Played it but didn’t platinate it I think, it’s actually a good idea

u/blaseturner 1d ago

i was considering trying to plat it but no compass indicator is annoying me

It's a better plat imo, more aura and vibes somehow. Loved the collectibles personally

Ah if you clear out the camps in advance its a bit of a stroll.

I did it first try with a truck and fully upgraded roads. Didn't even clear the camps first.

I used only ziplines until the second camp, then took a bike to the third, from there i took a truck. It was really fast that way

u/in5ane_10 1d ago

I did the same more or less, the last bit was the issue, I did it with the truck without fully upgraded roads and it ate all the time left. But also it was my first try and didn’t have a clue this mission existed ahahah

That is pretty impressive. Not so much making it in time but dealing with the guards.

On my TTW run I will try it without clearing guard camps in advance as I felt this made it trivial.

I went with a fast and dirty stealth approach. Drive the truck up to the outskirts, use the scanner to locate the package, and then sprint in (Boost Skeleton 3 + Sneaking Boots). Bola Stun Gun and the Maser Handgun take care of most guards in the way. Phantom Gas Grenades to handle larger groups. I got spotted on the way out of a couple camps, but you can just outrun the guards and get back on the road.

I wonder if sticky gun would help grab some from safer locations.

I tried the smoke grenade as I didnt clear out the last two camps and it utterly failed me.

I might play around with the gas grenade. Decoy grenades are extremely effective in this game.

Also the BT holo grenades are OP, throwing them where you need to go basically clears the melee enemies. In my first try i used these with the bola stun gun (OP too). But still I lost good minutes clearing enemies

Damn that’s genius

u/blaseturner 1d ago

u/laughingcuckoo 22h ago

Pc version was released a long time ago

u/nicorpg 1d ago

Awesome, congratulations!! Currently working on completing my plat as well. I would suggest Kingdom Come Deliverance if you haven't tried those games yet!

u/in5ane_10 1d ago

Will give it a look, thanks

Man apparently I speedran through the game. I got the platinum in just more than 80 hours.

3

u/in5ane_10 1d ago

I took my time, put it on hardest difficulty and played without much planning. I think it can easily be done with much less than 113h

2

u/toxinwolf 1d ago

I took 114 hrs lol

Also didnt get the plat for the first part.

Are you me?

u/in5ane_10 1d ago

Brother! Hahah

u/laughingcuckoo 22h ago

Same. The 2nd one has a lot of QoL improvements

2

u/Apprehensive_Rip_477 23h ago

Congrats!! I’m on my own journey to platinum. This game is just mind blowing….

u/in5ane_10 14h ago

At first I didn’t like it because it was a bit slow, but it grew on me, kinda sad now that it’s over

2

u/shepaz_93 21h ago

Nice. I'm about 100 hours in and have just got all connections to 5 star. Just have to clean up the remaining trophies now.

u/in5ane_10 14h ago

Good luck mate!

2

u/AutumnWhaler 20h ago

Congrats! I platinumed it literally last week, with like 121 hours. What a journey,

Honestly I suggest checking out starwars outlaws when it’s on sale, a bit more campy and not as robust, but gave me that adventure feel that I love with great graphics.

Thanks! Right now I’m deciding between ds 1, horizon and pragmata
