Contract TItle: Working Up A Sweat
Briefing:
Guard duty is tough when you’re working beneath the harsh Argentinian sun.
Lombardo and Sanchez are hard at work; roasting away in the unforgiving heat. They’re going to need something to help them cool off a bit.
Meanwhile, Martín and Villalba are slacking off. Give them something that’ll light a fire under their feet.
Remember, it’s hot out there; so make sure you do all your sweating inside just the one outfit, okay?
Brief Description:
This contract takes some inspiration from Checkerboard by Quine; one of the featured contracts from Hitman 2.
The player is required to eliminate four guards near the sniper lookout in the vineyard. They must eliminate the two ‘lazy’ guards using the nearby oil barrels, but the hard-working guards must be eliminated using an icicle (which can be found in the freezer in the production room).
Additionally, players are also required to remain in their starting disguise for the entirety of the mission. However, they are given the choice of which disguise to choose. The only starting disguise that is permitted to enter both the villa’s vineyard and the production floor is the Gaucho disguise, meaning players who choose this easier route will have to waste time running down to get the icicle. Players who wish to get the fastest times will need to use a disguise that starts them closer to the icicle, and then eliminate the targets while trespassing.
Players also need to keep in mind that Fire eliminations are noisy and will disrupt the patterns of the nearby guards. They must also be careful when firing shots to light the fires as it could potentially send the guards into alert mode; making it more difficult to secure an unnoticed kill with the icicle.
There are no restrictions beyond the ones already mentioned; leaving players with plenty of different approaches to experiment with.
