I’m wondering if IO even intended for us to have access to that balcony. I kinda doubt it.

Last time I checked, a patch disabled the climb ladder prompt even on Kevin Rudd’s Contract.
There is no access into the mansion from the balcony, and there even is a blend in prompt on the railing, so I think they were intending for it to be usable.

I’ve noticed it’s apparently easier to leave things in (code and whatnot) then to remove it. So that might not actually be an indication of intent.
If you watch any video of the Siberia (Sniper) map where people are able to access it on foot, all the building doors have prompts, a lot of objects too (like weapons on the ground after a guard is taken out). All left in but never meant for us to interact with since it’s a Sniper mode map.
Just saying.

I’d say that the one thing indicating that the balcony indeed should be accessible is the fact that they bothered to put a sniper rifle w/suitcase in the mission. No point in having it if you can’t access a vantage point…

You don’t really need a vantage point to snipe though. #gitgud

If you want to snipe, you’ll find a way to snipe. It’s not the distance that counts, it’s the bullet in the head.

don’t worry my friend you can unlock it today in the afternoon
The only disappointment I have with it is that it doesn’t have the ergonomic grip.

I thought it was a little odd that the challenge requires you to complete it within the DGS escalation, rather than allowing you to do it in a contract on the DGS location. Could’ve been more fun/more of a puzzle that way. Oh well.
Eh, it’s just a re-skinned Silverballer, and these one-item challenges are usually easy, busy-work stuff.
I like how this can be completed in the 3 escalations levels as normal or contracts
