How do you kill the heavy gunner guys with an SMG? I can only do it with tactically placed barrel explosions so far, but do they have a weak spot?

Just guessing but the 50 cal,maybe? I use grenades for the armored guys,but I'm not that far into the game yet.
I believe we get armour-piercing ammo later on.

You can unlock a press-one-button takedown for the heavies later on. Otherwise, I just use a rocket launcher, or place explosives and lure them in. They almost always walk very slowly towards you anyway, so C4(or whatever it is) is a pretty good tactic.

The patch did absolutely nothing to fix multiplayer FPS lag..

armoured guys are easy to kill, just shoot a clip into there head or get the skill to stealth assassinate

There's this challenge where you only have an SMG to kill them with and I have emptied multiple clips into the head with no result

I'll have to give it another go with the heavy attack later.

This perfectly sums up my thoughts on this game-

An hour of very enjoyable play, which I was loving....and a pretty great scene(emerging from the pile of bodies) ruined by mash spacebar and 'hold mouse button' right in the middle of the ****ing screen. And then 'warning, leaving objective area' when I stray a few yards away from the exact path they want me to take.

Why do I even have to 'mash spacebar'? ...does he stay there for the rest of the game if I don't?

Ditto.

Anyone know how to download this game through an AMD gfx card code ? I managed to input the code on the uplay website and it gave me the discount to 0.00 and another code, it said to download Uplay for PC and input the code, downloaded Uplay but it shows no games in my account at all, WTF ?

Sarcastic or is it an actual problem? I'm with Virgin, surprised I haven't heard of others with the same problem.,

Does anyone know where I can find the lost expedition missions ? Can't seem to find them anywhere :S

If you got the second key with your game then once you put in the key ( not same key as main game) then the two locations appear on the map

Still no emails from Ubi, Uplay or whatever, game not showing in Uplay at all, pretty annoyed, has anyone else had issues with this, or did it take time to receive emails ?

Sorry I can't help, but there seem to have been a lot of people with similar queries earlier in this thread. If you scan over the last 2-3 pages, I am sure people have reported the same, or at least a similar problem.

I put my AMD order through on Nov 26th but I didn't even get a receipt. I raised a ticket the same day and have phone them twice since that time because they didn't respond. All I've got so far is the receipt, still no download link or key.

I'm in a similar situation except I don't even have a receipt! :rolleyes:

Oh ****... So, my plasma has a nice burn in from the health bar... Not good! Left it on a white wash for 5 minutes but it still resides slightly.

Anyone know of any 3rd party apps that will reduce the HUD transparency?

This the issue with using Plasma's for gaming mate

Yep, been fine for ages, but play a game for more than several hours solid and it shows badly

Left the white wash a while longer this time, seems to have done the trick, but close call!
