Grass Roots Trevor - Preemptive Strike

[zOldBulldog]

I am a bit puzzled by this requirement for Gold. Even using all the information in the various guides and videos I can't seem to get more than 2 vans.

- I memorized where the vans spawn.
- I position myself to be able to shoot at them before they spawn.
- I fire at their engines as soon as they spawn.
- The last 2 vans are especially difficult, as they come fast after taking out the previous two and they are quite far. I most definitely can't run into range in time to take them out before they spawn clowns.

Am I missing an important "hint" or has something changed since the original release that makes this requirement no longer doable and I am wasting my time trying?

For me, it seems to be bugged. I am fully capable of taking them all out without any clowns spawning but it will only ever give me 2 out of 4 regardless of if I get 3, 4 or 5 vans.

The cars start instantly spawning clowns in my many tries.

i came across a glitch to keep progressing the counted pre-emptives by simlpy running out of range of the mission objective and "retry" the mission, this mission has been updated at least twice and the vans are bugging since they sometimes wont properly drive up to the player to make use of the top damage of the assault shotgun which is detrimental of this gold requirement.
(more range = less damage)

try this;
keep milking the clowns and hide to prevent them from killing you but stay within reach to prevent them from dissapearing, the dance animation usually triggers from their need to reload.

do your best to blow up the 2 or 3 first vans
now run outside the zone of this mission that forces you to "try again"
(because the progress will keep counting, pre-emptives wont reset)

do the same thingt twice to be on the safe side because the vans will very much likely spawn too far from your character in order for you to make enough damage to blow it up before the van has spawned a clown.
(run outside the range of the mission zone again once or twice)

now you should probably have more pre-emptives and dancing clowns than youve needed.

omg i love you tysm

Stil works!!! When you shoot the van you also hear a noise, sounds like boooh! (to late) or yeah!! (in time). I kept shooting the third van on the left and left the area until I had four times the 'yeah' sound. After that finished the mission and GOLD!
