Checkpoints guards

[Kharnath]

i just got searched three times by the same police officer at a checkpoint.
first when i walked over there, then when i crossed the line, and then when i took another step.

are checkpoints just there to waste time or something?

also how am i supposed to smuggle drugs when throwing large bags over the wall is now pretty much impossible after the patch.
why not remove the police and just have you pay 200 when you cross? it's essentially the same thing but saves a lot of time

[Hydr0Phil]

there is another way where you pay 100 for a one way trip to the other half of the map.
but yes i also think that the current checkpoint system is not working as intendet.
i already made a post with what i think should solve that problem: https://steamcommunity.com/app/682990/discussions/2/3581993633010845247/

yea they do that, try and get right in, i run at it from the side, get right through as much as possible...

also if you run past them into a safe house, those guards can actually taser you inside your house through the wall. not like running from the street cops

yeah but i'ts 100 one way and then another 100 back. i made a mistake when i said 200.
so get rid of the police there and just make it a 100 when you cross. it saves a hell of a lot of time.

it's even worse at night, when you have to move lots of drugs you are pretty much forced to use those tunnels.

the checkpoints are by far the worst parts of the game and do nothing but making me ignore that part of town because it's not worth the hassle.

You can drop your bag full of stuff between cracks in the wall where it trys to make 90 degree angles. then go through the checkpoint, and walk over and grab your bag.

sounds like an overly tedious way of smuggling the drugs, and does that even work with duffelbags?

its better for duffle bag because those are the hardest to throw over the wall

you can combine the efforts, place bag at crack, use sewer to cross wall, just gotta learn where the sewers are and goto

or we just get rid of those checkpoints so we don't have to jump through so many hoops which do nothing but cost time

Those pictures where taken between east oldtown and eastern slums.

I think its gonna take some weeks until they get the minor bugfixes (like this one) done.

Bribery will fix this problem, get the guards on the payroll, even if it's just 1..

i heard the devs in the stream say that they are thinking (or working on it, not sure) about it.

Why the hell are you guys making this complicated? Just chuck the F***in bag over the checkpoint guards heads when you walk up to them. Pick up your ♥♥♥♥ and go about your day, damn.
