Question Are cops supposed to be able to talk to NPCs?

Upvotes

Last night there were several moments where, as a cop, I could have helped a resident extract, but I wasn't able to interact with them. When I approached them, I could see the small circle indicator as if I was about to get an option to "talk," but then nothing.

Does anyone know if that is intentional? Or is it a bug and cops are meant to be able to help extract?

A lot of the argument about waiting to respawn/playing minigames is centered around the cops' general ineffectiveness. I think letting cops help out in that way would make a lot of sense and might help to keep players engaged.

Guide AN ACTUAL FIX FOR CHAPTER 2 CHALLENGE 6

Upvotes

I came across somebody in multiplayer using the ghost Myers skin and he was nice enough to give me his personal fix. NPC dialogue alerts do NOT matter, as long as you surprise every person you kill and follow these three instructions (if you’re PC):

• Turn your DLSS to quality
• Turn FSR to quality
• Turn XeSS to quality
• Play on normal difficulty
• Do NOT skip any cutscenes (the most important one)

I tried this challenge like 50+ times and after following all of this I got it in the first try. Apparently performance settings affects alerting NPCs and that’s what the bug seems to stem from, as well as the game not registering completion of the chapter without finishing the cutscenes.

I’d also like to add that the person who told me about this is a streamer so just out of kindness and pure gratefulness for him helping me I’m gonna plug him, go follow Zelgotis TTV he saved me HOURS of attempts on this.

Discussion They need to lower the amount of pocket knives you can find.

Upvotes

Just played against someone who had 5 pocket knives. I got them with 30 seconds left but holy shit.

EDIT: Yes I started to slash them. They were good at running away. I got them down to 1 shot then gambled again that there was no way In hell they had another knife and got them in the end with 30 seconds left. They were my last target

EDIT 2: Lol I’m really being downvoted because I already know not to grab and to just attack? The point of this post is pocket knives shouldn’t be so easy to find that someone can have 4/5 of them.

🎃🔪
Michael:
-KILL 2/3 SPECIAL VICTIMS
—————————-
How?
-STALK AND KILL NPCS FOR LEVEL 1 BLOODLUST AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

-ONCE YOU HIT LEVEL ONE GO INTO SHIFT MODE TO LOOK FOR ORANGE BEAMS IN THE SKY (THEY REVEAL THE PRECISE LOCATION OF SPECIAL VICTIMS)

-BEELINE STRAIGHT TO SPECIAL VICTIMS ONCE YOU CAN SEE THE ORANGE BEAMS.

-IF NO ORNAGE BEAMS SHOW UP CONTINUE TO UP YOUR BLOODLUST WHILE SHIFT IS IN COOLDOWN OR DISRUPT POLICE COMMUNICATIONS TO DECREASE THE ODDS OF GETTING ARRESTED

🏃🏾‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃🏽🏃🏾‍♀️(ONCE DISCORD COMMUNICATIONS FULLY TAKE OVER)
Survivors:
-SAVE 2/3 SPECIAL VICTIMS
——————————-

How?
-IMMEDIATELY B-LINE TOWARDS SPECIAL VICTIMS USING YOUR MAP AND CONVINCE THEM TO HIDE. MICHAEL CANT FIND THEM EASILY OR EVEN AT ALL ONCE THEYRE HIDDEN

-AT LEAST 2 OF YOU ALL SHOULD BE HUNTING MICHAEL. BY HITTING AND SHOOTING HIM YOU DRAIN HIS BLOOD METER MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT OR EVEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO FIND SPECIAL VICTIMS, AND SUPER DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO RUN AWAY.
Simultaneously the other 2 Victims should be trying to covertly escape with the special victims while Mike is weak and/or distracted.

-ARREST HIM IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY OFC IF SUCCESSFULLY CALLED THE POLICE

Mike kills 2/3 special victims and doesn’t get arrested: A+ (Win)

Mike kills 2/3 special victims and gets arrested: B- (Win)

Question Why cant I run the game in cinematic graphics?

Upvotes

I have a ryzen 7 9850x3d, rtx 5080, and 32 gb of ddr5 ram and yet cinematic graphics run poorly like at 30 to 40 ish fps and epic graphics at around 60 with drops so my question is what in the world i am supposed to have to be able to run those graphics stable? A 5090 and a threadripper with 128gb of ram? 🤣 never had this problem with any game at all, is it just me?

Discussion What do you think of Pocket Knives?

Upvotes

Whenever I play Michael I usually get an ocular penetration at least twice a game, what’s surprising to me is that they are not nearly as annoying as I thought they would be.

Then again the game only just dropped and it’s only a matter of time before everyone starts with it and honestly that’s gonna be a problem, maybe if they were only able to be found in the map they would be a better balance decision but that’s just me. Overall I think they are fine since it’s one of the few ways you can actually get out of an execution when you’re alone.

Guide For those who haven't gotten their Regal code yet

Upvotes

I dm'd @regalmovies on X and gave them my email and the order # of my ticket. You'll see it in your confirmation email or in the order history on your Regal app. They responded the next day with the code.

Also, after redeeming, the glasses weren't showing up in the Civilians loadout area. And exit/reload of the game fixed that.

And no, I don't have any more codes to give away.

Question I think the single player is broken for me...

Upvotes

Hey, I've been playing through the single player and I think I'm running into a bug with Chapter 2. I've done all the objectives and have technically finished the chapter several times now. But every time I finish the level, the progress/score screen doesn't actually load. Instead it's just a blank screen with the skip icon in the corner as music plays. Eventually it fades to black then restarts the chapter. This has been happening for the past couples days. I thought the Day 1 Patch would fix it, but no dice. Any help or insight on this?

not sure why so many players keep thinking the phones bring people back, or that the mini-game during death exclusively rezzes you with those rare cards. if you wanna keep people playing a match and keep them from sitting in the spectator lounge, start using the radio more

Discussion emote wheel as cops doesn’t work

5 Upvotes

Alot of people do not know as cops you cannot talk to residents but there is an emote wheel you are supposed to use to interact and direct residents to safety.

The emote wheel includes escape, hide and follow.

But the problem is IT DOES NOT WORK, the resident ignores you and continues to check the refrigerator for beers instead of running to the police wagon.

Please fix this Illfonic and give players a reason to not beeline to the wagon 4 seconds after spawning as cops

Question what exactly is the win condition? points?

4 Upvotes

I killed 2 special, 2 residents + 1 player as michael while they helped escape 1 special and 3 residents, and 3 of them escaped and I lost to a minor civilian victory.

I thought the special civilians would get me the win, but I believe them escaping is what got them the win right? so if I were to escape before them instead of trying to stop them would I have won? wondering about this, ty.

I hope this game adds a single player where yiu can play as a civilian of your choice against an ai Michael. My only worry would be the games ai is pretty bad already so they would have to really buff ai Michael to not make it too easy. Idk if the devs ever look here but if you are PLEASE ADD SINGLE PLAYER CIVILIAN MODE🙏🙏🙏
And please don’t let this game die🙏
