That is true. But every now and then when I play Hotwire, I’ll run into a good car chase.
During the OB and shortly after the release of Hardline, there was this brief moment where most people didn’t have the explosives unlocked and the only way to take down cars were usually with bullets. That was the best time to play Hotwire and enjoy it for what it was made for.
One guy was too focused on his breaching charges to notice me, and the other was just completely unaware that I was up on the hill and heading straight for him.
I do miss Squad Heist, along with the other two DLC modes (Bounty Hunter and CTB).
Bounty Hunter to me was like a better, much improved TDM.
CTB was like a faster-paced Heist that also created car chases more often than Hotwire would these days.
Too bad we never got a 4th mode in the Betrayal DLC. Supposedly it didn’t turn out right, but I still would’ve liked to know what it was supposed to be.
Same goes for the naval map that was replaced by Diversion. I don’t think much was told about that map. Such a shame we didn’t get it since Hardline’s boats are rarely ever used.
I took down a car on hotwire with a Molotov. it cut a corner to chase us and I randomly threw it behind us at and it drove through it and then just blew up and I got the Molotov kill.
Now I wanna see somebody take out a car with a flashbang. lol
I’ve seen it done before, but only against infantry. I wonder if throwing one over some breaching charges as an enemy vehicle gets close enough to them would work? I’m not sure, but that’s something I’ll have to try at some point.
