[opaque hazel]

I’ll check doing the camera thank you

[rocky plover]

they can come from different floors as well

[rocky plover]

you're welcome

true but tbh i like taking advantage of them rushing me, that's why sometimes i dont use them, baiting them like free kills xD

[bright relic]

Just saw a clip of the 9 bang exploding someone anyone else had that experience?

[mighty hemlock]

Exploding someone?

[bright relic]

Yea boom

[mighty hemlock]

I think he threw the bang at someone eith a vest, and the guy detonated the vest before the bang went off

[bright relic]

There is explosive vest on the bank map?

[mighty hemlock]

I'm not sure. Saw a clip of someone shooting soemone in the head and that person exploding. On the bank map.

[bright relic]

Damn maybe it’s a mod

[mighty hemlock]

Also very likey

[visual gorge]

Probably the MP7 or P90, both fire cartridges that are already armor-piercing capable, have fast fire-rates and are smol

[austere dove]

is there anyway to get the mk v and flashbang launcher now

[vestal mauve]

What fudds think .45 does to someone

[lilac crow]

i mean i have the flashbang launcher by default

[limpid summit]

Am I able to talk about the endings to ANA here?

[austere dove]

the other one

[limpid summit]

The actual grenade launcher I may or may not have sunk in?

[mighty hemlock]

ANA genuinely might make me throw a brick through my windoe

[kindred juniper]

Can it go through heavy armour?

[mighty hemlock]

4-6 rounds center mass

[lost inlet]

up to lvl3 only.

[little burrow]

how can I hit an artery

[rocky plover]

by shooting limbs, it's based on chance

[little burrow]

do JHP/AP rounds affect the chances

and do the arteries have specific hit points

[rocky plover]

ye upper arms and upper legs

JHP has higher chance for the majority of the weapons

the reason i say majority is because 6.5 creedmore JHP is not good for limbs

[little burrow]

alright, upper arms and upper legs? Like shoulder and thighs?

[rocky plover]

and some AP are still very good for arterial bleeds such as .50AE and 7.62x51

[rocky plover]

yes ,above the elbow and above the knee

[little burrow]

wont they like, instantly kill them while making them bleed out? I like to see my enemies suffer in agony as they know that they only have 5 seconds left before they lose consciousness

[rocky plover]

they run around with a blood trail leaving their wound, then they die of blood loss, but be aware some can still fire while losing blood, and it takes a while for them to fully die

[little burrow]

Alright, what about the neck? I think the neck also has a artery if they have that in the game

[rocky plover]

i think its either part of the head or torso, not a specific area for neck afaik

so depends where it lands

[little burrow]

Alright thanks, I will be testing this on innocent civilians and surrendering enemies in the gas station mission

[rocky plover]

👍

[little burrow]

Also if a enemy/civilian is surrendering and they are on their knees, is it still possible to hit an artery or is the game like “lets remove the arteries cause why not”

[rocky plover]

hmm good question, i think you can still do it but not fully sure

[little burrow]

Alright thanks

[crude prism]

Still can.

[rocky plover]

the man himself, the legend!

[visual gorge]

With AP, probably

[stone bay]

Use the p90

Jhp, that thing gonna punch tru that mf

On auto too and bring a lot of ammo

[strange ether]

does anyone wanna help me S tier some missions

[lost inlet]

JHP 5.7 can only pen lvl2 armor bro.

[stone bay]

Thats why u use full auto

🙂

[elder barn]

^^

[vocal wing]

Can anyone confirm if the Flair Nite Watch and duality tattoo are real unlocks from S ranking a new America? I've heard talk but no confirmation or pictures

[stone bay]

And bring a lot of mags

[lost inlet]

increasing time to kill for no reason also wasting slots for more ammo when you could have bring more grenade.

[stone bay]

Its time for unconventional methods to be used

[elder barn]

stragety > equipment

Strategy*

[faint widget]

has anyone done neon tomb S tier on hard mode since the update?

[lost inlet]

yes.

[calm kindle]

I think they should make it so your top priority in an active shooter situation should be lethal force, because I’m pretty sure that’s how it is in real SWAT units.

[gray herald]

Does anyone know how to stop nvgs from lowering your fov

[wet chasm]

it’s on purpose

[ionic gale]

That’s on purpose

It’s supposed to make you have to be a bit more aware of your surroundings as you wear night vision goggles

[gray herald]

Aaaaah I couldn’t think of a gameplay reason guess I’m dumb

[tacit gull]

you could just raise your fov

[gray herald]

Thanks

[wet chasm]

i have maxed out fov

i want more fov

[tacit gull]

crank it up

ron dm

[wet chasm]

i wanna see judges shoulders

[tacit gull]

frag out

[rotund cypress]

It’s either that or S-ranking all of them

I did the s ranks in order and got the watch and tattoo after completing ana

[stone bay]

Yes

[vocal wing]

@rotund cypress thanks pal. I wasn't going to bully my psyche doing s rank for no good reason

[ionic gale]

You get a broken handcuff as wrist wear , where if you press the detonator and get the bad ending

[rotund cypress]

Did you get a tattoo too?

[vocal wing]

@ionic gale I got those already just wasn't sure if the watch and duality tattoo were real as I'd heard vague reports of them

[rotund cypress]

I heard talk of one but I didn’t get it

[stone bay]

And the devil tattoo

[vocal wing]

You need to interact with the devil carving on the table during the jail ending to get the tattoo I've heard

[rotund cypress]

FUCK

[ionic gale]

Wouldn’t exactly know myself as I haven’t even completed ANA either

[rotund cypress]

Ah

I have 3/4 then

I was kinda hoping that tat wasn’t real so I wouldn’t have to play ANA again

[stone bay]

Lol

[vocal wing]

Does it matter if I do quick play or career mode to try for the judges apartment ending?

[rotund cypress]

I only got it to work on career

[stone bay]

Its ugly anyway, the devil tatto looks childish for some reason

[rotund cypress]

Still want it for completionism

[ionic gale]

Any singleplayer mode should work

[stone bay]

Got a point

[rotund cypress]

I always wear long sleeves so I can’t see tats anyway

[faint widget]

its not about realism anymore

[stone bay]

Exactly

[rotund cypress]

S-rank isn’t “I handled the situation realistically” it’s “I handled the situation in the most difficult way possible”

[stone bay]

Its handle the situation in the best way possible(arrest everyone, no dead people), but its not doable in real life so its more like a challange that players can flex having

[rotund cypress]

Idk if I consider arresting terrorists better than killing them tbh

[gray herald]

On ana should I even bother trying to arrest if they don’t immediately comply?

[rotund cypress]

Like the hospital gets shot to hell BECAUSE you arrest the guy in the nightclub

[stone bay]

Its a challange, to ensure replayability

[calm kindle]

Well wasn’t there a mention of National Guard in Boiling Point or something? That seems pretty realistic for the situation

[rotund cypress]

If you see a guy with a gigantic leaf on his head do not shoot him under any circumstance

[vocal wing]

Arresting crack heads sure. Pedos, active shooters and terrorists are getting their wigs split if I'm not trying for s rank

[rotund cypress]

Otherwise yeah just shoot them

[gray herald]

Making him a martyr would make it much worse I’d think

[calm kindle]

7.62 seems mandatory for A New America at this point

[gray herald]

Got it

[rotund cypress]

Eh that’s fair

[vocal wing]

Does pepper ball or gas even work in a new America or should I just give my team flash launchers?

[rotund cypress]

No, no, absolutely

[calm kindle]

Just shoot everyone

[rotund cypress]

Flash launcher + the riot control talent

Actually the goat

9/10 suspects don’t even enter a stun from my experience they just immediately surrender when your team blasts them

[gray herald]

You got any tips for arresting large groups of suspects while playing solo, died twice trying to a rank neon tomb because of that

[rotund cypress]

Commander solo or true solo?

[gray herald]

True solo

[rotund cypress]

Generally if there’s a shitload of peeps in a room I’ll kinda take them one at a time

So like flash one, get to cover, order the surrendering suspect to go to you, rinse and repeat

If you’re fine taking only flashbangs for the launcher you can also just basically brute force rooms by shooting someone with the launcher whenever they try to stand up

[gray herald]

Yea I’ve been avoiding that with fear of running out

[rotund cypress]

I would really suggest going for achievements (if that’s what you’re doing) in commander tho

[gray herald]

Fair

[rotund cypress]

The swat ai is dumb as bricks but flash m32 and riot control are so good they can handle most gunfights anyways

[gray herald]

Yea I tried an Ironman run with and died because I got impatient😢

Also

You think the taser is also good for S rank?

