I'm liking this mod so much that I may skip the dumb-ass story missions entirely. On the weekend, after I finished capturing all the north island pirate bases and buying an M14 ("socom") AR with suppressor and "marksman" sight, I set off for the south island and captured a "privateer" base as a beachhead so I can fast-travel there at will, and also undead there which I need to do very often.
South island base captures are a lot more difficult, as they are generally much better defended. Anyway I captured one more south island base in the center, so I can do the crocodile hunt tonight.
I'm going for the handbag upgrade that demands 4 jaguars, 2 sharks and *5* crocodile hides. Needless to say, this handbag is so huge and heavy you need a small tractor to haul it around. Oh wait, game logic.
In hindsight the "socom" purchase was probably unwise, since you can't steady the crosshairs like you can a sniper rifle scope. However, it does have a suppressor and is < 1/3 the cost of a store-bought sniper rifle so I'm making do. You've got to get in really close, which makes the hit and run stuff pretty dicey. I'm doing a whole lot of underwater bullet-dodging, and I burned through all my health injectors.
