missions that have turned frustratingly hard since update

[DMarieBella]

Crystal Clear Out 1 2 3 very easy solo hard. Dry Docking is impossible alone cuz of the constant spawn and Judging the Jury is impossible solo cuz of the stupid timer for the last 3 targets.

[Agent_Ace]

I did Los Santos Connection on hard, only lost one life, took about 15 mins.. 13k.

Why are you all posting in a necro thread from May discussing a totally different update?

 

LOL.

LOL.

Loads of missions got insane buffs in recent updates, so this thread still applies. Boat in the Bay has respawning enemies nowadays.

[Pedinhuh]

Death from above is now even more-rage inducing than never! If you're going to try it alone or with onlt one friend.
You need at least four guys to beat the mission

Four Trailers and A Titan of a Job have become impossible.

 

No, seriously, impossible. At least for me.

 

They're both completely broken. In A Titan of a Job, nobody spawns in the hangar at the end, neither does the coke, so you can't complete the mission.

 

In Four Trailers, one of the enemies shooting at you is labeled a friendly, and if you kill him, you fail... but if you don't kill him, he f*cking kills you.

 

I have tried solo, with other players, everything I can think to trick the game into fixing this, but nothing works and I can't do these missions anymore.

[Juzt]

Crime Scenester. Good luck losing the police..

 

I'm going to avoid that sh*t like the plague until they fix it.

[Gridl0k]

Death From Above is easy, just drive in the second gate, through into the garden and kill the target. Then leave the same way.

 

If you have unloseable police you're being spectated by a dead player. It's a bug.

Umm, Are you sure these are the right mission names? lol

 

Because there is no coke in Titan of a Job and there are no friendlies in Four Trailers

[rapidwiz]

In Stocks & Scares the enemy Aim and spawn rate is insane, this is not a challange, it's stupid.

 

 

If you think Stocks and Scares is insane, try Dry Docking, makes Stocks and Scares seem like preschool

Dry Docking is not impossible as I did it Solo, but it is incredibly hard in my opinion .. Here some help for the insane to try complete it.

You must be thinking of LSC and not Titan of a Job which is delivering of the Cargo Plane. I have done LSC many times solo and it's lots of fun and the coke is always there. However I did do it one time with 4 players and nothing was in the hangar, I meaning nothing Just a bug, just restart. Do LSC by yourself, make sure you have a sniper, it's a lot of fun. make sure you take out the plane and helicopter first at the end of the run way before going to the hangar.

 

I am surprised about 4 Trailers, so I am now going to try it We generally deliver the trailers without killing everyone, so I am thinking it has to be possible. It's a interesting mission as usually the randoms kill at least one of the trailers like morons failing the mission.

I think the guy above means Los Santos Connection and No Hay Bronca.

I haven't seen any changes in enemy spawn yet. Someone on this forum suggested tear gas for Dry Docking and it worked! I was able to solo Dry Docking using the tear gas, put one right next to door of the safe room and one at the top of the stairs.

[Rammer2k]

Judging The Jury can be done solo. Of course it requires a Buzzard, and the ability to "free aim" the rockets on non-vehicle targets. Not sure if that got patched in the latest update though.

I've done 4 Trailers solo a few times and haven't encountered any friendlies, unless it's another random bug. I usually have to wait by the trailers and kill all the waves of Grangers so that no one follows me to the drop off lol

 

 

Dry Docking is retarded lol, but i'm going to try that tear gas that xoC18 mentioned. Only reason I can't finish that mission is because the enemies spawn surrounding me as soon as I touch the safe. I exit out from the safe mini game and kill them and they do it again so I usually die then move on

Edited September 5, 2014 by Thisguyherenow

[Shaundi.]

Dry Docking & Handle With Care are extremely hard to solo because of the sharp shooting AI. $10 bet it gets even harder in 1.17

 

Chop Chop ranks the same. In free Aim is terrible, same with AA. Aim-f*cking-bot AI. Is it me, or does Rockstar want to lose their player base because if this?

[BLACK DYNAM1TE]

None of the missions have become harder, you just dont know what the f*ck youre doing, what happened was you were looking for "Rooftop Rumble" and somehow ended up in a real mission....sh*t happens

You mean Los Santos Connections. Had that happen to me as well, had to restart it. Aside from that bug, the mission is still possible to Solo on Hard.

