Enjoyed these. Took me longer that I’d like to mention to work out the Striker tactic. Very rare to be used in a contract. Think I got the Bullet Rain one right: started outside, took out the two downstairs first then the two up top. No internal stairs used.
Always feels a bit cheap to use a double taser but it gets the job done!
Ps nice work on the Roulette Rivals. Caught the last bit of your Miami run. More I watch the matchups the more I wish I’d entered now.
FFS, for Bullet Rain I thought he meant don’t even go upstairs at all. I stayed in the showroom for all the kills, SO style. LOL. Now I’ll use the pipe.
So, I was making a hostile disguise contract in Dubai and noticed that the shortcuts are locked in contract creation. Why IOI, why?! Pissing me off so much.
It’s possible they do that for people that haven’t unlocked the shortcuts yet. But that is a good question. Is it intentional or an oversight?
Then again, the same could be said about requiring a particular weapon that can only be obtained with $ DLC. But they allow contracts to be made with said $ items.
Yeah, it must be worse for those who wanted to put a timer. But seriously, IOI should fix this.
No, it applies to everyone. I have all my shortcuts unlocked across all levels.
At least that’s in the contract creator’s control, and no good contract creator will ever use those weapons in their contract. While for the shortcuts, that’s completely in IOI’s hand.
I noticed this yesterday, it’s a real pain. In my case, taking the long way around is going to be difficult because I need the No Pacifications complication as well
Ooh, that’s my bad then. I misunderstood what you meant. Tbh, I can’t remember the last time I actually used the stairs in that building to get up top so the pipe was just my natural route!
I do like these ones with extra complications. Just a shame that IOI don’t care about the contract creation enough to improve it and add more to it so we can do things like this as part of it. So much wasted potential.
To make sure the contract is playable for those who have no shortcuts unlocked? I highly doubt it, since there are many many other ways to make contracts that require existing mastery.
There is the assumption that shortcuts being open is tied to their challenges being done. And as the creation mode has deactivated challenges, the shortcuts are closed too. Another indication that this is true is that in offline mode you also lack open shortcuts while having mastery.
Made kind of a puzzle contract. Based on a discovery I made recently. If you find out how to do this, the contract will be very speedrun friendly (I guess, I’m not really a speedrunner).
Only one I always find an issue for speed running is Frank. He’s a super enforcer, and doesn’t really go anywhere secluded very often. Will be all about timing him right and the rest should fall in to place.
You’re right about Frank. But I wanted to be at least one target to be a bigger challenge. Maybe could have done him with an electrocution kill as it’s easier to set up.
