I’m confused what the point of Deterministic Mode is in Contracts Mode?

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.

this might be because we barely had any big substantial new things for hitman 3, but i love garden show. its a weird escalation/level hybrid which i think works surpringly well. looks great too 7/10

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

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.

Dartmoor garden show is really fun. I haven’t played a lot of Hitman besides the ETs but this event brought me back. It was even fun to rediscover Dartmoor all over again. No mission stories means that we have to discover a lot more but so far there has not been any scripted events I found, which is a shame.
I do have some wishes for it though:
- More starting points (+deterministic)
- All the targets available in deterministic (able to kill all without target penalty with them still visible on instinct)
Judges included as part of deterministic.Deterministic should be selected at any level or made to be separated in the menus. I don’t like to restart the escalation to replay Deterministic everytime.
It’s mostly minor points but I wish I don’t have to use Contracts mode to kill all 4 targets+judges without getting a penalty.
The red ones are confirmed to have already been ingame. I mistook deterministic to only be in level 1 when it can be completed at any level if I selectee it at level 1. Made it all the more better.
Really? That sounds really great! Was what I was going to write of I was on the forum an hour ago and not suffering any connection issues.
Anyways thanks for the help! Also I got a reply from an official IOI employee, neat!
I’m a bit disappointed that targets killed from previous levels do not appear in future ones in deterministic, but I can always play contracts for that.

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.
