Poisonous frogs apparently do not count as a “natural poison” towards the challenge

I miss the game we lost on January 26th that was way more polished.

Already mentioned in bugs, but one of models of suspect (black man with baseball cap, pink shirt and grey hair) cannot be poisioned with dart guns. I tried it with both kalmer and sieker, and he did not react to it. I did poision him with remote device, but dart guns did not get any reaction from him. This made it impossible to get Poision target - Dart Gun objective.

It’s his shirt that’s bullet proof - if you hit him in the head you can get him. (Stupid, I know.)

This has happened to me as well with a showdown target on Mendoza. It also has happened on another maps but I can’t remember the specifics.
Please make more unique Prestige objectives in the next update
THESE objectives severely limit my playstyle and are not fun to get over and over and over and over. I don’t think you should remove them at all, they’re fun sometimes. However this combination offers almost no variation at all in playstyle.

So. Fucking. Sick. of the psycho guards in Sgail. Twice tonight I’ve got killed because some random guard opened fire on me without provocation and then the whole level somehow knew where I was. It’s my favorite level and I don’t want to have to avoid it just because of this stupid bug. How did it even happen? The gard AI on that level was fine before Freelancer. I hope it doesn’t happen in contracts mode at least.
The game really, really needs a patch right now.

Arguably those SA Prestige Objectives are more restrictive than base due to the SA rules being a bit different between Base and Freelancer.

Shit is haunted, yo.
You can play this map without problem.
This type of bugs aren’t always active.
I played sgail multiple time without any npc guard get any type of bugs.
Instead i get this in new york.
But the more funny was this.
I was doing the challenge of killing 100 targets with a specific sniper rifle(not remember the name).
I emetic poison the target to kill him in a bathroom.
Already occupied but the target enter anyway, so i wait for the npc go away, but seems he have some problem, maybe the prostate?
And seems the glasses isn’t helping him with the aim.

Why am I entering “Combat” when I’m totally isolated with a single civilian target!? So annoying to lose the “No Combat” objective for a perfect run while still achieving a Silent Assassin, Suit Only prestige objective.

It’s bugged, like everything else in freelancer. Stupid.

The Silent Assassin ones are my favourite ones to be honest.

Eliminating the target at their extraction point comes to mind.

I’m playing in hardcore mode in this last week, also I’m so “crazy” to don’t quit the game if i do some mistakes, so I’m going to do it legit just for my personal preference. Yesterday something happened. I was in dubai with the Hide and seek timed objective, which is usually the objective that I prefer to do if the other sucks… I killed my targets and at the exit, with 2 minutes left on the timer, the game decides to ruin my entire campaign. I don’t care about merces, I’ll make it them in a short time, but losing progress for a bug is another thing… At this point I’ll just go for the 100 mastery and then I’ll wait fixes from IOI. It’s a fun mode but they have a lot of work to do.

Or just use a different prestige objective that success or fail is determined mid-level and not at the end. That way if a glitch sets in you can just use the exploit reset.

I don’t mind the Silent Assassin prestige objectives, because I normally try to play the game as close to Silent Assassin as possible, anyway. But I do wish those objectives would be adjusted to be compatible with the normal objectives. Multiple times now, every single map for a Syndicate will have an objective to eliminate guards, yet I still get the Silent Assassin prestige objectives. Like, those aren’t compatible, and it bothers my completionist self. Maybe there’ll be one shitty option, like a timed prestige objective, but I’d prefer if the game did a check to make sure all 3 prestige objectives are fully compatible with at least one of the available maps.
I agree, this objective is buggy. I had assumed “Combat” meant the guards know who I am and start shooting at me. But I’ll fail the “No Combat” objective simply if the guards get excited and pull out their guns, like if they see a target get shot but can’t identify where the shot came from or who did it.

It happened to me again this evening. I was in a bathroom with a civilian target (door closed & no windows). I fired a silenced pistol aiming for the head just as the target went to be sick, so I carelessly missed the first shot which hit the wall in front of the target. Somehow I entered “combat” with this civilian NPC who was facing away from me and was only reacting to a single silenced pistol shot.
