Does completing smuggling missions leave product clutter around the hangar like the office or mc? I kinda think it wouldn't, since I didn't see that happening for the bunker and this seems similar but not completely sure.

On a related note, if I buy a safe for my office, will the piles of money laying around everywhere get cleaned up? This is getting irritating. (Just two more levels until 100. :peanut:)

What does the safe do? How about the gun locker? Are they both just useless decorations?

When buying a hangar, be aware that there's a little coloured line below the decor options. This denotes the colour of the floor choices, so that your cool red star turns hideously orange, for example. It's pretty expensive to correct, too.

Safe reflects your account balance, IIRC, and the gun locker is paying for the privilege of not having specific guns show up in your weapon wheel.

Don't pay for the upgrade if you intend to get the bunker and MOC, because it's included with the truck.

The gun locker is a good quality of life upgrade if you're tired of scrolling through lots of guns you don't use.

It is included with the MOC, but as you say that's waaaay more money than just adding it to the office.

I really don't like how this game basically annoys you into buying everything new. I'm not buying a hangar, Ron, I already have a hydra and that's all I want.

At least Malc shut up about the drat laptop when Ron started calling.

It's at least quick to get rid of the phone calls, I guess. It's not so great when someone calls you at the very start of a mission, literally before your assistant can give you the mission details.

Whens the big rig car show? Do we have enough to re enact the scene from end of Smokey & The Bandit where the truckers line up and the Bandit drives along the top and then they peel off when the cops try to use it?

fakeedit: hell should do this some night for a photo op. Whats the most stuff you can call out at the same time? MOC, a personal vehicle, a pegasus vehicle, and a plane? I don't recall if leaving a car outside the hangar and then leaving in a plane puts the car back to storage so maybe one or the other.

It's not that I hate it. It's that I loathe it.
It's personal plane OR vehicle, but you can still have one of those, a pegasus vehicle, a CEO vehicle and the MOC out at the same time.

e: maybe the AA trailer too? I forget what category that falls under.

The AA trailer is a personal vehicle. you can't have it out at the same time as a personal car or plane.

The game has also gotten super strict about this. You used to have a personal vehicle out with people around, and bring a second one out without the first disappearing. Now as soon as you bring a vehicle out, your last one disappears, no exceptions.

Have they changed something about the Deliver the EMP mission? Suddenly my old order of killing everyone doesn't work anymore. Like, I'll pop the guys working on the car and the scientists behind them will aggro, which definitely didn't happen before. It's like they tightened up the reaction time.

Unless my teammates were loving it up and the game was blaming me instead.

I swear that using a rifle there, even silenced fucks, you. The bullets go through the dudes, hit the truck and other NPCs hear that and alert.

I have had this happen several times with a silenced rifle and never with a silenced 50 pistol or silenced smg.

Or, I may be crazy.

Is the bunker research tree random? I wanna unlock the heavy Tampa Armour dammit, not some bullshit knockoff Versace camo. I'm not even manufacturing anything, I've just shoved everyone over to Research.

And what's this poo poo about bunker security, can Johnny Pubs raid my supplies or is it like the single player "lol ur weedshop is being robbed rite now" deal?

I feel lucky for the tech tree my bunker took, I got all good stuff for like the first 10(opressor rockets, tampa armor, epxlosive snipers, prox mines, etc) then a poo poo load of liverys and then the last few were the alternate mags(full metal, hollow point)

There is a glitch somehow that if you don't like the next unlock, you can force quit out on a specific tick of the research bar(or some voodoo glitch poo poo), and it'll bring a new random item for the next unlock. I'm sure you can google it if ya want to try your luck

Also, the spacebar is how you dive underwater. Learned that.

And there's a thing called "stealth mode". Who knew? (It's left Ctrl, and it's a toggle, so you don't have to wear your hand out.)
