IO is really just in it to make us all believe in ourselves and reach our full potential.
Youâre just going to grind through the 5 prestige levels, get a few trophies that only you will ever see, then eventually you will still end up with a safehouse fully stocked with weapons and several million merces and no way to spend it.
They just need to come up with a better way to extend the gameplay and money system other than ripping off all your stuff.
Hmm. Iâm mastery 61 and I have yet to fill the wall and or briefcases cuz I donât altF4. I just play for fun. I donât mind dying. Itâs just another way to build back up. So Iâm wondering if Iâll ever prestige level up. lol
Considering the other complaints Iâve seen on here pertaining to Hardcore mode, that opinion is very much in the minority.
Personally my stance is that the prestige system is a fine enough system, but a bit strange to add now. Feels like a stopgap solution, rather than a true fix of the Mercesâ economy.

So, did anyone find coin in rotation already? Did they add it?
Maybe they shouldâve reset EVERYTHING including Mastery, Safe House unlocks, and deducted XP score because thereâs no real way to know how who or how many mightâve benefited from Alt-F4 either deliberately or accidentally so a cold hard restart is better now that the Alt-F4 exploit has been removed with extreme prejudice.
Itâs unfortunate they canât simply identify only those who used Alt-F4 and reset only them.
Or how about, get rid of that method and just allow a normal mission restart so long as an objective isnât completed yet like ETs. The strictness of Freelancerâs one-and-done design combined with all the objectives for proper completion sap all the fun from it.
They couldâve at least made it so the Bruiser Suit wouldnât unlock retroactively so anyone that beat Hardcore would have to redo it this time without the possibility of Alt-F4.
This has probably been discovered before I have, but disconnecting your internet and then alt-f4 works as a workaround to the fix. This was done through an alerted territory. All items/gear and progress hasnât been lost insofar.
Alt-f4Bros, we are so fucking back. May your vaunted progress be forever kino.
Another annoying step to take, but necessary.
With them adding non-AltF4 protection I wonder what happens if the game actually crashes.
This will be developersâ fault, not the playersâ and still the latter will be punished.

A few look around in the safehouse :
The target shooting now have the picture in picture when shot. Before it appeared only when the support was shot.
I wonder if itâs related to the still elusive shooting range easter egg.
But
I donât know if itâs the case for everyone, but for me the weapons lost the unlimited capacity in the shooting range. They have the standard amount of ammo (of 35 for the siverballer). @Travis_IOI this might be unintentional, and worth a look.
Havenât gone in mission yet, but no sign of the coin yet (and I had the supply crate to open, it was empty)
nap time
Good one, but wonât work for me as Iâm playing remotely ![]()
Alternate Function Four
When playing Freelancer, quitting the game through the menu or by the use of Alt+F4 on keyboard will result in a Mission Failed status upon restarting the game.

New Update rips the good ol Alt + F4
Better a hundred innocent players suffer then one cheater to get away with it.
