Saw someone post this on a Discord server who apparently was playing on Xbox, so putting it here. Anyway, when you take the disguise from the NPC in the circle in the first screenshot - 47 seems to also acquire an invisibility cloak.

If you shoot the camera evidence, not a single person in a room filled with NPCs will hear the bullet hit the recorder, which isn’t in line with how anyone else near any other recorder in the game would react in the same scenario.

That’s because when you shoot it, the mansion staff guy upstairs hears it and will come down and investigate it. I think it’s related to how he’ll also investigate if you smash the glass to get the shotgun

Just tested it - no one else was visibly distracted by the shot, nor did anyone come investigate it.

If someone else was coming, the other NPCs would at least briefly have a ? indicator before returning to normal. But they don’t in this instance.

Hey guys don’t know if I’m in the right thread. Couldn’t find anything about this issue.  
The prestige objective payout keeps bugging and isn’t counted

Here a pic, only the 3 optionals were counted although the prestige was completed as well. (PS5)

Hardcore showdown mission failure upon exiting the mission with both leader and prestige objective completed. Silent assassin no firearms.

This has happened once before in Whittleton Creek.

Similar issue here, except not during showdown.

Perfect Run objective is broken on hardcore mode and causes a mission failure even though itself and all the requirements are completed.

PC of course, though I don’t think this is a platform specific bug.  
And before anyone asks, yes this bug occurs with or without mods and no, it’s not caused by mods.

During a Showdown, I had a reverse Perfect Run bug, where I got credit for a Perfect Run despite not completing one of my objectives. I also seem to have gotten the 1,000 :merces: for the objective I failed. 😆

I had the same “problem”. Lindolfo had a possible explanation for it, that also holds water in your case:

> [@Freelancer - General Discussion](https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/freelancer-general-discussion/17691/3762):

> It was the Hide Target Bodies objective, it registers twice when you complete it. Additionally you would have failed the Perfect Run objective if it was an actual perfect run because of the Hide Target Bodies registering twice.

This might not be a bug but a feature withholding an existing reward for collecting everything until IO is finished including all intended content.

100% agree. If it weren’t intended to be absent, there is no way it wouldn’t have been fixed back in May tbh since its a relatively simple fix.

Platform  
PS5 Digital

Location  
Berlin

Contents  
During the leader showdown at the end of stage 4, the target’s leader went down into the wall and was completely out of control.  
I don’t like disconnects, but this time I had no choice but to redo this target,  
but, the target did not move at all voluntarily until I used “Seeker 1”.

Steps to reproduce  
1. do the final mission in Freelancer mode in Berlin.  
2. the target is randomly determined.  
3. the leader is inside the wall and cannot be reached.

Frequency of occurrence  
Only once.(However, the same was true after the line was disconnected.)

I actually thought this bug was fixed - I knew it existed, but having completed quite a few missions with similar objectives + perfect run I though it was working correctly - but apparently it was not.

The image below it is after hardcore showdown on Maldives, at least it was in the early stage.

Is this bs planned to be fixed in the august patch ?

It even listed prestige objective as completed on the detailed score.

The Prestige objective that only unlock as you exit are consistently successful failures in Hardcore. Only use prestige objectives that can actually be unlocked during a mission.

**Platform:** PC (Steam)

**Location:** Marrakesh (bug was discovered at this location)

**Description** : No fire accident kills animation (NPC or target just stands and screams)

I first discovered this bug in Marrakesh when I shoot the oil puddle in the tunnel where both targets meet. Later, the same bug was discovered in The Appraiser ET on the Isle of Sgàil.

**Steps to reproduce:**

1. Load the Marrakesh mission
2. Sabotage any oil drum
3. Wait until the target or NPC stands near it
4. Shoot puddle of oil or wait for the target or NPC to start smoking

**Frequency** : Always happens for me
