Unbreakable or just reset ?

It makes complete sense to me why the ladder shortcuts would be reset. If you walk around the house, all of the access to the upper levels is removed. The pipes that used to be there are all gone too so they just cut off all ways to get to the second floor. The shortcuts had to go with that.

You’re saying the map is limited in this event? Shame

It is, but I think we expected it to be. Most of the interior of the house is inaccessible. I don’t think that’s all that bad and it certainly isn’t unprecedented. The Icon, House Built on Sand and Landslide all cut off access to parts of those maps so it’s just the way they do it I think.

I don’t know it anyone is struggling with the frog challenge, but in case, I’ll just leave it here:

One can be found in the French contestant’s garden, one is near the greenhouse area, a guard bent down and talks to it, one is near the speedboat exit and one is at the opposite shore where a guy skips rocks.

Deterministic mode looks like something the community could love! Modifying Escalations???

I have not unlocked it yet, but the description basically looks lie we will be able to edit the Escalation in terms of targets.

If I am right, that is VERY intriguing.

Re-read my question :wink:

Wait a min, is the suit not unlockable?? I don’t see it in the escalation rewards.

You unlock it after doing the escalation along with Deterministic mode.

I LOVE the new look of the level. It’s brilliantly designed and really brings Dartmoor to life. There are plenty of new kill opportunities and a bucket load of new NPCs, though it’s a shame that the majority of them are static. This should be pretty good for contracts mode nonetheless.

I also like the fact that they have kept some of the more memorable NPCs from the original mission in the level and moved them outside (ie the Lovers)

But more importantly, first time I played the level it gave me Lucy Phillips as a target, so that is an instant win in my book.

Edit: anyone found the speedboat key yet?

Quick question: Is DGS canon?

It’s on a table near the greenhouse. Very close to the original place.

Fair enough, but what I meant is that it is allowing us to edit this particular escalation. If we can edit and hopefully one day, create escalations, would that not be awesome?

Everything is canon - just a question of WHEN it takes place.

ex. 2016 Summer Bonus missions took place before the Sanguine Fashion Show but Patient Zero content was after Situs Inversus.

Not exactly sure when the H2 special assignments took place, but I believe it was within the main story timeframe.

After completing Level 1 in Deterministic Mode, levels 2 and 3 should be deterministic as well, including judges on Level 3. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I’ve been exploring for quite a while and I haven’t managed to get anyone on stage yet but I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, and it doesn’t seem scripted. Maybe some way to declare a winner? I’m having fun trying to work it out. Feels like a whole new level so far, which is really cool.

The one place I didn’t check of course! :sweat_smile: thanks!

you are correct, but this is not a new map. We are already seeing alterations to existing maps and they have never had an issue doing that.
