Oh great, some new contracts to look forward to…in about a week’s time after I finish these work shifts!
Hope between then and now, people can share their cool runs and thoughts! Thank you for the thread.

Still shitty contracts

I’ve played a few of them already. They seem to be really easy. Maybe too easy for most players. What I liked about them is that they want me to try again and be faster.

So far, all the briefings I’ve read are like; This post was made by forum user Tetrafish_21.

Yeah the briefings are pretty awful, they feel like they were written by an AI that values commas way too much :x
(The contracts themselves were decent though, although I haven’t played them all yet)

So who made the contracts? Who selected them? Is this IO/Combatglue?
Any info for those of us who haven’t signed into the game and looked at them all yet?

If there’s one aspect of this game I’m never gonna be super critical of, it’s individual featured contracts. Because I’ve had my own contracts featured, and I wouldn’t want people to call them bad or shitty. Everyone has different tastes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
From the roadmap page:
We’re delighted to welcome longtime HITMAN fan Josthin to our Featured Contracts program with his new batch, “The Bandit.” A seasoned player since Blood Money, he has spent years refining his contract skills and finally felt ready to join the ranks of Featured creators.
Creators involved:
Josthin
Fe2O3 T
Il Lime ll
Palinure
Thornicroft

From the briefings, I think they were all co-created by Josthin as well. I assume The Bandits might be a name for this group of players, like with our Starducks batch.
Although in the roadmap it was “The Bandit”, singular, now it’s plural. Curious.

The only name I recognize from this batch is @Fe2o31 who used to make SONKOs back in the day, other than FE I don’t know any of them

Finished this batch today. Overall a solid batch.
The only negative is that the contracts relied heavily on emetics (which seems to be a common theme in most featured contracts not just this batch).
This was apparent in Impostors, Feather Fumble, Leaf it to Me, and You Snooze, You Loose. (I’m sure there are other ways of doing them)
Also I noticed on The Delivery Fee in Berlin that the guard targets would just ignore tasers either thrown or placed in-front of them. I had never seen that before.
I’d give the batch a 7/10. Solid

Can you at least tell a little bit about everyone else or something? Because at least I am completely clueless
i don’t know any of them … Josthin reached out to me a while back to see if i wanted to collaborate on some potential FCs … we discussed a few ideas, and he used them … he never gave me any indication of who the others were …

Where did Josthin even contacted you? Never even seen their name anywhere, I thought they are your rl friends or something lol
An OK batch. I did quite enjoy Leaf it to Me and Mosquito Masher.

I quite liked Leaf It To Me and You Snooze, although I seemed a bit far from any exit on that one, idk how people are doing it in a minute. I did not care for Impostors much, that was my least favourite of the bunch.
Not like it’s the worst batch in the world, but it wasn’t the most compelling either imo; none really stood out for me. They didn’t make me want to grind or replay all that much. I mostly just took my time and focused on getting SA. Overall, they’re fine, maybe I’ll come back to them at some point.
Having said that I did get a half decent run on White I Presume.
