I’m finally making consistent progress now. I love how the lack of save games and full loadout can spiral out of control, but it’s still pretty fun.
Just now I accidentaly bought a 30k lockpick, which was about all my money, but finding out it’s the persistent lockpick it was money well spent.
Then I accidentaly got spotted by a lookout in Chongqing’s lab, the evacuation was triggered and I just ran towards the suspects and decided to knock out one of them to see if it was the leader by change. I’d be busted if it wasn’t anyways. And yes, jackpot, it was the leader. Managed to finish this showdown by a thread
Was prompted to scan this car in Chongqing, outside the apartment building. Nothing seemed to happen, it just flashed blue. Is this related to the weird ET note?
You can easily bypass the frisk with the default NY start, just go to your left and wait for the guard at the counter to check some stuff behind him or talk to someone, sneak behind his back towards the door to the service corridor (it’s not locked), and enter the lobby from there
How does the collateral explosion kill objective work?
I’ve tried it with the remote explosive and the remote semtex, where I killed à target plus another individual as specified with one explosion but the objective completion didn’t pop.
This is just related to the main mission in Chongqing. For whatever reason, you can scan it and your intel will tell you “this car is owned by a Mr. Pritchard” (ICA Restaurant guy) which probably clues you in that he’s staying at that building, and well, you can infiltrate his room… not that it was hard to figure that out anyway…
There are different collateral prestige objectives, one of them requiring an accident and the other requiring an explosive so maybe you got the accident one and thought it was the explosive one? Last mission I did it I just threw some nitro at the target and a KO’d assassin and it worked fine :x
I’m not all alone in the slow approach then. That’s nice to know! For me personally, it just kind of defeats the purpose to aim at getting everything done as efficiently and quickly as possible… you can have a full weapons wall and finished safehouse, and then what? Sounds stressful to me, but of course I respect that people view things differently. I wanna savor this mode.
Regardless of that objective, I’m talking about if you don’t kill witnesses, it affects you in the next maps. So you have to decide whether you want to lose more money by killing the witnesses or have a harder challenge with more enforcers for the next map if you don’t. Basically this is about not playing blindly running around through trespassing areas, doing illegal things, etc etc.
I have left the mission many times having bought something in a case and exited with the case (and contents) in my hard, safely reaching the safehouse with the item.
I had an accident explosion collateral kill not work earlier. Fortunately I had another target left and propane tanked them and it registered but I think explosions are buggy right now and don’t always work.
Hopefully I’ll play that long to get there. Game is buggy. One of my campaigns was to blind a target. I did using the remote flash and the objective was checked. Then it wasn’t recognized in the scoring.
