To have your partner follow you in a vehicle, aim at the vehicle, then bring up the QAM where the option will be shown. To give orders to partners, the Quick Action Menu can be used. The player can recruit a Police Officer to be their partner by targetting them and pressing G.Īlternatively, one partner can be recruited per each visit the player makes to a police station. We thought these changes would be especially helpful for those who like to play as SWAT teams and such. They can now follow the player in their own vehicles or be commanded to deploy their stun gun on the person the player is aiming at. We also introduced some new things for partners to do in 1.0d. Using the new Quick Action Menu, it is now possible to give orders to the Primary Partner and the two Secondary Partners. The second and third partners that the player recruits become the Secondary Partners The first partner that the player recruits is referred to as the Primary Partner. The player can now recruit up to three partners, who are automatically divided up into two groups for easier control. This changes in LCPDFR 1.0d, with the introduction of multiple partners, allowing the player to have up to three fellow officers assist them. In all prior versions of LCPDFR, the player has always been restricted to having one partner. In this case, the option will only apply to the selected partner group. Alternatively, you can use the middle mouse button (Right Thumb on Xbox 360 Controller) to cycle between the secondary and primary partner groups. By default, selecting an option from the Partner category of the QAM will result in the option applying to all partners. The Partner category is special - it has two subcategories within it for the primary and secondary partner groups. If hidden and then brought up again, the QAM will show the options of the last visible category. This will allow you to cycle through all categories. To navigate between categories within the menu, simply press Tab (LB and RB on an Xbox 360 Controller). Selecting ‘Cancel Menu’, which is always the first and default option in the QAM, will simply hide the menu again. To select the highlighted option, release your hold of the Caps Lock key. From there, you can move the mouse vertically to highlight options. The QAM menu is brought up in the same way, by pressing and holding Caps Lock (Left Thumb on an Xbox 360 Controller). We thought this would be particularly useful for players using game console controllers. The QAM can now also be used to request all kinds of backup available. Plus, with the addition of multiple partners in 1.0d, there’s two partner subcategories: primary and secondary, which can be used to give orders to specific partner groups. The QAM is now arranged into the following groups: This has been reintroduced to LCPDFR in 1.0d, but is now contained within the new QAM group for ‘Speech’ Those familiar with the earlier versions of LCPDFR might remember being able to make their character speak by pressing some keys on their numpad. We’ve added a bunch of new options to the QAM as well. Now, the QAM takes on an entirely new design, based on vertical scrolling and separation of options into groups. Your feedback told us that while the QAM was a very useful new feature, it was difficult to use in certain circumstances and the interface design left a lot to be desired. The Quick Action Menu has been rebuilt from the ground-up in LCPDFR 1.0d.