[stone bay]

Beanbag shotgun is better

[rotund cypress]

Depends on the map imo

[gray herald]

Usually bring one no matter what but use it randomly

[rotund cypress]

It gives you a ton of potential arrests for one slot

[stone bay]

Waste of slot

[gray herald]

True

[rotund cypress]

But it can also be very finicky outside of spitting distance

[gray herald]

Yea trying to hit suspects when they run at me feels weird

Maybe it’s fov but I gotta be kissing them for it to work

[rotund cypress]

The laser helps me a lot

If you put the laser dead center you have pretty good odds of hitting

[limpid summit]

How’s everyone

[gray herald]

I’m talking about melee but I try to aim for arms and legs jus in case they got body armor

[rotund cypress]

Oh armor doesn’t matter

[gray herald]

Am I just this ass😭

[rotund cypress]

The taser is depleted uranium it goes through plates like butter

Just always aim center mass

[gray herald]

Really? Thought it was like a amped up defibrillator

[rotund cypress]

I mean not really I’m just saying the taser in game ignores armor

[gray herald]

Good to know

[tacit gull]

None of the less lethals are affected by armor

[gray herald]

Thanks

Don’t get me started on that bum ass pepper ball rifle

[tacit gull]

dont worry the pistol is worse

[gray herald]

Just started bringing a 1911 mag in case I fail so I could execute whoever’s nearest

[rotund cypress]

It’s called TRPL because it’s terriple

[gray herald]

Maybe it’s me but I don’t understand how someone can eat multiple paintballs to the face and only react to the tear gas

[tacit gull]

pepper doesnt do shit unless you hit 4 of them in one spot

[gray herald]

I know it’s insane

Some 90 pound methhead shouldn’t be eating these shots

[solemn patio]

Dude they should crumple if you fart on them wrong 90 pounds is tinyy

[vocal wing]

Holy shit I put 8 bean bags into one guy on a new america and only the final shot made him drop his gun

[violet sorrel]

When did this Mexican map get so hard

[gray herald]

Deadass

[vocal wing]

Accidentally went bop into a guy's forehead with a beanbag now gotta restart

[unborn kestrel]

server message when my entire public server team dies from a single tripwire: "you have been promoted! you are now one of my elite employees"

[solemn patio]

Nono I dont do that on accident you piss me off goodbye Ill try again tomorrow

[vocal wing]

Just going full team heavy armor ballistic face mask. Going to need anti flash goggles. If gas goes off I'll just run away. All dudes running flash launcher and 9 bangs. Permanent hearing and eyesight loss for my full squad by the end of this mission

[tribal violet]

Just played ANA with my best mate, just duo as we always do

||On our first run we got to the final staircase, with me completely uninjured, then he got dropped there

Forcing me to try and clear the final room solo, which ended with like 3/5 suspects killed before one outgunned me||

6.5 Creedmore sure puts in work

Also honestly I find Pier to be harder than both the bank and ANA, they always execute a civilian in the Haunted House before we get there

[last tundra]

question: where can isee which missions are done in which difficulty even in multiplayer?

[vocal wing]

@tribal violet wish I could get a stubby barely 6.5 like some kind of freak. It is such a great rifle but I be knocking the paint off the walls with the barrel length

[tribal violet]

Honestly I think it works; atleast on ANA it did bc all the rooms are fairly large.

But yea a sorta carbine variant would be fun

[iron willow]

15 attempts on ANA so far, this S rank will be hell. I need a break.

I witnessed my AI squadmate who was holding a door get one tapped, like wow.

As usual, the SWAT AI is useless even with the most OP gear in the game (flashbang grenade launcher)

[trail hawk]

Why is Greased Palms S tier glitched

[karmic tide]

Is that not js an MCX

[wet dock]

slr-47 is a great alternative

[somber wolf]

Fun fact, the 7.62x39 used by the SLR-47 is a nearly identical round to the .300BLK stat wise

[twilit flower]

Congrats! It's kinda difficult mision because you don't really have time to always have everything secured controllably

[pine token]

guys, i just walked into a room on ana and there was a mlo member in there who had already been arrested with his weapons laying on the ground, is this normal

near the start of the mission and i have definitely not entered the room prior

[summer star]

Does anyone know what gear I should use to get an S rank for the new dlc? (PS5)

[twilit flower]

Isn't there a FISA squad in as well? Maybe they cleared some of the rooms too

[pine token]

i've gone through ana several times now and i've never seen this happen before

[vocal wing]

@summer star full squad flash launcher

[summer star]

Thanks

[violet sorrel]

Omg it’s impossible to complete the Mexican map with a full score

They start killing hostages as soon as you enter

[kindred juniper]

What’s better the arn-180 or the mcx

[dreamy glacier]

id say arn

[pine token]

bruh my game crashed when id almost finished the mission

i don't think i've ever experienced ron this prone to crashing before

[pulsar forge]

Thanks, as for right now I’m just doing a clean up of the last S rank I’m missing in base game

For the hospital, problem I’m having is just the fact that both times I tried 1 officer AI dies and that locks me of the S to an A+

[twilit flower]

Ooh I gave up on AI after the 3rd mission and just play multiplayer with friends 😅

[pulsar forge]

But I’m just clearing everything with flashes tho the 9 banger I’ll say is pretty bad

[pulsar forge]

Yeah I get frustrated too sometimes but need them for the achievement

[wintry summit]

I'm sorry but why does standard difficulty elephant have traps now?

[pulsar forge]

It dosent

I did it yesterday

[wintry summit]

it infact does because I just watched two times as my squad got blown to bits

[twilit flower]

I don't see the use for it as regular flashbang does pretty good stun effect

[pulsar forge]

Did you cleared the bombs ?

[wintry summit]

unless the game is having a stroke and telling me I'm on standard when I'm on hard?

[pulsar forge]

That actually might be it

[wintry summit]

No, I didn't think elephant had bombs on standard so I didn't check, I nearly lost my iron man run I'm glad I was standing backt

Yeah difficulty was on hard no idea why

even on hard though what masochist thought to put bombs on a mission where you have at best five seconds to get through it 💀

[turbid sand]

Every time I’ve tried to use the 9 banger the AI sort of drops it at their feet which is suboptimal

[wintry summit]

King von himself wouldn't even concieve something so diabolical

[pulsar forge]

It had to be couse I literally had to try 7 times that one in standard couse they killed a civie

[wintry summit]

yeah I was on hard for some reason

[pulsar forge]

Same and I hate it so much

[wintry summit]

stingers >

[pulsar forge]

That’s why I’m saying it’s kind of trash, regular flash they trow more foward

[pulsar forge]

Tried them 1 time and killed a civie by accident so that’s a no go for me on my S rank run

[zinc lantern]

@dull current #🎬ron-clips-and-media message this is the most square peg in round hole behavior lol

[pine token]

is there any crash log you can read when you crash

ive crashed probably 5 times since the update dropped and i have no idea why its happening

[dull current]

😹

[umbral cape]

damn, Greased Palms and Neon Tomb are easier to S rank than to any rank Relapse

[unborn kestrel]

i clear the whole 3th floor at ana solo and some random ass merc shoots up my ass when i thought i was clear

i love this game

not even a mlo operative

but a bitchless merc

[rotund cypress]

I LOVE FAL SUSPECTS! I LOVE FAL SUSPECTS!

GIVE EVERY SUSPECT AN FN FAL NEXT UPDATE

[pearl jacinth]

If I had a quarter for everytime I’d forget “it’s quicker to switch to your pistol than to reload” I’d be rich

[dim oak]

back to playing ron

well if it got past the black screen

[crude prism]

Oh you wanted to NOT get shot behind every wall?

Equip more 7.62x51 on every single suspect!

[dim oak]

rust belt with the magnum only

i forgot how unstable the game is at times

can i complete Beat Cop with a shield

[unborn kestrel]

true cops don't use shields

[bronze bough]

Ngl I’m loving the G36

[dim oak]

how do i like solo missions again or to do beat cop i also need to change the other guys' loadouts

[wraith lance]

Guys, just a quick thingy I want to be sure of :
Does turning off the security system in "A new America", also turns off the camera for suspects and motion detectors ?

[floral peak]

You gotta turn off motion detectors with multitool by yourself, every single one

[wraith lance]

'kay 'kay

Any guess for the building camera feed ?

[floral peak]

I don’t even know if they have camera access

[wraith lance]

If they couldn't, I dunno why Void would let us disable it

[hexed escarp]

rewiring the camera feed just gives you access to the building cameras on your helmet cam viewing

[dim oak]

damn this revolver gunplay is pretty hard

[hexed escarp]

like you can see through the cameras the same way u can see thru ur squads helmet cams

[wraith lance]

Yes
I talk about the lever in the electrical room

[hexed escarp]

oh thats only useful for the electric doors and alarms i think

[dim oak]

and i should've gone JHP instead of AP. great.

[wraith lance]

And it disables the cameras too

[hexed escarp]

i dont think the suspects even use the cameras tho

[wraith lance]

And I thinks doors are openable with the keycard and card reader

[unborn kestrel]

just shoot off their pelvis, easy

[floral peak]

Disabling the fire alarm is nice

[dim oak]

so aim for the balls?

[unborn kestrel]

like a true beat cop

[unborn kestrel]

yes

aim for the waist

[wraith lance]

But also opens you to more opening for the enemy to get you by the back

[errant musk]

Somehow if there is a suspect in room B and shield guy is in room A he will put the shield away before he shoot the suspect

[unborn kestrel]

or hip

maneee i dunno bout this anatomy bullshit

just shoot their balls off

[dim oak]

dude attempt 2 like 6 guys were in the same "complex"

[warm gate]

I hope one day void gives us options to breach rooms for our teams to move in instead of basic breach and clear type stuff where everyone piles in.

