They've also revealed the Elusive Target suit unlock progression:



Am I the only one underwhelmed by this? It just looks like 'default suit BUT WITH GLOVES!!1!' for the locations. Stuff like the santa suit was pretty unique and I regret not getting it, but I don't think i'll mind particularly if I miss any of these.

It;s moronic but I'd be lying if I said I didn't need those suits "WIF GLOVES" if only because the Mission Results screen with 47 holstering his weapon shows him with gloves and I was stoked for that slightly cool modification to his look.

I'd like the Vampire Magician in this list.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I've started a kill everybody run in Sgail, and holy hell are there a lot of guards on the map. I don't know if there's any other method to deal with them beyond picking a closed area and standing your ground. I donned the suit of armor, waited in a storage area and just went Full Robocop on everybody who came through either door. I think I spent like 30 solid minutes shooting at three dozen or more guards. Here's the result:



And I think there's still at least that many guards still left on the map. It's funny that by total coincidence I picked the body-stacking room to kill them in. Either that or the guards just gave up trying to tote them anywhere else.

I like the masquerade suit with the mask. It makes 47 look like an old-timey villain or something, like Fantomas.

Well yeah, but on the plus side you can wear these outfits on any map, not just their native location.

And oh boy is Imperial Classic gonna get a workout from me. With all these clothing options, it's like The Sims but with murder.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.

AceOfFlames posted:

Those descriptions are copy pasted from the target Intel on the pause screen /mission briefing (just select the target on either and there will be a prompt for "view Intel"). Alma Reynard and Wazir Kale's profiles can even only be viewed once the game designates them as targets during their levels. And I thought I was kidding for saying I was a bigger lore nerd than you for reading those things earlier in the thread, lol.

my bad; I can't play the newest game so I couldn't tell, and the new bios are so differently written (and so pointlessly detailed and psychoanalytic) that I assumed they were internal documents.

Clown Bat is a fun weapon, but I wish 47 didn't put it down whenever I drag a body around or whatever.

I keep forgetting to pick it back up and then have to run back for it whenever I decide that the best thing to do is dress as a clown and hit people so confetti comes out.

have they made particular changes to the elusive targets setup? We can still restart as many times as we want until and unless we complete an objective or the deadline passes?

The 12 ET clear suit is The Undying's suit. Odds he'll be back? High.

Also the briefing for this ET is really comprehensive, they give a lot of tips for how to potentially approach it.

That's what the suits in season 1 were. The location suit with gloves. The other suits were for doing multiple ETs.

I had no idea you actually get unlocks like that for escalations, are there any other worthwhile rewards like that? I definitely would enjoy having a silenced sniper rifle ASAP so I think I'm going to do that one.

It's the same thing they did for the season 1 ETs. The real reward is that you can wear the gloved version to any map, while the non-gloved versions are mission specific. This means you can show up to a remote columbian village in a fancy masked tuxedo and nobody will bat an eye.

Like two weeks or something, don't sweat it too much.


Sininu posted:

The big thing is that you now only get one instead of two. This means all the spots where you could use them in "kill all targets within 10 seconds" escalations and such to get silent assassin are a lot harder.

The other thing is that you can no longer throw them beside a door and detonate them to open it, to open a door with a breaching charge you have to actually place it on the door itself. Usually not a problem, but I have seen a lot of speedrunners complaining about the change.

Sean Bean down

I knocked out everyone in the lab he tours, dressed as the head scientist, lured his guards away while he waited for me, knocked them out, gave him the grand tour and then BAM, pen to the eye

It was fun, I hope he returns. Make him a permanent target in a DLC map so I can hear Sean Bean brag about his immortality over and over (and then murder him)

Just killed Sean Bean. Silent assassin, though it took me a couple restarts because I got spotted trespassing or the like the first two times.

I went to the meeting dressed as a kronstadt engineer (simple matter to get the disguise from the one who's pootling about in the coat check room), attended the meeting, then went upstairs and used a sink in a storage cupboard to lure a bodyguard. Fresh disguise with full access. I found a picture of the target on the upper floor of the centre (in Knox's office with the aircon), and input it into the android in the room where he goes to meet Yu. Easy kill, though it took about 19 minutes all told.

They put a lot of effort into this one. Fun target.

Looking ahead, we’re already hard at work on our next update, 2.12, which we aim to release in December.

*Location Mastery trophies/achievements do not unlock after earning Mastery outside of that locations main campaign mission.
*The Kalmer-1 Tranquilizer gun loses ammo when reloading a save game.
*The ‘Autosave allowed’ icon cannot be toggled off.
*The new ‘homing’ ability of 47’s briefcase is not strong enough and does not target multiple NPCs.
*Certain NPCs can stagger when shot and get caught in specific walls.
*47’s shadow is missing on certain suits.
