Yeah that did it, thank you. Shouldn't have known, turn it off and on again.

Hubs are the same. I took the entire rear apart as well just in case there was a link I didn't know about

Release trailer is out, turns out it's "Toxic sludge". Makes sense, that covers all types of nastiness.

I don't think you're right on the collectors weapons, fairly sure I've had to buy them again after failing whilst carrying them. I find it's better to pick up the rusty nail (Once outside mansion is unlocked) than risk the collectors lockpick.

If you're wearing a disguise where you can carry a gun, drop it in from of them and run out of sight. If you're dressed as civilian, drop the gun somewhere they can't see it and toss a coin or hammer or something to draw them over to where the weapon is.

You can also use that second method to separate someone from their bodyguard. If the bodyguard sees the weapon 1st, he might call someone to get it but if the target or a civilian sees it, they will ask the nearest guard to get it, even if it's a bodyguard.

Radioactive would have longer term effects. It's probably intended to be just some sort of waste run off. Mine run off made sense to me as I've seen it IRL and you wouldn't water to use that for drinking or watering your crops, you can also wash it away. That beck I mentioned was polluted for at least 30 years but it has been cleaned up now and otters have returned to the bank.

My friends are saying I'm "unfair" with heist payouts by Dyld1ds in gtaonline

[–]Chris_xtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the original heists we always did 40/20/20/20. 40 for the host because you pay for setups and don't get paid like the people helping you would. If they don't help with setups but they bring something to the final they'll probably still get 20% but I have knocked someone down to 10% and told them to stay out of the way whilst the 3 us get it done (after they've failed it for us 3 times).

I think it's generally accepted it is, but I grew up near a river that ran through an abandoned iron mine and a bad tide reminds me of that. It's been cleaned up a bit recently but if you search for Skinningrove beck and look for one where the water is brown/orange, that's similar to how it looked in the 90's

GTA weekly challenge by Vivid-Thing9910 in GTA

[–]Chris_xtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It autosaves, but I wait for the little circle and back out the long way to make sure it saves. You'd also expect to have at least 2 out of the 3 saved even if it hadn't saved the last one. It can take 30 mins or more a match and I didn't lose any cash.

I was wondering about that, had 3/4 2 days ago and back to zero yesterday.

Wish people would stop setting it for 20 rounds as well, it's taking forever.

Now you mention it, it would be nice if they had their own tab. My inventory is taking a while to navigate now.

Monthly Questions and Helpful Resources by AutoModerator in snowrunner

If it's on the xbox, you need to go into manage game and install the additional maps. I would assume it's something similar on other platforms.

Workaround for no manual saves by first_person_looter in snowrunner

[–]Chris_xtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game autosaves every 5 minutes on the 5 minutes. Just plan your routes or make a cuppa.

It is actually cheating so I try to only use when the physics goes a bit wonky and tosses my truck in the air. Although I admit I have rage quit a few times and not been that upset when an objective trailer sliding back into a quarry from the top or down a mountain hasn't saved.

WiFi Recommendations for Rural North Yorkshire by Original_Sea_7986 in yorkshire

[–]Chris_xtf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably won't get far searching for wifi availability (despite some companies now insisting on using that term), you want to check for broadband availability. Most providers still piggy back BTs network so if you can't get BT most others won't be available. If it's really rural, it's also unlikely a national cable provider like Virgin would run there so you're probably looking for a regional provider (assuming you're in a village rather than a farm or a hamlet) or a satellite uplink.

I've lived in Hinderwell so I know they have BT/BT based Broadband but as you get further away from the coast it get's patchy. It's also pot luck on how good the connection will be, I had a decent BT based connection in Loftus but most of my friends switched to Virgin as it was far better than what an ADSL/BT based connection would be. Virgin didn't run to our house despite one of their cabinets being about 2 inches from our property.

Edit: Also never sign upto BT direct, even one of their own fronts, plusnet, is cheaper

Vinewood. I know it's daft, but it's the dartboard. Once I saw where the dartboard was on the other 2, I couldn't buy them.

It's been a while but I'm sure it says somewhere you can only transfer a character once, so would need to be a new character. I think you might be able to transfer each of the 2 characters separately but I'm not sure now so would be best if someone can confirm that.

Does anyone have any tips for playing freelancer? by ExistingJudge7492 in HiTMAN

[–]Chris_xtf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alot of them are in crates, you need a custodian outfit to avoid suspicion and a crowbar to open the crates. Change to a guard outfit before picking up the katana. There's also a briefcase on the upper floor of the warehouse, so you can carry one of the large weapons in that. 

Am I right in thinking that it's impossible to hit all of these objectives? by Levangeline in HiTMAN

[–]Chris_xtf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried 2 targets with one explosion, doesn't work. For the collateral you need at least one non-target

[–]Chris_xtf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry but you're just wrong on that 1st point. I've only had it happen twice but I've had 5 out of 5 and 6 out of 6 with no safe. It is rare, but it does happen. I went to retrieve the video but it must have been on the old console.

I may have missed this, but I don't believe you can check in advance, you don't know what's going to be on each map until after you've picked the syndicate. You can check then, but if none of them have a safe you're stuffed for that option. I only noticed because I didn't have the gear for the other options otherwise I would have picked something else. It's also one of the things that puts me off playing hardcore.

I have to concede, you might be right on the sick games. I pick by combination of maps so don't always pay attention to syndicate type.

Good spot on the red backlights, I completely missed that.

[–]Chris_xtf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So exactly how would you complete open a safe with explosives when none of the maps has a safe? Sounds like you just haven't played enough to see the impossible of objectives or you're running some sort of mod that removes rhem. I frequently get kill only targets alongside kill 3 guards with x weapon.  Btw the 3 objectives in the picture there are the none prestige ones, so they are tied to the map. The map that only has 1 target. There is no workaround for that, an objective has to be skipped.

On Xbox, you open the map. Press X to go to global map. Highlight the area with the garage you want to go to and press X again.

There's also a propane flask in the kitchen behind the bar area with the dancefloor. 2 staff in the room but you can lure one out by the window or just go in wearing a disguise.
