Hiding the lookout worked for me to get the objective checked. Also hiding lookouts and assassins gives extra XP
Are all the maps not being used or does the random number generator weight some of them differently? I know New Zealand and the training facility arenât, everytime I go to select a new one over half the folders have Dartmoor, Thailand, NY, and Dubai in them. Often 2 of those 4 show up in 3 or 4 folders.
Letâs say youâre on the 4 mission (2nd syndicate) one. 8 folders times 4 maps each equals 32 spots. I believe there are 19 levels to choose from. No way more than 1 map should be in 4 folders right?

Neutralise Lookout objective only gets completed if a lookout is permanently removed either through being hidden or killed.

Sometimes the enforcer status of alerted syndicate members can be exploited against them. Had an alerted mission where I isolated a target by getting spotted on purpose and then walking away to a desolate place while he walked right behind me.

Also my personal tip for hardcore is to take syndicates that have Miami as a location so you can save it for the showdown. Miami is by far the easiest map for the showdown as most suspects are completely in public and frequently use the garage and tunnels to get from place to place, which have very few people in it easy places you can distract suspects too, and places for easy electrocution accident kill for collateral prestige objectives.
For hardcore and alerted territory I also grab the race marshal outfit from the track overpass on the side near the hotel (where you meet sierra knox in the flamingo outfit for the main game). Its relatively easy to get, is a civilian outfit, and gives you access to most places (excluding the specific team garages and the Krondstadt building).
All of this makes eliminating possible suspects much easier, and isolating your actual target very simple nine times out of ten. Occasionally youâll get a one or two suspects thats in the krondstadt building upper floors (in which case I would recommend getting the krondstadt engineer outfit which can be easily acquired by knocking out two engineers behind the race car in the krondstadt ground floor exhibit hall. Youâll also sometimes get a singular suspect in the drivers lounge, its still accessible with the race marshall outfit, its just very cramped as thereâs often times a lot of lookouts and enforcers in there and outside in the crowd.

@JockeGocke, @Monwil, excellent advice, now Iâll know for next time.
Some starting points are quite unfair, I woke up in the morgue in Hokkaido and the targets were in the restaurant and it took me so long and stressed me to even get there

Am I the only one that actually prefer the 9 suspects showdown to the 6 one ?
The largest pool makes it more involved, and there usually are some really easily dismissable suspects, with blatant physical trait. They allow some breathing room, and are always satisfying to cross out.
It just run smoother, and in a more satisfying way than the 6 one, Where itâs usually âI have to look at all of them precisely, just unrelenting zoom in with the cameraâ.
The last showdown just has better rhythm for me.
Also, I looked more closely to the mastery (mostly to try and see what could give more interactions, and gameplay crafting). Looking at you, infirmary.
The Bathroom is unlocked at mastery 4, decorations at 23-24 and then nothing til 97. One of the latest oneâŚ
Itâs going to have the âI need to use the bathroomâ easter egg from Hokkaido, isnât it?

So, when I 100% the weapon gallery in my safe house, am I gonna have a blank wall of DLC weapons missing indefinitely because I didnât buy the two DLC packs!? If so, thatâs kinda dumb.

Died in Ambrose because apparently minor trespassing is punishable by death. Sgail has it even rougher and even existing can get you shot (had to run past an enforcer and he immediately opened fire, thanks game). The third try looked pretty good and I hadnât even failed any prestige objectives, up until I got this shit in the third showdown in Bangkok. Chose SA, no firearms andâŚspoiler: I failed.
Maybe tomorrow, hardcore mode, maybe tomorrowâŚ

Has anyone used the âsmokerâ tell to ignite an oil spill/propane flask during a showdown ?
I know that the dehydrated and foodie tell can be used to poison the leader, but Iâm wondering about this one.
Would have checked myself, but the campaign I just did had no smokers in it.
If yes, it would be very useful for the Burning Man challenge.
About the 100 challenges completed⌠has somebody found a glitch? Because Iâve done 4 of them but the screen says 10/100⌠honeslty itâs too much grind to do that. Is there a way to replicate it? I use the exploit on PS5 and used the âdisconnect internetâ when in trouble. Maybe failing is also counted as completed?
Yep. Although two things about that.
- it is sorta silly to have that blank area where the two extra packs go, knowing that the only way to fill them is to buy.
- thereâs no room for any additional wall space unless they either add more âroomâ or make another room, so the likelihood of more paid DLC packs is pretty low, I think.

I did it and it works. Although it was the wrong suspect and the explosion killed 2 or 3 civilians around him

If it puts you in the morgue, spam the âget upâ button & run for the helipad asap, either theyâll completely miss you (I think thereâs a few seconds grace) or you can hide in the closet at the bottom of the stairs

Is there any difference between Legendary DAK X2 Covert and normal DAK X2 Covert? I lost legendary one and snatched one from Crest on Ambrose Island.

Depending on the mission difficulty there can be several guards wandering around in there as well