Four Trailers is so easy I play it everyday for the $. Hook up one of the trucks and the get out and take cover. Then use grande launcher and boom boom them all and drive free :-) Titan is just as easy expect I have crashed landed a few times LOL!!! I played Stocks and Scares tonight. I have more then enough time to crack the safe (unlike Dry Docking) but I just could not seem to get it open and I took to long and was shoot. Grr! lol

Doh yeah Los Santos Connection, got the names confused because they both have a hangar assault.

[justinlynch3]

Stock & Scares is impossible to complete solo on Hard difficulty now. If anyone here can complete it solo on Hard, then I'd love to see a vid of how you do it LOL.

I've done it.

 

- Call Buzzard.

- Land Buzzard outside the back entrance (don't use the front door).

- Carefully fight your way in from the back.

- Cover, clear many ai's as possible and hold out for a opening.

- Go up the stairs, take catwalks around to the front.

- Make sure your clear, hack door and kill ai's inside.

- Cover behind door frame and kill ai's coming up the stairs.

- Kill guys in the safe room.

- Kill more guys coming up the stairs.

- Hack safe, kill more guys, use catwalks to get around back.

- Carefully fight your way down the stairs and cover again.

- When you get a opening fight out though the back exit.

- Hop in your Buzzard and fly away long before SUV's reaches you.

I think its funny so many people can't handle fairly simple 1 step fetch missions, but whine insessently for heists. I have a feeling a large majority will constantly f*ck up the heist, and whine for them to be made easier. That is my biggest problem with alot of games recently, they have to be dumbed down for the masses. But i want to believe they can change!

 

On topic: if you use actual strategy all missions are very simple to pass.

[sultangris]

they are actually fun now, they were far too easy on hard before, you could solo them all easily, lame, lol! now you need to be good and have help, much more fun.

Not when enemies can take a full drum from the assault shotgun, and spit bullets out of their ass when not facing you.

Crystal Clear Out 1 2 3 very easy solo hard. Dry Docking is impossible alone cuz of the constant spawn and Judging the Jury is impossible solo cuz of the stupid timer for the last 3 targets.

tear gas helps a lot. Throw some near the entrance of the safe room and then some more near the stairs. The buff it got where it lasts longer helped quite a bit.

[God-eater]

I've noticed that the bad guys are way more deadly now - not only do they never, ever miss, I'm pretty sure it's headshots that are putting me down so quickly - or the massively focused fire from way more bad guys than were there when I looked (you guys have seen it - you see two bad guys, you sprint across an opening, no less than 5 different bullet trails rip you apart before you've taken three steps - and you checked. They were not there before - like those guys who spawn outside the hanger in A Titan of a Job - I literally watch them spawn in, usually right behind the portable - ie right behind the place where at least a couple of us are firing into the hangar - ie they spawn in directly behind us and open fire instantly - before I used to preemptively cover that spot, we would lose someone to them every other time we did the job).

 

Also, respawning in-mission has become weird - I pretty much respawn as far from any cover as possible, but also right in the middle of the firefight - I often get smashed down to half life and sometimes get killed outright in the half-second I spend getting my bearings. They really need to either get rid of that little quirk or stop bothering to give us extra lives, since they're essentially wasted. Is it really so difficult to code the respawn point to eliminate "directly in front of multiple enemies" as an option?

[Judicious 7]

From what I gather, the AI has gotten more broken and more cheap with respawning. I bet it'll get harder with the next update.

 

Before you even spawn in, the enemies will be shooting lol

[cjdavies]

I have not done Stocks and Scares but people saying it's a challenge not meant to be easy, have you tried it solo? The continuous spawn sounds impossible not challenging. Sounds like the coding is looped for the spawn, should be a cap somewhere.

 

Then I hear to complete these missions is get a buzzard, to me that shows you cannot complete it by vehicle/foot.

You'd think it's a coding thing, but it may be poor mission creator skills on R*'s part. I've look at creator options for Capture AI, and there's an option to allow a number of respawns for the AI. If I remember right, there's an option for always respawn, but I don't know... This sh*t ruined Call of Duty campaigns, I don't want to experience it in a game where the shooting mechanics are atrocious.

You're right. In Capture Creator, we can set the respawn from 1 to 20 times or simply "Unlimited". The respawn is ridiculous because they really respawn out of thin air a few seconds after you killed them.

 

And somehow, I feel Rockstar use the similar "Creator" to create missions and when they test them, they activate Invincibility, causing them to not knowing the real experience of their own creation.
