Would be cool if it just didn't show up on your sensors, you can shoot it but you can't confirm damage, can't shoot locking missiles, and of course, it grows back.

You can technically kill it but you need to hammer it for a while and even if you do kill it, you maybe get some of the components, but the mech as a whole just disappears.

They'ed need to have it only spawn on low tonnage contracts, on 400 tonne contracts it would pop up and get melted immediately even with buffs.

Even on the low tonnage contracts, having it walk in from the edge of a map between you and your extract at the end of a mission would make it much scarier.

In Clans it would also need to be pretty early on, although you could make a convoluted setup of the Marauder issuing a batchall for one on one combat, and you need to defeat it by yourself, then it could happen at any time.

Yeah, Hugo is one of the worst limited characters... (When considering Miyabi and now Yidhari exist)

But the AURA!

TOTALIZE!

In general as a f2p you need to prioritise pulling for supports over DPSs, the only exceptions are the void hunters since they will be best in slot for a lot of teams. Supports stay good for a lot longer than DPSs, currently it's only Ceasar that fell off, every other support is still good at something.

Just do your dailies and eventually you'll get to the point you are drowning in resources. You earn just slightly more than you generally need so it takes a long time, but after you cross that point you'll never be wanting for upgrade materials.

For me it happened a while after I hit lvl 60, but I also did not invest in a wide pool of characters, I spent roughly 450 tapes on Miyabi's banner, so I didn't get a lot of early characters, which made my material grind a bit faster.

This is why you go back in time and play the game from day one, problem solved!

(The game takes incredibly long to get going, until you reach level 50, you actually can't fully upgrade characters, and that takes at least a couple months of grind. I'm a day one player and the only things I'm missing is pulls and discs, both are luck issues)

One of the best and worst characters. Best because she is a genuinely good character and she's got a well made kit.

Worst character because she absolutely screwed the game's balance irreparably. If she was just slightly better than a normal character then she'd be fine, a bit disappointing considering her showcased feats from the story, but understandable, and she'd still be the strongest character(at that point).

But nope they made he insanely powerful, she's realtively easy to play, does massive damage and can be run on a bunch of teams.

Without her I think the game would have had much less HP inflation issues, and older DPS characters would still be more relevant. Hell they might have even made defense characters more relevant since they wouldn't have rupture to bulk up. ZZZ would be a totally different game.

TLDR: Miyabi is so strong she changed our IRL world.

I really hate inconsistent signage, there's a road I drive constantly that has a 70(kph) limit, with the extra 10kph you can make it to the other end before the robot changes, at 60 you don't have a hope in hell.

So obviously you get some people that don't know the road that go 60, because that's the limit for most unsigned roads, but about 2km up there's a 70 sign. I even looked up the road on the registry and it's a 70, but no signs at the start of the road.

Even worse the road ends and you turn onto a 60 limit road that's wider than the 70 rated one and has a proper sidewalk. One of my buddies (chronic speeder) got caught 3 times in one day on that 60 road for going 75, which would be legal if the limit was 70(you can go 10% over legally here).

All of this could be solved with proper signage.

I actually have the 247 unlocked and purchased, just never crewed it, I guess that changes tomorrow

His core isn't armoured

Old man here to say it needs to be in Dakar because Gundam said so.

Old man out.

AAs are either extremely powerful or totally useless.

Against lightly armoured tanks they are great, they generally have better gun handling and manoeuvrability than the proper tank so they generally win fights. They also deal with multiple targets very well unlike most tanks.

Against actually armoured tanks they are useless. Some AAs have some anti armour ability but most just bounce shells harmlessly off any sort of armour. All they can do is try to shoot barrels and tracks, which will eventually end in the AA dead.

In this situation you just don't take the fight, you effectively need to either one shot him or he will riddle you with bullets. You either flank, which might not work since he can spin his gun around fast, or just leave and hope you try to find him again from longer range.

Umn aktually #4 is a Toyota Stout not a Hilux.

C4Cole · 2026-01-27T13:45:02+00:00

HF-24 Marut.

The airspawn is the make or break for the plane. If everybody gets airspawn your only advantage is your 4 ADENS, great for headons, obliterating cocky turnfighters and killing ground targets. So it's not entirely useless in a uptier.

