Just finished my first "successful" run of Miami where I tailed the blackmailer to the meeting with Sierra so I could figure out where it was. Then I pushed her to her death right as she was about to kill the blackmailer. Then I dressed as Ted Mendez and threw an android arm at Robert and snapped his neck in full view of his scientists and bodyguards in the PALLAS demo room. Running out of the level under a hail of gunfire while that "mission accomplished" music plays is always hilarious.

Oh whoops, the meaty bone unlock is for the Colombia mission and not... Whittleton Creek. For some reason I had it in my head that I had to hit Lucas with it, and I was all proud of myself for bonking his guard over the back of the head silently in the middle of the sidewalk, hitting Lucas over the head and then breaking his neck without a single person seeing me. Well, I mean I guess that is something to be proud of. e: I also discovered that you completely break the muffin stand worker AI by knocking out the Muffin Murder Lady (I'm bad with names in this game). The muffin stand guys just kept going "Hey, are we running low on muffins?" "Yeah, I should go talk to Muffin Murder Lady" "Hey, are we running low on muffins?" etc. Made getting the lawyer disguise a pain in the rear end so I didn't bother.

I think it's been said but it's wild how elaborate some of the setups are for kills that aren't even covered in "mission stories". Like the chili shot thing in miami is several degrees more complicated than any mission story stuff and it's a loving awesome kill on top of that

Sometimes the scripting just breaks like that. I was trying to get Knox killed by the android so I ran out of the room to find his picture. As he was leaving, I bumped into him and he said he would meet me in the demo room. Well I get to the demo room and que the engineer repeatedly calling Knox on the phone saying I was ready for the demonstration. I did see a neat detail of every time the engineer called him I could see Knox picking up his phone through instinct. I don't think he appreciated being called every 3 seconds however. I also had the tattoo artist scripting break where instead of sitting down in the chair he just stood their drinking from the glass forever. Good thing I keep multiple saves.

I love that it's canon that 47 is unmatched when it comes to setting up Rube Golbergian assassinations to the point where the ICA is kind of fed up with his antics for making them all look bad. And he and Diana are constantly trying to outdo themselves.

I thought Morgan had always gone to that trashcan? I can't remember ever getting him to go to the bathroom. Maybe he does it if he gets poisoned from the far right dishes? In any event, if you just want to drown him you can do so with the suite tour opportunity. As for the trashcan, look up and you'll see what it's there for. Now Cross- he's definitely bugged somehow in Hitman 2. I've twice seen him come in to the room where the recording's playing and immediately leave, and another time I set up a poisoned birthday cake and walked away only to later see him walking back upstairs alive. gently caress Bangkok, it's rapidly working on overtaking Colorado for least favorite level.

I don't hate Bangkok at all but it's definitely held back by guard placement and restricted areas when it's a really cool level design in spite of that. I still had fun running through it a couple times but I know that in Hitman 2 it's going to be at the bottom with Colorado on "last level I max out mastery on" edit: and having them side by side makes me really appreciate how good the Hitman 2 levels are compared to season 1. And season 1 was really good -- it's just that all the levels in 2 improve on them in like, every way. goferchan fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Nov 19, 2018 |

Did I miss something or is it heavily implied there should be a dog present in Hawkes Bay? I assume the dog was removed to get rid of any implications of animal cruelty and/or they couldn’t get the AI right.

He walks away all smug, so I'm like "Just.. bhuh, what? Where the gently caress do you think you're going?" and just pick up a goddamn assault rifle and blow him away along with all three of his bodyguards. Then I also climb down the elevator shaft. If you lure him into the leftmost corner near the edge (he will follow you if you walk away) and push him off, he will fall in a cement pit and his body is not found.

Learning To Fly (Sgail): 1-21-1189001-02 TARGETS: Two of the guards on the cliffs behind the effigy ceremony. Any Method but Suit required. COMPLICATIONS: Hide All Bodies, No Disguise Changes, No Pacifications, Required Exit (Helicopter). NOTES: This is much easier than it looks, even from the default start with default loadout. Getting out is the only hard part.

Corpse pile eruption! Even if there's still not really any incentive to going loud, I appreciate the grenades and how you can ambush targets and their guards with them. Got Zoe with a flash while she was fleeing with all her dudes and wiped them out with a Dak Covert. More direct approaches are satisfying after doing all the cute poo poo.

Can't be sure but it feels like they've rebalanced mastery compared to season 1. I'm sticking to Miami and have a lot of challenges and feats completed, including silly ones. Got all story kills and stuff like Versatile Killer (the one that requires 4 classic murder ways, and I think most of them are not in stories) but I'm still at 15 lvl of mastery. In season 1 it felt like I'm at 20 lvl before I know all special ways of killing the target. I got 20 lvl for all levels except Colorado and I only feel like I've really mastered Paris and Sapienza, Hokkaido still has some mysteries. I like it.

There seem to be a lot of bugs but they're the good kind of bugs which are just funny rather than game breaking. So far I've got either Alma or her husband regularly levitating above their bed in Hawke's Bay, the enforcer on the top level of the Colorado mansion consistently no-clipping through the ceiling and calmly continuing his patrol up on the roof, and another guy in Colorado going to drag a body bag but instead stopping at the last minute and moonwalking out of the area.

