I mean, it was (is?) a Steam top seller for years, and frequently sold so hard on sales that Steam runs out of keys. Why would they waste money making another game until they we're sure that vein was drying up?

Man I better not have shot 50 cops in the face with that gold revolver for nothing! BTW if you drive up to the car of cops that are shooting you and running around avoiding your shots, they will both get back in the front seat and sit there patiently waiting for their headshot.

Another big discovery for me: when you open the contacts, don't move up or down to get to Lester or Mors Mutual - twice left on the D-Pad (or whatever it is on Xbox/PC) brings up Lester and once puts you within one move of your mechanic and insurance. Now if they would just put lose wanted level on the first option so I don't put a bounty on some poor shmoe clicking X too fast.

I stuck with him long enough to steal the Armored Kuruma. It took 3 tries because he kept using the "bazooka" to kill the Koreans and blowing up the car we needed. On our final run he kept running back to get his car and drive in even though we were across the street from the parking garage and he kept crashing repeatedly trying to drive through the parking garage, so I was able to run up the stairs and kill everyone myself just in time for him to reach the top floor and jump in.

Then I got to feel really cool drifting around the pillars and revving the engine and I need to get around to buying the car for myself.

So we have the pfuster neone' today. It's electric, it's in sports. It's 1.5mil. It goes fast quickly, so is probably good for the same thing as the cyclone: contact races with catchup and slipstream on.

I blocked the highway with my MOC, right outside the Chumash bunker. Climbed up on top to let a bunch of cars get built up, then I'd blast em on both sides of traffic. When the traffic clears you can just jump into the bunker and back out to reset the traffic

I took maybe a week total to get the 50 headshots with the revolver? I just kept using it on missions where I could afford to and occasionally headshotting passing civilians. No need to stress over getting $250,000 right goddamn now.

What's the best option for an assault rifle? It feels like the Bullpup Rifle is a little on the weak side but I can't tell if that's to balance it being available at all levels or if the game is just that bullet spongey. Also is that stockless AK that you can do drive-bys with any good?

First off, you need a Bunker property before you can even buy a MOC truck
The MOC gets stored in your bunker location. You can either go there get in and drive out, or summon it to near where you are through the Menu
I think the ideal configuration when you buy it is to go with the Command Center and Vehicle/Weapon Workshop - they might be named a little different. You could also buy a sleeping quarters if you want to sleep in your truck like a hobo, or a vehicle storage bay, so that you can leave a vehicle stored in there. Both of those options seem pretty lame

1. special vehicle missions, as far as I know, these can only be launched from the MOC. These are the jobs to unlock trade prices on the vehicles that came out with bunkers (oppressor and such).
2. If you do any weapon research and unlock the new liverys and weapons for vehicles, then you *need* a MOC or Avenger in order to buy these upgrade. Weaponized vehicles cannot be modified at LS Customs/bennys/office garages/etc
Without a MOC or avenger, you can still buy those vehicles, but you have no way to modify them from stock, and they'll cost full price

3. When doing research unlocks, youll also unlock new ammo types, scopes, poo poo like that... Inside your MOC or avenger is where you find the work bench needed to first upgrade your guns to MK II, and then to modify them with the new scopes, ammo, etc
Without a MOC or avenger, youll have no way to upgrade weapons beyond what Ammunation offers


For actual gameplay benefits, there's a couple of the VIP modes where you need to drive a rig and trailer. This is a much better truck then what you find on the road
Plus its fun to drive around and wreck poo poo in this

I'm honestly finding it more fun to work slowly through each update's content and build up to the Doomsday Heist and owning a facility instead of just buying Shark Cards and skipping straight to powergaming.

The MOC rig is a beast itself. It's nearly bulletproof, fast as hell, and takes 20 rockets to blow up. It's probably one of the best ways to kill idiots with an oppressor because they can't kill it with a single load of rockets, and at some point they have to hit the ground, at that point you own them.

It's also hilarious to park the trailer across the return marker for the cheap i/e warehouse or use it to lock people in things.

The important part of the Personal Storage Bay is Return to Storage, which replenishes limited ammo including missiles. It's a nice place to keep your oppressor/vigilante to keep them topped off as well as available when your mechanic is on break.

With a new electric car on the block, I wanted to share my love of the Coil Voltic for just having a little chill time out in the country.


This really is a gorgeous game, makes me hopeful for the new red dead.

I had a couple nice experiences just flipping around the radio, I tried to do my best to recreate the experience with the audio here:

If life in the big city is getting you down, you should spend a little time in the coil. Relax, you're a millionaire with garages full of great cars, take a moment to stop and smell the roses. You might find a little waterfall you never knew was there. You might even forget you're in a car... until your drat assistant calls.

You guys were headshotting NPCs with that revolver? Me and my buddies just decided gently caress it and had a 10 minute open world deathmatch where we kept shooting each other until we all had that complete. Was fun, it's a good revolver.

For all guns just swap your targeting to simple and put the dot over the head. You'll want to be doing that when you start Doomsday because everything has ultra armor and superweapons but almost everything dies to one headshot. On complex aim I found the best thing was the loving UZI of all things but with simple aim anything is about that good.

Who has time to aim? I just use the special carbine, let it auto-aim, then flick the joystick slightly up as I fire. The burst tracks right through their head if they aren't moving sideways relative to you. The only issue is juggernaughts and tear gas pretty much neuters them.

Ughh.

So, after hours and hours of crate grinding (I watch Netflix at the same time) I finally get a rare crate offer. This is it - the sixth one, for me it's the big diamond. I have the other five all lined up beautifully in a small warehouse. Session sweep. Retrieve crate. Done. While basking in the beauty of my trophy room, my game crashes. Freezes. I can't even task-out. Hard reboot. Return to game, return to warehouse. The final crate is now a common crate. and a crate on the top row has been replaced with a duplicate golden minigun. No diamond.

Very dejected me plays a doomsday heist prep/setup with friends.

Return to the warehouse, and now a second crate on the top row is the diamond, but i can't look at it up there. So I have an oddity - 7 rare crates in the warehouse, which I think isn't supposed to happen, but the display of my trophies is ruined.

I'll let it sit for a night in case the system wants to sort it out, but I suspect that won't happen and I'll sell them off and start over.