[ionic gale]

Doesn’t the tutorial literally show you how to do that?

I’m hoping you know how to switch between blue and red elements to control them as independent elements?

[barren vessel]

personally, i would split them door to door, one with gasmasks and others with flashbang goggles

[swift kettle]

New last map is so hard any tips

[tiny girder]

Do we have to finish the base game missions on ironman mode to get the developers watch cosmetic or DLCs included?

[warm gate]

I meant like running the rabbit pushing the threat like doorkickers style stuff

[zinc lantern]

Base game

[warm gate]

Just base game

[floral peak]

Omfg flashlight makes it all much easier

[blissful ginkgo]

With the Boiling Point DLC being an "ending" to lore and general story of RoN, what's to come in future? It feels like it wraps things up pretty nice. What's to come?

[unborn kestrel]

toc watching judges bodycam after going solo must be terrified

[swift kettle]

Being a Bad guy

[blissful ginkgo]

?

Maybe multiplayer? If I remember correctly VOID has sait that it's not out of the window and coming back.

[unborn kestrel]

literally cliffhanger ending

buddy

[hexed escarp]

i wonder which ending the next DLC would even start from ngl since theres prob gonna be another

[unborn kestrel]

it does not wrap up SHIT

love how you can just activate the fire alarm to clear a floor for free in ana

sadly its one time use only

don't think that these idiots would fall for it again anyway

[hexed escarp]

i have not once used the fire alarms ngl

i've had the MLO guys trigger them on me a few times i think but never touched them myself

[unborn kestrel]

civ says "i don't care if they live or die"

[dry rain]

was on my 4th try s ranking relapse, did everything, and one suspect was left. i searched for 20 mins straight, finally found him at the main entrance and i died cuz i didn’t expect him. LAST SUSPECT BRO. 40 MIN RUN DOWN THE DRAIN IM GNA KMS

[unborn kestrel]

so i lowk lock in and pop heads

[coarse sail]

why sre bean bags so inconsistent

[hexed escarp]

this is why u run full coverage steel plate

[dry rain]

deadass bro, tpl clears

[hexed escarp]

pepperballs are GARBO bro im all in on flashbang launchers

[dry rain]

is still better than ceramic? i’ve been using ceramic

[hexed escarp]

steel protects against like pretty much everything

[dry rain]

i prefer them when s ranking a mission where i need a long range non lethal

[hexed escarp]

and i've honestly never had spalling effect me im p sure that shit is made up

[hexed escarp]

just fire the flashbang 2 inches away from your face and take it like a man

[floral peak]

Alr, I figured out flashlight manipulation now

Man I wish I knew that earlier

[dry rain]

if only i downloaded pre release and got access to launchers id be rocking the flashbang launcher on primary all day

[hexed escarp]

do people who bought post 1.0 not have the 6 cylinder launcher???

thats so gay if true

[dry rain]

yep

[unborn kestrel]

it was a free update tfym

[dry rain]

you don’t get any primary launchers

[hexed escarp]

thats so frickin lame...

[unborn kestrel]

i love spreading misinformation on the internet

[slim verge]

Done ana duo on hard today and finally i got cuffed trigger guy. When i tried to defuse bomb on his chest then i fokin missclicked it to the bomb trigger. Dayum that was big failure

[dry rain]

wym lol? maybe i’m mistaken. i was trying to s rank with my friend and he told me to equip the primary flashbang launcher, i said i didn’t have access to primary launchers and he told me it was included if you pre ordered the game or something along those lines

[unborn kestrel]

its the last tab in the selection menu

[dry rain]

again, i don’t have it!

[smoky dawn]

the m32a1 is not obtainable anymore

[unborn kestrel]

it was a free update dude

tfym not obtainable??? why the fuck?

[smoky dawn]

it was with the console update for people who pre ordered it on ps/xbox and for pc

[dry rain]

that’s what i was trying to say

[unborn kestrel]

tf are those devs smoking?

[smoky dawn]

so yes, every pc user has it but not every console user

[unborn kestrel]

this is so fucking stupid

[dry rain]

he js worded it better than me

[unborn kestrel]

how greedy?

how greedy did they have to get to even think about locking an insane tool behind a pre-order

[hexed escarp]

VOID on their way to hide all the cool shit from LSS behind a massive paywall

[unborn kestrel]

they already made MILLIONS

fuckkkk nahhhh thats messed up

[dry rain]

it would be sm easier for me to s rank if i had it

[zinc lantern]

The launchers and 50ae pistol will be available to everyone eventually; they were initially supposed to be fully available with the Boiling Point DLC release, but decided to push it back to July

[unborn kestrel]

how greedy?

[smoky dawn]

definitely sucks for console ppl who didnt pre order tho

[swift kettle]

What happens if u Presse fire alarm on the last map?

[hexed escarp]

it just alerts all the guys to that room i think

[dry rain]

sprays water everywhere which is annoying imo

[swift kettle]

Does it help at all?

[hexed escarp]

it does that too fucking hate the water effects

[dry rain]

not rlly

[hexed escarp]

i guess if you want all the enemies to go to a specific area

[dry rain]

frr bro

[swift kettle]

What area they go to

[dry rain]

they should make a channel for in game fits lowk

[hexed escarp]

the area the fire alarm is in

[swift kettle]

So i could just Camp and kill them one after another?

[dry rain]

i promise you can’t kill them that easy 💔

[swift kettle]

Dont underestimate my 9mm

[zinc lantern]

People post them in #🎨ron-screenshots-and-art all the time

[dry rain]

thanks g didn’t know that

[floral peak]

If only they all were breaching

[swift kettle]

Why teammates sometimes run into an uncleared room🤨😐

So annoying

[copper silo]

To clear

[rich ocean]

i have the opposite problem lmao i’ll tell the ai to clear a room but they just get stuck in the door check animation

they all stack up and one of them just repeatedly grabs the door handle

[tiny girder]

Rog

[unborn kestrel]

soooo how does the secret ending work, just pressed the detonator solo and nothing happened after

am i supposed to not be in a mp lobby or what

man this game fucking suuuuuucksss...

[slim verge]

You wont get any ending if u play it in mp lobby

[unborn kestrel]

so how am i supposed to do it solo

[slim verge]

With stupid ai teammates ofc

[unborn kestrel]

oh wait wh

OH FUCK THIS GAME DUDE

why did i turn the tower into a bloodbath all alone then

nah fuck this

[somber wolf]

Simply increase the current aptitude of your skillset in order to use your tools and teammates with more efficiency and effectiveness

[unborn kestrel]

brother

what are you on

[somber wolf]

stimulants

[unborn kestrel]

dudes just ragebaiting bro tfym use teammates with more efficiency

[somber wolf]

Use diff team formations, give your breachers a shield,

[unborn kestrel]

these guys will scream at a suspect for hours through a window

[molten prairie]

Bringing your AI teammates with you is like bringing a child to a gunfight.

[unborn kestrel]

for years even, i don't want to babysit these fucks

[molten prairie]

They just get in the way and someone is gonna get hurt.

[somber wolf]

Use the shield and .50Æ if you just want the completion mark

[unborn kestrel]

I'M LARPIN' OVER HERE!!!

[zinc lantern]

You can just tell them to hold at the spawn and go without them following

[unborn kestrel]

yeah no i just wanted the bloody broken cuff but i guess you don't have to do it solo in mp so i just wasted time

[somber wolf]

I heard rumors that the cuff can’t be used in multiplayer lobbies

[unborn kestrel]

?

[somber wolf]

I wouldn’t know, I play for pleasure

[unborn kestrel]

???? its a cosmetic

[somber wolf]

Thought so. I have seen text ruminating that the cuff item cannot be used in a co-op multiplayer lobby

[unborn kestrel]

bro are you ai

"cuff item"

[zinc lantern]

I wear mine all the time in mp lobbies

[unborn kestrel]

bro

[somber wolf]

no im simply in a higher plane of existence
And context of the conversation would make “cuff” be the “bloody broken cuff”

[unborn kestrel]

cuff item

[thin field]

Does anyone know if you lose your save file if you get the bad ending of "A New America" on Ironman mode?

[hexed escarp]

i dont imagine you would as long as you dont die

[north monolith]

What is the best dlc to buy first?

[tired jungle]

Dark waters

[north monolith]

Okay thanks

[north monolith]

Rebecca is peak

[hexed escarp]

home invasion is the best of the 3 imo

[north monolith]

Yeah was thinking of getting that one looks pretty fun

[hexed escarp]

yeah all of the maps are pretty good and it has the most decent cosmetics

[north monolith]

Okay thanks

[hexed escarp]

yw

[last tundra]

question: the rust belt .357 achievement is bugged? or how specific do i have to be to earn it?

[rich ocean]

i think it’s bugged still i’ve tried it solo and with ai only using the revolver

no ammo or deployable

unless u can’t even use your multi tool lmao it’s still bugged

[last tundra]

letting the ai open doors counts a voiding the achievemt?

