    LOL, my thought as well at the time I read that, but then I thought: goes to show I didn't think of that, I wasn't devious enough.
    And is why I tested it and how that would work. The only bivouac you can get a helo from is the one in Errorhon, all other bivouacs you'll need skill points for to unlock the garage, I think.
    Plus confusing, when you go to Maria's Shop, all that stuff is for sale, so you can buy a helo there - if you have the money. But just go to the biv first to check what the game thinks your account already has. For me it's everything, all helo's, all cars, all bikes.

    Then on an island in the Windy Islands group I find a plane, ready for take-off. Just not so sure you'd want to.

    If you recall - will the cutscene trigger if you're airborne, or is it a case of land, trigger the cutscene, launch and blast?
    Yes flying too close will also do it and mess you up. I always landed near the tail structure, then move up, trigger the cutscene then run back and hop in helo.

    Maybe a bonus from preordering or something, but I always had enough. However even if I didn't it was worth the effort to avoid that stupid walker boss fight.

Doesn't matter if I looked at the map in the mean time. Doesn't matter if I made it to Liberty City. Die or reload the game and the start point is here.
    Yep. That will always be the case until you go to errorwhon I believe.

    You can probably steal the helo at the test site, but I didn't check if it was there.
    Honestly I haven't done this since probably a year ago. I won't restart a character as Ubi wasn't crediting you with rewards that you could no longer acquire. If you default everything to tiered mode does it allow you then?

    I'm not sure if garage requires using a skill point or something, but none of the bivs have a garage option for me, outside of the one in Errorhon.

    Meanwhile, I showed no fear and went against the Fen Bog Behemoth with the turret there, for Mike.


    How'd I do?

    No skill point required - you turn it ON or OFF as an option for garage/shop at bivs.

    Like a BOSS!!

    Now the question becomes if it will re-spawn with a re-start. Personally I'd prefer a one-time-only destroy for a behemoth as a "feature".

    Another question is, will the Amber Sky gas mask work on the gas mortars the gas mortar Behemoths shoot out?

    I just went a couple of rounds against some Behemoths, the one in the Driftwood Isles is a bastard with its range and gas. And shouldn't there be one in the Driftwood Isles testing center, or is that only for a mission there?

    Positive note about Immersive Mode: the AI team members stop calling "Bad guy there" because that makes no sense as I don't see where they point anyway.
    Negative note about Immersive Mode: the red circles from mortars and rockets are still visible.

    From my traveling in the area of Driftwood Isles with multiple characters - only when you have the specific side mission will there be a behemoth at the testing grounds. It appears all the other aspects remain basically the same. Perhaps fewer NPCs for example. The other drones are there.

    Regarding the red impact circles - yup noticed that also with everything OFF, but the dropped flare from a Azrael gets removed. Go figure, as that feature should remain on while the circle markers should be OFF with the appropriate settings.

    See, things like what whappens on your post #7 don't bother me one bit, not at all. Hell, other things like continuity either, at the end of the day, I am after the mission and how to be accomplish it, but this like this below doesn't irritate me, it chafes my danglies to no end because for the life of me I can't wrap my head around the fact that rockets/missiles from a helo damage the behemoth less than a BB pellet would damage a sherman tank but a mounted turret will end it in a few seconds and to top it all off, the turret can just unload bullet after bullet and not melt one bit.

    Sorry OP, I really (REALLY) didn't miss to crap on your thread but irritating is such a soft word for what I feel about it.

    I don't mind, the thread is for various hates and irritations (but also positive things). If you want to add something stronger, be my guest, put it out there. You translated all the Spanish so in my book you're a good person. No matter what you feel about this railroad disaster.

    Btw, on the video. I didn't believe Mike when he said you could do that because way back when this game was still in beta, I tried that at the time and was shredded by the guns on that tank. So I guess they nerfed it. Or I got better. And I can tell you that you will play this game completely different in Immersive Mode if you have all the screen candy turned off. It even feels as if the enemy's voices aren't as loud now anymore and if you do hear them you're glad.

    Now the last thing I wonder is if there is ever a night where there is no moon...

    Did my own thread on that very topic on here as well as Reddit a while ago.
    I mean, how difficult could it be to change a JPEG up in the sky, adjust the brightness and the enemy's vision cones accordingly?
