Pro mode in general becomes a million times easier if you have easy access to the recorder like in Paris. This has the unfortunate side effect of starting as the waiter in Paris being basically mandatory.

Thanks for the answers. where the red fern gropes posted:if you tell us what mission you need disguises on we can probably list some easy-to-miss ones No worries, it was more a general question.

For Chameleon a good way to cheese it is just to see if there's an NPC wearing an outfit you've never seen before, save, knock them out or kill them, change into their outfit (as long as you don't get immediately gunned down), and reload. You don't need to do Chameleon in a single run or even on a single mission; the game remembers if you've changed into an outfit before. Of course, that won't get special costumes that are only found hidden in the map, but it should cut down on situations where you're pretty sure you have every disguise but have never actually turned into a chef before or something. Also, your own suit counts for Chameleon, so at least once in every level make sure you change back into it (changing into a disguise, changing back, and then changing into the same disguise again should work). EDIT: Also, and this is important, undercover starts don't count for Chameleon. If you've unlocked the Palace Staff disguise on Paris but never actually took a Palace Staff disguise from someone you'll think you've ticked off that costume but you haven't. The game is tracking actually changing into a disguise on a person or the floor, which is why your own suit has to be manually changed into. It's annoying that it isn't tracked, but I kind of understand the logic: They don't want you seeing certain disguise names as they might spoil things. It's StalaCtite! Remember: C for CRUSHED (Sapienza): 1-03-6445612-02 Drop stalactites on four Ether employees. Questionable Catering (Marrakesh): 1-06-4820382-02 Kill three targets with Consumed Poison as a Food Vendor. There are only two vials on the map, so you'll need to bring one. The routing is the trick here. Nakar fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Mar 10, 2017 |

Accident kill on Morgan, then cross the roof, sneak through the room with the recording crew, shuffle up the pipe, coin away security/crew from the corner bathroom, poison Cross. Exit back across the roof, take speedboat key from Room 208, exit via dock. If you avoid the main lobby you only need to shoot out two cameras this way and you can skip having to delete the evidence. I'm still finalizing the exit route back across but I think I should finish it tonight. I'll make a video of it later.

Exit back across the roof, take speedboat key from Room 208, exit via dock. This is basically what I did except the exit. Does the speedboat landing become not a trespassing zone if you have the key? I exited through the basement which requires another camera shot. Got caught trying to take out the guards camping it several times but eventually got past.

You can rush past. They'll warn you but if you exit immediately you shouldn't get caught. As to the route to avoid cameras, there are only three or four along this route even on Pro; just avoid the lobby and go upstairs via the restaurant entrance and stairs instead and cross the roof. The only new cameras of consequence are the two in the lobby and one on the roof in an area you have no reason to go to anyway. The others are there even on Normal, and are easily avoided or destroyed. The ones to look out for are just above the unlocked door to the roof, which you can dodge easily, around the corner on the other side where the two roadies are sleeping, on top of the other roof door near room 208, and in the basement overlooking the basement exit if you don't exit via the speedboat. If you're not trying for SO/SA, the best disguise for crossing the roof is probably Abel De Silva, as he's allowed on the band's side of the hotel and possibly the roof (I forget if it's only when Jordan leads you down there) and you can get his disguise without running into any cameras; it's super easy if you start in your suite.

If you can get the cake topper you can also ignore basically all of the band side by luring Jordan Cross down and smothering him. Only the roof cameras are an issue then. Getting the topper and placing it is hard to do Suit Only but it's not impossible even on Pro.

I know it's hard to say really, but does anyone have any idea how much incoming content is left? Mainly with regard to Elusive Targets. I just picked the game up a week ago and it's basically taken over my gaming time, I know there are rewards for completing ETs and it would be nice to get them but if they're just extra suits then it's not the end of the world.

I think at one point they claimed there would be enough ETs to allow people who got the game at retail launch to unlock all the suits, which means at least 15 or so (to unlock the Signature Suit w/ Gloves). They also usually release an Escalation or two a month and push popular community contracts as Featured Contracts. It may be slowing down a bit, but it seems like they'll keep doing it for a while. In the meantime, here's a contract that turned out pretty well, and I'm curious how much time can be shaved: On Walkabout (A House Built On Sand): 1-07-8951081-02 Kill three guards near the edges of the map with three different accidents.

Bugged out on my first attempt and I ended up waiting for Jordan to come down to the party for ten minutes before I gave up and reloaded. Also that roadie drinking a beer by the door is real trolly with his head-turns, making placing the topper a dice roll.

Once you have the distract down getting the topper from the kitchen is relatively trivial, but it's the room full of party dudes that's the problem. Still, if you manage to get the topper on there and hide in the crate you're golden and have the easiest escape.

Nakar posted:A method I saw a streamer use was to distract the beer guy and wait for him to return to his beer which apparently fixes his head turns or at least times it accurately where you can get to the cake and back to safety unspotted. Yeah getting the topper is trivial, its that party room. How do you distract the beer guy? He can only see you over by the cake itself, you can't peekaboo him from the window you climb into and if you toss something the whole room's gonna look over there. I guess you can still hop out in that case anyway.... whatever, just glad I don't have to do it again.

Or just turn on the radio in the bathroom. He'll immediately investigate (even from the balcony) and there's even a closet in there to stuff him into. Don't forget to turn off the radio so you don't stumble into the guy two rooms over coming to investigate on your way out.

Don't worry about the story, honestly. Play the different levels for their novelty, unlocks, and to familiarize yourself with maps before doing Elusive Targets. But if you want to play Paris 50 times in a row then go for it. There's so much stuff to do in each map.

That does work too, but you'll want to be careful dragging the body if the door to the food prep area is open. You also have to make sure to lure the enforcer, but as you said he's the one closest to the statue and should be the one who checks the sound. You also need to make sure to hide him and either take his weapon or leave it behind the statue. While not as many people path through that room as the other staircase (which has another bodyguard milling around near the cabinets and an Auction Staff member who goes up and down), there is one Auction Staff member who comes down and Dalia's assistant and her guard may come down through that area if you trigger her script. I'd say easier than that is knocking out the Auction Staff guy in the empty room since you don't even need to distract him and the bodyguards don't enforce, which is why I mentioned it. It's kind of one or the other; the CICADA Bodyguard disguise gets past frisks but has more enforcers, the Auction Staff goes almost totally unnoticed but gets frisked at the stairs.

I've done it maybe 50 times by this point and I've never had the food prep guys spot me dragging the body to the wardrobe. (you can just shut the door if you're paranoid) and the gun issue doesn't change much either. take it, leave it behind the statue, let it get spotted, whatever - the box is like 10m from the base of the stairs and the guard is right there so it really doesn't mess up any patterns if it does get found. It's very easy to make the enforcer guard be the one you choke out, you have to do some trickshots with the coin basically into the corner of the stairs to make the wrong guard investigate first. For no frisks and full access it's very worthwhile. With the AV tech start you're up there in seconds. Blasmeister fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Mar 11, 2017 |