[sonic sandal]

The 590M is also glitched

[rich ocean]

idek i just know i’ve tried multiple ways i still haven’t gotten it

[crude prism]

Can't use the multitool lol.

If you break your right leg and get a locked door, gotta restart.

It's just good game design

[rich ocean]

really? fuck

[last tundra]

but the ai can open doors?

like, ordering the ai to open doors or do any action voids it?

[crude prism]

No clue, I'd say just do it yourself.

There's a copy pasta somewhere for it

[rich ocean]

i’m bouta do it right now lol no this whole time i could’ve done it 💀

[distant beacon]

can you toggle off the magnifier on scopes?

[rich ocean]

yes

[distant beacon]

what button is it by default?

[rich ocean]

d pad

[distant beacon]

key sorry

[rich ocean]

i’m on console sorry

check key input in settings

[last tundra]

mouse wheel up lets you zoom in on out

p is for alternate sights and o is for canted

[distant beacon]

for the RMO sight I mean sorry

Think I need to reset my controls cause I can't zoom in or out

[eternal drum]

you can overlay binds fortunately so you can always put zoom back on the wheel

[distant beacon]

I see, did you swap the cycle element keybind?

[eternal drum]

i turned cycle into selecting red on mwheelup and blue on mwheeldown. I moved gold team elsewhere

i think RON could probably change the sight uses into a linear ladder
i.e. canted to reflex sight/irons to scope and then zooms. then you dont have to worry about three separate binds for managing sights

[distant beacon]

I agree

[charred warren]

does anybody have a problem doing the "beat a cop" achievment? i didnt use any launchers or grenades i just used the scar and i didnt get the achievment

[burnt frigate]

Tbh I’m not sure why when u first select your handgun, it does a chamber check. Why are we entering the zone without checking our firearms beforehand? Aren’t we supposed to be professionals?! 🤨

Gotten me popped a few times

[smoky cedar]

For me, when I equip the staccato it does an inspect

Gotten me killed at lest 7 times now because I was checking out my gun during a firefight

[burnt frigate]

Yea they should remove that tbh. Maybe a key just for inspection would be sick

Holding P or something idk

[wind phoenix]

I kinda hope the old maps can get readded back eventually. Would be cool to see a finished version of the old farm map. Or the old port map. Or the old hotel map. Could be potentially for Los Suenos stories if they ever wanted to add more

[green abyss]

If I can recall “beat cop” requires you to use no armor, helmets, or primary weapons. - just a sidearm.

[charred warren]

oooooh

[charred warren]

well it says to use only lethal no grenade no launchers.. thats weird but thanks imma try it like that

[burnt frigate]

How about an airport map? Terminal clearing ?

[autumn laurel]

My Eyes! It Burns! achievement bugged?

(Yes I googled to check, there's like 1 reddit post so wanted to ask here)

[wind phoenix]

Oh yeah. Airport map would be cool too

[deft lintel]

I think an actual acog sight would be a good addition

[hexed escarp]

i want more regular ass urban maps ngl

like brixley, 213, edgeware, dorms, 23mb

[wind phoenix]

There’s a lot of good map ideas and directions the devs could go, and with what the story is now especially after Boiling Point, who knows where it’ll go. But I’m excited to see

[green abyss]

Sorry correction; “Beat Cops” you need to beat ‘Narcos’ only using lethal pistols without using grenades or launchers.

[charred warren]

ohh pistols

alrighty then thanks

[charred warren]

omg why i didnt see that i just checked up im so stupid i though it can be rifles

[autumn laurel]

I remember having to run that mission twice for it to pop
You can ONLY use the pistol basically, I recommend the revolver or 50 cal pistol (I forgor what it's called)

I remember some people said you could use a shield, but I'm not sure

[charred warren]

why?

why those guns

[autumn laurel]

those two pistols hit hard

[charred warren]

ooh alright then fair enough

[autumn laurel]

I used the revolver because we didn't have the 50 cal pistol at the time

[smoky cedar]

mk-v?

[glass venture]

Is it just me that does that have an issue with getting accurate follow up shots with the new 6.5 rifle and overcompensating for vertical recoil with that gun. Perhaps using shotguns and the AK don’t help.

[rich ocean]

did rust belt with only the revolver solo and still didn’t get the achievement

didn’t even use the multi tool

also can’t unlock the the who is pepe silvia one

[pulsar forge]

Heard that one is a little buggy

Mostly couse there’s no exact way to get it since even in the steam forums there’s different ways to unlock it

[copper dome]

What difficulty

[rich ocean]

standard

[pulsar forge]

Did you used the shield or NVG ?

Or any type of breaching tools ?

[rich ocean]

nah only gear on me was vest and helmet do they count?

nope

[coral mesa]

What DLC Is better, Home Invasion Or Dark waters?

[wind phoenix]

I like Home Invasion. But it’s up to personal preference

[sharp geode]

home invasion imo is cooler

[wind phoenix]

It has my favorite map in Lawmaker as well as two other pretty solid maps

[haughty mural]

any tips on s ranking elephant?

[smoky cedar]

is los suenos in makade county or los suenos county? because i keep seeing mods that add LSSD, and people telling me this but if thats the case why does LSPD operate in makade county? (a lethal obsession takes place in upper makade, look in the desc of the mission)

[smoky cedar]

dark waters isn't very realistic for a local swat team but home invasion is pretty cool and doesn't get into all this COAST MLO USIA bullshit

home invasion is literally just people robbing homes after a huge hurricane because they want shelter and whatnot and its so fun

i highly recommend home invasion, but if you're a lore guy play DW

[wind phoenix]

Move fast. Ignore the bombs and civs. Get suspects first. Then focus on everything else. And don’t bother stacking up and breaching every door. It’s risky but again just move fast.

[haughty mural]

ok thanks

[smoky cedar]

use semi auto if you wanna hit any of your shots

[haughty mural]

also why do they kill the civilians

[smoky cedar]

it's a school shooting dude tfym why

[coral mesa]

There insane ig

[haughty mural]

well i was looking for like "your taking too long" kinda answer but yea probably

[smoky cedar]

i mean if you're taking too long the school blows up, theres bombs after all

[slow nexus]

Depends on what vibe you want, but I enjoyed dark waters more personally.

[wind phoenix]

Actually I think I read somewhere that there’s a 2 minute timer on elephant before they start executing civilians. Not sure if that’s true but I remember hearing it

[smoky cedar]

Thats the minimum time at least. Sometimes they don't kill them at all

[coral mesa]

I dont understand why the shooters and terrorists wait to blow up the bombs, like bro just blow them up straight away so they dont get defused

[smoky cedar]

Pretty sure they also start whenever the first gunshot rings out, assuming its prior to those 2 minutes

[cedar knot]

Never had the ai kill npcs when i completed elephant, must be a new thing

[wind phoenix]

That sounds right to me too

[smoky cedar]

Fear. And also it makes sense in some missions

[cedar knot]

I’ve run elephant more than 5-8 times, never had civs die

[smoky cedar]

Not new. Elephant came out 1.0 and they've always shot civs for me

[cedar knot]

Odd, must be a random code selection

[smoky cedar]

In Relapse for example, the bombs are just there as a threat. The point of the mission is for the hand guys to free his boss, Qadamah, from the hospital because he got fucking lit up during the mission prior (neon tomb)

[past mulch]

Is there anyway to get the vr mod on standalone? Im only on a quest 3 and i play on ps5

[smoky cedar]

Not that I'm aware of. Also for mods #🔧modding-chat

[past mulch]

Alr ty

[tepid cipher]

Does anyone know the artist that made the cover art for the Home Invasion and Dark Waters dlcs?

[cedar knot]

The new update adding boiling point, the new HQ map, is that for people who own the dlc only or everyone?

[coral mesa]

For everyone

[cedar knot]

Nah that ruins brooo

[coral mesa]

ik

[brave jolt]

Sooo uhhh...
Soloing a new america on hard is..
..what the fuck

[marble juniper]

would have gotten A rank but at the last courthouse with the bomb guy my ai decided to shoot my other ai

[coral mesa]

I've played it atleast 20 times and got and F every time

only time i almost beat it i didnt realise the "active" button did what it did 🙂

[brave jolt]

Oh my god, they are aimbots

[bronze bough]

Do 5.56 and .300 blk AP do the same damage and stuff

[brave jolt]

0.7 to 1.2 seconds.

BRO WHAT THE FUCL, dude was wearing NO armor and i double tapped him, one to the chest, one to the neck and he just stood there.

[zinc lantern]

No

[spring hearth]

Do be like that

[brave jolt]

Void is gonna owe me a new monitor

[bronze bough]

Does .300 kill people better?

[spring hearth]

Lowk should be asking what’s a good gun to use for both cqb and other

[hot juniper]

there are some unused prison voicelines, anyone have an idea? "How, I killed you"

[torn axle]

are the dlc missions more emotional/deeper hitting than the base game missions as they look like it

[vernal gate]

C2

[haughty mural]

i just used the breach shotgun and tried being fast and it worked

[vernal gate]

let's gooo

[brave jolt]

0/6 runs for Solo Hard, A.N.A.

