To avoid any confusion. The only mods i have are to limit ammo capacity, and change weapon models.

I had a first person mod, but it was screwing up my accuracy and caused several close calls, and after the construction site mission i removed it cause in that mission, i had to run across the street from the construction site to get a hot dog, cause i was one bullet away from death.

It appears that setting a weapon to be in the shot gun slot makes the bullets spread like a shotgun shot. And it goes both ways, if you set a shotgun to be in any other weapon slot, it will shoot only one bullet. Does anyone know a way to get around this?

If not, I guess I'll be forced to have be able to carry 3 guns, which is fine, but i would prefer it if the limit was 2.

Both have all their top equipment.

In both of the scenes here he went out of his way to basically play with his food when he could've very easily just walked up to them and killed them before they even knew he was there, but he didn't. He wanted them to feel the terror of knowing they're screwed, and it gets more interesting with McMullen taking the opportunity to save himself from a fate worse than death, cause it shows explicitly that this personality trait alex has, lead to him making a mistake, and it is in fact a flaw and an exploitable weakness.

​

And to be clear, it not just him being sadistic. If you also look at it as him underestimating beings he considers inferior, such as every human ever, and by the time of prototype 2 even James Heller. And on top of that, if you keep in mind he does this specifically with people that he hates on a personal level, this exact aspect of his personality, the sadism and arrogance, and the ego is what lead to James defeating him, cause he underestimated James the entire time, and when it turns out he can't easily consume James, he very likely took it as a personal insult, to the extent where he didn't do the smart thing which would be beating the shit out of james until he could consume him, or there was nothing left to consume, he decided that he was gonna mess with him, like killing everyone James cares about first.

So, the protagonist of the just cause series is portrayed as being a human with no superpowers, however, both gameplay and cutscenes show that he is capable of things that would either just be impossible for a human to do as we are subject to the laws of physics, or would result in either death, or permanent disabling injury.

​

Examples include, but are not limited to:

​

1: using the grappling hook that pulls him by the arm at a speed of somewhere between 500 to 600 kph

​

2: grappling towards the ground to negate fall damage from terminal velocity.

​

3: surviving jumping off a 50 floor building without softening the fall by grappling towards the ground.

​

4: standing in lava for about 10 seconds

​

5: standing on a flying air vehicle, without anything holding him attached to said vehicle.

​

6: being in close enough proximity to an explosion to be launched into the air.

​

You could argue that most of these are durability feats, and that is one possibility, but I want to propose a theory that he it's a sort of superpower, that is unrelated to physical attributes. Which is to say, I think his superpower is the action movie trope we call "suspension of disbelief"

​

By this, i mean he has the "power" to be able to do certain things that don't make sense, because if he couldn't, the game and its story would not work.

​

The question is, how can that be applied to powerscaling, cause we don't do plot armor stuff, and obviously he's not completely invincible even if this is a legIt ability he has. The most obvious thing is to look at his feats and go, ok he can do that (like with grappling towards the ground and standing on moving aircraft) and if he hasn't been shown doing a thing, then assume he can't do it (like surviving being inside a tank when it explodes.) but beyond that, I don't know, and would like to hear ideas, if there even are any to discuss, I just think this is an interesting aspect of a character to think about in powerscaling terms.

So... Is it Rampage? or did she get a new horse, cause I'm pretty sure it was at least heavily implied that the horses probably can't be brought back to life.

Would he be like "well this is awkward"

It isn't finished, but i figure it looks good enough that i can show it to people.

Like, prior to Alex actually surviving the nuke, there was no evidence he could survive it. So why was he so confident that it's gonna work?

Before i explain, there's one thing i want to be clear on. Despite what he says, he's not invincible. He took damage from the grenade exploding in his face, he has a scar to prove it, and if he was literally invincible he would have survived the nuke exploding in his ass. So at most he is absurdly damage resistant.

With that out of the way. His damage resistance, as far as we are informed, is not a result of some super power he has, or any armor, or genetic modification. He is just like that.

Keeping this in mind, what does this mean for other damage resistant characters, like Rico and Emmerson Miller? It would be easy to say that Miller without any armor can survive getting carpet bombed by the skystriker rockets because it's gameplay and totally not canon, but this is the same world where Baby Panay existed, and was canonically that durable, so how can we really be sure it's not canon? Maybe miller is just built different? He did think he can actually kill Rico after all. It would make sense if he genuinely could take that much damage, given how It would mean he's much more damage resistant than Rico.

There's also the thing about the other agents in danger rising being able to take much more damage than normal black hand soldiers, despite them also not wearing armor. And coincidentally they're also using grappling hooks, which I've been told would realistically break the arm of any real human who would use it, because a human body would not be able to handle that kind of strain. Well clearly, the agents can handle that strain, which is why they can use the grappling hook, which means their bodies must canonically be that durable.
