This literally just happened to me as I was using a zipline to the final point of a prepper stash. Couldn't leave until the mission was done so had to finish it before I could go back and claim the stash. Good thing my memory was good because the stash was "completed" as I was ported away and was gone from the map.
I have never been a fan of forced missions.
Yikes. It would be one thing if this was alluded to in dialogue as something that could happen but this just coming out of nowhere felt really bizarre. I legitimately thought the game launched a mission by accident.
It's a perk. It comes after the parachute perk.
Space while falling deploys the parachute and Shift by default deploys the wing suit.
i think it fits the whole fever-dream style they are aiming at so you just don`t know whats real and what`s in your mind. And you know beforehand when you fill a dot on the resistance meter, the next "main mission" happens, where they pull you out into these nightmarish missions...
I'm not far in yet but I have a question regarding perks. If I have enough points to spend can I unlock them in any order or if I want a certain perk do I need to unlock every one before it? Some of the perks don't sound that great while some do. I kinda feel like I'll be wasting points or should I not worry too much?
For people who have finished already or have at least played quite a bit...is it likely by the end of the game you'll have unlocked all perks or do you need to be careful what you spend points on?

What the FUCK is that on rails section on the TUTORIAL on hard? This shit is impossible and SO BAD
I am enjoying the game so far and it is packed with the usual Far Cry goofiness. Any game that let's me hunt Turkeys with a shovel is cool with me...
Yes it has HDR and it is working fine for me on my X and KS8000.

Yup, go down to Easy. I don't know if it was a bug or not, but I repeated that section at least 10 times on Hard and Normal to no avail. First playing on Hard I couldn't go more than two or three hits before being drained of all health and even staying in the car didn't protect me. Even when I tried reducing the difficultly to Normal it was the same, felt like no difference at all, my character was basically made of paper. But when I went down to easy nothing could hurt me. I stayed outside the vehicle the entire time and never went below 75%, each hit did barely anything and regen kicked in super fast.
I've since gone back to Hard after that segment and I'm doing perfectly fine. I'm routinely running into mobs of enemies with just a pistol and headshoting everyone without much trouble. Something about that opening section is broken.
I'm a few hours deep at this point, and one of my strongest opinions is that I am not fond of the intro really at all, after mostly everyone else hyping it up and loving it. The game is really good after it, but the actual intro itself I don't like. That entire on-rails section is stupid as fuck to me.
I don't really like on-rails sections so it might just be me
It is mind boggling that this got by QA into the released game.
It's the tutorial! Any other game would just make it impossible to die.
I'm almost thinking it's a bug if you play it on hard. I did the same thing, then dropped it to normal and it was just as impossible. Only dropping to easy made it so I could pass that section.
Maybe if you start the game on hard, dropping the game to normal is bugged and it stays at hard difficulty.
I'm a little bummed out with Arcade so far. It feels like a mess. The ability to find new maps is absolutely terrible, the filters are almost worthless. Playing online it's just a bunch of terrible maps being played which aren't much fun at all.
Why isn't there a featured section for example?
Edit - found featured. Still seems the trash filter to the top by default for casual players so it's a bad experience.

You can get the perks in any order, with some exceptions like you can't get health 2 before health 1 and so forth.
Yeah, but you need to remember (not trying to be mean here)
It's launch day
People will be only getting used to the tools and the other thing, Rome wasn't built in a day. The only maps and SP stuff that go up super early I'd bet are the ones done when rushing and just getting a feel for how it all works. Always though, there will be more bad creations than brilliant ones. It's just a realization you have to come to.
That was my guess as well. It's very weird. Before entering the car it wasn't as brutal, getting hit was big but you could take more than a few hits before getting drained. But once you were in that car, simply impossible. And given the astronomical difference between Hard/Normal and Easy I have to imagine there is some bug in changing difficulty as going to Normal from Hard offered zero difference.
Not to be "that guy" but I didn't find this part that bad, made it through first attempt and blew up a lot of cultists. I thought it was pretty great!
I had no issues with the intro on hard. Had a bunch of times in the truck where the screen was flashing red, but never died.

