Cant drive car without being attacked immmediately

[Relic]

title literally covers it; i just started my playthrough, not even really 3 hrs into the game and i cant drive the car without 2 thug vehicles coming and killing me; the enemies soak up my dmg and i die repeatedly; wtf?

they spawn after you finish some missions after getting into a car. So get in car and get out kill them and keep getting into a car and out until they stop.

Sounds like you've been trying to rush the story a bit too much. The ambushes are not too frequent, but they can catch you off guard. After you've defeated one ambush they'll usually leave you alone for a pretty long time, so just just try to get through one by using your grenades and other tools and then start doing some gigs and side missions to gear up and get a couple more skill and attribute points. Once you've worked your way up through some of the weapon specializations those kinds of ambushes largely turn into a speed bump.

It happens when you load an old save.

All the missions where someone would have shown up, are now queued and till you run all those queued attacks out, every time you get in a car, the next group of baddies will load.

Once all the queued car chases you missed have happened it will only happen after a mission or in a mission when you have to drive to a second location and a chase is part of the mission.

We wouldn't want you to miss anything :)

This is happening to me after picking up picking up the bot from maelstrom and these tyger claw bastards keep attacking me with sandevistan and mantis blades when I get out of the car, I'm not stong enough to deal with them, I die in 3-4 hits and they soak damage like bullet sponges. I cannot drive at all.

choom they are not that tough. When you get attacked pull over and get out of your vehicle.
There are usually between 3-6 gangoons ( 1-3 vehicles ). Run around a corner and pick off the one or two that come around the corner. then slowly whittle them down ,use grenades , hacking etc. Worst comes to worst just run away. They are your level with maybe 1 tougher one ( one skull ).

As orcaa mentioned you don't have to fight them at all. Just get out of your car and run away. You should be good once they lose your trail.

You can avoid triggering these events by making sure no enemy that survives an encounter has seen you.
