Nakar posted:Was there a chance that the guard target was the bodyguard for a main mission target or something? Some -- but weirdly, not all -- personal bodyguards have special AI where, instead of picking up a weapon if they spot it, they call the nearest guard other than themselves to come get it so they don't leave their charge alone. This is probably what it was, I think they might have been one of Francesca De Santis' bodyguards in Sapienza. Either way, I am real bad at using the "easy options", though I have now done 40 featured contracts and don't believe there are any more semi-hidden unlockables in H2 so I am done for now. Nakar posted:Personal bodyguards have the weird psychic ability to know exactly when their charges are dead and will either go looking for them or alter their schedules. A good example is if you kill Penelope Graves while she's inside the farmhouse in Colorado, her guards at the front door will immediately decide to come in looking for her. Otherwise they stand there until she leaves. There is no logical reason they'd come inside, they just do because Graves died and they magically know it. drat it, I should have realised this when I did it. I resorted to injecting her with poison while she looked at the clock, then scampering down into the basement (where Sean Rose's body was waiting for me) before the guards noticed. Every time I feel like being a bit nicer about Colorado there's some sort of bollocks getting in the way.

The_Doctor posted:Good grief, I was just doing the Dartmoor Baskerville Escalation. Stage 2 is required accidental deaths, stage 3 adds the rather unnecessary limitation you only get 60 seconds between them once you kill the first person. And they still have to be accidental.

Every time I try and drop the lighting rig in Paris my PS4 freezes. On the other hand, I played through 'House of Sand' for the first time last night, prefer it to the standard map. I found the market area in Marrakesh and the plaza in Sapienza to be odd in the usual missions besides adding some nice sense of place, but otherwise they seem like mostly wasted space.

nexus6 posted:Also, it seems pretty much impossible to kill Royce in the break room after she yells at people without her bodyguard immediately coming in. You can throw distractions all over the place and the dude will never come in until the moment you stab/garotte her. If you go to her room and use the terminal to fire that one guard by the door he'll talk to her bodyguard, who just happens to be his best friend. Royce will continue with her loop but her bodyguard will not be by her side for a couple of minutes.

Yeah default Marrakesh puts the targets in an office building and a small CoD level and the actually-interesting part of the map is used as a hub.

Guilty posted:it's easier to set up the electric trap at the water cooler and then lure her out. Or you can put an emetic poison in the air conditioner and she'll run to the bathroom How do you do this without electrocuting yourself? Can you turn the power off?

Is shooting the cooler and powerstrip (assuming there is one) a viable option? You can expedite a lot of interactions like that by shooting.

With water cooler traps and plugs, you can also shoot either the cooler or the plug. Kind of hard to do with the break room one, but it is an option at least.

Dumping bodies over ledges into areas that are technically not 'hidden' as such but still inaccessible (such as a roof) is a pro strat. Got out of a sticky situation in Berlin doing that during a run last night.

DalaranJ posted:Are placed explosives accidents? they are not, but if they detonate something that is (propane tank, fuel tank, etc) and THAT explosion is what kills the target then that does count as an accident. so you can sometimes cheese it a little where you put the explosive just out of range of the target themselves, or put the accident explosive in between them and your remote mine

The following things are considered accidents, based on how Contracts Mode classifies them:

I've been playing the Dubai map for more than an hour trying to get the Nightcrawler challenge. Three times the Sheik has come up to the penthouse, tried to speak to Carl then just gone back downstairs. Is this bugged or is there a 50/50 chance he'll stay upstairs? edit: Still got 20 mastery on Dubai without doing those sheik challenges nexus6 fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Feb 7, 2021 |

When mastering Colorado I learned that the stripped wire plug also throws sparks to cause a gas explosion. Obviously, the complication is that this is not very useful unless you can toggle the power off because it will just kill you immediately.

I was in the same boat and thought that maybe he only lies down once so I restarted, grabbed an elite guard outfit, and just tailed him for his first cycle. It still took 10 minutes but the first time he got to his room he lay down. Not sure if lucky or correct.

It's bullshit that you can get the achievement for drowning Royce in the coolant tank, but you don't get the drowning achievement as part of Versatile Assassin.

I had the Sheik wake up almost instantly one time when I was in the room when he laid down. It may be that if he "detects" you in some capacity he won't go to sleep, but I don't know the specifics.

A lot of challenges seem like they’re hosed up. I can’t get the gold bar pacification in Dubai to work, or the grape one in Mendoza. It also seems really easy to break the scripting in Mendoza and lead to a target just freezing up. I was able to repeat it by taking a picture of one of the QR codes when I was supposed to be taking a picture of the woman. It would not only freeze her in place, but she would no longer appear in red either.

man I have never even seen the sheik outside his speech at the beginning of Dubai. I swear no matter how many times I play a level eventually I like open a door and find out it’s actually twice the size I thought it was and there’s this whole separate ecosystem I didn’t know existed

Also, when the Sheik in Dubai says "Help from my cousins" he's talking about the Sheik from Hitman 1 and 2. They have the same last name.

It's Agent Carlton Smith, a semicompetent CIA/Interpol agent who you run into throughout the series. He's made an appearance in literally every Hitman game, with the possible exception of Hitman III/2021. Here's his fandom wiki page: https://hitman.fandom.com/wiki/Carlton_Smith
