[@cherno8119]

One detail about the .50 cal in this game that I love is that if you fire it enough times in succession you'll get the "dampened hearing" effect the same as if a grenade went off next to you. For some reason it doesn't happen on the technical's DshKM though, which I'm kinda disappointed about.

Its probably an oversight, but Im pretty sure it could get patched in, if the developers got wind of it.

[@alexisrivera200xable]

Fellow Army vet here, that type of vivid premonition style dream is both comon and based on your mind subconsciously warning you a specific place is obviously dangerous. It can also happen with places you hate or dread. Is it a real premonition? Who knows?

[@ravensiege3045]

I’m certain in this game you’re a military contractor if you’re playing security because they have access to more then just American equipment

[@sylaconnocalys8443]

If I remember correctly that is the actual like lore of the game. There’s even a PMC outfit in the game.

[@ravensiege3045]

Also a lot of the insurgency seem more like mercenaries as well considering they have a mercenary voice line

[@eggguy20]

Some of them could also just be common security or local forces who were just trained in case something gets out of hand when considering the ministry map, the detainer and internal affair outfits as well as the regular voice lines

[@letsplaysvonaja1714]

It depends, there are 3 voices/base characters you can chose at the Security side, 2 are locals that got trained by the contractors while one of then is a British soldier. As for insurgents, you also have 2 locals trained by Russian mercenaries while one of then as an actual Russian mercenary.

I remember reading a story on how someone growing up was incredibly sick, went into a hot bath and passed out in it. In their sleep, they had a dream about driving in a sandy area and then an explosion happening. They wake up later and don't think about it too much. Years later, they are a soldier in Afghanistan, when they suddenly feel a chill as the memory surges back, and he stops the convoy to check for IEDs ahead. He was correct, there was indeed one right where he dreamed it would be.
