Just picked up this game in the sale, and man it's good. I played the Paris mission like 3 times already, I should probably carry on with the story.

I threw a coin in the fountain at the start of the Paris mission because I thought it'd be pretty funny, and I unlocked a challenge. This game  EDIT: Oh yeah, I also have a helpful tip. If you want to expose electrical wires in a puddle, make sure you aren't standing in that puddle when doing so. Ask me how I know

Is there a briefcase sniper rifle in this game? It's kinda hard to go unnoticed while you're carrying a sniper rifle on your back.

What's this talk about fire extinguishers? I only use them to bop people in the head with, am I missing something? EDIT: Also I love how this game steers you in a direction without giant pop ups or whatever. I just overheard two guards talking about how they found a dead rat in the basement so that must mean the rat poison is working. Great, now I know where to find poison if I need it! By the way, I found it hilarious how in the World of Tomorrow mission, if you use the expired tomato sauce to cook spaghetti, Silvio Caruso loves it and compliments the cook for finally finding the family recipe. The game is full of little touches like this

Ugh, playing through the story and I have to say, Bangkok is the worst level so far. Stupid hotel is a maze, cameras and security everywhere and I just don't see as many options as I did the previous levels.

Lobok posted:Hokkaido is a bad-rear end Bond level and it's the most graphically gorgeous along with Sapienza. Yeah I'll give you that, it's beautiful. First time I walked in the main entrance and saw butterflies flying around I said whoa. I'll just have to play it some more to get a feel of it, because right now it doesn't click like the previous levels did.

Welp, finished the campaign. Now to check out some of those contracts and elusive targets etc. Great game, looking forward to season 2. Gotta say Sapienza is my favorite level I think. Just the atmosphere of the place is amazing.

Discendo Vox posted:Seriously, the problem with designing actually interesting escalations textually is The problem is that there's no reason whatsoever to 'textually design escalations'. It's not like someone from IOI is going to read this thread and offer you a job as idea guy. Anyway, something I was wondering. Is there any difference between the revolvers you can pick? I mean, besides a silencer, that's obvious. But what's the difference between the silverballer and those other guns? I always pick the silverballer because ~nostalgia~.

How exactly should I do the Paris escalation mission were I have to have a pistol equipped at all times and I can't wear a security guard outfit? I have the feeling I'm missing something because right now it seems impossible.

Discendo Vox posted:Adrian Eclipse? What's giving you trouble? Yes. I'm just so used to play it safe that walking around with a pistol at all times gives me trouble. But I guess Kuiperdolin posted:You can hide it for up to 7 seconds so hop from safe spot to safe spot. This is the answer. I'll see what route I can find.

Nakar posted:Go down to the bottom level under the shops and near a dumpster is a halfassed repaired wall. That can be blown up and it leads directly into the lab. If you're in the lab, go between the break/camera building and the main lab and around the rocks and crates is the other side. There's a propane tank on the inside of the lab right nearby which you can shoot to blast open the wall and save yourself an explosive. Oh wow, I didn't know that was possible. Are there other levels where you can blow up walls to gain entrance to special places? EDIT: speaking of explosives, I picked up the explosive golf ball in the ICA safehouse and everybody seems to realise that I'm carrying an explosive? Even though it looks like a normal golf ball.

Nakar posted:Note that the "figure out the sniper's position and rush them" routine only seems to kick in for shots on people. If you want to save yourself a time buffer, shooting for an accident kill before taking shots on other targets can save time. If you're going full Sniper Assassin, as MeatwadIsGod said you have to shoot fast and then leave the area. Once you're far enough away from the position guards will no longer be suspicious of you. You can notice this on Paris especially: Snipe Dalia and Viktor from the barge and guards will rush toward the underground dock area. It seems crazy but the only way to get out of that is to run and get up the stairs into the garden before they reach them. Then just dash off in another direction and their suspicion pips will vanish because they're specifically looking for a person in the area where the sniper shot came from. There's plenty of time to snipe them, get off the barge and into the helicopter without getting spotted. At least there was the couple of times I did it.

StrixNebulosa posted:Colorado is frustrating because there's not much to do in it that's particularly fun or funny, but it's hiding away an unlock that I really want. It's really easy. Just grab the outfit that's in the moving truck in front of the house and you can walk right in. For the level of the escalation where you can't wear that disguise, walk to the left corner of the house (where that hacker dude gets outside and has a smoke) and there's an open window there. When the guards aren't looking, sneak in through that.

I've tried some escalation missions and they're actually really cool. I've discovered whole new areas in some levels. I just spent like 10 minutes running around in Sapienza trying to find a sabre. I ended up wearing a hippie outfit and carrying a big joint instead. I also fired a cannon at a sailboat  And since discovering all that cool stuff, I'm wondering if I can use that to actually kill targets. I've said it before, but this game is awesome.

I actually like the escalation missions because I don't care about getting SA in them. It seems impossible too in some cases, especially those with the 'no pacification' restrictions. Just run in, pop some heads, don't even hide the bodies and get out in the ensuing confusion. Get it done, fast

where the red fern gropes posted:what ways are there to outsource your kills? the ones that come to mind are giving info + drugs to the hokkaido surgeon, and talking to the hotel manager while wearing the pest control disguise in bangkok Give the DNA virus to Caruso's assistent probably? But then you created a world where the DNA virus actually exists, making hitmen obsolete, so that'd be stupid. Or maybe the one in Colorado where you convince bomberdude that the latest member of his rebel army really is a FBI mole?

Been playing some Professional mode in Paris. That sure is challenging. Seems like I have to forget everything I know about the map. I'm like: "huh, where's this item?" "Huh, since when are those guards there?" all the time. It's fun, but I doubt I'll master everything in professional mode.

I never try for a SO for my first run. How can you explore different areas if you have to be careful to never get spotted? Hell, most of the times I don't even get SA in the first run. I try to not look too much at all the challenges, since I find they sort of push you in a general direction. It's more fun if you stumble across them yourself.

Nakar posted:Here's a very silly one, based on an old featured contract with a similar theme: I don't know Hokkaido that well, but the trick is probably to dump him in some water afterwards? Does that count as drowning? I know if you dump people in the Seine, you get the message that they're dead, but I've never seen a pop up say anything about drowning I think.
