I’m so glad we’ve got the outfit into the game officially now although I think this is a moment you may have to abandon your parameters of perfection, because the challenge description on the patch notes mentions speedrunning, sorry to say 😅 ---

A great patch all round! I notice that there’s a few good unlocks coming up. I’m most interested by that proximity emetic gas duck because that could act in a similar way to the acclaimed Durian… They also have reportedly fixed the item duplication glitch in Freelancer that many people have used over the years. Long time coming… (sadly)! ---

I came into this today, ready to point out how none of the fixes that I have been waiting for have happened with this patch, knowing in my heart that they wouldn’t be (and for the record, indeed, haven’t been), and ready to officially list them all out directly to @IOI_Artjoms in detail with an emphasis that these QoL fixes to the game need to be made a priority. And I’m not going to do it. Not this time. I’ll let it pass and give IOI one more season to fix them before making that list. Because today… oh, my dear friends… today… 🥲… ![image](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/f/df3dbe59b230248ca10bfe6b40588fefb5dae302.gif) ---

I always set them aside when unlocks are on the line. I only use them when I’m playing the game for real. ---

Who is The Harbinger?? Emetic proximity duck! Yes! Purple egg: sedative reskin? It’s gotta be. Looks like the Manypass is both an “invite” and a key hacker. ---

2 reported bugs still haven’t been fixed. -In Hokkaido , Agent Smith’s voice lines get randomly muted. -It’s legal to destroy Sodder’s transplant heart. Both of these were reported 2 months ago. ---

I mean, sure, but what difference does it make? It’s usually beneficial to drop stuff like that at your feet. Like with any placeable item, it’s just adding an extra step for specific scenarios. That isn’t inherently bad, but it isn’t really doing anything different either. ---

Now I wonder if you can place it in bins. That would open new runs to craft. And I love those using those placements. (Ken “The Brick” Morgan will, as always, be my volunteer to test it) You are right. It will be useful for a “set-and-forget” on the path of a NPC, if you want to delay them. Or to only attract one of a pair to the radius. Which is new. And then there is the question of it it makes some noise to attract NPC, as the proximity explosive ducks do. That would hinder the bins possibility, but open a few others. * * * **Also update is live on xbox.** **6.86 GB** ---
