Between this and Origins it seems like Ubi is down with making checklist stuff great again. The prepper stashes are the most checklisty thing and every single one of them that I've done has been cool

Wolverines have super thick hides and ludicrously powerful jaws and can fight off small bears. You should be afraid of them. :colbert:

The featured sniper rifle and it's normal equivalent (because I can't remember the name off-hand, the one that looks more like an anti-tank rifle) one shots almost every animal, and two shots those it can't one shot.

I have the SA-50. I guess that'll do. The other one seems interesting for long range shenanigans due to higher accuracy base stat.

Man PC HDR support in this game is amazing. I have a 1440p 165hz monitor I usually play on PC but I actually prefer using my TV which is 4K and HDR compatibility. I’ll sacrifice frame rates at 60hz for that sweet HDR color.

I wished more PC games supported HDR

Is there any point to using the more expensive scopes on rifles? Other than costing more, I'm not seeing much difference between them (obvious exceptions like reflex scopes aside)

This + the Red/White/Blue AR-15 are my go-to guns.

(Also, you can use arrows with the slingshot. Press U to change ammo types. The rocks can kill people, though!)

I did think it weird that with all the :homebrew: they threw around, they couldn't record two different versions of the parts where people refer to you with a pronoun, especially because "get 'em" and similar things usually sound like "get him" (which a bunch of people in the comments to that thread seemingly didn't even realize)

I would do this if there was a better way to track my progress than

1.) look up what the original records were for each region
2.) teleport to somewhere with the current records on the wall and figure out which ones are mine and which aren't

since I can't be assed to actually write my poo poo down. I don't see why it can't keep track of it for me in a menu somewhere, like the inventory one or something.

As far as guns for hire, I've decided that Jess is my bro. I've been bringing her everywhere with me. She is super useful with the bow since she can one shot some enemies with her bow that I can't with mine (or at least I haven't figured out how) and she's accurate as hell with hunting animals that are running away. Her dialogue once you get past her initial deep dark scary past isn't bad, she either swears or just says minor stuff. It's not a big joke like most of the other human people.

I call in air support when I need it which is pretty rare and sometimes I bring one of the animals but they get knocked out about 5x as much as Jess does. I'm most likely to bring the dogge because of his ability to tag people. I love the bear and the cougar but they just get their rear end killed too much.

Jess does too but it's usually not in the middle of everyone so I can revive her pretty easily, and I bought the skill to get her back faster anyways.

I have like 95% of the places just from doing other poo poo. You'll either run past them, see a sign, or pick up a magazine that points them out. But maybe he used a guide I dunno - I probably will for a couple spots I don't have.

I don't know what you're doing to get Peaches killed. Every time I bring her, she is the terror that stalks in the night and usually kills dudes I don't even know exist yet. I think I've had to revive her exactly one time.

Sharky is a dumb motherfucker who likes to run straight towards the place I just threw a grenade.

Jess isn't as useful at one-shotting distant enemies as Grace imo and Grace has better banter.

If you bring Sharky and Jess together, every literal five seconds Sharky will go "AH JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW JESS YOU'RE GOOD AT KILLIN PEOPLE AND AH RESPECT THAT"

I haven't tried Grace/Jess yet but it occurs to me that team would be pretty good, and hopefully Grace makes fun of Slipknot McBowalot

Nick is just OP in every way and is a cool dude and is my friendo

I don't really know - she just kind of does :shrug:

Grace and Jess have kind of a tie for solo banter. Jess seems to chat about random poo poo like global warming or whatever more, and I guess I just like the bow aesthetic. But she's a great choice, I did the whole first half of the game with Grace and Boomer.

Sharky will hit on anyone up to and including his aunt. It's hilarious, actually, especially when he's reading his poems that he wrote about her to her.

Hurk and Sharky have some fun conversations but it gets old. Hurk in general gets old real quick and he blows himself up too much.

Nick owns but yeah too OP so I only call him in if I have a specific need.

I've been running around with Jess/Grace for most of the game thus far and it's been ok. I've gotten to the point now where I have a silenced 50cal, the AR-CL (also silenced) and a silenced shotgun w/ dragon rounds for shield enemies.

I've since switched out Jess for Cheeseburger, which if you think about it is really the best name that you could give a pet grizzly bear ever. The fact that the pets don't get in the vehicles with you is a tragedy. If Cheeseburger could somehow fit on an ATV then this game would be #1 GOTY.

I started in John's area and just cleared it out, now I'm probably going to go head over to Faith's area when I pick the game up again.

I approached one of the lookout cabins in the mountains and heard a bad guy shout "Time to get outta here!" right as I crested the rocks. He jumped on an ATV, raced around the corner at full speed and collided head on with a Whitetail member coming the other way on another ATV. Both dead.

I got taken down by a pack of those stupid zombie wolves and fuckin' Cheeseburger revived me. I love Cheeseburger, he just trucks down the highway at 55MPH without a care in the world.

I really miss firing that grenade launcher out of the gyrocopter in 4. Haven't found a similar mechanism yet.

I wouldn't know that there's evading to dodge attacks and melee blocking with your fists out if a loading tooltip didn't tell me. The game makes out as if there was a bareknuckle fighting minigame to utilise the feature.

Meanwhile with a shovel it's throw the shovel, hold down fire to lunge forward and backpedal from enemies so they don't pistol whip you.

The multiplayer deathmatch system in Arcade is impressively awful. Let's review

- Infinite ammo for all guns.
- Infinite grenades
- Randomly chosen community maps
- Completely useless silencers, since there is no marking system or minimap to reveal you and they aren't totally silent.
- Options to use high damage weapons like sniper rifles, but since everyone dies instantly to a shot to the head it's more effective to just spray bullets in the general direction of their head until you hit the mark.
- Did I mention infinite grenades? It seems like once a match someone remembers that fact and then the game turns into the Battle of the Somme.

It's like they were trying to make the worst game ever.
