Yep. Although it appears that at the end when you finish the hack an assault wave is triggered regardless.

My rifle of choice was the WA2000 because of the 10 round magazine and the relatively quick rate of fire. For a sniper rifle.

I've stealthed it up to moving the jackass from the limo to the computer. Some random cop always gets a shot off before we see him and sets off the alarm.

Trick is, at least up to the crane dumping the limo, Killing everyone on street level, the FBI that come out of the suvs and then the cops dropped by the chopper, before anyone can call in dead bodies. After that, cops will start to spawn in the air vents inside the building, and you have to kill them before they get any shots off, in addition to not calling in bodies, cuz the shots fired call will go off.

I eventually got it working. (The first hurdle was realizing that bringing AI along will gently caress you over guaranteed.) Either the script is currently extra broken or specific configurations are; I got the roof car which summoned two waves of blue SWAT on the adjacent building but despite trading fire with them the alarm still didn't go off. Don't remember if the tear gas team got any shots off, but they didn't otherwise cause a problem. Then I got lucky at the end because the special of choice was a hiding-type Cloaker who didn't even see the Thanny shots coming. Checking other sources, you can avoid the vent spawns by quickly boarding everything up before kicking the rest of it off.

Also after reviewing the trophy list, we've actually got 3 unknown trophies: A lab equipment-related one next to First Steps, a golden...pen? rocketship? next to True Ace, and then the third vault statue. Edit: Make that 4. Just noticed the model forklift underneath Choo Choo.

Burning your offshore is now officially in, and doing so also gets you a hidden trophy. It would be wise to blow your extra offshore on card drops first, but keep in mind you need at least $50,000,000 to burn.

Some more details on this, since it's hit the broader community and will be patched soon:

1. It looks like OD doesn't have any vent spawns (it appears they used a lower difficulty as the base for the mission again). I always boarded up as many of them as I could during the wait, anyways. There are enough planks to cover all vents.
2. The spawns behind the building, on the roof, will only occur if the limo lands on the roof.
3. There is a chance of a set of police spawns on the building across the street, particularly if the limo lands on the balcony.
4. There is a time-scripted helicopter roof spawn to try to set off gas. 2 normal enemies.
5. It's not clear that any of the scripted enemies listed above can actually call an alert!
6. The whole thing may hinge on players using silenced weapons. This appears unlikely, though.

Credit to averox, who helped us through one of the more annoying challenges. Now we just need to figure out how to stealth Bomb: Forest...

Already did it :getin: (note you'll need to have someone host a OD stealth or something so you have enough offshore to buy heists again).

It generally looks like there's a lot of additional building out planned for the safehouse.

Pretty decent deal imo honestly. Offshore is so entirely without value after about 50m that the coins are more valuable to me than even 5 billion offshore.

Now that said I'm gonna hold off doing it until the update wave is over just in case they add other things to spend offshore on, but yeah, I will just burn it, join an H&T stealth one down, and not care about offshore again 25 minutes after being totally broke.

Yeah I feel like they wouldn't have casually added the ability to destroy your offshore if they had plans for it. And if they do add something, then they're walking into yet another shitstorm because the community will go nuclear over it.

Besides, the main thing anyone ever guessed they might do with it is let you use it to buy safehouse upgrades and welp. :v:

that is because offshore is completely without value after about 50m and you never need to worry about contract purchases again

The leaked voice lines suggest, at a minimum, that they will be taking our bags. I think they'll have to path down to them through the safehouse, but that the vault door will be open- the layout of the safehouse makes the route moderately difficult to defend. Upgrades to a number of areas have a secondary effect of changing the placement and availability of cover. I think I made the right call to start by upgrading the vault and general areas.
