Carrying without slots
Advance lets Mike keep a compact inventory without the usual slot block, so you can switch between melee and firearms more freely between objectives.
Unlocking the set
Pickups and shop sales cover early needs, while Hidden Package milestones place reward arms at hideouts and Firefighter duty adds the flamethrower per island. The car bomb is vehicle only through the bomb shop and its detonator is combined into the same special entry, while the cut oil slick does not appear in normal play. Use acquisition notes to see whether a weapon needs packages, duty progress or a specific mission point.
FAQ
How do I get free weapons at hideouts?
Collect Hidden Packages for recurring weapon pickups. Not every ten-package milestone gives a firearm: thirty gives armor and one hundred gives the cash completion reward.
Why are car bomb and detonator combined?
They work as one remote vehicle-explosive system. The list separates that installation from carried firearms.
