Time trials and Hotshot missions r too hard

[Archangel]

Does the xbox controller allow for movement with the left analog stick? I only ask because I have a logitech controller with a similar set up to a ps3 controller and my left analog is only usable for the quick menu options as well as a vehicle summon shortcut and im forced to use the d-pad on the left which I'm not too fond of.

The left stick does movement and i think the right trigger does gas and "A" or the Green button does the E-brake slide.

The control map and buttons can be found in game where you can modify keys.

I think you have to first turn On key mapping then switch to controller or say show control mappings.

It then highlights the buttons if your in a vehicle or on the ground.

But once you connect the Xbox controller its automatic. Super easy to setup. Plug it in, and use. Nothing else required.

I couldn't get anything on time races after leveling up my ride a few bars I made Silver. Try that if your having trouble.

Yea I was able to get the controls mapped out the way I liked except for switching the movement from the d-pad to the stick. Scoured the mapping options for about 15 minutes before I gave up and unplugged the controller. Not sure if the option is there or not but if it is I'll feel like an idiot lol. I'm using a http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/f310-gamepad Logitech F310 gamepad so I think the main issue is the placement of the analog stick versus a xbox controller. I might just need to buy one if remapping movement to the stick isnt possible.

I really should plug my pc into my flatscreen and give my xbox 360 controller a spin :P (yeah, my desk is close enough to my sofa so that I can do that, hehe).

Im curious whats your runner skill? I had problems with the time trials early game but after clearing main content and derping around with side pursuits i had lvled up my runner skill enough to tackle time trials with a reasonable amount of ease.

I agree. I would like to complete this part of the game but am unable too because my internet is poor and my controller wore out. So I understand gold is out of the question but I'm missing out of some 200 ego levels. Some in game tips would make all the difference.

2. Skills max at 20 so i would create a support ticket with Trion since having higher skills in your rollers is key to getting gold on some of the races.

Time trials are runners. Not rollers.

Skill levels should not apply at either trials or challenges, afaik. But maybe that is bugged as well.

Moonshine shack is a pain due to ammo. get the scavenger perk, should have level 1 already from arkfall codes. It really helps.

Try using an Xbox controller for the time trials. I hear they make driving much easier.

Myself, I did have some issues but did get my silver with all of them after a number of attempts. Not going to do any of those ever again, of course. I understand that there are players who like these kind of mini games. Not one of them, sorry.

What really get my blood boiling though is when I pass straight through the middle of a ring and not a damn thing happens. Especially when I barely nudged the ring before and got it. Blood Bath Run is my current arch nemesis. Hating those damn rocks in the middle of the course about half way through.

Also, runners handle like a *** * * ** * ** * * * ******* (yeah, that bad).

I do agree with some of the other posters though, it's good that challenges are actually challenging. I thought them impossible and was about to write a rather whiny post but at that very moment. TADA! Gold! AWESOME!

Why does moonshine shack bronze 2000 jump to 8000 for silver (4X!!!!!!)? I've scored endless bronze since 2000 is doable, but 8000... with hulkers, blinding dust, raiders either hidden or magically appearing behind, missile shots that can turn corners, absurd spamming of raiders when cornered to flank all options, poor shotgun response to trigger pulls, some raiders who require two or three direct hits to take a kill... This challenge is clearly designed to not be completed. I've invested at least 50 hours trying to get silver and the closest I got was 7850 which was sheer luck. My average score is around 5000. Bronze, bronze, bronze,.... shxx!!!! At least lower the silver to 7000. I would have completed it a month ago.
