 I'm not a big fan of the planted explosives destroying parts of the map when you get noticed.
Is there anything important I am missing (characters, cool features etc.) if I just go out guns blazing (so not just reduced income or missing items you could also get otherwise)?
I did some oil rigs full stealth, but it was really tedious and it's not my thing.

 Generally the explosions in some maps are for atmosphere more than anything else, so it won't adversely effect your game outright. If you go in guns blazing then that's your call. Some other maps do require stealth for a better outcome, such as trying to rescue prisoners without collateral damage.

 Thank you!

Can you give a hint where explosions might kill VR NPCs, except for the obvious prisons?
The problem with explosives destroying things (e.g. NPCs) is that you won't even know what game functionality (e.g. cool dialogue) you just lost.
Actually I already tried to remove the "explosion alarm switches" via the map editor (eraser), e.g. at G15 power plant with 3 switches, but explosions somehow still happened.

 I think for the most part the Oil Rigs and the Power Station if I recall correctly. As far as a risk to NPCs/RPC's the rigs are probably the worst, but there is a chance factor in play whether they are simply injured or killed depending on your luck.

I hated those explosions when the first few times that I played but it forced me to play stealthy for the first time and I've been playing this game for 20 years. When you get the hang of it and have someone with stealthy perks, you basically get to play as a ninja.

Hi @ all, unsure if this is the right thread or if it is more a bugzilla thingy, but I have noticed more then a couple of weapons with accuracy 0 from all ranges of weapons. The M2 Carbine is one, but I could provide others as well.

Also, some guns dropp to zero accuracy when i modify them (the .50 Bushmaster when a C-Mag is attached, and the M1 Garand with the EBR, more examples kann be provided). I am using the latest stable VR build with a fresh gog JA2. Am I missing a config setting, or ist that indeed a bug?

And not just btw ofc a huge thanks for you work & efford here, it is amazing to see JA2 around and fresh.

 Hey Ferenc_i, this sounds more like a bug, or at least on the Bushmaster side of things. So post up any future issues in Bugzilla if you find any.

Some guns do indeed have a 0 accuracy rating by default, such as older, primitive sub-machine guns and pistols but the Bushmaster issue sounds suspicious. I'll take a look at that, thanks.

Many thanks in advance, Hawkeye. If you need more examples of suspicious merges, I would have some more.

I understand the accuracy 0 for older guns (though the m1 carbine has a ~40sh value, the m2 has 0), but I've spotted less vintage examples as well. Some of the AMR like the Barettm82A1M & M107 among them.

Can anyone help me out with the construction of fortifications, namely sandbags? It just doesn't work.

My understanding was, that I have to equip the shovel in the secondary hand and an empty sandbag in the primary one. Then hold ctrl and click onto a sector tile that consists of dirt, sand or grass.

If I do so, the red hammer icon appears, but my merc don't do anything. Nothing happens. I tried every constellation of sandbag/shovel in hands, inventory and so on.

I try it in a sector that already has some sandbag fortifications as default, so it should work (peninsula gate, north of Burton).

And the strangest thing is that I already managed to do it in the past (also VR), but I can not recall if I did something differently. When it worked, it was in Drassen airport sector. But also there I cannot replicate.

 Have you got the shovel set in construction mode rather than a weapon, with the transformation tool? Also it's important how your merc is orientated to destruct/construct bags.

That's it. I haven't realized that you can switch the shovel's functions via this little gear symbol.

Now that I have done so I can build and remove sandbags. Seems I used a shovel that was already set on construction mode on my first attempts.

Many thanks for the hint and my deepest appreciation for Vengeance Reloaded. It's nothing short of a masterpiece.

Hey Hawkeye, quick question: i noticed the bipod only seems to have bonuses (increased chance to hit while prone). are there supposed to be penalties for using it?

No, you only get benefits from the bipod when it's positioned on the ground. I don't think there's any penalties when you are standing or crouching, apart from the added weight that you are carrying. You could check for sure by seeing if any values change in the weapons stats when you use it or when it's removed.
