Remember, you can use the shotgun during the races thinning out your opponents.

Haven't done any of the races myself yet either, but whenever I have ammo, the shotgun is VERY handy, also that harpoon can be as well, if you have one attached.
So question, say I upgrade my car PAST what one of the angel builds has on it, I will still get a message that the car is not worthy, will you have to downgrade in order to run the race then?

Oh side question, has anyone tried doing any of the driving with a controller? I have a PS3 controller (got it to play Mortal Kombat on steam a couple years ago) and Motionjoy software, wondering if that is any smoother than KB for driving?

retro movie items?? Do tell!
We got a regular yellow MFP car?
I saw in the Bio sections one of the cars is the Falcon from Road Warrior with those giant tanks on the back.
Maybe Toe Cutters motorcycle?
How many hours for you to finish, and did you do side missions a lot or burn straight through the main plot line? Also are there new like randomly generated missions now that you have finished, or is it just driving around looking for random groups to appear?

I am at 48 of 49 achievements... 98%... I have to collect 3 more cars somewhere on the map, and don't know which ones and then everything will be 100% across the entire board including steam.
67 hours total for me to get to this point.

OK, cool, as I am one who takes my time in games I can see this being longer for me.
What car did you use mostly, or did you bounce around a lot?
Did you find enough scrap to really deck out more than one car?

Once you unlock a part, you can make the magnum opus however you want. I went with maximum everything long before completing the missions, so my car was already at absolute max when I got around 70% of the game completed.
I like the square body of the magnum, with gold paint, and everything else max, especially the V8.

Took me forever early on to figure out how to get "the ripper' car that they advertised as a preorder special - only to find it is not a fully decked out vehicle, it is in the body styles section of the garage. you still have to get upgrades for it. ( disappointed in that in the beginning  ) I have little patience for the bomb detecting missions using the dog.... even though it is extremely cool how they coded the dogs' head to actually point exactly the direction of the mines and to bark louder as he gets nearer to them.... it just takes so long and I have NO protection in that vehicle to be driving around ( no weapons, no armor, no ramming  ) GREAT GAME - Latest thing I have yet to figure out is that it says I have XX amount of undiscovered locations ??? but from what I can tell, I have been everywhere except outside the maps into the "BIG NOTHING" ??

Finally just started playing this game and, well...honestly I think I'm just burned out on these open world sandbox games lol. I've just finished playing to death Witcher 3, Dying Light, and Borderlands Pre Sequel, and I'm barely 5 hours into this one and I think because of those other games this one is particularly feeling like such a chore.
I will say that this is a gorgeous game that plays unbelievably well at 4k, but I think I'm gonna have to come back to this one a little later when I feel like exploring all. over. again.

Build the projects in the safe havens. When you hold over the safe havens, it will tell you what there is to build. The survey plot tells you where all of the locations are. Smoke on the horizon means a point of interest.. You will see them as you drive by.