Oh my god, a DLC level set during the Antarctic winter that is basically The Thing but with a tall bald man with a knack for disguise instead of a shape shifting alien would be perfect. Has anyone got a reliable method for taking out Sierra Knox without a disguise? Trying to get SASO out of the way early. I can take out Robert no problem by clambering up the drainpipe to the satellite dish, shooting the laptop, distracting his bodyguard with a well placed gun, then knocking him out and flinging his body off the roof but I haven't found a reliable way to tackle Sierra. The first run I did I managed to fling a propane flask onto the track then shoot it as she passed but I've tried it a ton of times since and just can't figure out how I did it. Every other option I've found either requires a specific outfit to set up or seems to need a crazy amount of luck.

Sierra is quite possibly the easiest SASO kill in the game. (Only competition being poisoning Ken Morgan or General Zaydan) Step out onto the bridge over the track right next to the satellite balcony you're killing Robert on. Look down onto the track. Pump a few pistol shots from your silverballer into her car until she crashes. That's literally all there is to it. She's a bit hard to hit, but you can just wait for her to come around again, nobody will notice. Bakanogami fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Nov 19, 2018 |

Holistic Detective posted:Has anyone got a reliable method for taking out Sierra Knox without a disguise? I've got a couple. [spoiler]Can confirm this one, but with a lockpick it's pretty easy to sneak through the main stands and loop around the toilet area to her private room above her team's party area. The back isn't guarded and the two bodyguards have easy to clock routines allowing you to knock them out and dump them outside. Then, when the race is over you can separate her PA and then her easily for the kill. The second one is poisoning her IV bag and the lethal syringe is easy to pick up too, saving some inventory space. There's a good gap between the dude taking a leak where you can sneak in behind the doctor and inject it. The only trouble might be getting the dude who is pissing to leave... I've seen youtubers overflow the sink behind the curtains to help him go, but when I did it I had to overflow the sink in the room with him. You can poison her IV bag I did SASO with the first method. That definitely works.

It's fairly easy to sabotage the pyro in your suit, but doesn't Moses Lee win the race if you don't interfere somehow? To make Sierra win afaik you have to disqualify him as a race marshal, sabotage his car as a mechanic, or make him crash, all of which would fail SASO.

If you can sabotage the dish then you can just push Knox onto the track as he goes to fix it and Sierra is coming round to get them both at the same time. Dunno if that happens if you shoot it rather than using the dongle but if not then I guess you have to sneak in and grab the dongle which is a bit tougher.

Yeah, I did manage to do that, but she doesn't go to the podium unless the other guy loses which I've only managed to do using the race marshall disguise. Didn't know you could just straight up shoot her. I had assumed a car riddled with bullet holes would count against SA. Edit: I did see the satellite dish method but he doesn't seem to go to the edge at least when I shot the laptop. Not sure if it's the shooting or a timing thing. I did wonder about whether manually dumping him over would do it too but getting the timing right would be tough if you can.

Shooting the laptop just makes him look at it, rage for a minute or two and then gently caress off. But with some coin shenanigans you can distract his guard in the storeroom. Also if sniping her car counts as an accidental kill I imagine you could do that for a SASO run too.

I presume bullet holes on the car would be overlooked in the case of the car crashing and exploding, at least until after the race. It's kind of the same thing as stuffing a body into a closet. They're going to find the body eventually, they just aren't until 47 is long gone. And yeah, if the laptop is shut down with the dongle, he'll turn it back on, then stand at the edge and be like "Hey, that's my daughter's car!" all excited. That voice line's the cue for the challenge. It's done in a little cutscene where 47 gives him a lively kick to make it all the way to the track. If you just dump him he slides down the building to the bit by the track, not on it. By contrast, if you shoot the laptop, he gives up and goes back inside without dawdling at the side of the balcony. Drunken Baker posted:But with some coin shenanigans you can distract his guard in the storeroom. Rather than coin or bullet impact shenanigans to distract the guard, I feel like the easiest way is just to shoot the laptop and drop your pistol in the storeroom before they arrive. Knox will order his bodyguard to move it, and while the gun box is very close, it's still more than enough time to pacify and dump Knox on the balcony.

I played the Sniper Assassin gamemode for a bit of fun but I found it to be really frustrating. I like the little things like shooting guards into a pond or bush to hide the body and kill them at the same time to be neat, but I really don't like timed missions and prefer to take my sweet time to do things. Also I can't separate the guy who gets out the limo from his daughter. I've watched some YouTube videos where people shoot the car to get him to stop and investigate but whenever I do it either his daughter sees me kill him or the limo driver does. After about a dozen attempts I though 'gently caress it' and just went back to the regular game.

Bakanogami posted:gently caress Bangkok, it's rapidly working on overtaking Colorado for least favorite level. Bangkok's problem, in my view, is that you have a really limited number of ways to get to Jordan Cross, especially if you're doing SASO or Sniper. There are, as far as I know, only two ways to get to the top floor, one of which is nearly impossible with suit only since its a heavily guarded staircase, and the other with a rather frustrating number of npc's who can spot you. And if you want to snipe him without luring him to the lobby or cake, there's a two second window of opportunity from the opposite penthouse and thats it. Colorado at least allows for a lot of flexibility with any of the targets. Compare that with Mumbai, where even with a suit I can approach Vanya Shaw from like six or seven different angles and be able to take her out. Yesterday I barely infiltrated the train yard at all and shot her through a dirty piece of glass while standing on a beachside shipping container.
