Help: Use the garage to install upgrades for the jack?

[JrRocket000 💧]

Hi all, I was wondering what Im supposed to install, because I cant find anything on it.

Im on the Mission wsateland classic if that helps

Thanks all

Oh, it wants you to switch your car's body to one of the alternate ones. That confused the heck out of me, too.

You also need to install all car mods marked with the green circle. Which for me meant downgrading my car.

^^ This

After building the cars with the prescribed parts (which as Ogre said are not always the best part combination) you can change the parts at will but don't forget that to achieve any of the challenges that require using a specific car, you cannot use a modified version of the car or the challenge will not count. So for these kind of challenges you will have to go to the garage, change to the required car with "T" and use the standard version of the car (as it is).

So, when I see the green dots on parts it is telling me I need to use those parts opn the car for the current mission?

I thought it was bugged.

It's the requirement for the Archangel. Press F on Garage screen to see Archangels you can build.

But it says to me The Jack is not available! I need to complete extra requirements to install missing Baby Bars. This is really badly thought out mission. What requirement is it??

[Einstine]

I got the same, clicked it, and it gave me the bars right there.

So try and buy them. If you can't you likelyy haven't progressed far enough, but I am guessing if it's the last item you need for that Archangel, you are far enough along.

Very anti-climactic, IMO. I have zero interest in Archangels after that one.

I figured it out!
Once you have all the upgrades except for Baby bar armor, Select Shovelface (not one of the Archangels) then match required upgrades for its configuration. Then Go to Archangels and select the Jack. The mission will automatically progress to "Drive to Gutgash's stronghold".

Glitch on PC. Baby bars are needed. Leave Jeets in Chum's buggy ( with dog in back). Drive for a minute or so. A green dot will appear with little, if any, explanation. Follow it.

its unfortunate that this confusing mechanic is also associated with a known glitch. my trouble comprehending everything was, it told me to go get a new body and then it started talking about the jack like it was the name of the body I just got and at no time did it tell me to switch to arch angels or anything like that, so at first I thought maybe I had to go to an actual garage where my car was inside somewhere to see whatever it was talking about, nope, look through the car body category repeatedly, nope. started pondering the meaning of "the jack", am I upgrading my upgrade station? an actual car jack that I lift the car with, near tears I stumble into the archangel menu.... THE JACK!!!! it's the freakin name of the car I am currently building, the entire project, the first car is called The Jack... good lord, that and figuring out there isn't a map button besides visiting air balloons, which is cool but figuring that out was annoying

[skidmark]

Ya, me too, WTF is a Jack???
That was one of the most confusing parts of this game. I'm amazed at how well the devs kept track of all the parts stats for all the archangels combimed with mission triggers and everything else. After a couple of run thrus of this game I began to appreciate it.

I followed both Gorno's and LeL'Rathlor's post and it worked. I'm betting it was the downgrades that did it, but I can't be sure. The Shovelface was my selected build and I don't know if that affects things. Thanks guys.

Nah, when you get your first car's body you automatically unlock all the other bodies that were visible. Maybe the devs first wanted to unlock them later at first (you can find identical bodies later on but they're counted as scrap), but now getting the Jack is only a matter of getting to Gutgash's stronghold to unlock the baby bars and spending some scrap on the other basic parts. Indeed, more often than not you'll end up downgrading some parts of your car to get the Jack; you can merely upgrade it again as soon as you get the mission success.

[higuita]

you need to "downgrade" the car to all the "green dots" parts and leave the garage (back to third person view) so that the next part of the mission is unlocked
