Freelancer | Patch 3.170.1 | Bugs and Imperfections

I’m really hoping the vehicle leaving the SafeHouse area issue is going it be fixed when the update arrives.

Nothing more annoying having say the black helicopter in the back part of the Safehouse, but when you decide to leave the Safehouse from the basement, 47 ends up flying out in the red helicopter? :thinking: little annoying, but hopefully it’s fixed soon :crossed_fingers:t2:

Personally, I like having the option to leave in a totally random vehicle, not just the ones specifically selected. A compromise would be keeping the office exit random but the basement exit be just ones selected (though they should fix duplicate vehicles appearing in the exit cutscenes)

Not a bad idea to be fair :grin:

ALL THESE GUARDS! I’m compromised to but was only (originally) sus’ed by one single guard in a bathroom I was alone with. I go back to this security Rm and they’re all coming down from the floor above. I’m going to consider this a bug because it’s way too stupid to be a game feature.


This one started me practically right next to a target in HC. :joy:

Yeah compromission is really, really bugged right now. Very often I get tons of orange people out of nowhere. A couple of days ago in Chongqing I KO’d a target then hid in a box. Some guy finds the KO’d target and goes to the nearest guards, then suddenly turns orange (when I was still in the box), guards come into the room and start shooting at the box…

And let’s not mention the UI turning into “compromised” or even “engaging” then going back to normal after some time like nothing happened :x

Agreed. I had the very same situation in the Bangkok security room yesterday. Turned into a bloodbath. And today I had a wonky scenario during a final campaign showdown in Sgail. Got compromised by a guard in the Constant´s tower, killed him while he was on the radio, and then suddenly had a bunch of orange and normal guards running in from all over the island. Not from the nearby area, but completely random places…

In master difficulty there should always be a chance of being spotted while actively hiding in a container much like in Blood Money. But not from across the map.

I didn’t mention that nobody saw me hiding in there… and that the level wasn’t even alerted :x

Does anyone know if the Helicopter, which is unlocked at level 96, having no audio is a bug? I’ve heard someone on here say before it’s supposed to be like that, but when 47 takes off in it there’s still no audio from the leaves rustling etc? :thinking:

IIRC it had sound when used as an exit in Dubai so it’s a bug.

Have you unlocked the Helicopter yourself yet? If you have, just select your destination, weapons etc and head to the Helicopter exit instead of the exiting the Safehouse in the Basement. That way you should hopefully be able to see :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks for letting me know :+1:t2:

In Chongqing, the strangest thing happened to me.

I was playing the final showdown (level 18) in hardcore mode in Chongqing.
That’s a nightmare to play - I rather would do the showdown in Colorado instead -but that aside…

My mandatory prestige object was “Silent Assassin - No Firearms”.
I succesfuly killed the leader, erased the video evidence and I went for the exit in the ICA facility (the one you need to hack with your phone).

The exit icon was correct (so not the icon with the cross that you see when you have not completed the main objectives). But then something really frustrating happened: campaign failed! Hours of work down the drain!

I looked at the mission summary and the game literally stated that I had completed the prestige objective.
I got the following score:
Leader eliminated 1000xp
Payout objectives 3000xp
Prestige objective 2000xp
The hardcore bonus and perfect run bonus were missing.

This is the strangest bug ever for me. How could this have happened?
There were two ‘special’ things going on:

  1. The drones on the roof kept distracting the guard there, because I pacified and hidden a guard in a container there.
  2. I forgot the silverballer which was put in a weapon crate by an assassin.

These two conditions do not break “Silent Assassin - No Firearms”.
I mean, I brought the silverballer only to distract guards and not to fire it.
And I checked this in the regular gaming mode: if the drones on the roof spot something illegal, it does not break the Silent Assassin green icon.
Anyway, the game already stated that I had completed the “Silent Assassin - No Firearms” objective succesfully.

I tried to reproduce this ‘bug’ by playing showdowns in normal mode and using the same exit. But then it works out just fine!

I have no clue what could have triggered the failing of the campaign.
I do know that this is the strangest thing I ever encountered while playing the Hitman series for years :grinning:

Unfortunately there is no explanation for this other than this is a random bug that has happened to many people here. Luckily it’s rare, but at the same time common enough to have happened to me twice.
I thought avoiding vehicle exits would do the trick, but judging from your description that doesn’t work either.
A little prayer before exiting perhaps?

Thanks for replying, Franz!

Prayer or not, it totally ruins the fun of playing hardcore mode this way.
When you cannot trust the rules of the game itself.

They should at least give you some extra time to exit out of the game before the fail gets registered.
Or they should show you a warning prompt before exiting that the main objectives are not complete.

Any tips on how to escape/exit as fast as possible? I play on Xbox One.

The bug may be consistent per person.

A mi eso mismo me paso hace tiempo al comprar o recoger un arma de fuego del escenario. No lo veo un fallo propiamente dicho, más bien parece ser que el reto en sí no permite que tengas esas armas.

A mi me ha ocurrido lo siguiente esta mañana.

Plataforma PC

Localización Marrakech

Estoy acabando mi reto contrarreloj a toda velocidad y voy lo ultimo antes de salir a un vendedor del mercado que esta junto a la salida del oeste. En ese vendedor gasto 33.700 merces en unas ganzúas de coleccionista y en una kalmer. Salgo pocos segundos después por la salida mas cercana. Cuando llego a la Casa tengo la kalmer pero no tengo las ganzúas de 30000 merces, el dinero también me falta

Esta mañana por error escribí un post sobre este tema, fui exacto en todo lo que dije allí salvo en el hecho de que no me fije que sí me cargo la kalmer pero no las ganzúas

Not to sound like a right old cunt here, but please refrain from speaking another language unless (i think) you can give a English version to

Best way to beat Hardcore is to use avoid mandatory objectives that only unlock at the end of the mission?