[limpid summit]

How’s everyone

[burnt quail]

so i found this stuffed toy with a bomb inside in the detective room, is there a event in the commander where the bomb is dufused or something else?

[limpid summit]

Why u brown?

[smoky cedar]

he got muted

[limpid summit]

Oh

[limpid summit]

Thank you Alvin from the chipmunks

[brave jolt]

What did he get muted for?

[limpid summit]

Didn’t pay his existence tax

[sacred skiff]

What are the loud bangs I’m hearing in Carriers of the Vine?

[brave jolt]

Fair

[slim verge]

Not much as 7.62x51 but its slightly better than 5.56

[random void]

Tried looking for a unit on unit promotion and there's like 1 main group that constantly talks about playing other games other than RON..... am I missing something here?

[still perch]

make sure you cover your faces on the ride home.

[turbid monolith]

God, that line is fucking good

[thick thorn]

yo has anyone got this programmed psychosis bullshit? if so what loadout did u run

[slow fossil]

Has anyone been able to get the my eyes it burns achievement? I think I might be doing it wrong I cant seem to get it

[wintry summit]

can an officer in crisis resign even if I take them off the squad roster? 4 of my officers went crisis after a mission and I could only send 3 to therapy

[still perch]

just move and clear bro

[still perch]

do an S tier run with all three crisis officers and theyll recover

[viscid thistle]

Its bugged, thsts the last one I have and I can not get it whatever I do

[still perch]

kills are what stresses them out, doing a clean mission helps them

i usually replay thank you, come again for S

[slow fossil]

Love how void took away my 100% completion then made it impossible to get it back because of a bugged achievement lmao. Good stuff 👍🏻

[wintry summit]

yeah the issue isn't having non crisis officers I have plenty, I just want to know if an officer in crisis runs the risk of leaving even if they aren't in the squad roster

[viscid thistle]

Yup same I feel how you feel, 65/66 is not so fun 🤣

[wintry summit]

I have one officer not in therapy and in crisis, if I do missions with a different set of officers he won't run the risk of leaving yes?

[novel walrus]

Can we get a freaking server list?, the matchmaking always says NO LOBBIES FOUND IN YOUR PREFERED REGIONS, I have it on worldwide its annoying pressing the buttons 20 times to find a match

This is worse than getting into the Lobbies with the Watchmen guy from before

[viscid thistle]

Your best bet is just finding lobbies on dc

[novel walrus]

None of the options work its the same shit

[viscid thistle]

I usually never do public matches since people dont know what they are doing mostly and lone wolves

[novel walrus]

I've played since Early Access and it wasn't even this bad before, exclusively multiplayer only

[tacit gull]

welcome to epic's online services

[viscid thistle]

Idk i agree with lobbies lists and i feel like there are lobbies but it gets bugged sometimes

[brave jolt]

0/12 so far.

[still perch]

Run S tier its kills that harm them not missions

just do an S tier run on thank you, come again with all your crisis officers.

i hate these MLO larpers bro

[brave jolt]

MLO Larper?

[still perch]

Yeah the MLO are a bunch of larpers

[kind geyser]

power of vodka

[covert aurora]

"Toc to all elements.... your no longer them, your us."

[brave jolt]

Currently at 0/14
This solo hard run is uhh
difficult.

[haughty oriole]

The HQ theme is so soothing I almost feel asleep to it goddamn it

[chilly thorn]

every gun two or oneshots basically so..

[signal oyster]

No need for weapons when you have grenades.

"Flash out. Flash out. Flash ou- Flash- Flash- fla-"

[rotund cypress]

Genuinely whoever came up with this gas achievement should go tackle a rosebush

I love when achievements are just having astronomical luck

[charred warren]

"door kickers" achievment. - have 2 officers with an active kicker trait assigned to the roster and kick a door open in any mission.. can anybody explain to me what is a roster?

[crude prism]

It's the team you're bringing.

2 of the 4 team members need to have the kicker trait unlocked in commander mode

[charred warren]

oh okay then i dont understand.. i just used them now in the mission and assigned them to kick down like 4 doors already

[crude prism]

I think it wants you to kick a door down (?)

[charred warren]

hmm

wait does it give the achievment after compliting the mission or can it appear while in the mission

[limpid summit]

I require sugar

[bitter remnant]

nevermind im an idiot

[pine token]

I've done absolutely everything on ana but the game isn't ending, what are the soft objectives

nvm got it

[trail hawk]

Why does 2 missions have glitched S tiers.

[vestal mauve]

Greased Palms S Ranking can kiss my ass

[trail hawk]

i understand

but i think i figured out the problem

[somber wolf]

S Ranks in general can suck my balls, I will use .300BLK and I will magdump

[clever owl]

S on a new america is SO much worse bro

[trail hawk]

I also may have S tiered Valley of the Dolls first try but it didnt count :(

[vestal mauve]

I am dreading that day

[trail hawk]

If I had the ability to send pictures, it would be the 1000 yard stare

[clever owl]

i just got it a couple hours ago, took me so many fucking attempts; on one of my attempts, i literally cleared the entire building but as i was arresting another suspect, i forgot to defuse the detonator prior and the building exploded

[trail hawk]

Real, hate that guy

[trail hawk]

How do you feel?

[eager cape]

Does anyone else have a rather choppy optiwand framerate? I'm playing in windowed fullscreen without FPS caps

[trail hawk]

Just during the fire alarm sprinklers

time to redo my S tier of Greased Palms

[eager cape]

It might be something with my video settings then. Do you have uncapped optiwand FPS?

[clever owl]

idk i'm just glad i won't need to touch that mission again for S

[trail hawk]

No, im on ps5

[trail hawk]

real, i cant even get the damn mission done

[clever owl]

i had that as well

i started running ready or not through the .exe file found in one of the folders; fixed my laggy FPS and crappy optiwand frames

[vestal mauve]

what does the fire alarm do on A New America besides making it hard to see

[clever owl]

for me, going guns blazing in a new america is relatively easy, you just need to be very patient

[trail hawk]

ehh, kinda? jus use a flashlight tbh

[trail hawk]

what guns did u use?

[clever owl]

its mostly about your personal preference

i used the G36C; low recoil and i can 2-4 tap enemies in the torso

personally, i would only use the new RTWC just for pure damage; it isn't great for CQB because of its long ass barrel

[trail hawk]

I heard the G36C was a good one, ill have to try that next. Ive been using the SR-16, not bad but hasnt been working for me unfortunately.

And ive been using the new 9mm 1911 and its soooo gooooood

[clever owl]

i really like the SR-16, but it also has a long barrel

generally, i use the G36C and the MK18 for a new america

the ARWC is also a great pick for an all-rounder rifle

[trail hawk]

I will have to try those next

[quasi coral]

What are the problems with it?

[gentle python]

I've been using the DM4PDW and that ARP barrel has saved me a couple times

[trail hawk]

Idk, jus doesnt seem to be hittin as hard as i want it to be

[trail hawk]

I dont run smgs personally, but if i was, it would be the UMP-45. Very good imo

[gentle python]

I usually don't either, only SMG I run is the P90 bc it's CAG asf

My main guns are the DM4PDW, G3, Raider, and P90

[trail hawk]

Is that a rifle?

[high stump]

any advice on controlling ai for missions like elephant where you need to move fast? seems its the kind of mission i just need to ignore ai and snapshot everybody with a gun i see

[gentle python]

It's under the PDW category, it's a 5.56 AR Pistol

[trail hawk]

Correct

[gentle python]

Yeah pretty much

[trail hawk]

oh snap, ill have to try that

[gentle python]

If you need to, just melee them to get them to surrender quickly and then tell them to go to the exit

[high stump]

oh huh i didnt know you could do that

does rust belt have any traps?

[gentle python]

No

[gentle python]

I think it got added in the BP update but not sure

[surreal pelican]

Curious; can you just rush the flowerman room and cause him to explode the bombs and then end mission to get programmed psychosis?

[surreal pelican]

Yes

[somber wolf]

Yaaay a random picked ANA, can’t wait for my first attempt at ANA to be a success

[gentle python]

Rust Belt? No it doesnt

I have not encountered a single trap on Rust Belt

[surreal pelican]

Unless I encountered them while doing Hard; idk

Coz I vaguely remember I had to disarm a few

[gentle python]

Huh

[surreal pelican]

Yea

[unkempt granite]

why can't there be a button to restart failed missions on commander i'm gonna lose it 💔

[signal oyster]

What? I've played Rust Belt without traps

[signal oyster]

There's an easy way if your a console and PC player.
Console
EXIT THE GAME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND REENTER HOPING IT DIDNT SAVE
PC
Alt + F4

[unkempt granite]

doesn't that just take longer, i meant cuz i have to wait for the game to load into the pollice office and load it up again, i didn't even lose swat i just died

[gentle python]

It drives me crazy too, that's why I just play solo in an MP lobby

[ionic gale]

Probably because of the officer mechanic where if you fail a mission, it’s not like you can just restart and try to redo it because then your officer’s well-being is just gonna be trivial at that point

[somber wolf]

TWO SUSPECTS STACKED IN A CORNER

[ionic gale]

I’m pretty sure that commander doesn’t allow you to restart the level because of some sort of balance with the officer mechanic and it’s mental health mechanic

[signal oyster]

If you have swat teams it will get them stressed and sometimes cause them to leave

[somber wolf]

There is a restart feature. It’s called “closing the application”

[ionic gale]

If you fuck up a mission, the developers want you to feel the repercussions with your officers at mental health being affected

Although this is just a theory of mine? Not really official.

