Breaking News! Bird Brain Bests Belligerent Baddies!

Wooooooo!!! I’ve been at this for nearly a month now! Got over 50 mastery on the damn thing, and only now have I finished my first Campaign! Oh my gosh!!
(Omg this is just like Hades. I finally beat that game on my 60th run, and here I am at Mastery 60 doing the same thing)

I don’t know if I ate some four-leaf-clovers this morning, but I got some serious luck with the last few missions. Targets would half-spot me trespassing and walk right to me, or they’d investigate a noise instead of sending someone else, or I just get a nice batch of isolated-ish targets… wow…

This feels so relieving now, I’m so glad to finally have finished a full set of syndicates. Now to see how long I can last again, definitely not touching Hardcore with a 50-foot pole.

how did you get their burner phones? did you KO a target, and let another NPC wake them up? doesn’t that trigger an evacuation?

I’ve found they don’t flee if they’re KO’d with a Kalmer and no one, including the suspect, saw the shot to think it was anything other than an accidental KO.

Congratulations! Nothing beats that moment of celebration and pride that you have for your first moments after reaching a milestone. We’ll be seeing more achievements like these I’m sure of it! :smile:

You can give them a wallop with something too, as long as they don’t know you did it and nobody sees you do it.

I’ve not had SA voided with accident kills. Not sure what’s happening for you tho. Unless you’re moving the body unseen after the accident and then it gets found, then yes, that will void SA.

I haven’t done all accident kills but ways I’ve done them, has bodies found and kept SA are:

  • dropped a chandelier on target
  • breaching charge propane combo
  • shooting a propane tank explosion
  • pushing target through window
  • oil canister burn
  • oil drum burn
  • car explosion

Maybe more but can’t think of any right now. But as I’ve said, all of these were accident kills I’ve done and all have kept SA.

Maybe I’m missing something with what’s happening to you. :man_shrugging:

I got spotted by enforcer at 1st floor, and when I run to upper floor and killed target with explosion, it compromised me. Is it normal?

Legitimately the last time I played through Bangkok, I was like this.

Well, I just failed a campaign because snap neck and melee attack are the same button. Bum rushed two guards with a baseball bat, got the first one, prepared to swing at the other one, and 47 calmly crouches down and snaps the first guys neck. :confused:

It could’ve been worse. 47 could’ve decided to calmly retrieve his sniper rifle.

Congrats! Just went to the VOD and watched your final Showdown, the excitement was palpable (side note: TheChicken voice reveal, not real chicken confirmed :astonished:).

Also loved how you were fretting over the optional objective right in front of the exit. Just leave arghghhh!

I haven’t followed your streams but that pay-out tells me you’ve been goon for completion of all objectives. That’s very impressive and I guess that explains you had such a hard time completing a campaign.
I’ve only completed two so far, but by ignoring some of the side and prestige objectives.

Wait, but, what?

I don’t remember the scenario but I definitely did have SA voided with an accident, and other users have reported this happening too. I’m not moving dead bodies when this happens.

If accidents don’t fail the “no bodies found” requirement of Silent Assassin Prestige Objective, that opens things way up. I’m going to have to test this a bit more thoroughly.

This is why I said the electro phone wouldn’t help for SA, since in most cases you’d do it out in the open and the body would be found.

Again, other people have confirmed what I thought was the working mechanic. Will do some testing.

You betcha!

I’ll get more videos tonight (of actual kills on targets) after I’m home from work but I tried this and this didn’t void SA either.
