How to skip to night?
This game has an annoying habit of resetting the in game time every time you warp somewhere it seems. Some of the later missions require it to be night, and I just can't figure out a way to advance the time without me sitting around waiting for 10 years.

I'm not sure what your on about. Missions don't require an exact time to be available to do them.

Pretty sure at least a couple Wasteland missions require it to be night.

Maybe you're not that far in the game yet, but after you get to Deep Friah's temple he eventually gives you a mission to track down the Arkytekt. This can only be done at night. Also later in the game, the Outcrier in Gastown asks you to steal Crow Dazzle's car. This can only be done at night.


Anyway,

Yeah, this can be really annoying. I've found that if you've started any part of a story mission the game will sort-of freeze time in whatever time of day or night that is the setting for the story mission. One time I drove around, fast taveled, walked around, etc. for an hour of real time and the game kept itself at about 10:00am (judging from the location of the sun in the sky.) I finished the story mission I was in the middle of and the game's day/night cuycle returned to normal. Hope this helps.

I did it at day, not sure about Arkytekt, but I stole Crow Dazzle's car in broad daylight.

Hm. Are you playing console or PC? Cau'se I'm on PC right now, it's daytime, the mission is the only one active (i've just beaten the game) and there's nothing but empty air where his car should be. I wonder if there's a difference between this misson on different platforms. Also, the game specifically told me in the Arkytekt missions and this one, "This objective is only availble at night."

I just rolled around hitting scavenger spots, the wait is honestly not that bad. Eventually when it got dark I warped to the balloon (didn't dare to warp to the death run) and it remained dark.

¨Please play the game before trolling here... There are many missions that can only be done in nighttime
I love how you jump to the conclusion that I'm trolling. It actually looks like it was always the right time when I did missions. You should re think your life before you come to any conclusions on other individuals that you don't know.

You can if you do the first part at night so if have both the car mission and the Arkytekt at the same time you can discover the car at night go kill the guy and come back in the day to steal the car, and (I haven’t checked because that would mean start a new game) i think I would do the same if you discover the camp and then steal the car

Every 2 projects you activate, per stronghold changes the day/night cycle. Be aware that this method of changing day/night makes it either noon or midnight. if you want a full night cycle better to wait out what's left of the day so you get a full night.
