premium delivery issue

[Big Charlie]

Has anyone else experience low evaluations on premium deliveries when they are delivered in less than half the required time and with zero damage? I've had this happen several times and can't figure out what the issue is.

I've found the exact specifications of premium deliveries to be a little difficult to understand sometimes. For example it will say you have say 20mins, and also a extremely quick 4mins, as a pop up when selecting premium.

Some of them have been pretty tricky, one time I had to assault a mule camp in under 3mins.

I check it out.
Thanks

I know it's against the concept of the game, but I kill all the mule's in an area I'm going to work first and then go and accept the deliveries. It just takes some extra time, but it pays off in the long run. You have to bag them, transport them, incinerate them, and keep BB soothed at the same time. You can either let BB autotoxemia or you have to soothe between kills. I tranquilize them all with the grenade launcher and then execute them one by one. You could just use the lethal grenades, but then you destroy their cargo with them. If that helps at all.

Premium Deliveries never show the parameters on the surface because its a "bonus" objective.

So if your going by what you see on the main screen - your going to be disappointed.

If your doing a premium delivery - just note the bonus objectives and go from there.

It' just so frustrating. It tells you you have 20 minutes and you get there in 7 and you end up with a B assessment. It gets even more frustrating with the preppers that refuse to give the proper credit for deliveries. i.e. The First Prepper. I made a delivery receiving 598 likes and received less than a millimeter in star advancement. If I could have I would have shot him. lol

Some premium deliveries involve chilled cargo, the only way you can deliver chilled cargo is with a truck, things thaw riding a zip even when zipping is faster.

Always read the fine print. Can't go wrong with that.

Yes, this is exactly what was happening to me. I too saw different times displayed. Perfect, now I get it, thanks

Premium deliveries have a different requirements.
When selecting a premium delivery make sure to press [D-Pad Right] to highlight the new delivery parameters.

Thanks folks, I appreciate all the and everyone listening to me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

and don't forget you can always load the previous save where you made your last delivery and picked up that new timed delivery order again.

I was several seconds over on my delivery and I did a do-over and made it in time. Some of those wild deliveries to Time Fall farm or the snowy regions might take a few tries to find just the right route and also to know when to ditch the bike and just run the last mile or so.

That's strange. Whenever I select premium delivery, game always shows me conditions to get LoLoL rank (S rank on Very Hard). It displays conditions in yellow, just above button that makes delivery premium. It's always either below 3% or 8% damage and quite strict time requirements if it's timed delivery. Besides that, "regular" conditions change to orange and become more strict than usual ones, but that's just condition to complete delivery with any rank at all.

I know, right. I have payed attention to the parameters, Delivered in a fraction of the new time with 0 damage and received an A or even a B. Does the distance travelled or whether it's a "New Path" or not matter? It's bad enough to have as many likes completing a delivery for star advancement as with other regular depots and then some of the preppers give you no star advancement in return, i.e. The Novelist's Son, The First Prepper, and The Veteran Porter. If I didn't want the Trophy and the extra Bandwidth, they can go ♥♥♥♥ themselves. But, I digress. My issue only seems to happen to timed deliveries. The initial time would be 30 minutes, the premium time would be 20 minutes. I get there in 7 minutes (Or Less) with zero cargo damage and I get an A or B instead of an S. I don't get it. Another thing is that it mostly happens with the above mentioned preppers. I feel like they are the douche bags on Amazon that give products bad reviews because they can't read instructions or product descriptions. I would have thrown The First Prepper down the mountain in the earlier encounters if it were a possibility. I forgot to tell everyone, that this is my second time around and I didn't encounter this when the game came out and I ran the gamete the first time. I think there are more glitch's after the last console update. I've gotten myself and cargo stuck in places you should never be able to get to. The whole thing is just frustrating...

I have the PC/Steam version but haven't used it yet. I guess I should switch and see what happens. It just takes forever to get to where I am now. I bought the PC/Steam version because I'm slowly transitioning from the censuring console monopoly's to the "I'm a big boy and can make my own decisions" PC Edition's

are these deliveries Standard Deliveries? or Main Story related deliveries?
