When opened its where you find the better weapons,but all stuff collected has to be air lifted out and thats when the problems arise,if you shoot other agents you turn rogue and you will be hunted down,not only that in the dark zone there are many more hostiles and other human crews that will try and kill you,when you die they can steel some of your stuff that you may have collected but not air lifted out of the area.

Was playing last night for 3 hours,was actually trying to do a story mission for about 45 minutes with 2 other guys,we got nearly to the end but we all got gunned down over and over and we didn't complete it,its extremely challenging for sure and it needs other players for this game to truly shine as its hard doing some of the stuff that is essential on your own.

I know you don't usually play during daylight hours, but I'm going on for an all day session in about an hour if you want a hand.

Not that I'll be that much help just yet at level 5!

Im at level 10 now and i keep getting messages telling me my weapon is underpowered for my level cap,i changed it from my M4 to some other weapon which was level 10 and i hated it,only had a burst mode and i don't like that type of weapon.

Added various Grips and scopes and at present I'm happy,found a nice few touches in the settings menu so you don't have to click and hold to run on the left stick,now one click you auto run and you don't have to hold it.

Now got the Dark zone open but I'm not venturing in until I'm powered up to my liking,just teamed up with a couple of other guys to do a story mission but we failed and we had one Gung Ho idiot running in front constantly dying and letting the team down,obviously we failed that,was in between cooking the dinner so it was only for 30 minutes,now come of until later this evening Nelly,best form of contact is WhatsApp mate and not this forum as i only come on here a few times a day.

Im absolutely loving the game even though much of what you do is very similar,can not wait until i fire it up later this evening so i doubt if your playing it all day you be on,one thing i notice all though it helps,its not essential that you play with your friends as its easy to team up with others doing the same missions you require.

As regards level it makes little difference mate,my preferred weapons are of much lower impact and rank,i think to get some serious fire power and upgrades its going to take venturing into the Dark Zone.

Another tip,do all the safe houses as soon as they appear on the map,that way you can fast track to places around the map a lot quicker,read all the billboards in the safe houses and your base and talk to the soldier in the safe house when doing missions around that area.

Some good videos reading tips and customisation

I'll still be on mate, no question!

Just retrieved my Rainbow Six Seige outfit in game. Very dapper.

Rainbow six siege now a forgotten game isn't it

How the [censored] do you lob a grenade at someone?

Tap left on the d pad, then aim as usual and use the fire button to throw it (right trigger)

Cheers I'll give it ago tonight
Bad boys are in for a shock now

We must have been on for about 6 hours last night,games massive and we achieved very little,a couple of the story modes and thats about it,but its addictive and I'm having a great time with the game,looking at the map outside of the Dark Zone its cram packed with various missions and things to collect.

We ventured into the Dark Zone for about 30 minutes and its extremely tough trying to kill NCPs with lower grade weapons,i actually watched some Youtube videos of others doing this on about rank 21 and not rank 5/10 and they killed the tougher NCPs in a fraction of the time it took the 3 of us with under powered automatics.

So best steer well clear of the Dark Zone until you have the sufficient high powered weapons and suitable rank of 20 plus.
