The Savage is a mediocre machine. It's not very durable, and it's a bit cumbersome for most uses. I bought one simply because I buy all the Pegasus vehicles, but I can't think of one time I've had a use for it. The Buzzard is a better option for most purposes, and where it isn't the Hydra will be.

Not trying to discourage folks from buying it if you want it, but there are better things to do with your money and a lot of Savage owners experience some level of buyer's remourse. IMO, if you don't have a Hydra, buy that instead. If you do; save your money.
 
My favorite thing to do with a Savage is chasing Insurgents. Fly low enough to avoid the pesky Homing Launchers, and fire away the cannons. Strafing shots will spook them to find cover or exit and try their Homing Launcher skills. Also handy for tanks, but you gotta go off radar, as the helicopter icon is an easy target.
 
What is the fastest and safest route to the boat during Pacific Standard Finale? I'm tired of waiting for randoms and blowing through my bulletproof vests because they get killed half way there.

It's real easy if you buy the property just south of the where you pickup the bikes. Everyone goes and gets on the bikes, then get off the bikes and just run next door and you enter your apartment while they are standing bringing them inside with you. When you are all in the apartment you go to your door and select move everyone to your garage. There you hop into your Karuma and head up the west coast straight to the boat, with the greatest concern being which radio station you are to choose. Easy. Don't have the Karuma out for the mission, select a different vehicle on the outfit selection screen so that the Karuma is in your garage when you get there.

If someone isn't standing close enough to the door they may not get brought into the apartment with you, but they can still buzz the door and you can let them in that way and proceed to the garage.

Thank you, but I don't think this will work for randoms who blindly follow the yellow markers when they could just turn left and head straight for the boat with less chance of being killed.
 
Getting to the boat isn't the issue. It's getting three other people to do the same thing. Communication is your best friend, but you can only do some much.

The safest way would be to steal a Riot Van, but they're fairly rare unless you kill a hostage while you're in the bank. Insurgents and Kurumas would also work, but that would require money that I don't wanna spend.

If you are asking how to get random people to listen to directions; I don't think there is anything anyone can do to help. The fastest route is up the west coast, but that's not going to help you if the problem is that folks won't listen and refuse to do anything but blindly follow the yellow markers.
 
Looking for a helping hand in my daily objectives again, this time on my second character. All I need is to participate in an impromptu race, and kill another player while off the radar. As always, willing to help out with yours in return.

So, if ypu complete fhe dailies on both characters, do you actually get $50k?

You're supposed to, but for some reason I'm currently experiencing a bug where daily objectives only work on whichever character you enter online with first. The other character's daily objectives don't seem to update for me if I don't use them first.

Are there any helicopters other than the Cargobob that can survive a hit from a rocket?

I believe the Swift Deluxe has increased armor.

EDIT: I can whip up a custom deathmatch in the Content Creator that we could test tomorrow if you want.
 
Can a player own more than one lived-in property with garage and two stand-alone garages? If so, what requirements need to be met?

You can have 3 total properties, whether they are apartments & houses with garages or just garages, no more than 3 properties (And therefore no more than 30 cars)
 
@CallmeDan, I'm home now, but I have to go run some earands before I can get on. Aiming for around 5PM. Get three guys for the Pacific Standard heist, I gotta get the Convoy setup done today.

Did you know that I forgot about it and didn't even start it? Darn, I need an emergency crew for help. Going for randoms isn't gonna fly in 24 hours.

Well, I'm stuck for a little while. Currently downloading patches for Ace Combat Infinity after downloading the game today. That's a rant for another time, but I'll try my hardest to help you guys. We need to have player-saved outfits and a plan to get to the boat safely.

Ok, I lied. It'll be a bit later than I anticipated. I will be on sometime tonight. Convoy is my first priority, then the heist.

The idea I've had all week, is park armoured Karumas next to the bikes, and we use those to get to the jump other than the bikes. We won't jump them, just park them and basejump to the boat.

Will the cars stay there?

EDIT: We will NOT be BASE jumping at all. We will drive straight to them. Going along the pre-determined trail will take way too long and will increase the chance of us getting killed.
