does every level have a super suit? bodyguard could go anywhere in paris (though got IDed by a couple of upper stairwell guards), i sorta wanna run around in a biohazard suit in sapienza

and i have to do colorado for the first time so i have mastery for the elusive man from mass effect, which is totally who that guy is

this games pretty great, i am killing people with toilets

question about krueger and the bandage face hokkaido guy - if you don't 'complete' the outfit (makeup for krueger, remove bandages for hokkaido) are there any drawbacks to that?

i was really excited to watch videos of people doing elusive targets but most of the shitbags just use propane/fire extinguisher 'accident' kills which is really boring to watch

that food critic one was hilarious but it was the exception that proves the rule. i'm really glad that for my first elusive target i won't feel even slightly compelled to use an explosion 'accident'

wonder where he'll patrol... knocking him out then dropping a hay bale on him or something might work?

i'm looking for the opposite of super suits now

hokkaido has a lot, baseballer, ninja, motorcyclist

bangkok has the stalker (which is really funny)

colorado has the default suit (boring but ok)

sapienza does not have one? plague doctor said trespassing, so i don't think it is a full-hostile suit

paris i think also does not have one

marrakesh should be the prisoner, haven't checked this one

i take it back where the gently caress is he. must be in the mansion

i am probably wrong but





one of roses guards looks sorta like him? my graphics are turned low and i am not willing to risk this... yet

e: its the same guy not in elusive so nevermind i guess. he is hiding really well drat

e2: the only missing starting spot is hacker disguise so he is almost certainly in the house somewhere

e3: ok yeah he's in the upstairs hacker room doing roleplay. i got in really easily by starting as a militia in the greenhouse, grabbed emetic from the orchard agency drop (i am new to this game so i dont know if this is good), ran into the little trailer and grabbed the elite guard outfit. i got some white static attention but nobody busted me (did this twice in 2 runs, so it does work) then ran into the house. camera saw me (again, i am new to this)

i'm behind some boxes since he's got a single personal guard that goes onto the balcony periodically (if this is the black guard that patrols along the corridor, the route was changed - he just patrols between the hacker room and the balcony). the two hackers might give me some grief for the hit, but if i can emetic him (he sits down to roleplay, but stands up as well) he should go throw up. he drinks from his water bottle as well but i only have injected, not rat poison - plus he'd see me for sure

the data is in the hacker area as well, in the room adjacent to the target

i emeticed him and he vomited in... the trash can, next to the bathroom. the knockout was trivial, but i need to find a window to toss him out since he won't go to the toilet to be drowned

where the red fern gropes
Aug 24, 2011


ok, i killed him, but apparently even though it was an accident, them finding the body (i dropped it out a window) counts as body found and no SA rating

Pennfalath posted:

put a coin on the toilet seat

yeah poo poo i should have tossed a thing into the bathroom and just drowned him. gently caress


my route was:

militia in greenhouse

run to elite guard outfit in trailer, put it on, ignore static noise

run up the ramp, go left, hug the fence so the camera doesn't see you

there's a window on the left side of the house, leading into the camera recording room, and a guy who sees through your disguise, just run past and upstairs

emetic the target when nobody is looking

lockpick the bathroom door (facing out of the hacker room, go left, then it's the first door on the right)

he'll barf in the trash can next to it

do whatever the gently caress you want at this point

to get the documents, go back into the hacker room, wait until they're both out then get it - or if only one of them is in, go outside the room and toss a coin to the left, then go in and retrieve

exit house same window you came in, exit mission via bridge


very easy mission and i would SA it if i knew the mechanics beforehand lol

ET: stuck a emetic syringe in his butt, took him down next to the trash can when he went to puke, and dragged him into Rose's room after I took care of the lone guard there. Then just shoved him out the window onto the awning and gave him a little kick and that was the end of that.

for me they saw his body so i lost SA

Your tutorial mission target in Absolution is Diana. 47 conveniently shoots her in the stomach-ish area and then has to leave because security arrives. This leaves her fate ~ambiguous~ until the ending where it is revealed that she faked her death and he shot her in a very non-Hitman-y way on purpose because he didn't want to kill her. Which in hindsight is pretty obvious, because it makes her like the only Hitman target to be killed off in a cutscene, and also baldy probably has a crush on her or something I dunno Absolution isn't very well written.

i think it's because she's the only person he knows, except for agent smith




speaking of smith... useful guy

things i understand to be true:

1. i need level 19 (christ) paris to start at the auction
2. i need level 15 (workable) marrakesh to get a rubber duck
3. i need level 20 (goddammit) hokkaido to get loadout slots
4. i need level 15? colorado for disposable scrambler, for hokkaido RFID in the morgue

Basic Chunnel posted:

Remember that completing a mission gives you all the mastery points accumulated in total since the last time it was completed, meaning that you can complete a challenge and reload to a game state prior to that challenge (or to the end of the level in a different playthrough) and still get the points. So if you want to climb the ranks, spec your loadout to beat as many challenges as possible, keep a save from right before you kill a given target (plus one from right before you exit the mapt), then just rack up the challenges. You can get to 15+ in less than an hour this way.

You can also replan the mission and get the easy points from beginning the mission in different disguises / load a game where all targets are down and get easy points from exiting the level in all possible ways.

yeah i did this for the baseball masked guard knockout challenge

i am attempting a TRUE HITMAN RUN of bangkok, SASO, playing recording and shooting cross from the chair in the signature suit, ultimate badass style

what i am wondering

1. if a person question-marks over their head from seeing me, does this void "never spotted"? never got suspicious or anything like that, just used it to lure dexi

2. jordan obviously sees 47 in the chair. that won't void spotted will it? it does the full hazey dot above head thing but he doesn't go through the panic thing, just does the correct scripted stuff

3. how the hell am i going to get back down?

nevermind i did it. that was pretty great i felt like a badass and i got saso

i ended up getting in (and out) via the glass roof area, sneaking through the room full of band members watching TV (not the party room), knocking out the one guy on the balcony, climbing up the pipe

then in the recording studio, went right through a lounge, forward past the recording booth, through a bathroom? then took the stairs on the opposite side of the pipe

once up, verrrrrrrrrrrry carefully snuck around dexi (had to wait for her to be on the phone, then move when her head turns), distract her through the room with the guitar in it, knock her out, take her poo poo, go to her room and take her other poo poo, then back to the stairs and go into jordan's room

i went to the effort of getting the master keycard but it was totally unnecessary

shoulda done it in the santa suit

i wish non paris maps had more escalations, there's like 20 vs 1 on hokkado/colorado and 2 on bangkok

if anybody here has not done the ABEL DE SILVA opportunity in bangkok, 47 has some excellent lines if you follow it to the end. i suggest starting in the linen closet, grabbing the master keycard, then running to the keycard room adjacent to where de silva starts, lure him with a coin then take his stuff

seriously its good

i like the sticky pistol thing, that is clever. hope they do the same thing with a larger weapon so you can't just stow it for 5 seconds to get past guards

Yeah, the escalations are good, even if some contain seriously unfun things like tripwire mines and such.

I'd recommend going ham on a level sometimes with a silenced shotgun or assault rifle, it's very liberating to just get a security guard disguise, walk up to the target, and start murdering fools.

i don't know why i never thought of doing that. do the weapons have enough ammo?
