Seems they fixed/changed/whatever-you-want-to-call-it the timer when you select Time Trial on a Showdown. Done a few of those today and the timer always started at ten minutes compared to the previous 90-120 seconds.

So it doesnât scale with the number of targets anymore? This is kind of a weird change though, 10 minutes is plenty enough to eliminate 4 targets so itâs probably the easiest timed objective now :x
A key word in my post was âShowdownâ.

Just noticed Iâve still got the collectors coin & lockpick post-prestige. Seems like a bug but Iâll take it!

Iâm happy they fixed the fridge in the Safehouse.
Throwing at Camera is a great addition too. Something I have wanted for a while.

Havenât got to playing the Prestige levels yet, but how do you âadvanceâ a prestige level exactly?

FYI (unless it was changed): While the Kalmer sedative DOES override the lethal poison, it DOES NOT eliminate it. That target WILL die once a guard revives them.
Basically if you wouldâve just left and waited by an exit, a guard wouldâve eventually revived the target and then once awake, the target wouldâve went right into the OVERLY DRAMATIC (lolz) poison/death animation.
Not much help now⌠but for future reference for delayed kills.

Thereâs a laptop on the table that can be activated when your weapon wall is full. All your gear & merces vanish in exchange for +1 prestige level. It basically resets the game so you can build up again, only your XP/merces grow faster with each level so it doesnât take as long. The current level is shown on a trophy shelf somewhere in the basement.

For those that own one (or both) of the weapon pack DLCs, does it also require them to have those too, or just the base game items?

So it was all for nothing. RAAAAGE.
âŚActually though, scraping a win from the jaws of defeat did make the conclusion to the campaign that much sweeter

How do I turn off the camera HUD for the Showdowns in the new patch? I donât see it in settings or anywhere.
This is for the camera, not the assassin, alert lookout etc.
Am I being blind?
Itâs not a global setting. When you take a picture, thereâs a "Toggle Viewfinder prompt in the lower left-hand corner thatâll let you turn it on and off while youâre examining that picture. (On PlayStation, itâs the triangle button.)

Was looking for that. Thanks.
On the note of the camera : the detection of the suspects (so the ability to actually take the photos, and to toggle them as prime or non-suspect) as been much improved.
I remember having to fiddle around a lot to be able to do that before, when it even worked at all. It was a bit infuriating then to be honest. Having the suspect dead center, and still having to follow them around in first person because I couldnât even take the photo and needed those to see for tattoos and hearings. Made me walk into lookouts multiple time.
Or I got lucky on my campaign tonight.
Still havenât prestige. Will do tomorrow. I just wanted to start again calmly after two month of leaving the game. Strangely enough, it feels easier now. Or at least with more breathing room. But I think itâs not the game, but me well rested.
(I also wanted to check if the coin was anywhere. No, like starting to be insultingly so, no)

Currently doing prestige. Iâm not sure if itâs just me, but it doesnât really feel like prestige is doing much. Iâm getting 350M base pay for my missions now but I forgot what the default is. The rewards from objectives are unaffected and if the awards from vaults and couriers are changed I canât tell. If Iâm just making 50-100M extra per mission then prestige is just going to be way too grindy for my taste.

In one playthrough, some random civilian that spotted me doing something illegal was endlessly trying to report me to a supplier because he happened to be a guard.

This is wrong. Your target can see you before you kill them as long as nobody else saw you. Did that happen?
I just started playing Free lancer and I am a new Hitman player in general. I honestly really like this mode. I have learned a lot about playing hitman by watching Atrioc and some of the other speed runners etc. I am not good enough at this game to not die constantly. So in freelancer I immediately dump everything. Start each level with stethoscope and see how it goes. Playing with loud firearms, riskier submissions, and generally sneaking around more. In some ways its more fun than the regular game.
Anyways, just wanted to say I was enjoying the mode. IOI sent out an email with a new suit for any campaign completed on hardcore modeâŚoofâŚI dunno if I could do it yet

Wait what? You can throw items at cameras again to destroy them?
Not sure why they removed that feature in 2016. It helps with perfect shooter.
