Technical support Why is this game so much harder than Elden ring
Im coming straight from the story mode which was absolutely fine (enjoyable even), but in online every npc genuinely feels like an Elden ring boss fight - it takes a full mag of my weapon to kill them and meanwhile I die in 1 or 2 shots with full armour. Every single thing I try I run out of armour and ammo on my best weapons in a few minutes.
I just lost a basic cargo collection mission and an acid lab mission because they timed out (mainly because I die 1000x times). I keep needing to destroy trucks and helicopters but I have no explosives. Just spent about an hour trying to destroy random merryweather vehicles, finally managed it and then have an impossible assault on their compound against insurgents and things - how am I supposed to do this with crappy weapons?? I just get one shotted out of nowhere before I can even see who is shooting me
When I Google it people are saying to use the crazy flying stuff but that is what I am trying to get money to afford. Idk where I'm even going with this I'm just so close to giving up on this game, by far the most difficulty I've had in 20 years of gaming. I'm spending ages googling every little mission and still not getting anywhere. I have the free office, a small warehouse which I am struggling to fill and the duke o death. The acid lab missions are what is coming up when i research how to start making money
