Freelancer - General Discussion

That’s an overly pedantic nitpick, but I already noticed two instances of taking down a syndicate leader, only to return to the safehouse and notice the exact same leader codename on one of the fresh contract books. And the codenames in general seem to repeat a lot outside of that. If Freelancer gets some post-launch content updates, expanding codenames list could be one of the smaller changes I’d really like. Especially that I can imagine it not being super difficult to do.

Perfect Shooter objective missing

[TheChicken]

Very strange. Maybe your connection messed up briefly and it needed some time to add it in?

I’ve had a couple connection issues this past weekend, where I’d spawn on a map for a few seconds with no target listed, or only one optional objective active, though it usually corrects itself quickly.

Though once I got disconnected just before killing a target, and when i got to the Exit, I didn’t want to leave because the game hadn’t verified the Target was dead yet…
It resolved itself within a minute though, thankfully.

RIP your frames (at least if you try and use instinct on those weapons, the frames definitely dip, but PC might have it a bit better?)

I’m around half done on the wall inventories and my frames are getting slightly jarred when I have all those weapons in my view I’m on Series X so we’ll have to see what it is like for other people on different platforms. Congrats on your achievement though!

Well… There is a mod for the remote emetic device that fixes this situation. Perhaps the mod author of that (or anybody, really) could apply such a fix to the explosive phone, flash phone, snail, (maybe others)… Unless someone wanted to keep an NPC busy with (one of these items).

Or maybe IO could, you know, fix these themselves?

@47Agent

ioi straight up recolored the existing pigeon model yellow and put it in a cage like “it’s a canary!”

Jesus, so they´re making reskins of animals now as well?? (I like the nod too though.)

Yeah, I’d like to have the set of contracts that were featured in the original video. I was looking forward to tackling them.

[Drodriguezwdsc]

Cool, that’s what I figured. I’ve been spamming campaigns in New York and robbing the vault for quite a bit of cash as much as possible. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks!

[Drodriguezwdsc]

Yeah, someone said I might get it from a random reward box or buy it from a vendor. So I’m crossing my fingers. Such a bonehead move on my part.

[Courier6]

Yeah I noticed that too, had the same thing happen with some electrocution kills too. I’m sure it will be fixed or at least more stable in the next update

[SgtAvalanche]

The shooting range is good, but I kinda wish there was also a punching bag dummy where we can try out our melee weapons on it

[Vincent]

Maybe in future updates ioi will add new kind of contracts like shown in the alpha videos or something else for keeping this game mode fresh, I’m really really hoping for this because I like this game mode a lot.

@schatenjager

except that stupid coin, of course.

I’m in the same situation and that one empty slot is bugging me. I have no clue how it gets obtained at this point.

[Tetrafish_21]

One good reason to almost throw SA out the window… I tried a ‘Timed’ Prestigious Objective. A couple of the targets were out in the open and not secluded. One I’m sure never would’ve left their seat in the Gelato shop (Sapienza). Had I gone the extra steps to get them isolated - I never would’ve finished within the time limit. So bodies found was an after thought.

[BlobSponge]

Just for clarity, is it intended that starting from Level 3, the stashed crates are not visible on the big map?
Started my first mission on Level 3 difficulty and the stashed crates only appear on the minimap, not the big one in menu.

@Faiz51

From your experience, what is the difference between hardcore & normal difficulty in term of rewards?

It’s awful, the Merces was not noticeable in the slightest, although at the time I was at 900k so nothing looked substantial until I completed the campaign and got 50k.

Same goes for XP - It’s a slight increase when you do flawless runs (all objectives) which goes from 2500 XP to 4000 XP

Its only worth the challenge.

[Billy_Baldwin]

I wonder what’s the point of coins and expensive collector coins when you have the ultimate free tool: the BANANA!

[thrison]

All the complaints after the CTT about the GOAT challenge, but it seems everyone overlooked the one for 100 campaigns (which from memory is untouched from the CTT). I’m already about 25% done for GOAT, but the other one I’m only at 11%.

That’s going to be the real killer.

[Tetrafish_21]

A rating poll might be nice to have for the Prestige Objectives. The changing disguises within a time limit seems to be the one with the most hassle (so it could be the lowest), then the hiding with a time limit… All the way up to playing with an actual SA Rating (could be the highest). But I don’t know all of the different Prestige Objectives.

Right, over the past few days, I got round to creating a Freelancer-specific subpage for Hitman 3’s own TV Tropes page, let me know if there’s anything wrong or anything I can add. Everything is tropeable =)
