n00bd00d 10 Posted December 1, 2010 Got the game recently (had to wait this long for a computer able to run it - anyway, two years later I'm still so very impressed). I had forgot to run the patch and had to restart the single player campaign due to a bug. I must have been a little sloppy because somehow I didn't pick up the laser designator in the first mission. Now a bit later into the game, I could REALLY use it, but I can't find a new one. Anywhere (specific) I can get it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KillerP90 10 Posted December 1, 2010 Hahahah. Listen to the convo on the chopper. You will get the gear option to grab the Laser Des. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n00bd00d 10 Posted December 2, 2010 Yeah yeah, I know that. Re-read the post. But getting the laser requires two clicks/actions from the player and somehow I didn't complete (thought I did). Since I had a good campaign start I didn't want to restart all over again, so I thought 'wth, I'll just restock or find another one somewhere'. Only I haven't been able to so far, which is why I'm posting. Now I'm deeper still into the campaign and would reeeaally prefer it if I didn't have to restart but at the same time the loss of the laser is becoming a serious problem. That 81 mm option can be quite useful and tempting at times, you know, the reason why mortars were invented in the first place I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alwarren 2767 Posted December 4, 2010 Now I'm deeper still into the campaign and would reeeaally prefer it if I didn't have to restart but at the same time the loss of the laser is becoming a serious problem. Just to clarify, once you finished the first mission, you don't get a laser designator anymore. You only use it in the first mission to lase the targets for the flyboys, which, according to Robo, is a f*cking blast ;) (and I won't argue with Robo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n00bd00d 10 Posted December 5, 2010 Ahh... I thought it said somewhere that although not strictly necessary, you could use one to direct mortar fire more effectively (thinking about it: indirect fire, why would the mortar team need laser guidance...?) And so I haven't called in any mortar fire yet. Duuhh... ok. Question answered then, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
