a third location on Rats 1: On top of the microwave in the kitchen.

Is the anarchist perk deck good? I'm tempted to buy the DLC for it. Not sure what else I want. Maybe the China puff? Car/AK for the DMR mods? I usually use an ICTV and shotguns, but I want to branch out.

What do people do for Mayhem/DW/1D primaries if not DMRs? A sniper rifle? Shotguns?

John Murdoch

You can roll with all sorts of stuff on MH/DW, 1D much less so but even that isn't necessarily as restrictive as people think. Instead of a DMR you can just use the M308 and get largely the same performance. IIRC, the only big advantage DMRs have is the ability to use quadstack mags.

My problem with the M308 is the laser sights are misaligned so I miss way too many shots in close range. I'm farming Dozer kills to see if the G3 is different.

I use the Breaker shotgun (Biker pack) or akimbo Interceptors. Thanatos is also a good primary. Alternatively, people still use bows despite the nerf.

Best thing about new update: finally, flashbangs test a player's skill rather than luck.

DMRs can use the hilariously fast speedpull mags from the new DLC.

I think that dmr's are really competitive with the m308 now, due to the fast pull mags.

B) Do you need to do anything for the Trump mask? Or does it just grab your inventory right in the shuriken on boot?

A. The DLC is:
1 a collection of fairly excellent mods (all unlimited), the standouts being:

- Speed-reloading magazines for several weapons that are a straight upgrade almost always,
- Horizontal-spreading barrel extension for shotguns,
- A very nice rangefinder sight and a red dot angled sight for snipers,
- Several mods that used to be only used by enemies.
2 A new, really fun secondary GL called the Arbiter. It does less damage than the China Puff, but loads faster, flies much faster, and has better ammo recovery. Probably garbage on the top difficulties. To unlock it, though, requires completing...
3 4 new side jobs involving finding 2 keys and a case in each of 4 multi-day jobs- Framing Frame, Firestarter, Rats and Big Oil. One item per day (except 2 keys on day 1 Big Oil), mostly pretty easy to find. Also unlocks a fun set of masks and some ok patterns and materials.

B. The Trump and MAGA Trump masks appear in your inventory.

Bug for you, Vox. The Mac-10 reload stat is not accuratly reflecting the reduction with the speed pull mags. (it should be 1.7 or so)

Speaking of, the Speedloaders make some SMG's really loving rediculous. Looking at the mac-10 and the Akimbo Heathers, which have a one second reload from an empty mag, and a sub one second reload from a tactical reload. That seems like it might be useful.

Root cause already reported. Fun fact- the reload stats are based on length of animation.

Stacking all the reload buffing skills (which is probably diminishing returns, to be honest) makes those SMG's absolutly hilarious to watch.

The Hollywood heist, which has been leaking into files for about a year, looks to be in the home stretch, as a bunch of new files are being added in each update, including new cubemaps. It appears to include a raid on a mansion full of movie memorabilia, a dockyard, a lot of fire, and a new weapon based on the pulse rifle from the Alien series. Tony Montana may or may not be co-related to the heist.

It does, I think the odds are the same on all difficulties. You may want to try a lower one in case it causes more safes to spawn.

Yeah it only spawns in small safes, I believe. The huge safe that appears in the Pear, Coffee, or China shops always has a bunch of loose cash, and the locker safe in the back of the convenience store always has a baggable set of jewelry.
