Just Cause 2

This game is wonderful. Got stuck at the mission called "Three kings", where you and the American guy (I skip cutscenes) have to kill three people, and one of them is in a tank. I can not figure out how to kill him without a sniper rifle, and I can't use the black market.

I think grappled onto the edge of the building so I could just see over the top and shot him from there.

So not let him see me? Seems like a good idea.

The stranded mission is the best mission so far that was sooooooooooo funny I reccomend anyone who's got this to find that mission its near the NW end of the island.

You guys both suck.

Here's what you do. Just move to the sides/corners rolling behind cover don't stand behind it as he'll end up destorying it, during this time shoot the crap out of the guards to. Then wait for sheldon (american) to yeall out something like i got your 6, at that moment stand up switch to manual aim and shoot the crap out of the guys head you can do this in 3/4 goes with a level 1 sub machine gun. The only weapon i upgraded was the standard pistol and i'll do the sniper rifle next.

The first guy is definitely the hardest out of the 3 as the third guy hits himself and the tank guy can't hit you.

What's the progress on this play-through of yours?

I ended up doing that instead. Lousy mission. I found the mile high club to be a cool place, though.

5/7 story missions
around 4/49 on faction missions assuming strongholds don't count
9/9 stronghold missions
found about a quarter of all locations, and got 100% completion on about 40-50 i'd think.

My game completion is like 24%, but after i do the final story mission i'm gonna play on max diffculty and try to do the story missions as a lets play. I'll use my normal playthrough as a get to know the map layout and then actually do the lets play based on the hard missions.

Ahh ok, that makes sense.

Also means I can try and fulfill the criteria you guys expect, we'll see how interesting we can make it.

I gotta admit though even with upgraded health (well somewhat) at heat level 4 the games highest wanted level, you can get cut to ribbons if you even stay still for a moment. So i got no idea how hard two difficulty settings above that would be >_>.

I thought it went up to level 5?

Maybe i didn't notice th bar was half red, there were a bunch of gattling type guns on me from air and land, i probably didn't notice.

It's worth knowing that enemies stop shooting at you during the hijack QTEs. So you can take some extra time with them while the health regen kicks in.

Yeah i did notice that but I only ever manage to high jack helicopters because drivers always seem to jump out of there cars.

Also how do you deal with chases my tires get shot out before i've gotten anywhere, I'm fine in set piece chases but random ones i suck at and end up parachute gliding out of harms way or till i jack a helicopter.

Never had a problem with chases. I guess the AI is less accurate on the lower difficulty.

Seriously? If i actually bother to get in a car alter ill show you what happens. I'm literally driving on 4 tire rims in about 20-30 seconds, I can't believe there aim is that accurate when i'm moving at high speeds. Also head shots seem essential in this game, I can almost empty a clip on some of the enemies and still not kill them.

I'm glad I levelled up my sniper means i can take out colonels with stealth as opposed to taking those obnoxious assholes on face to face seeing as the average gun + headshot only does like 25% damage.

I just call in Sheldon and buy a rocket launcher or something for Colonels.

Whats your weapon layout and what do you mod?

I use pistol, sub machine gun and sniper rifle and i haven't dropped a weapon in forever, unless a rocket launcher is ahndy and want to do some quick damage, i use choppers or chain guns for a lot of big scale destruction.

Level 6 pistol, level 5 sniper and level 3 sub i think at the moment.

I'm debating if i'll go through all the faction missions or not on normal or expert.

Well now I have everything fully upgraded, and I use the pistol, revolver, and shotgun. During most of the missions I just used the assault rifle and SMG most of the time though.

Are there more weapon parts then there are things to upgrade?

I can't imagine how long that would have taken to find everything

I've played the game for about 140 hours, and I haven't found everything. But there's enough parts to upgrade everything.

any dlc weapons worth buying?

The free parachute is badass. Use that for the playthrough.

yeah i got that there's like a couple of weapon packs though

The weapons aren't worth it. They all use unique ammo so you have to buy them again each time they run out. The jet air gun is fun though. The parachute thrusters are a great addition, although you lose them if you die or quit the game.

This is on sale on Steam. I just bought the game and all the DLC for $7 USD.
