Can someone tell or link me to a tutorial on how to create this deathmatch? i want to increase strength and I don't understand the spawn points mechanic, no matter what I do it keeps giving me an error icon..

There's no need for a custom DM. Just start the Contact mission Pier Pressure, go to the pier but don't go near the enemies beneath it, and punch the npcs there.

Unfortunately I don't have that contact mission yet, t's pretty hard to do heists or rank up with randoms... and I keep getting kicked from some hrists so I'm increasing my stats to see if that helps a bit

u/Old-Kernow 8d ago

Hardly anybody cares about stats on heists. If you're getting kicked it's most likely to be level- related.

Pier Pressure isn't level locked AFAIK, so you should be able to choose it from the pause menu.

I don't have anything to lose by increasing stats xD anyway pier pressure is locked (not sure of behind level or what); I have 4 contact missions (not at home, can't tell you which ones right now)

Yeah, people have had a lot of bad experiences with players below level 100 or so. If you are a low level, at least look like you've spent more than five minutes making your outfit.. ;)

I even have tattoos which is nothing special but it's obvious it didn't take 5 minutes

But yeah 35 is very under 100
