Just finished the second fort in the southern map - the one on the eastern edge.  Three alarms, but not too difficult to go in completely silent.  The only problem is that there were two heavies, and I did not have the AMR, so the last they I had to do by take-down

Love it, my heart was pumping, and I was only watching the vid  :-X

Don't you have the Buzzsaw PZ? it turns the heavy's into mince  :-D

[Art Blade]

nice one  :-D Your SA-50 may not be as powerful as an AMR but it is powerful enough to kill heavies with a headshot.

[nexor]

Did the required 3 Hurk missions, linear as the main missions but lot of action and enjoyable.
That released the harpoon gun, very cumbersome, not a weapon for fast reaction and quick shooting.
I liberated two outposts and tried to use it as much as possible but got killed more times than I can recall.
I would only use it if I'm out for some fun, otherwise not the weapon for me.
I compiled a clip with a few harpoon shots, was very difficult to get some nice hit without being shot to pieces.

Thanks guys - for some reason I've only had success using the SA-50 when shooting a heavy through the face plate when trying for single shot kills - didn't want to take the chance since there were only two bad guys left and I had the opportunity to take them down since I could get both from behind from my vantage point.

Yes, I have the buzzsaw, but wanted to try completing completely undetected.

Man, that's quite a dart, nex - really throws the targets far!

I really like the planning it takes to successfully go in completely silent, and take out all alarms - typically from several different directions as you set the stage.

You're going to love the open world parts of the game, mandru - the game mechanics seem quite a bit better than what I remember from FC3

Another compilation of clips.

Some dude walks right into the gyro-copter blade and regrets it.
I try to do a sneaky take down of some army guys at a hostage rescue but completely screw that up and have to go with the smg. sigh
Then I put some C4 and mines out in anticipation of some army guys showing up, and they do.
Flying in Shangri-La? No problem.
Noore's fortress, where PZ did it silent and undetected, I do it loud and messy.

Trapped

What an idiot :lol
You deserve +1 for that one DB

I often go silent PZ, that is of course if the darn animals won't try to have me for breakfast.
I take the Z93, AMR, the bolt shooter and the buzzsaw to have a selection of silent and load weapons

I will try and get better shots with the harpoon gun next time  :-D

[mandru]

Jeez D_B, you got the blame for his death even though it was a clear case of Darwinian intervention.  ???

Nex, there's quite a sweet bit of knock back to that harpoon gun.  >:D

Thanks for sharing the vids guys.  :)

[Binnatics]

The harpoon gun is amazing indeed. But I miss the rope. I thought it would be a tool to attach yourself to a raging Rhino or a mad shark. Would be just the kind of outboard motor you'd want >:D

[Art Blade]

D_B, cool fortress liberation  :-X :-D

[Dweller_Benthos]

Thanks guys.

The harpoon gun looks cool, what do you have to do to get it normally? I've done a couple Hurk missions and he's shown it to me, but it hasn't appeared in the weapon shop yet.

[mandru]

Here you go D_B.

Cool video, D_B  :-X

[Art Blade]

the harpoon seems to be the right tool for rhinos  :-D

[PZ]

The buzzsaw is not bad either  >:D

[Art Blade]

oh yes :-() And as D_B showed, C-4. I like sticky C-4 a lot. Toss it at wild animals and let them run around with a pack on their back.. then press "ignition"  >:D

[nexor]

Thanks guys.

I don't know about other game versions D-B, included in the version I have is Hurk's Redemption Limited Edition with activation key which gives you three missions.
After the third mission the harpoon gun became available in the Signature weapons slot

[PZ]

Just did the burning the drug fields mission, and it seemed only proper to use a flamethrower as my main weapon against the mercs  >:D

You mean the Royal Army?   ;) ;)

[Dweller_Benthos]

Thanks guys, haven't been offered the third Hurk mission yet.

Did the first Willis mission last night, funny line referencing FC3 "At least you're better than the So-Cal douche-bag I had to babysit on my last mission"

LOL perfect description of What's-his-name Brody or something. Might be one of the reasons I never really got into FC3 much beyond completing it, the main character you play as is pretty much unlikable.

A brief comment on Jason Brody's namby-pamby reaction to skinning animals:

After the first 20 skins or so    \:/    ^{Grow a pair and get the hell over it!}

...Thank you for you patience.  We now return you to your scheduled programing...

[PZ]

You mean the Royal Army?   ;) ;)

Actually, no - Art also tried to get me to call them that, but they look way more like a rag-tag merc force than army members, especially "Royal"  :-()

You should call them "Royal Mercs"  ;) :-() :-()
