I can't decide which of the new fixes is the best one - the Hokkaido heart fix or the map button.

God, I hated Holiday Hoarders the first time around, and now it's a timed event? gently caress that. Picking up all the things before the two thieves get to them is a pain!

Start as an AV guy, grab the two things on the second floor, go to the basement, grab a security guard outfit so you can grab weapons without a fuss and get the items on that floor, then get the stuff from the first, then get the stuff from the third.

Got it, thanks! Now I'm waiting for the two dudes to come closer so I can propane them.

My game has decided that locking up when loading isn’t fun anymore and is doing it when I open the save menu instead, which is far more funny when it happens.

I like how two of the featured contracts are just tests And how agent 47 and random overly complicated murders are the real reasons for the season

Note that the test Featured Contracts do technically count for the new challenges. If you do everything under the Featured tab, you'll be at 7 FCs completed instead of just 5. Doesn't quite change anything, though it does mean I suppose that you can skip two contracts along the way if you'd really rather not do them. Also note that, unless there's an auto-fail condition on the Featured (which I don't think there ever is; IO seems to demote them to optional complications when featuring), you can just complete the contract by any means necessary, utterly botching the contract conditions, and exit the map to register it as "complete." So long as you can exit, it counts as finishing.

bleh I got all the items and got the santa suit and was waiting in the basement for the dudes to meet up and one of them spotted me trespassing so I had to knock him out. left his body by the tree and blew up the propane tank when the other guy was checking on him. gave me the 12 items challenge and the santa suit accident challenge but didn't count for the propane combo kill one. so presumably I have to do the 12 items over again anyway

Nakar posted:NOTES: Killing The Constant causes the helicopter exit to become unavailable. I don't know why this is, but fair warning if you're planning to route that way. Every other exit should remain available as normal. that must be a new change because previously killing the constant made all exits unavailable

Could you even make him a target before the patch? you could make him a target, but if you didn't make him a target he'd still show up in blue through walls. i admit i was fiddling around with targeting and detargeting him but i could never finish creation of a contract with him dead

I finished the Holiday Hoarders challenges. Took me a couple hours because I decided to just figure things out on my own rather than just watch a video on how to do it. It was pretty cool. Including watching the MrFreeze2244 video (which I watched to figure out how to get the Santa suit easily after figuring out how to get it), it would take maybe half an hour to get all the challenges. The brick one was the easiest. Start in the basement, grab the bricks, and then brick the guy when he walks into that break room. Wait for the security to wake him up, repeat two more times.

Do Featured Contracts rotate out when they add new ones? Just wondering if I should try to do all 7 before the next batch get added.

Still on my first playthrough of Hitmantm 1 (although i did some extra Paris runs waiting for download to finish). Silent Assassin on all except Marrakesh so far, where I stumbled into having both targets in front of the APC and couldn't resist the shiny red button.

I don't know about that, but you're wasting your time by playing the game in Hitman 1. Playing in Hitman 2 allows you to use your unlocks in the hitman 2 missions.

I had the same thing happen, but they noticed me after being sad at their empty haul and it worked out.

For 2 days in a row, I have the same run destroyed by a disconnect. The connection to everything else is stable. Then I try to save and it goes offline and then it hangs forever. Screw that always online bullshit, this is the worst type of not-DRM. And screw those who defend it saying that the company that forcefully rapes us with that dumb policy with zero benefit to consumer is still good because at least they apply some lubricant.

^^^^ Calm down So, question about Mumbai: How do I call Vanya or Dawood as the Kashmirian to report on a hit? Does it have to do with the colored smoke that I haven't used yet? Also I HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME FOR 54 HOURS AND I AM STILL FARTING AROUND IN MUMBAI

If you kill one of them, you can call the other. First go into the Kashmirian's apartment and investigate his laptop. I think that's all it takes to be able to make a phone call from any street phone. If you kill both he'll call The Maelstrom (not sure if you can call him yourself).

If you wait long enough for the two thieves to return empty-handed, they will go outside and stand next to a fountain that already has two propane tanks in it. You can blow those up no problem.

Is there a name for runs where you just make the target disappear without anyone noticing? I know they count as SA runs but you can get SA even if you kill targets publicly with poison or an accident. I find it funny when bodyguards wander around looking for their employer "Mr Caruso? Where are you? Please say you're ok"
