District Control and Enemies

[DrakeHellsing]

Wanted to look this up, but not sure what terms to use to search for it.  But basically, taking over a district, will that actually stop enemies from spawning or no? Just cause of these extra things in the challenges to do requiring to kill certain enemies like specialists and the likes.  Will they actually stop spawning or no?

from what i remember on the ps3 version, the gang members & such for challenges don't completely disappear when you own the districts, but they do become incredibly rare spawns, so it's not technically impossible, just a pain in the ass

Yeah they don't dissapear entirely but their spawn rate is extremely small and you can easily spend half an hour driving around the entire district to just find one. Same deal with STAG later on. Make sure you complete their challenge because once they leave after the final mission they never respawn again. Thus you'll have to beat the game and all challenges again.

Ah, thanks for the info, especially about STAG.  Will have to keep that in mind for sure.  Gonna have to do these taunts and kills before I forget about them.

 

And I take it the STAG thing is to do with that tank? I'm only on Act 2, so not too far into the game, but I've cleared out the Deckers (I do have the specialist challenge done for them though).  Need the specialist kills on the other two factions and then whatever STAG is all about.

You just gotta kill 25 STAG Commandos AKA Specialists. Just like the other gangs get on a tank, get your notoriety up (they replace the police) and kill until they show up and you have all 25 kills. Also, a tip for the taunts: you can do them during a firefight, even during story missions and gang fights. Just keep spamming them in front or near enemies and you'll get them. Of course, you might want to have the less bullet damage upgrades.

Ah, gotcha.  The tank thing I assume I have to accept it from the chop shop menu right? If so, that just means I'll need to work on the other vehicles, haven't paid much mind to them (only delivered a boat  ).

 

The taunting stuff, do I need to be unarmed to do that? But yeah, I'll have to keep that in mind at least when I get into another firefight.

With the specialist kills you can just do survival missions which are needed for the challenges anyway. After you finish the survival you will still have the notoriety.

That's a good point too.  I've been doing them anyway to get it up.  And I suppose if need be, redo some of the activities like Mayhem to get them to spawn too.
