Can someone explain to me the trick to get NPCs to follow you by leaving a gun on the ground? How does it work, when does it not work, what are the limitations, etc,. I’ve seen some videos showing it and I want to learn how to use it on the off-chance that we get the Undying, and more relevantly, the Undying Returns ETs in H3. If we do, and I’ve learned to master this trick, I’ll be able to pull off something truly special.

If I have everything correct, you need to :
- place a weapon on the ground without being seen by the target (or anyone else)
- the target sees the weapon
- you must not been seen or too close to the weapon when they see the weapon
- because of that the target will approach the weapon, have a “hm” moment and turn around to alert a guard
- pick the weapon between the “hm” and the turn around
- you must be seen by the target while picking the weapon
- the target will follow you
If the target sees you place the weapon or sees you next to the weapon they will just react with a “hey don’t drop things”, “not funny” or “don’t just stand here” bark (even more if you are in a guard disguise) and it will break the setup.
They need to react with just the weapon and other guards in their AI mind.

And do the guards ever follow them?

It only works with non-guard NPCs (as far as I know).
I’d add (well, it’s probably obvious) to put the gun away or switch to another item in your inventory to quickly put away whatever illegal item.
This ‘weapon report/chase exploit’ can also be combined with switching to another disguise to lead them to the disguise they seen you pick the weapon up with.
Let’s say a target NPC sees you (you’re disguised as a waiter and you) pick up a car bomb, you pull off the trick and now they’re following you. At this point you can get a good ways ahead of them, use shortcuts that normal NPCs can’t navigate like ladders, etc. Now you can go to and change into another disguise you might have laying wherever. Now the target will go to the waiter disguise they started following you in. While you could’ve doubled back to a higher vantage point and, say, kill them with a sniper rifle.

All excellent bits of info for me to use, thank you all. If the Undying truly does Return, he’s gonna be royally fucked.

I came up with another NPC Model Idea for my Winterbottom Set inspired by the Hantu Port Dockworkers, so I’m defenitly and finally going to do Philip and Takewaki for those, so since I already have used most of my Male Asian Heads quite alot, I’d like to do one more, so which one should it be addionaly?
Probably gonna do all of them someday, but only one of them now.

I would take Kaname Konishi, because then you have three different types and I like that! One young one, someone more mature and Konishi being more traditional 
Edit: Takewaki is really attractive though 
is he only in Hantu Port or somewhere else? Asking for a friend

He’s almost anywhere after that. Starting from New York, he should be everywhere but in Romania. In Berlin he’s only visible undressed, since he used for a Barkeeper.

Doesn’t anyone else think that the npcs in Blood Money remind you of robot mannequins? The way they move is so unnatural and creeps me out

So, is anyone here using Windows 11? I recently got offer on my laptop to upgrade from W10 to 11, but I’m not sure if it is worth it - I’ve heard that W11 is worse than W10.
I’ve been using it since beta and haven’t had any problems or issues with it.
How many new posts must be made in a thread that I no longer visit before it stops showing me that little blue circle telling me how many posts have been made since I last visited there? It’s going on 35 now for a thread in no longer interested in. Stop telling me how many I’ve missed!

You can always set the thread to “normal”.

How do I do that? Is it for all threads or just the one I select?
Edit
nvm, just found it. Never even occurred to me before. Thank you!

A quick question to @DrMekar
Is there actually a face under Ezra Berg’s mask and if yes, do you know how it looks like?

Would anyone happen to know what shade of green CM Punk is wearing in this photo? I’ve tried googling it but I can never find the name. This is the only clear photo of this ring attire I can find.
It should probably be fern or lochinvar.
Due to the lighting it’s difficult to tell which part of that image is the true green, but I’d put it somewhere around jungle green.
