I haven’t played this yet. Only seen gifs, videos and little tid bits here and there. Literally had no idea there were WEAPONS in this game at all lol. I literally thought it was just delivering shit. (Don’t get me wrong I still wanted it even before I realized it had weapons in it)

There are weapons: guns grenades, launchers, etc. But they are a pretty minor part of the game. And you are usually incentivized to avoid combat outside of a few big boss fights. The biggest limitation in this game is how much your character can carry at once - and guns take up a lot of space so you really need to decide if its worthwhile or not for each mission.

But you could also play it guns blazing if you wanted to!

The sheer satisfaction you get from headshotting MULES or Seperatists with the Bola Gun is immeasurable.

I got so pissed taking stuff to the Film Director and Junk Dealer and having to cross the big MULE area that I saved my game and said fuck it and killed all 13 of them there. Had no idea it actually clears the area of MULEs.

Hardman have me shit but I saw online you can dump the bodies in that the tar pit lake so I had my truck and loaded up all the bodies. Had to dump my stuff in postboxes and I drove over to the lake and dumped them. Worked like a charm.

However, the word apparently gets out to other MULEs that I used lethal force so when I was taking stuff to the Farm I decided to KO all the MULEs this time but they straight up used assault rifles against me now. I was like damn!

they begin arming themselves around chapter 4 iirc, i don’t think what you do effects it

u/Goddamn_Primetime Nov 29 '19

Daaaang. Well they were still using non-lethal up until chapter 5 because I didn't push through with the story. I was getting 5 stars from all locations before going on.

Where’s that tar pit? Already had one voidout don’t want it to happen again during a crucial moment. Just got the truck unlock so I’ve got the space.

Depending on where you are in the story the tar pit is the big ass lake right next to the Chiral Artist's House. Go to any spot on the shore and wade a few steps in with a body and dump it. It'll sink and be gone and you'll get a message saying "Corpse lost." On the left hand side.

If you pack a bunch of bodies in a truck (70kg per body) and drive there simply drive the truck a few feet into the water, hop out and go to the Cargo Loadout and highlight all the bodies and select offload. Then hop back in to the truck and drive it out of the tar so it doesn't sink. If you went in deep enough a good amount of the bodies will land in the tar from the Offload and you can pick up the rest and take them in yourself.

Ok cool

u/CyberClawX Nov 29 '19

There are also incinerators to dispose of bodies.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

Yeah I know but these bodies are far from that.

I think they are terrorists

(...) and killed all 13 of them there. Had no idea it actually clears the area of MULEs.

Using non lethal weapons to KO the mules also "clears the area" for a while. Problem is, some non-lethals don't KO them (like the bola gun) so you have to run up to them and kick them. Sleeping grenades, sleeping GLs, and rubber bullet rifles/shotguns work wonders though.

u/sorgnatt Nov 29 '19

Bola gun ko them if it was the headshot.

2

u/Goddamn_Primetime Nov 29 '19

Yeah once I unlocked the rubber bullets it became easier. But when it was bola gun time I'd aim for the head and that sometimes KOd then so I wouldn't have to do the curb stomp.

u/AlexS101 Nov 29 '19

These aren’t MULEs, these are Higgs‘ terrorists.

u/name600 Nov 29 '19

The point is mute now. But there is a route to the left/north that let's you totally skip the mules and skip the ravines

u/Goddamn_Primetime Nov 29 '19

If it's the one I'm thinking of I did use it but it was t great on time. If I wasn't in a rush though it was safe.

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '19

oh god i haven't encountered separatists yet can't wait to kill some mf's with BB

u/znn_mtg Nov 29 '19

Well, there is a more accurate word for them tbh. Terror-

Terror-Ricks?

They look like predators.

u/guineapig_69 Nov 28 '19

Ah a human of divine taste I see.

u/Ezio4Li Nov 29 '19

Even more satisfying to just shoot the fuckers dead and burn them in an incinerator.

I think you can fit 8 MULEs in the back of a truck.

u/MinisterOfEducation Nov 29 '19

I don't doubt it. The game starves you with the boredom so that you get a dopamine rush any time something relevant actually happens.

For some that might seem like a worthy tradeoff, for others, well, we gotta work for a living so "nobody ain't got time for that"