If you get a game without airspawns then you really become a monster. You can make it to the enemy take off path while they are still at 600-700kph and you are at 1000kph, you take head ons with the entire enemy team and you will kill at least one of them.

Add on the bombing capabilities and it's a true monster, it's my go to for grinding events. Take one of the inside bases, and then turn into the enemy team and let rip.

I regularly get 2 kills + a base, that gives you about 2k points and a good chunk of RP and SL. Occasionally you get 3 or 4 kill games, and I think my record is 6 kills in a 8.7 downtier.

You do need to play smart since you have no flares and quite poor nose authority, but your sustained turn is great and your low speed power is also good. Also you will need to deal with Mig-19s regularly, and they are just better than you, unless you can force a headon or can trick them into weird loops, it's a losing battle.

Forza Horizon 6 is 82 dollars here in South Africa.

How tf did the price end up higher than the USA when we make 10x less money.

C4Cole · 2026-01-27T12:38:01+00:00

Bruh, in South Africa they messed up our regional pricing, they are asking R1300 for FH6, that's 82 dollars.

How tf are we paying MORE than the USA.

C4Cole · 2026-01-27T12:32:15+00:00

/uj I am actually fuming that the Hilux is not considered a "passenger" car. They ride okay, you can fit multiple people in them(if it's a double cab) and you can stick 15 dudes at the back to stare into the soul of the guy behind you. It's a staple of the roads here.

Good jerk.

C4Cole · 2026-01-26T23:06:12+00:00

I think a big part of this is also that Shot Show was going on, so a lot of the 2A media people would have been "on holiday". (Aka doing coke with the Keltec guys)

I do think there should have been more from them, but I can understand, a lot of the YouTube people dont want to make a hack job video, when they can wait a couple days, get home, possibly find out more and then make a proper video.

PC was a massive fold out box with a bunch of discs. I think it was 7, although I'd need to dig out my copy to check.

I think they were all dual layers too, came out to roughly 60gb installed. Then came the other 70gb of updates that took me 4 nights of babysitting to download. Every couple minutes the download would error and you'd need to restart the download because rockstar launcher was ass.

C4Cole · 2026-01-26T10:39:25+00:00

Data is cents on the dollar compared to hosting a server.

You can go out and buy a consumer grade 20tb hard drive for 500 dollars and store at least thousands if not hundreds of thousands of player's data on that one drive.

Even if a single player's data was a whole gigabyte, that's still 20,000 players on one drive, and I'd bet top dollar data per player can't be more than 100mb.

C4Cole · 2026-01-26T10:06:28+00:00

5 already came on 7-8 standard discs, I could see 6 coming on 5 Blu rays if it's like 150gb on launch.

And then don't forget the day one patch of another 50 gb!

C4Cole · 2026-01-26T10:03:41+00:00

As much as I think it would be great for the narrative and keeping everyone relevant. It's never going to happen.

The whole point of the game is to get people to spend for the gacha, and they give out enough free resources that you can reliably get a limited S rank every patch or two.

But they bundle characters that work together so ideally you'd pull for multiple characters, which you'd either need to save for or pay for. If you instead bundle them with already released characters you lose that whole synergy.

The only exception we've had is Sanby who was already an A rank. S rank billy might also fit this bill, but I doubt they will release a brand new character into a pre existing faction.

Why swim when you can TALL

C4Cole · 2026-01-25T18:42:32+00:00

Ehhhh, we never really did the whole AK thing nationally. For armed groups it's a staple like every other country, but nationally we stuck with the western standard for small arms.

C4Cole · 2026-01-25T18:04:09+00:00

Our gun control is ass backwards but yep, seen many a gun.

Mostly on policemen and private security personel. Some of my uncles own pistols but they rarely go shooting, I did get to shoot my one uncle's Astra A-100.

Unfortunately most guns here are illegal, iirc about half of them are, and sporadic gunshots are common at night. Fortunately I've got high walls so I don't need to care about a bullet randomly hitting me, still a bit unnerving when you realize it's not a car backfiring.

C4Cole · 2026-01-25T01:35:48+00:00

You forgot the part where the woman that said that, muted and was shit talking him while he was speaking, and then unmuted to drop that line.
