During the 28 hours playing of Freelancer CTT. The pitifully small collection of 47’s garage was one of few things that keep bothering me throughout the play. Even the leaked 100 mastery shows the collection was far from completeness. So either for reminding IO to add them, or simply relieving my eagerness to play Freelancer, I’m going to list every one of possible vehicles that 47 could take home.
Vannie Higgins was a Brooklyn gangster and the original owner of a speedboat named Cigarette. This boat was a rum-runner during the Prohibition era in U.S. history. The boat was called Cigarette because of its narrow beam and elongated hull, which, at that time, were unusual for regular boats to have.
It was used to smuggle huge quantities of alcohol from Canada to the U.S. The Cigarette of Higgins was a large boat that was able to attain approximately 50 mph with about 600 cases of rum on board. Some believe this is where Don Aronow, the original cigarette boat manufacturer, got the name for his boat, and eventually, his boat building company.
Aronow grew up in the Sheepshead Bay section in Brooklyn, New York. During those times, both state and city taxes were heavy on cigarettes. Speedboats were used by smugglers to speed over boxes of cigarettes and other goods from New Jersey to places such as Bath Beach and the nearby neighborhood in Aronow’s Sheepshead Bay area. Even after the Second World War, these illegal activities persisted.
When Aronow began to race offshore boats in 1963, he named his first boat, Cigarette. Formula, his first boat company, built it. He built his second boat, Magnum, which is 28 feet long. He used it to race and win the title of World Champion in 1969.
Next, Aronow built his third boat and named it The Cigarette. He used it to win his second World Champion title in 1969. The boat was 32 feet long.
So to recap, why is it called a cigarette boat? Aronow built his first boat with this hull design and christened it The Cigarette. He entered his boat in the United States Championship race and won first place.
Where the hell is that second bicycle in Apex Predator, and how do you use it to leave the map? I’ve never seen any indication of a second bicycle exit.
That would be the E.T. easter egg exit in Berlin. The bicycle was always present, but the exit was only activated with the release of the Easter Egg Hunt Escalation,
I’ve only seen the Sanguine chopper in playthroughs. I’m assuming we can probably unlock/collect other helicopters as well, like the cars in the garage? The Sanguine one just looks too conspicuous and bulky to be flying around all the time.
Yeah, the version from Sgail would be better. It´s the same model, but the green paint job makes it much less conspicuous (and blends well in the forest too!).
I didn’t play the Freelancer beta, were the motorcycle from Dartmoor and the car from Mendoza not available to use on the garage? Those two are easily the coolest of 47’s vehicles, hope they don’t forget them on the final version. Great effort on your list by the way! I never really realized that the Mendoza car was the same one from the Consulate…
Hopefully 47 remembered to remove the tracking device from Rico Delgado’s car otherwise a vengeful Hector and his army of sicarios might show up at the Safe House.