I personally never really cared about commanding of men because I feel like that. It’s a bit underbaked and I feel like that they could’ve done something a bit more with it. That’s why I just exclusively play quickplay.

[unkempt granite]

you could just make it so that after some restarts you're forced to go back if the cops are too stressed

[inner kiln]

anyone want a home invasion dlc steam key? accidentally bought it when i already have it. js lmk and i can dm it to you

[somber wolf]

Oh yeah, no doubt about it. But you can naturally cheese it by S ranking the first mission a bunch

[signal oyster]

I also don't really like commanding games. If there are some limitations fine but freely I'd play without

[quasi coral]

On hard, yes, on standard, no

[ionic gale]

Maybe?

[gentle python]

Ohhhhh

[quasi coral]

I THINK

[gentle python]

No no, that makes sense

[quasi coral]

Go for the LVAR or ARN-180 if you're looking for a hard hitter that isn't too hard, although the SR-16 does it for me

Looks too good to pass up

[unkempt granite]

like maybe make it half the effect on them so it isn't every two restarts because let's be honest that would be annoying on some long missions, but after maybe 4-6 restarts they get crisis

[trail hawk]

ill have to try that PDW tho, looks nice

[fringe jacinth]

Has anyone else had the problem when you attach the MAWL laser… the laser is completely misaligned

[ionic gale]

The DM4?

[quasi coral]

The LVAR is probably my favorite gun to use, unfortunately, my thumb clips into the PEQ-15 that does with it now

[trail hawk]

uhh. maybe

[quasi coral]

It's the LVAR

[ionic gale]

Common bug that’s been reported

There’s definitely gonna be a big patch for this

[ionic gale]

The LVAR its not in the PDW category, what are you talking about??

[trail hawk]

One of them, the top one

[ionic gale]

PDW’s are now in their own category

[unkempt granite]

a tip for traps is to always peek on maps with them, the optiwand can also detect them on the corners of doors, and if you can't see it flash a light on the small opening of the door when you peek since that doesn't trigger, or use NVGs

[quasi coral]

Oopsie, but I think he meant thno it's the ARN-180

[ionic gale]

Yeah, that’s the DM4 or whatever they call it

[muted saffron]

Could we see National Guard troops in the next DLC since it was mentioned that the movement of National Guard units was to Los sueños in the New America map?

[ionic gale]

Dude… he’s talking about the PDW category, no?

[trail hawk]

yes i am

[quasi coral]

He replied to me mentioning the ARN-180 and LVAR so I assumed he was talking about the two

[trail hawk]

boom S tiered VotD

[quasi coral]

[fringe jacinth]

Why does only the ARWC have weird recoil when you’re injured?

[ionic gale]

The Hawaiian shirt is gonna look fresh on you now

[quasi coral]

While it does happen with every gun when you're arm gets injured, the ARWC has the affect to the MAX

[fringe jacinth]

It’s been like this since the Adam update. Annoying as it’s my favourite rifle

[trail hawk]

Hell yea it is, but i already had this S tier. Void got rid of my old S tiers

Yes it is the DM4

[quasi coral]

Right?? But I can live past it

The combat grip not being usable cause my thumb clips into it is unacceptable

[fringe jacinth]

And the thumb clips into the PEQ almost all the time too

[quasi coral]

Exactly, the workarounds are either : Use a vertical grip, or no grip

The side grip and that large combat grip is also an option but I realistically would never see myself using them lol

[fringe jacinth]

Laser on the MAWL is misaligned massively too

On all the lasers it misaligned

[quasi coral]

Yea, that's pretty annoying

[fringe jacinth]

Most useless additions to the game other than the stress system

[trail hawk]

Now its time to S tier Elephant :)

[gusty lava]

Is it just me or some trophies are bugged? Nosce te Ipsum for example is not registering eventho i S ranked all new dlc maps

[quasi coral]

All the guns with clipping issues with the PEQ-15 and ADS Grips are currently the MCX Virtus, MK18, ARWC, SR-16, LVAR, G36C, GA416, MP5A2, and I think that's it

[clever owl]

it could potentially not work if you completed them in multiplayer

i didn't get a few achievements because i completed ANA with a friend of mine

[fringe jacinth]

So all the main swat weapons then

[quasi coral]

Honestly they are pretty cool, I'm sure some players enjoy those grips and their look

[gusty lava]

I completed them on commander mode still it won't count

[fringe jacinth]

If we could reposition the light and lasers to wherever the want like ground branch would be amazing

[quasi coral]

Yea
I have to equip vertical grips or no grips at all

[tacit forge]

Does the helmet count as armor? Cuz I did "The heat is on" achievement, but I didn't get the achievement.

[clever owl]

that's really odd then

only solution i can think of is to complete them again on quickplay

do ANA last, ofc

[clever owl]

yes?

[quasi coral]

That'd really be nice

[tacit forge]

Dang, ig gotta go through that hell again.

[fringe jacinth]

Also why is the GA4416 in that weird colour and not black.

Always bugged me since day 1

[upper vine]

gonna say this i hate A new american mission

i do not reget getting the new dlc but the mission is just 💀

[quasi coral]

It's tan painted, a lot brighter though(Khaki?)

I personally like it

[fringe jacinth]

Yeah, tan barrel and stock.

Weird choice considering the other rifles are black

[quasi coral]

Yea it stands out a lot, but not in a bad way

[fringe jacinth]

But considering the canon LSPD swat uniform is all black it’s a weird choice

But the clipping thing is awful, just let us choose where to put the attachments and it’ll solve it

[quasi coral]

Yea, maybe it should be converted to full black, but I can live with full black right now

[quasi coral]

I think you'd be limited to the spots that wouldn't have your fingers and thumb then lol

[fringe jacinth]

Like have my light on the left side of the barrel which I can imagine my thumb pushing it, not telepathically turning it on.

Or just add a pressure pad and wire

[quasi coral]

But yea, I absolutely DESPISE how they haven't fixed that

[viscid thistle]

Yeah, I did 1 run with the helmer and didn’t get it and got it next time without it

[fringe jacinth]

Experiment

[quasi coral]

I might genuinely turn into those salty guys in the steam comments

[tacit forge]

Did u do it with goggles or without goggles?

[high stump]

holy shit the swat ai just literally doesn't work on the cartel tunnel missionm

[fringe jacinth]

It’s a great game and the new update is superb, the attachment system is the best thing we’ve got since the Adam update.

But the clipping is sooooo lazy

[viscid thistle]

I dont remember but dont put them on for safety since you dont need em anyway (you cant use flashes)

[high stump]

then game just silently crashed when i tabbed out as insult to injury

[somber wolf]

ANA is SO fucking fun when you just go in ready to kill

It is genuinely my favorite mission now

[cedar mulch]

You should watch Narcos. In Narcos, they get completely wiped out by elite assassins.

[rich cobalt]

it's why i ran the AWRC, although in some promotional previews, judge and d platoon do mix and match tan and ranger green with black.

infact, the default helmets are ranger green ontop of their black uniforms.

though i do wish the HK416 had the option to use black furniture.

other than that, i use the canon setup on the AWRC, since it's the only other rifle with MLOK on it in an AR platform.

judge uses an eotech, an illuminator/peq combo, and a reversed BCM grip with a suppressor.

[brave jolt]

I have a question regarding the anti cheat.

[unkempt granite]

a random swat ai went solo and was getting shot and didn't shoot???

[tacit gull]

No

[brave jolt]

Oh, welp..guess i wont join random MP sessions then.

[tacit gull]

hey man gtav has anticheat and i still wouldnt recommend you play it

[brave jolt]

Oh.

I thought you meant im not supposed to discuss it lmao

[peak parrot]

I might buy my first DLC which one should it be?

[brave jolt]

Quality wise, Boiling Point.
Story wise, Home Invasion

[peak parrot]

Okay!

Thank you

[pine token]

honestly i'd pick dark waters for the guns

[pulsar forge]

so i just completed all the missions rank S on base game but it didnt pop the achivment

[clever owl]

boiling point

it's my favorite DLC personally

[clever owl]

same thing happened to me

[pulsar forge]

it keep saying im missing 2

[brave jolt]

Did you double check all the missions?
all say S?

[pulsar forge]

yeah im cheking right now all of them says standar rank S

[jade leaf]

holy barnacles bruh i did it NEW AMERICA SOLO HARD FINALLY

[brave jolt]

How

[jade leaf]

50 minutes a shotgun and 4 stingers

[brave jolt]

Im on try 17, i keep getting shot in the back or through doors.

[jade leaf]

i use a stab vest and use the ALT lean tech to get in a position where the enemies dont see me but i see them

i play patiently and slow and use a flashlight to alert them so i can hear where they are becuase sometimes theyll say "CONTACT" and reveal their position

[clever owl]

time for ANA solo S rank

[brave jolt]

Yeah i do that and they just John wick me.

