too many ambushes

[BWheatley]

even after the patch every single time 4 (so far) i transport a prisoner i get ambushed, it's a bit much.

Just expect them to happen when you’re driving prisoners and contraband around. They’ve definitely toned it down a lot and they’re honestly not even that bad, especially if you upgrade your vehicles and have more durability. If you can’t just drive past the ambushes or actually handle them, I’m sorry but that’s a skill issue my man. I’ve literally beaten this game with nothing but a pistol. It’s not hard.

I've actually got 1 ambushes per day recently (2 at most), so maybe you got some bad luck

When you driving and they show up in the forest, they give to much damage, even if you just drive away. You at least loose a car door

i get ambushed at least twice when transporting prisoners and contraband

either keep driving or invest in alot of 7.62 lol

+1. There needs to be a cap on Ambushes as it gets old quick. I get on average 3 ambushes pr day (usually if I do only one thing, I'll meet one ambush, if I do 2-4 things, like say a mission + vlad + camp + station, I'll see 3+ ambushes regularly)


1 ambush (randomly placed on the map) once pr day would be perfect\fine, with perhaps 3-4 being placed on certain days (every 5th day, for example).


Beyond the ambushes being annoying and unfun when frequently encountered, it also serves as an ammo-duping glitch. I have more ammo than I know what to do with, as it's thrown at me like candy from all the ambushes.

It also would make missions \ attacks more fun. Currently I just went through 3 ambushes (that totalled my car to a crawl, as all tiers were blown out, bear in mind, this was after just having fixed the thing after it being totalled in the previous ambush on the SAME DAY), and on my way to do what I actually wanted to do (towards midnight, because you only have like 20 minutes to do everything in a day), I get an "attack on outpost! Come here in 5 minutes" warning, with a car that can barely move because the tires were blown out by the previous ambush prior to it all...


It's just an unfun mechanic all around (car is fully upgraded).

We hear you. We're gonna implement option to completely TURN OFF ambushes and enemy attacking your border checkpoint. Soon. Very, very, very soon.

Any plans on adjusting the frequency of it, and not just a simple on\off? I do enjoy the ambushes, if it only happened less often and felt more like a surprise.

Please make those options independant of each other, I dont mind being attacked at the border, it's kinda fun, ngl, it's just the ambushes that tips me off

It's already in settings, separate option for ambush and border.

The pistol is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP if you headshot everytime.

I fully disagree, I think the ambushes make it fun. The game isn't hard in the slightest, all I do when an ambush happens is jump out and use the van as cover and quickly take them out, or I jump out and hide behind a tree and pop them with the pistol...

I've only ever been ambushed twice per trip, twice for taking people to the labor camps and once or twice for delivering the goods to the police base...

I would hope it's based off of the quantity of items or prisoners...

As in if your transporting, lets say 5 or 8 prisoners once with a van full of contraband, then it would make sense that more people would be willing to attack you then say, you just have a single shipment of weapons or cocaine in your van, people would be less willing to risk their lives for that.

At least to me it makes more sense, there are pros and cons to everything.

If you arrest someone and just transport the 1-4 contraband items plus the smuggler said day, less people would know about it, and it'd be a smaller haul, but you'd have to drive much more frequently.

Vs
hoarding everything till you run out of storage (or are close to being full) and making one big haul, when weeks go by and no-one has received their product or weapons, making them want to attack you more frequently, and having more ambushes while on the road.

You only have to deal with the occasional board raid, and a few ambushes while transporting a huge stock pile in one trip, with the down side of you could potentially lose it all if the transport gets destroyed...

Really, ive gotten the game today, played for 6 hours and every time ive gone away from the control ground i got attacked.

Transporting prisoners > attacked
moving contraband to sell > attacked
some dude driving without being checked > chase and capture him > way back to the base : Attacked

even an ambush once when i had nothing with me and just went to vlad to buy ammo as i was running low.

EDIT: u mean in game day or just when u plaed ?
