I am very confused, a review I read said this was the case but as it stands I have intentionally died whilst and failed to defend an outpost but it does not change hands. Any clarification as to exactly what should or shouldn't happen as I was really excited for that feature so am somewhat disappointed
yeah that particular reviewer was inaccurate because the royal enemy will not retake any of the outposts you've captured and i've tested this theory and no matter what i've tried the outposts remain the same.
to anyone else viewing this or curious to know: The enemy cannot reclaim your outpost, all they do is attack them.
Ah ok, that's disappointing. Makes the mechanic pointless because there is no loss to ignoring it and given this time you're fighting an actual military it makes perfect sense for them to try and recapture and in an ideal world then slightly further fortify and add new static objects to an outpost. Would really give a sense of a constant struggle against an organised force if this happened because now I have no reason not just to drive nonchalantly past as I'm safe in the knowledge the attacks are a gimmick with no real world relevance. If any of the mods are reading this, please suggest this should be in the game. If you don't want players to use it to XP farm just grant no additional XP on taking it.Originally Posted by LukeLeopard Go to original post
well it started in far cry 3 with you not being able to reset them all then ubi patched in an option to reset the outposts and made it apart of far cry 4, now they just need to patch in enemies retaken outposts.Originally Posted by Resist_Or_Fall Go to original post
maybe if enough people cry about it ubisoft will patch it in, It kills the immersion factor I agree.
also it's dumb how it only happens when ajay drives 200 feet away from an outpost before the attack begins, at least defending the outposts are fun.
I do believe though that originally outposts could be taken back by the enemy because sometimes you'll get a notice ingame about an outpost under-attack and that you failed to defend the outpost, however if you choose to fight off the attackers and die you end up respawning back at the beginning with the outpost being attacked.. I don't know if this is a game glitch or that you're supposed to lose outposts if ignored.. I don't have the answer but i'm just as curious as you are and I hope the developers see reason enough to patch in enemies retaken outposts.
