One we have no way of knowing yet is how the mode will handle things we’d already unlocked in normal game play. Since the Closed Technical Test didn’t use our normal IOI accounts, it had no way of accessing anything we’d already unlocked. Weapons and tools we can assume (based on the way that mode works) we won’t have access too but suits may be a different story. We could have access to all of our unlocked suits as soon as we can get to the wardrobe. We’ll have to wait and see.
Not right away. You start in the signature suit, the glove-less version, and at XP level 2 you unlock the wardrobe to change outfits. That means that, at best, I’ll have to play at least one map in a gloveless suit by default. At that point, might as well go through that whole campaign using gloveless suits until it’s done, then do it right from that point forward.
What are you talking about? I mean my signature suit with gloves. You know, the one with the jacket and the red tie.

Yeah, I don’t get it. It runs counter to everything you’ve ever said, I don’t see what the punchline is.

I took your use of “proper” and assigned it to my definition instead.
This mode cannot come out soon enough.

No, it can’t. And I’m so close to having everything set and ready for it. To enter the new stage of the WoA era of Hitman with all things from the past stages fully completed. I can almost taste it.

The only things I haven’t done 100% are the Siberia map (1 challenge) and Himmelstein (2 challenges). Everything else is completely done. I am really ready for some new ways to play the game.

See the thing with completing everything (reward or not) is sorta bad for me, because i love just booting up the game and just doing some challenges to relax and still enjoy the game, it also makes me a always come crawling back! So going out my way to do them all leaves me with more time to do nothing on Hitman, thus making me be burned out more frequently.

I will occasionally go back to Himmelstein or Siberia and give those last 3 challenges a shot and I will continually fail at them and give up for a while longer. Eventually, someday, maybe I’ll do them. Maybe I won’t. Once Freelancer is released, I probably won’t bother for a good long while though.
Well you could, like, have that map being one with an easily available gloved disguise and do the mission with it. For example, select Miami, get the Pale Rider or Kowoon Mechanic disguise from the locker room, do what 47 does best, switch back to your suit and leave, and then you’d be level 2 and able to choose whatever you want to wear.
Wait does that mean you also grinded the 20 levels of the sniper maps? If so I applaud your dedication. I’m guessing one of these challenges you’re missing is the waltz thing?
Yeah, one is the waltz one and the other (i’m pretty sure) is the one where you have to electrocute three targets in 30 seconds. The one on Siberia is the one where everyone has to die in an accident. I’ve gotten pretty close so many times and then messed up one shot or something and ruined the whole thing.
Yeah those two are easily the most annoying challenges in the mode, and probably among the worst challenges in the whole game as well. Accidents raising suspicion in that mode while they don’t in the rest of the game prevent a lot of creative approaches. There’s basically very few right / optimal approaches for each map and having to grind those 20 levels with the same strategy each time gets old very fast.
No, no, no; it is begin, and end, in a gloved outfit. And, I want to do the missions in my signature suit, with gloves, from the start. I can’t, so the entire first campaign is compromised. Once I unlock the wardrobe and can begin a new campaign, then we’re getting serious.
Well since mastery remains between campaigns regardless of whether you complete or fail them, you could just pick some random syndicate and just try to reach level 2 without unlocking any weapons or tools, then abandon the campaign and start over while having access to your preferred suit? That way you wouldn’t technically lose anything apart from a few merces. No need to go through a whole campaign if you just need to start over once you can get the suit you want.

Don’t you reach Mastery level 2 pretty much after a single map? Just cheese that one to get to level 2, quit the campaign, and start over with access to the suit you want to use. Treat it more like a tutorial than anything else.
Nah. I’ll use that initial campaign outside of my usual suit and playing style to figure out how it all works and get as much money and weapons stored up as possible. Then when I start a new one, I’m ready to be serious.
All the objectives are automatically shuffled and chosen for each mission once you confirm the current Campaign. You can see which objectives get set for each mission, you only get a choice of which one to start first/leave for last.
I wouldn’t want to live a day inside your head, it sounds exhausting

But do they reshuffle when exiting and going back in?
Try living inside my head for more than three decades and then get back to me.

No, they don’t reshuffle. They’re set for each mission and you can’t change them. I’ve even had the game crash on me once in the safehouse, but the objectives (and rewards I hadn’t picked up yet) remained the same as when I first loaded into it.
The prestige objectives also stay the same for your entire campaign, until you win or lose, and you can unfortunately only swap them out one-by-one by picking them. (So if you have (god forbid) 3 unachievable prestiges, you have to pick one of them for a mission, just to re-roll another.)
