Discendo Vox posted:Trip report: the new challenge is surprisingly finicky to get with an SA clear on the last level of the Berlin Egg Hunt. This is because the blue egg makes an unusually far-reaching sound when it breaks, when it knocks someone out the game picks a different NPC to check the noise, and the body itself breaks SA, unlike with tranquilizers. Still quite doable. It's worth noting that the blue egg is a new and unique gadget - throwable impact sedative grenade, and throwing it does not count as a suspicious action. You only need to complete the challenge, not the contract (or even the first level of the escalation) to get it.

Yeah I was kinda surprised since I'd already completed the escalation before, so I was able to just go straight to level 3, the blue egg was just sitting there on the ground, I tossed it and KOed somebody and that was that, challenge complete!

i lost more than one attempt to forgetting that it's a target escalation rather than a target arcade and the pen is mandatory, but i finally got a photo finish on the final level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C-krisdCZY

I like how Diana in her Undying briefing very specifically points out that the race booth will be heavily guarded, so trying shenanigans from there will be difficult and then no, there's no one guarding that room and it's definitely the easiest way to just potshot Sean Bean when he sticks his head out

There's no mention of a time limit anywhere and the egg hunt escalation is available year round, this is just a new challenge they added to it. I think the only time gating is for people who don't own the full version of Hitman 3, Berlin is currently in the F2P rotation and will rotate out in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain the Easter stuff is in the game permanently, unless they're planning to change that. I got my set of Easter themed unlocks done back at the beginning of March.

Ah, my bad, I got confused- the egg hunt is free to play until April 15, but is permanently unlocked with the base game.

That was truly the silliest Freelancer mission. On escalated Whittleton, my side objective was an epic sniper rifle kill. Identified the target, sniped him through one of the upstairs windows. Which being Hitman led every guard to magic their way to my location, so I panicked and jumped in a closet. They didn't find me, but they did find my suitcase I foolishly left on the floor. Someone takes the suitcase, takes it all the way to a guard, who deposits it all the way in the loving Janus house garage I had two options at this point. One, risk carrying my epic sniper rifle in plain sight where I would probably be shot to death running to the exit. Two, leave the sniper rifle safely right where I started and launch a daring infiltration mission into the Janus compound to get my goddamn suitcase, return to the scene of the crime, put my sniper rifle away and leave. Which I pulled off after many close calls, taking out a nosy gardener, then a guard, then juking a platoon of alerted guards to make my way into the house, the garage, get my suitcase and then out. For a suitcase. There weren't any other suitcases I could have used on the map, only that one. Didn't even have enough money at the time to buy something from the vendor that would have given me a suitcase

Assuming you were sniping from the for sale house, you could probably have grabbed a crowbar and exfiltrated through the sewer. The north side of the map is pretty light on armed guards, I think there's just a single cop.

Uhh...surely I'm missing something and IOI aren't scamming Steam users right now, right? Because I'm seeing this:  And I'm not seeing any options to upgrade from "Part One" version to full WoA version.

It says in the description "An option to upgrade to the full World of Assassination is available." so that's probably somewhere, maybe inside the game itself.

Has anyone ever had a bug where a map displays no undiscovered location icons but the challenge counter says you're still a few away from Discovering the area? I've been going through the maps trying to get all the location stuff and in Whittleton Creek I'm stuck at 27/29 despite having found everything. I even counted all the text labels and I'm pretty sure I'm at 29.

Go here and disable the icons (except "navigation") to look around for the named locations you may be missing. From a casual look, I'd say Batty's shed, the explorer statue, plus some of the individual rooms in the Cassidy and Janus houses are the most likely culprits. Hopefully not a glitch. https://www.hitmaps.com/games/hitman2/whittleton-creek/another-life

I opened up Hitman 3 just now to compare and contrast and whatever was going on last session resolved itself because I have the challenge checked off my list now. Weird glitch but at least it fixed itself. Thanks for your help. (Also, weirdly the hitmaps page is missing a couple things on the topmost floor...)

Weren't Hitman 1,2 & 3 each published by a different publisher? Honestly, it's probably a small miracle it's not even more unfriendly and confusing

Yes, I think it was Square Enix who published Hitman 1 (which also quite obviously had the highest production investment of the trilogy), then SE got out of the western game business, leaving IO in the lurch. Hitman 2 got Epic Store seed money iirc and then got addtl publisher support from noted assholes WB Games, who dropped them about as quickly. Thankfully they were able to go to the Epic well again, but more importantly they had by that point successfully pulled off their campaign to be noticed by the owners of the James Bond IP, and secured a contract. That helped keep them going while H3 made a bunch of money and funded WOA’s development. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Apr 9, 2024 |

I just played Sgail and had the same problem, again fixed by reloading, so I'm wondering if maybe my Steam Deck is having problems syncing with the servers or something... EDIT: Actually at this point I have no clue. New York and Dubai had the same problem but I counted the icons beforehand and in both cases as soon as I loaded in the first time it was wrong, and then after clearing the list and reloading the achievement triggered. Haven, Dartmoor, and Berlin all just added up the first time and triggered correctly upon finishing them so

Huh, here's a new one. In a showdown right now, and the game is only giving me 1 trait (brown hair), plus the behaviors and meeting type. No idea on hat, glasses, etc., I'll see if I can narrow it down from just that. I already Alt-F4'd to see if my connection failed. Reloading didn't fix it.

I've had a very strange campaign completion reward: an epic weapon when there are several legendaries I've not obtained yet. I think it's possible that (continuing the "these were coded as DLC and forced into the main pool poorly" trend), the ornamental and ancestral weapon packs are not part of the set of potential spawns for campaign/syndicate completion rewards. I...really wish I'd known that, if it were the case. Has anyone ever gotten an ancestral/ornamental weapon from the safehouse reward box?

I don't think I've gotten Ancestral/Ornamental as a completion reward. I've gotten an Epic from a legendary box exactly once, but it was one of the Collector's dart guns - so already one of the most expensive weapons in the game. I wasn't bothered by it. In other news, that bugged showdown seems to be utterly cursed. I've tried it twice more, once getting stuck on level geometry, the last time the suspect just stopped moving. I'm 90% sure I know who it is (out of 2 left), but I'll have to go back and look at my prestige objectives to see if any of them are feasible, or if I just have to suck it up. Worst case, I just abandon the campaign and I guess lose everything in the toolboxes, but those can be rebuilt pretty quickly.

This is pretty important stuff when it comes to optimizing time to prestige; I burned a lot of effective merces getting an epic shotgun instead of legendary sniper, enough to undo a fair amount of other efficiencies. Very good to know going forward.

I'm not sure if I was out of legendary stuff to get from a completion box, though. I just remember being surprised that I got an epic for finishing a campaign.

Did a Freelancer showdown in Dartmoor. Every suspect was in the manor so after a... debacle that may or may not have involved stuffing seven people into a bush (I am so bad at this game)... I started climbing a ladder onto a balcony so I could knock out a lone guard and steal an inside suit. As I reached the top, I was greeted to the sight of one of my four suspects walking through the air twenty feet above me. They proceeded to march happily far beyond the level bounds without any regard to gravity. Thank God they weren't my target.

Good afternoon, 47. We know this; your target has grey hair, wears glasses, has a tattoo, and wears a necklace. They also like reading and aren’t a god.

Just finished a campaign to check on this - I had all non ornamental/ancestral legendary weapons, but was missing a couple of those. It gave me one of the collector dart guns rather than one from those packs.
