Hi felixk44, you can buy guns from Tony in San Mona (sector C5). You will need to get past Hans in the sex shop, Tony conducts his business in the back. Jake in Estoni (sector I6) sells only hand guns.

There is a wandering salesman who shows up randomly at bars, his name is Devin and he sells explosives. Franz in Balime (sector L12) sells electronics. Howard in Balime sells energy and regen boosters.

You can't change how your soldier looks by armor, however you can use camo kits to change the overall color to green, brown, or grey.

Franz in Balime (sector L12) also sells some other stuff like the occasional spectra vest, armor plates, camo kits, and also a video camera (used by the robot for the Madlab quest).

Most of the other merchants sell some other related stuff as well, e.g. Tony may sell some grenades, insight lams, reflex sights, mortars etc. and Jake may sell some medkits, flak jakets, bipods (although very rarely). When you free Shank from Tixa, Jake starts selling fuel for the truck(s).

change ini setting for dropdown time to 7200 (only idiots land at 7:00 and not in the night)

withdraw if necessary

hire Lynx or someone els with a good gun (or more for one day) Lynx and Raven have a good gun and night ops

increase money (to hire more or better armed mercs)

practice

@felixk44:

I always land in Omerta during the day, even on Insane it is not that hard, how many enemies do you get, like 12 maybe 15 tops? Some of them (~4) will stay in the bottom left of the map, behind the long group of sandbags. The remaining guys are spread out and take a few rounds to come to you.

What I do is press the equal sign (=) to select my entire squad. Then fast double left mouse click on the inside of the closest house. While the helicopter is hovering I place my fingers over the keyboard to be fast. This will make everyone on my team go into the closest house as fast as possible.

Usually I get interrupted by the guys behind the sandbags to the right, however their guns are so crappy that likely all of their shots miss. If I do get injured, it is not that bad, less than 30 points.

Once I am at the house I establish a perimeter, meaning one guy looks left, one right, one through the house to the other side, and I try to get the rest on the roof. All this works better when I am in turn based anyway, I can't click all this fast enough in real time mode.

One thing I forgot to mention, it is better to start with 5 soldiers not just 1. Having only one soldier will be quite hard (especially because I play Ironman).

Well, externalizing the number of days for BR delivery per method is pretty simple. There are some straight-forward values that can be played with. These refer only to how many days after ordering the package will arrive, but setting this to 0 makes delivery happen the next time global events are checked, which I THINK happens every time the clock is unpaused, which would mean instant delivery. The Multiplayer system has something in place that does this, but I would rather externalize the value so that we can PROLONG the amount of time it takes to deliver using "cheaper" methods. Some players will undoubtedly want to prolong the delivery time for "Express" shipping, too.

Also, possible time of day for delivery (currently 8 AM to 12 PM) can also be externalized, which would be only slightly more complicated. I could have both ready for HAM 3.1

[EDIT]: Sorry, I need to rewrite this. Setting the number of days to 0 means the shipment will arrive the same day at 8-12 in the morning. If you're already past those hours, the shipment will arrive immediately. Therefore, both days and hours need to be externalized together to allow universal instant delivery, but this is no problem as far as I can tell.

Done, and works like a charm. With this in place, you can set how many days are required for delivery using each of the three methods (Standard, Fast, Express). Additionally, you can determine the earliest and latest hours of the day on which shipments can arrive. It will randomly select an hour between the options you give, and the cargo will arrive at that (full) hour.

If you put ALL five settings at 0, BR shipments will arrive immediately the moment you unpause the clock.

With 1.13, you can make the game so easy that an idiot on INSANE couldn't lose it. Most features can be abused. I put the feature in not to be used as a cheat, but to make the game HARDER. The fact that it CAN be used for cheating is absolutely nothing new.

Seriously, who gives a damn? You can finish the game within a couple of minutes if you want, this has been true since the release of 1.06 (I think that patch introduced/activated the cheats). How someone plays the game is up to them, if they want Bobby Rays deliveries instantly, then fine.

In fact I'm going to go into the game and cheat finish it right now just because I can (and because it was a while since I saw the Miguel-dead-cutscene)! :naughty:

Well it's not really a cutscene but Enricos speech will change (at the end "cutscene"). He will do his usual speech about Miguel but talk about how he died for Arulco and that he will build a monument to Miguel and the other mercenaries that died in the struggle.

To see it all you need to do is to use the GABBI cheat, give Fatima the letter, visit the rebel hideout, kill Miguel and teleport to Meduna and kill the queen.

what determines the psycho-factor of a gun? i swear an (in my case not so) holy oath that mr lamont, mr gordon and my psycho-lady go on auto/burst a lot of more often with an m16 than they do with a g36. m4 is in between (probably 'cause they had h&k improve it).

So Enrico returns to the throne instead of appointing Miguel? Coolness, I've got to check that out.

Yeah, I'll go the nasty way (32 mercs with 100 in all stats, best guns from the start). It'll be more fun that way.

Good question. I'll look that up.

[edit]: Gun has no effect on psycho burst. Unless, of course, the gun is incapable of autofire.

could you upload it somewhere (id like 4hours,2hour,1hour shipment times)and if possible 5k,10k,20k shipping costs?

You think an airplane will fly from somewhere in the Us to Arulco for 20k$/weight?

shouldn't their be (=is it possible to put it into the code) a fee of X$ for any nonregular flight to Arulco?

so Your bill would read:

immediate non regular flight from BR to Drassen 350.000$
35 KG of equipment (2.000$/KG) 70.000$
risk fee (as long as Drassen RAK isn't taken) 50.000$
eqipment as specified 8.000$

total 478.000$

That would be cool but as far as I know you don't get paid for doing anything for that Emanuel guy took me maybe 2hours on insane mode to capture a SAM site and all I got was some grenades and a pistol....would be cool if AIM/Emanuel had like a $500 bounty on Deidrains army troops,$100k per town,$150k per SAM site etc or maybe even a quest generator to kill X number of troops,convoy,tanks,sam site/town for cash? Razz


EDIT:BTW on insane mode you get only 12k starting cash so seems sorta weird a mercenary group is doing it for free....

Yeah, Shipping Costs can also be externalized, but I think the prince depends on location, so I _assume_ Zilpin will have something in place to go with his airport externalization.

That means the loyalty in Drassen isn't high enough and agents of the queen interfered. That equipment is gone.

"[edit]: Gun has no effect on psycho burst. Unless, of course, the gun is incapable of autofire."

Not entirely true I feel: coolness value plays a part I'm sure as does some kind of national origin tag (Ivan for instance finds AK, Dragunov cooler than Colt or H&K stuff). Maybe just my perception and me projecting ideas into the game that aren't really there. True suspension of disbelief.
