It is one of the most frequently asked question about ESHQ: what do we need to collect documents and containers for? Well, we have the short and the long answer. The short one is:
You can see these notes when you find the first document and the first container. They can easily be found on the very first map.
And what is the long answer?
1. You need to collect at least 91% of required documents to open hints that will help you to find containers.
Hints can be opened on every 10th map if 91% or more required documents are collected. So, it is important to collect documents throughout the mod. It is not difficult - all of them are directly available from the player’s path. At the end of every map mod will show the currently collected quantity.
If the state is enough for now or excellent, it means that you’re doing well. The excellent state means that you’ve found all of them.
2. Hidden containers can open some superabilities.
But it is very important to find exactly one container per map. F. e., if you reach the 22nd map with 20 or fewer containers, you won’t be able to collect them all by the end of the path. It is a bit harder to do but it is still not difficult as hell: you don’t need to make long workaround or solve an extremely complicated puzzle to collect them. Just a bit more attention - that’s it.
Update: we want to make it easier to get superabilities. In the next version they will be available with 20, 40 and 60 containers instead of old linits (22, 44 and 66).
What do you need it for? Well:
- 22 containers will give you the superflashlight;
- 44 containers will give you the invisibility for enemies;
- 66 (all) will give you invulnerability to everything (except falling off cliffs).
And one more thing: you can’t lose those superabilities. If you start a new game (or even another mod using our engine adaptation), your achievements will stay with you. This is why you need them!
3. One more thing: the newest versions (13.3 and newer) contain achievements... They’re more “quests” or “rampages” from GTA than “achievements”, because you can’t take them to the new save like superabilities. But, whatever...
These tasks can give you weapons that you can’t find on maps without them.
More info about collectibles and achievements you can find here. And let us know down in comments if you have something to say about this part of the mod. Thank you for your attention!
Strange, I collected well over 44 Containers but I didn't seem to be invisible to enemies. During my playthrough I used notarget a few times to see if I could activate a turret so maybe that's why lol.
Hi!
No, it’s only about their quantity. In current version of ESHQ, if you haven’t 22 containers on 22nd map, mission is failed.
But we think that we can make it more player-friendly. So, the next version of the mod will require only 20 of them (40 on the 44th map and 60 on the last one, respectively).
Maybe, this will make this part of ESHQ more accessible
