Rival Outfits Underpowered?

[kurth6255]

The gang warfare is great - destroying ops, shutting fronts, closing up buyers - but when my wiseguys and their wiseguys meet, usually it's rifles and tommys versus pistols. Keeping in mind this is a 12 corner outfit (me) vs a 21 corner outfit.

Shouldn't this 21 corner crew be strapped by now?

Do rival outfits ever get their hands on better hardware?

I'm too impatient to keep playing and find out lol

[korac]

They do. It sounds like you've just done particularly well providing some decent hardware for your guys... Enjoy (and make the most of) the advantage while it lasts. :)

[kurth6255]

Lol thanks man sure shall. At nearly twenty corners now and have only encountered that one outfit (since destroyed.) Friendly seed, got bored wound up massacring n raiding hooligans.

Heh, yeah, there's something to be said for the harder starts - it certainly keeps things more challenging for a lot longer, and perhaps also provides a greater sense of accomplishment when you do still manage to make it big despite the odds against you. Or maybe I'm just a masochist. :D

I needed all them hooligans I killed to get intros for extortion, so I dun learned my lesson about slaughtering them lol.

You could modify the files to give them all tommy guns and maximise their aggression.

Lol, I was going to warn you about that when I read your above post a few hours ago, but I figured I was too late to save anyone at that point. I made the same mistake when I first started.

You can hire those hooligans into your own crew instead of killing them. Or just buy out their corner and they'll leave. Some of them have pretty good traits so hiring them is a good idea when you can.

Very true n also big fan of the biz hooligans and the oppurtunites they give you once you're on their good side

20 corners isn't that much to be fair. you expand to that fairly quickly, i had over 50 at one point and the rivals had tommy's.

Ahh okay gotcha

Just got lucky that run with a booze for weapons mission

[kurth6255]

still think rival outfits are joke currently cus AI dunno how to stick together

They are but they aren't... I've taken over a few but also just lost a decent save where I got whacked in a 2 on 1 fight versus the enemy boss with both myself and muscle having shot guns to a pocket pistol . We got the boss, but he got me too. Game over

Sheeeesh I'd be so torn between save scumming and letting it sit as a reminder to ♥♥♥♥ around and find out 🤣 what a tale

[kurth6255]

I wouldn't be surprised if that boss had sharpeyed or sum. The traits are rly important to combat in this game, something I didn't fully understand when I made this post

[rickerts]

Exactly. There are little things like that that keep me enjoying the game more and more. When I think I have something figured out, something like that happens. I've also had employees who had seemingly have every trait in the world you'd want in a fight and lose against an enemy they on paper would seem to have dead to rights.

Right, sometimes it feels like they just catch a bullet and get unlucky, which is super immersive
