Is pickpocketing a thing now? with your own gear anyway, i first noticed it the other day on freelancer and noticed it again with a coin today

This is beginning to be my thoughts too. There are too many empty spaces on the trophies shelves as well, so its clear IO intend to add things into Freelancer over (the still unconfirmed) Year 3 - so maybe its intentional and just another hint of ā€œmore to comeā€ at this stage.

I just have to think that with the excellent data miners and players we have on this forum, someone would have found it by now or hacked it into existence.

Well one person did. It does exist, it’s just not obtainable. It’s (originally) an unused H2 ET coin similar to the H1 ones apparently.

I still have doubts about that, frankly. It may be true, I really don’t know, but I know that other than this one person, no one has seen it anywhere. Someone would have found it by now.

Had a fun Alerted Berlin mission in the run-up to what will be the final Showdown of my 3rd campaign. One target left to go in the mission but I’ve already knocked out all of my objectives including a Prestige Objective for an Epic Sniper Kill, so I have some freedom in how I deal with the final target.

However, the last target I need to take out before I can leave Berlin is Florida Man, and he’s public-as-fuck and a super-enforcer to my disguises in the Alerted map. But I have the Sieger 300 Ghost with me that I used on an earlier target for my Prestige Objective, and it turns out you can get a lovely and safe sniper shot on Florida man by standing directly on the roof of the DJ booth and scoping the ascending stairs at the other end of the dancefloor, aiming through a small gap in the fascias to hit him as he walks down to/up from the dancefloor.

I guess that spot will have always been there in the main mission version of Berlin but I’ve never had occasion to use it before and it felt genuinely assassin-y taking a sniper shot from a hidden location across a crowded dancefloor. So much fun!

I managed to obtain all the Freelancer Tools except for the ICA Outstanding Service Coin. Has anyone here figured out how to get that one yet?

It’s a bug. It works with coins and that sedative gum too.

Currently on level 93, and there’s no sign of it - landirthome reached level 100 and hasn’t seen it either. It’s likely a bug or they’re planning to release it at a later date (there’s empty space on the shelves, for future updates.)

I hope those future updates can include things like the other syndicate types and names first seen in the original Freelancer announcement video, as well as hopefully access to location default suits in the wardrobe. And dammit, where’s that Tactical Turtleneck with gloves that we’ve known since 2016 is in the game?!

Just lost my first Hardcore campaign while heading to the exit after killing the target… on the FINAL showdown. AMA.

I don’t recall having my teeth this clenched before when playing a game.


That was difficult, and there were many campaigns failed on the way there, but in the end I still enjoyed it a lot and will probably keep going to see how big HC streak can I get. Wouldn’t be against some tweaks though as long as they don’t water down the mode too much (I think forced POs add to the mode and increased my enjoyment, but their balance is wack and could use a fix).

And here’s a screenshot of guards returning to post after a 12-suspect Berlin showdown got evacuated because I thought it looked kinda cool.

It was shown in Year 2 Reveal Stream at 11:15. When supplier menu comes up, ā€œhide bodies with countdownā€ is one of the objectives in top left corner.

Does anyone know, on Isle of Sgail, when the safe is in the room where the original 5 meet, where the fuck are the other two clues? I can only find one tablet on the balcony outside that room.

I never bothered with the clues - I was just using a breaching charge to open them because it was faster.

Sometimes the clues just aren’t there (I’m 100% certain on this - I’ve been in places missing 1 or 2 clues and have spent 20 minutes searching all nearby rooms - they’re just not there.) it’s a bug, unfortunately.
