Reducing Jeets Threat didn't work correctly
I enjoyed playing Mad Max so far. However i can't finish the game as i intended to:

- because Threat reduction isn't working correctly. Somehow i got the achievment for reducing the threat to zero in balefire flatland but ingame it is still slight above 1. I noticed that reduction didn't seem to work for the last two threats i found in the sub area Fuel Veins( one sniper, and one scarecrow (i hope thats the correct term) ). I also checked the territory with ♥♥♥♥ Buggy for mines.

- Also the look-out in Balefire Flatland doesn't seem to work. It has no gas and can neither fuel up the tank OR press the switch to get it running. It just don't work. Maybe this also explains why i can't completly clear jeets territory, because i'm not able to find those Threats in Fuel Veins (the look out is close to the border of Fuel Veins and BaleFire Flatland.

- The same happend to the Threat Reduction in Gutgash's territiry Grit Canyons, when i notice that two threats (also one sniper and one scarecrow) didn't reduced overall threat of Gutgash's area.

I really want to finish this game, but with this bugs, it isn't that much fun at all. And it's still not a bad game. Maybe i made a mistake somewhere. If any of the developers could give me response or maybe a soloution for this problem i would be happy. Or anyone else who has an idea what could be wrong or even the same problem.

The one in Balefire needs to be refueled, if you get into the basket the tank should be empty on your HUD. If you're holding a fuel can and stand facing the tank on the basket you should have the option to refuel it, if you're not holding a fuel can there'll be no refuel option.

If you hold the cursor over each area it tells you what's left to clear it, if you have all 'green ticks' there shouldn't be anything left. If it's all ticks and the area's not at threat level 0 there's something wrong.

Some of the scarecrows and snipers don't appear to change the threat lvl much depending on what's left to do.

thanks for you answer. I will try to refuel the look out like you said, however i think i've already tried that but i try it again.
So do you mean then if you kill and destroy snipers and scarecrows, the threat will only reduced by very little (so that you see at least that the Threat symbol afterwards gets reduced by asmall amount) or do you mean it isn't that much Threat anyway which is reduced so it doesn't show the symbol? I know thats only a small difference but i need to know if this a bug or if i did get something wrong there

I think you're mistaking the threat level of the entire Jeet's Territory with Balefire Flatland's threat level. The gear icon with a number inside shows the threat of the entire Jeet's Territory, which consists of five different regions.

Like HeadWound already said, hover over each region to see what you're missing.

I've cleared Jeet's and Gutgash's territories already and I haven't encountered any bugs. The individual targets (snipers and scarecrows) sometimes lower the threat a miniscule amount, but they do lower it.

All the hot air balloons have also worked for me. I don't know what's wrong in your instance, but I'd go over this checklist just to be sure:
- Make sure you're carrying a fuel canister with fuel in it
- Stand on the side of the balloon with the gas tank that's marked with yellow paint, or if that doesn't work then try every other side as well
- If the balloon is already up, you may need to refuel the generator to winch it down. All balloon parts you can interact with are connected, so follow the tubes.

If you're missing something in a region, it's most likely a minefield. You can check the maps in this guide once you've narrowed down what you need:

Thank you both! I managed to refuel the balloon, with gas tank on the side of the ballon. Too bad i didn't figure this out by myself :rfacepalm:. I also reduced Jeets Threat too zero, there were 2 minefilds and one scarecorws left. Also i should have recognize before that if you scrol just across the map with mouse of an sub-area that you see how much threat is left there.

I'm having this problem now too in Gutgashs(?) area, threat is almost 0 but nothing left to do on the map.

There's a thread checklist if you scroll over gutgash map, where you can which kind of thread and how many of it is left. Ensure that you spotted everything with balloon outpost and drive another round with the buggy for the minefield (and check the guide above). Sometimes it also appears that some of the icons block each other because they're so close to each other so that you may see only one instead of two (happend once to me). I hope i could help.

I had all balloons raised, and still some minefields didn't show up. thanks for the guide map.