[jade leaf]

HAHAHAHAHA no

[jade leaf]

gotta just keep going man i took almost 30 tries non stop gotta react quick know where they come from hear their steps listen to civies calling them out

the hardest part was the begining level becuase of allll the cover while the top they just bum rush you and you can play tower deffense

[brave jolt]

What are those black stick things by the doors?
Are they explosives?

[jade leaf]

oh yeah bring a mirror gun and try to avoid shooting through doors its VERY inconsistent

[jade leaf]

their motion detectors they alert enemies tro where you are and they WILL john wick you if you hit them if you use nvg you can see the laser

their not just on the door their everywhere

theirs also ammo boxes scattered around that replenish ammo

[brave jolt]

Im gonna break my monitor, i just buckshot a dude in the head, and he just stared at me and one tapped me.

[jade leaf]

what shotgun you using?

[unkempt granite]

try out the MK-V sidearm, it deals a lot of dmg

[brave jolt]

870CQB

[jade leaf]

it just has like no ammo and the inertia is annoying

[jade leaf]

try the b1301 your headshots will always kill

and sometimes its not a headshot it just hits their vest and the flinh makes your bullet miss

[brave jolt]

Enteryman or normal?

[cedar mulch]

Why is the suspect’s MK18 so much more powerful than the SWAT team’s? Its penetration power is also superior to that of the players’.

[jade leaf]

their both the same but i used the entryman

[jade leaf]

they use a MK1 and FN fals not just the 18 and its not ours peirces their armor to its just they dont like go down in one shot which is annoying

i tried using it and sometimes one tapped center mass other times got railed

[cedar mulch]

I’m talking about the 100-round drum magazine for the MK18 used by Los Lcoos

[jade leaf]

becuase shoot shoot

[brave jolt]

Should i keep the flashlight on or should i strobe it?

[jade leaf]

i keep it i had it on it worked barely up to you

anyways just keep at it bro and like use stingers or flashes they only effective for like 2 seconds or 3 but its enough to open a door and shoot

[solemn crag]

S tier on valley of the Dolls boys😎

It only took 24 attempts😭

[pulsar forge]

Nice its a bug

[flat sparrow]

im never s tiering valley of the dolls

voll is getting holes everywhere

[solemn crag]

I didn't even know about the second soft objective

[brave jolt]

BRO
You weren't kidding, the B1301 is just wrecking house, one shell to the chest takes them OUT

[neat dome]

any tips to S rank relapse and hide and seek im kinda having a struggle with them 😔

[gentle python]

Flash launcher

[solemn crag]

Nah, just did valley for the shirt

I'm kinda trash ngl

[gentle python]

(and anti-flash goggles obv)

[neat dome]

I didnt get the deluxe edition 😔

[gentle python]

I didn't either

[solemn crag]

Me neither man, I'm broke

[neat dome]

oh ur talking about the other flash launcher

[solemn crag]

It's a long tac

[gentle python]

I did almost the entire game S-rank with flash launcher

[gentle python]

No, it's an option in the primary selection

But there is also a M302 flash launcher in the long tac slot

[solemn crag]

Ohhhhh

[gentle python]

I'm talking abt the rotary flash launcher

[solemn crag]

Oh did you pre order?

[gentle python]

Nope

[neat dome]

me too i didnt pre order

[gentle python]

I bought it the standard version post 1.0

[solemn crag]

Are you on Xbox or steam?

[gentle python]

Steam

[solemn crag]

Oh that's why

[gentle python]

Do y'all not have the rotary flash launcher on console?

[solemn crag]

I can't afford a pc

Only if you pre order or buy the deluxe

[gentle python]

Oh that's fuckin dumb

[solemn crag]

Exactly

[neat dome]

they dont have a separate option to buy the 3 weapons or make them free 😔

[solemn crag]

They're mean

[neat dome]

i was hoping they would do that this update but no 😔

[solemn crag]

I think exclusives while there's also cross play is kinda stupid

[brave jolt]

Darn, i got dead again..
try number 20

[neat dome]

yea, i wish i have the flash launcher it would make everything much more easier

[solemn crag]

For s tier I prefer the beanbag, just aim low

[neat dome]

sometimes i accidentally hit the head 😭

[solemn crag]

As long as you take it slow and use actual swat tactics for clearing rooms, it's works pretty decent

[quasi coral]

I know right

[solemn crag]

Exactly

[surreal pelican]

Hard mode enemy esp on ana bugged; their reaction time is back to pre nerf

[solemn crag]

The vault stuff on the dlc is peak

[neat dome]

but for the new dlc is like borderline impossible 😔

[solemn crag]

True

[neat dome]

especially getting that one achievement of going in solo on hard 😔

[solemn crag]

I refuse to even attempt it

[neat dome]

me too even if i dont follow the ROE 😭

[solemn crag]

Rip

[gentle python]

Beanbag is good for realism's purpose but I prefer the flash launcher because of effectiveness

[solemn crag]

Makes sense

[gentle python]

Whenever I run a patrol officer kit I run beanbag primary and Glock secondary

[solemn crag]

If I had the launcher I'd just use it, but once again Xbox

[gentle python]

Massive skill issue lol

[solemn crag]

Bru

[gentle python]

I'm just fucking with you, not everyone can afford a PC

[neat dome]

crazy 😭

[gentle python]

I'm thankful I built mine like 2 years ago lmao

[solemn crag]

I don't even need half the stuff on the deluxe, I just want that launcher

[brave jolt]

Dude i cannot do this, anytime im about to clear a room, a guy is just READY for me, aiming at the door about to pop me.

[solemn crag]

I have -$ in my account

[neat dome]

hopefully they’ll add a buy option but atp we’ll prob stop playing the game when that come out 😔

[solemn crag]

Yeh

[gentle python]

I would if I didn't just buy a new Weezer record

[solemn crag]

😂

[molten prairie]

If on standard or below, you can generally beat em to the shot if you free lean the door.

On hard however, good luck.

[brave jolt]

Hard solo for the achiv.

[molten prairie]

Uh, good luck then.

[solemn crag]

Or just wear steel players and cover everything

And pray

[molten prairie]

I’ve yet to figure out a reliable way of clearing against hard enemies that doesn’t result in taking damage and isn’t reliant on RNG.

[neat dome]

imagine someone complete a new america on hard solo S rank 🥹

[molten prairie]

I’ve had some limited success with the shield but you still take some limb damage.

And eventually you’re gonna go down.

[solemn crag]

I do a shield, heavy armor, a beanbag, and God's will bro😭

[molten prairie]

I wonder if the developers have ever actually played hard.

[gentle python]

I've never actually played hard

[brave jolt]

And i just got shot in the back, how in the fuck do you disable those stupid motion sensor things

[slim fern]

go to the sensor on the wall, they can be cut like tripwires

[gentle python]

I told myself I would after I finished the base game missions S-rank but I just about jumped after I actually did and never got around to playing on hard

[solemn crag]

Me neither I refuse

[molten prairie]

Honestly, I like most things about hard.

The increased damage, the more aggressive AI, more suspects, more traps, etc etc.

The one thing that just makes me despise it however is the suspect reaction time.

[solemn crag]

Srry for the late response, my Wi-Fi is at negative bars😭

[gentle python]

The game's hard enough imo lmao

[molten prairie]

75ms avg reaction time makes normal CQB tactics go out the window.

And instead you’ve gotta cheese the AI which ain’t fun.

[solemn crag]

How?!?😭

[molten prairie]

Short answer. You can’t. No human can operate on the reaction time the AI do.

[solemn crag]

That's fair

[molten prairie]

So it’s entirely up to chance on whether you get shot or not if they see you.

[quasi coral]

Translating..

I play the game to enjoy and have fun

[molten prairie]

This makes pieing and peeking pointless since you don’t get any form of reaction advantage.

[surreal pelican]

Small ass interact area

[brave jolt]

Okay so
Mirrorwanding under the door, blasting through the door apparantly doesn't work cause the FUCKING A.I TELEPORTS DOWN THE FUCKING HALL

[unkempt granite]

is there any way to remove that whenever you enter a bright room the light sources are intensified for like a second before calming down?

like for example on rust belt if you enter the warehouse and look outside it's bright as hell and when you go out it's still bright and it has to pass a second for it to stabilize

[surreal pelican]

Forget about the achievement; it's tough on its own and the suspect reaction time esp on ana hard is faster than usual

I gave up long ago too

Even black sentinel on hard their reaction time isn't as fast/bullshit as MLO

[brave jolt]

This feels like Pre-Update Ides of March for how insane the A.I is.

[surreal pelican]

It is

I'm just waiting for the patch or hotfix where they change the reaction time or maybe; god willing; tweak the hard ai

[tiny girder]

Fix the bugs bruh

Ts still buggy

[brave jolt]

I can't disarm traps? my mulit tool is gone

[surreal pelican]

I'm just gonna enjoy standard until they fix the bugged achievement (my eyes) and then the hard mode reaction time

[somber wolf]

forgot it at home, huh?

