Yeah it's gotta be an obstacle you can vault for the person not to die Iirc the prompt is different. It'll say dump instead of eliminate if it's non lethal frank.club fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Nov 7, 2016 |

I just threw a duck at them from the balcony and then walked calmly away through the room next door. I absolutely love how it take a second for NPCs to notice you so you can just walk your as out of any situation as long as you're good at breaking LoS repeatedly. HITMANtm: Ducksolution

The one thing I want from Hitman Season 2 is less mandatory secondary objectives. Having to destroy the virus every time while getting to Mastery lvl. 20 made Sapienza my least favorite map, even less then loving Marrakesh, and while the storm bunker from Colorado isn't as obnoxious it still fucks up the flow.

If you start Sapienza inside the morgue and bring Breaching Charges with you then destroying the virus take no time nor effort really.

What I did for Sapienza was destroy the virus, save, and then just load that save any time I wanted to do a challenge or up the mastery for the level. You can't bring in any special gear from planning or get any bonus points from starting in different places but it's worth it.

Ugh, I and everyone else are dumb. I don't know exactly what it would trigger, but the French contact that Richard talks to can be poisoned, presumably with an emetic, to some end. I just wound up using a fire extinguisher on the bar to get Inez- which is what virtually everyone does, unless they're doing something insanely finicky with coins.

I thought I had a good plan: Start in 47's room. Nudge Inez as she's walking up the stairs from the staff area so she's trailing behind everyone else. Kill her at the top of the stairs and return to 47's room. Climb down the drainpipe onto the balcony. Shoot Richard while he's on the phone. Climb down drainpipe and escape. It all went well until I realised the guards on the balcony are Inez's personal escorts and only leave the balcony once she's around. Her body was then found in the staff area by a chef and it all went to hell when I tried to clear the balcony by killing one of the guards. I was intentionally trying not to do rubber duck/fire extinguisher as that seems to be the go-to strategy for most of the elusive targets. Took me hours to come up with this plan and I wish I'd seen the tip about Inez yesterday.

I mean this one time I was trying to stuff a body in a locker but my aim slipped and I looked towards a railing and pushed him off that instead. In my mind it was an accident but it's not for me to decide that, it's up to the game.

Dumping an unconscious body off a balcony does count as an accident kill, it turns out. Ok, this is more complex than I thought. Details when I'm not on a phone. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Nov 7, 2016 |

Discendo Vox posted:Dumping an unconscious body off a balcony does count as an accident kill, it turns out. Following up from this: if you've knocked someone out, there appears to be a risk that their body will be seen mid-fall, which may count as a body sighting, even though the kill itself is an accident. This is inconsistent and has proven hard to replicate.

No SA this time, just a swift call on the phone of phear. It's the first time I've actually used that option, though, so I don't feel so bad, especially as it's one step closer to another suit.

It only explodes when answered, so someone has to pick it up first. Also I think the exploding duck is treated like a weapon and thus guards who find it will just cart it off to the nearest stash, while the phone will just be carried around forever by whoever found it.

The phone is the best explosive to the point where I don't see why you would use any of the other ones once you unlock it.

Jack Trades posted:Is explode-o-phone any different mechanically from explode-o-duck? There are a couple of things that make them different. For one, as mentioned, the phone only explodes when answered — no answer = no explosion. Even if it is held by someone, this creates a significant delay between pressing the button and the explosion going off, which makes it trickier to time properly if you want to do some fancy precision-killing. People also stop to answer it, which can cause problems if, say, a bodyguard picks it up instead of the target — the target just keeps walking while the guard answers, and by the time the phone goes off, the actual target is out of range. On the other hand, the phone also acts as a lure to get people out of the way — if you just leave it lying around and then press the button, it'll start to ring, which usually makes someone come over to answer it. As always with Hitman AI, it can be a bit random exactly who does so unless you prep the situation carefully. One last thing that I've noticed, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, is that it seems to be a bit unreliable as far as multiple “deployments” go. If you throw out the duck, and it doesn't land where you want or if the target ignores it, you can pick it up and try again. With the phone, it has been my experience that it is pretty much spent once you put it down — if I pick it up again, it just doesn't work any more. I get the detonator back and all, but triggering it does nothing.

the explosive duck is a just a coin bomb the phone is a lot funnier and more fun to use in a situation like elusive targets because it can backfire so easily if the wrong person picks it up when you commit to a call - forcing you to improvise while hundreds of npcs around you are in panic mode Thief fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 8, 2016 |

What are the CX Demo blocks for? Are they just larger explosions? That makes the proximity one seem kinda pointless.

Has anyone tried: 1. Dropping poison in the open trough of cold water at the spring? 2. Timing gunshots to the fireworks? 3. Putting an explosive on the coals in the spa?
