I activated the "last enemy" feature and I was able to clear out all of the police.

The last officer kept peeking around the corner of a building while my two mercs took shots at him till the bitter end. Is the last man standing setup so his behavior is a bit suicidal, or...?


DeNiro and his yellow taxi was still gone from this build. Is this intentional since we get the red car at the start of the game now, or...?


I liked having the Merc Recruiting Agent right at the startup site. With the amount of cash we now have, I decided to actually use him for the first time. Out of the four mercs I summoned, only one was willing to be hired by me, Dessert. Another one, Ali, was pretty hostile. We had "words" and was I surprised to get a M60 from him. Nice! Then I summoned Sonar. She wasn't interested in me hiring her. So "words" were exchanged once more. I got a MP5A4 tricked out with a collimator and suppressor. Nice. I summoned Beaver, and he wasn't interested in joining either. So I threw the "dictionary" at him and got a tricked out Saiga shotgun.

After so many declinations, I stopped summoning them.

Are all of the declines typical when using the Recruitment Agent? If so, are there any work arounds to finally getting them hired, or are these only attainable after completing certain missions?

If they are only acquirable after certain events have been triggered, what will happen now that they were killed at the very start of the game? Will they suddenly reappear, alive again? Will they have their gear restored, or...?

I'm hitting the sack. Tomorrow I plan on testing out going to get Pacquito, get my missing gear, and check out the bank to make sure it's working.

Good night all!