[brave jolt]

Who ever idea it was for this to be an achievement for SOLO MULTIPLAYER lobby should have their spacebar removed for a week.

[lost inlet]

This should be more normalize.

[brave jolt]

Okay. the A.I totally has wallhacks dude, i just saw the suspect litterally walk up, staring at me AROUND A CORNER and as soon as he peaked i died.

[quasi coral]

Some people enjoy the challenge, so yea I gotta respect that

But MAN you get fatigued so much easier

[flat sparrow]

use flashes?

[tropic siren]

random question, is* the Radio chatter in the main menu actual police scanner chatter?

[flat sparrow]

no well technically in-game police chatter yes, there is a room in the police station, with cctv's displays etc you can hear it there loud and clear

[surreal pelican]

"We all break, eventually. Some just.. make a little more noise."

[tropic siren]

I see. always assumed it was some kind of legit chatter recording, similiar to how COD4's box art was an actual photo of an soldier iirc.

[proven blade]

So what exactly are the cohorts of the MLO?

[tropic siren]

goal wise, as far as im aware, theyre out to dismantle the los suenos government, or atleast sway it significantly.

[proven blade]

No like, there’s difference I mean, 1st-3rd

[somber wolf]

Ayy my first attempt at No Good Deeds got an A rank, and it was with randoms!

[proven blade]

No good deed is light work if you secure from the docks

[tropic siren]

listen i gotta be honest, i am dumber than a rock. would you mind explaining what your asking in terms a 5YO could comprehend?

[somber wolf]

We didn’t :3

[tropic siren]

ive found the roadway infil point easier tbh. since your just outside the arcade + have less a chance of being sniped by someone at the merry-go-round

[proven blade]

It’s mentioned judge is part of the third cohort of the MLO/USIA, what is that and the 1st and 2nd

[pine token]

i'm not sure he mentions a third cohort, i thought he just mentions two cohorts, but then says judge is special

[proven blade]

Oh yeah

He sure is

[pine token]

judge is perhaps the only successful case of the experiment, because the guy comes in talking about how judge can't feel stress and stuff

[proven blade]

I wonder what Judge was like pre USIA, I just know he was in CPD

[thick thorn]

@jade leaf How

[warm gate]

You can get unlocks on casual cant you?

[proven blade]

Yes, hard is only for achievements

[waxen grove]

they locked the achievements behind hard mode?

[tropic siren]

Some of them, yes. others you can get playing normal.

[waxen grove]

oh good, i have no intention of playing hard mode, atleast until they rework the ai

[pine token]

hard mode is basically 1.0

i love playing it for that reason ngl

[warm gate]

I don't really go for dlc achievements but i know ANA is prolly the only s rank im gonna try because of the watch

[lost inlet]

yeah agree. The crowd that thinks max difficulty is the only difficulty that you're allowed to play or even exists in the game genuinely ruins the fun. And if you play any lower, you'd get make fun of for some reason.

[warm gate]

I havent moved off standard until now because im going to test and get used to the maps before i try anything else

[waxen grove]

the ai has never really felt fair or fun

there has been times in this game where the ai was easy and times when it was supid hard but never when it was fair

[pine token]

the suspect ai is basically perfect rn imo

[warm gate]

Im playing casual for boiling point because even on casual they move like crazy if it werent for the helicopter i would have lost a civ

[thick thorn]

Not the dudes on a new america on hard

i get its supposed to be hard but its hella unrealistic that they see 1 pixel of you and ur insta headtapped

[pine token]

the hard mode ai are clearly not meant to be realistic imo, they're a throwback to the cracked 1.0 ai

[warm gate]

The new dudes are on crack kinda

And does anyone know if the gas cannisters on the back of the people on the pier explode if you shoot them

[reef spade]

I'm still curious, for those who recently played Greased Palms, have you encountered the bug where a suspect doesn't react to anything and stands next to a weapons crate? Or is there another bug where a FISA agent stands on a balcony and doesn't react to anything?

[warm gate]

I think its usually the fisa agent

[reef spade]

I often have a suspect near a car with a weapon, I wrote a report about this, but he disappeared somewhere, this is a bug because of which I was unable to complete this map on S on high difficulty, and if not for the bug I could have done this more than 5 times😭

[light dust]

I despise a new America with all my heart, I want to put my fist through my monitor

[warm gate]

The greased palms mission is heavy ragebait lwk

[warm gate]

What guns do you have?

[light dust]

I tried so many

[reef spade]

This map is already terrible, although I'm used to all maps and know how to clear them correctly, but in any case, Greased Palms is not very pleasant, and now there are bugs there

[light dust]

Mp7 mostly

[warm gate]

Mp7 is good people say battle rifles are good for fighting the mlo guys also if you got the m32 flash launcher people say thats good

[reef spade]

Yes, even though I could have completed it alone without taking any damage and there was a bug with the suspect, I'm so upset that purely logically I completed the map, but judging from the game's point of view, I didn't complete it because of the bug

[warm gate]

No

[reef spade]

Adam, agent FISA, True Adam☠️☠️☠️

[dreamy yoke]

I need to try out upping my difficulty, rn its just spam f and win (75 percent of the time at least)

[light dust]

I just dint fucking get it im so sick of getting the drop on them and watching them do a full fucking 180 because they sense me looking at them apparently

[warm gate]

Oh ofc if you got all the civs see if your officers will search and secure if you got ai that might help

[warm gate]

Yea the ai are insane i heard abt how bad the haunted house in the pier was too

[dreamy yoke]

search n sec has saved my runs man, I HATE civ searching

[light dust]

There's no point in taking in heavy armor either

They just nail you in the face

[reef spade]

The thing is, I cleared the entire map, but if a FISA agent or a suspect near a weapon catches a bug, then that's it. I can only look at it and realize that I missed out on an S rank on a high difficulty on this map once again, and there's nothing I can do about it. I won't get an S rank as compensation, and the bug won't be fixed anytime soon, especially when I saw that my report on this matter disappeared somewhere; as I understand it, it was deleted

[light dust]

I managed to not get hit a single fucking time with heavy armor and a face shild on and I mad it to the final floor and got my face drilled in at the stairs

[lusty light]

it would be nice if my guys ACTUALLY searched and secured. Half the time one goes around and tries but the other 2 just freeze up like they're running Windows XP and do fuck all

[reef spade]

The only thing that tires me out is the thought that I have to go through this map again and again because of the developers' oversight

[warm gate]

I get that honestly for probably one of the biggest missions too it sucks for restarting

[dreamy yoke]

red team seems less temperamental, blue hates me so heard there lol...I spam the command 4-5 times and eventually either I find them or they do

[crude prism]

Man I'd send the "greased palms jumpscare" meme but mr "be civil" would smite me

[dreamy yoke]

I also rarely split commands by team unless I'm pressed for space or like 9 doors

[reef spade]

This might seem funny and amusing to you, but I find it easier to solo hide and seek at S rank on high difficulty, but not this garbage called greased palms, where the most wonderful attempt will be cut short as soon as you see a suspect who has bugged

[light dust]

The top floor of ANA is a fucking slaughterhouse because there's no fucking cover for you at the top of the stairs

[warm gate]

Oh i soloed hide and seek and twisted nerve for the loadout achievements

[fading pumice]

yo anyone getting a weird stutter? just redownloaded it and when i walk it starts going all wack

[inland ether]

Has anyone get Way Out West achievement since the last game update? It seems it's not working anymore. I completed The Rust Belt 5 times yesterday, reading more and more guides after each attempt. But still haven't get it.
On my last attempt I: had only shield on my back and never used it. All my slots are only pistol mags, Magnum as a weapon, no attachments on it. After starting the mission on Standard difficulty, switched to Magnum and never lowered it or changed to another weapon. Never touched any door, suspect or evidence. My swat AI team didn't use any tools, explosives or shields. Doors were always opened by AI kicking them. Nobodya died in the team. I even reassigned hotkey for commands from MMB to H (don't think it affect anything but did it out of desperation). All I did is just issued commands and killed 3 suspects with Magnum. Didn't even use NVG once. I got a B grade and still no achievement. No ideas left, only huge disappointment.

[warm gate]

It does mostly where are you when it does mostly

[balmy patio]

@crude prism sorry gang but do you know what attachment helps make the gun go torwards your crosshair faster, aka what helps the ADS center in faster or sway less or maybe that accuracy stat does something

[fading pumice]

anywhere, when i loaded into the lobby, when i got in the game. never had these issues before so idk

[crude prism]

Void putting as much visual clutter as possible in front of like 2 giant sightlines, an inconvenient middle, and two side rooms that makes you exposed to 42 angles as soon as you hit the top of the stairs (for fun)

Absolutely miserable, the worst gameplay in this game is "long" range and they add a bunch of foliage and statues and see-through glass boxes for the AI to pixel grief on.

[warm gate]

Is your game set to performance or quality?

[fading pumice]

im not sure, i just went and did the optimize on nvidia and its still doing it, ill look into it tho

[reef spade]

Btw, have you seen that the missions involving terrorists and bomb belts have been slightly changed, or more precisely, that some NPCs will only sit down after you defuse the bomb that's on them