Thanks, it turns out that my TV had an update that disabled HDR for some reason.
The on-rails section is can pretty tough. Given the recoil of the AR anyway, then on top of that, the constant moving in the car while driving, and the enemies being able to hit you when you aren't even leaning out the window either, and then you have to worry about the actual car not blowing up too.
Oh and the over-abundance of enemies
By the time I see the plane again, I don't have anymore first aid kids to heal and no time for auto heal to kick in.
Were you playing on hard difficulty?
Were you on PC or console?
Maybe it's a PC bug?
Yup, this was as far as I ever could get on Hard or Normal. I died a ton of times in the truck just trying to bandage myself. I couldn't lean out of the truck for more than a second before being drained of health, not that being in the cab was all that safe. I thought I was missing something like strategic explosives to trigger chain reactions but there weren't any.
Go down to Easy and it's a cake walk, you will never have to heal or hide in the cab. It's for sure broken on PC.
I can tell you on PC, this mission isn't fun. I tried it on hard first, and then I switched to normal, nothing changed. I get hit no matter what I do, 2 shots is enough to force me to heal. The first truck that chases me will kill me if I don't somehow kill it immediately, which I haven't been able to pull off so far.
Usually yep, but not this time around.
Didn't seem to gel with him in all the places that seem to be gelling for me...and I normally love what he digs, so it's odd.
Yeah I tried it about 10 times on hard on PC, and the longest I could last was when you hit that jump. I'm not slouch when it comes to games, and it just seemed impossible. Dropping it to normal was just as hard, only putting it on easy was I able to get past it.
There is this one gun in particular, that sounds like a magnum that will drain all my health everytime I hear its sound. Every truck has it, and even if only the driver is alive, I will still get hit by it, even if I'm not leaning out.
The only tip I can give people for the intro in the car is, as soon as you start to go low on health, lean back into your car and look dead straight and wait for auto-heal. Don't use any of your medpacks until you're at least halfway through. Just pray you don't get hit with a stray bullet and the car can take the damage.
Yup, it's borked. After that section I went back to Hard and haven't died once from a gun fight after 5+ hours of play just running around with a pistol and bow. It's like a combo of super high damage and super accuracy that just doesn't exist elsewhere in the game.
Huh... I did it first time on Hard on Xbox and I was struggling with the aiming at the time. Adjusting cross hair position and sensitivity has sorted it.
Might be the PC version then. I admit I never liked these sort of sections in first person shooters, even though I loved them, but this is something else lol. Going to try it on easy.
Edit: yup, this is broken. Normal and hard are the same difficulty, on easy no one can shoot straight lol
Weird reading about the problems with intro. I got hit plenty of times on Normal and never died. Went back to car for a sec to heal and kept blasting.
Odd thing happened to me though while clearing . I couldnt get nearby because enemies kept shooting me. They alerted reinforcements and where closing in. Suddenly i got "outpost cleared" message and everybody was dead. I think they might have blown up one of the cars or something.

Strange, I did the intro first time on hard on PC without any issue, only used one medkit and missed literally all of the dynamite throws (I thought I had an unlimited amount lol).
Maybe I just got lucky?
Edit: Probabbly with noting how I played it, which was prioritising car drivers. The AR has unlimited ammo reserves, so it was mostly pop out, unload at driver seats, pop back in, reload and repeat. For the stationary enemies it was mostly just spray and pray without leaning out.

Is there a place to see how many side quests you've done out of a total? Same with Cult Outposts and other activities. Thanks!
I can't believe the UbiClub rewards still aren't available, at least some of them, as well as the pre-order packs.
I feel like Jeff has been really grumpy lately for lack of a better term. Like he's always been a bit "game is trash" if he doesn't like it, regardless of the actual quality of it, but lately it seems like it's even more so than usual. It can be a little frustrating, especially since it seems like a lot of the other crew will just go along with it. Love Giant Bomb, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much with this stuff.
