    Certified prude here, I would usually go for a base of a build for general survival on every difficulty: 1) stoic deck (muscle was fun, but I want to live) Medkit aced ("panic button") Hostage taker (so you don't go out like Cesar) Then I would use some from the list for "the fun part": 1) Inspire aced (if you feel like a good person that day) 2) Crits for concealment (low blow) 3) Crits for not being shot at (unseen strike) 4) 6 sentry guns (no medkits, don't get downed, it's a long way to full hp) 5) basic overkill (when all shotguns...) Some builds had a granade launcher, some good pickup guns for sentry, others did max crit flamethrower, others had dodge I don't even need... But you need a base to not die Also I avoid "body shot headshot" perk because it seems like an expensive crutch

    12:08 - I used to record hour-long videos back when I played The Crew 1 and I can see that sometimes I'd come across someone and you could drive with them for 2-3 hours. There was a text chat and probably also voice chat but they were both in the background much of the time. It was nice. I tried the second game and didn't like it, maybe it was how it felt to drive..Or the festival-esque treament it was given. I barely paid attention to that in Horizon, but I think it was just slightly worse in Crew 2.
