Hopefully we have it rolled out for Xbox before close of play tomorrow, fingers crossed! :crossed_fingers:t2:

If not, hopefully it will be next week :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m sorry you are frustrated.
It’s on xbox’s verification process as it slower, and it is not iois fault. (although this hotfix shouldn’t have needed to exist) This is just how it is for hotfixes sadly.:purple_heart:

I haven’t touched hitman since i heard the bug crashes freelancer or something. So did the patch fix the game? I’m waiting patiently to play again.

In the wake of the Ancestral Pistol being fixed for Xbox, I need some advice on how to proceed in Freelancer:

  • My last three challenges until 100% completion are Prestige 10, Top Dog, and GOAT, the latter two taking arguably longest to complete out of the entire challenge set. For those two, I’m a little over 75% done.
  • Currently just need the pistol to move on to Prestige 9.
  • In the meantime, for the past week or so waiting for the fix, I was basically speeding through Syndicates and Campaigns just to make a dent in Top Dog and GOAT (ignoring Prestige objectives, relying on long-distance kills, getting in then out, intentionally failing levels to knock one off the board, etc.)
  • I’m at a million merces, and ready to finally collect the pistol. But for expediency, should I continue to grind for Top Dog or GOAT as I’ve been doing, or smash that laptop for Prestige 9, (resetting everything), and work towards Prestige 10?

Honestly in your place I’d just activate prestige 10 and work on collecting everything back, Top Dog just takes forever but collecting everything just takes like 3-4 campaigns, so by the time you have everything back you’d still be trying to get Top Dog. You can still speedrun through everything, the only things you really need for Freelancer are a silenced sniper and a silenced handgun / SMG.
