So you're just being a jerk if you do it. You kill one guy, next thing you know you're being attacked by 4, or getting hit with the orbital cannon over and over again. Either way you will probably keep getting killed until you leave the session.Having 2 is good because when you source to one it will have a cooldown on it so you can just source to the 2nd one. But there's no point in any more than 2 because the cooldown is not that long. Just a big waste of money.

They're quad lens combat helmets. Press square in the interation menu when you have the helmets highlighted to turn their features on.

The missiles are super accurate and it does a good job dealing with cars on the road if they happen to crash into it. It also has boost for getting to places quicker.

It also has it's own client jobs that pay well. I use this for sourcing vehicle cargo and crates.iF YOU NEED TO SPEND MONEY, SPEND IT ON THESE TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER!
