It’s highly likely that you have to use the katana that’s near the ledge where you start as the Ninja. Unfortunately, the game is just that way. You’ll not unlock whichever challenge if you use a similar weapon, the only difference being a reskin.
This challenge was introduced in H1 (2016) when the White Katana wasn’t in the game yet.
Also, don’t bother with doing this on the Snow Festival mission. Find a Contract (in Contracts Mode, search) that will help you with this. The people you kill have to be targets and there aren’t enough targets on the normal missions.
The things to search for are:
Hokkaido: Situs Inversus
X number of targets (see the challenge for number)
Lethal Melee
Or use the term ‘Groom’ to help better narrow the search results.
It seems like with this ‘Challenge Pack’(?) I had to play more than one contract. These steps might not be exact, but it should be enough for you to find out what to do.
Yeah, the white katana is bugged in this regard and not considered a ‘katana’ by the game for challenge purposes. I had the same problem with the ninja challenge in Hawke’s Bay. You have to use either the regular katana or the unlockable Masamune.
Not sure if i or anyone posted this before. In the Illusions of Grandeur Special Assignment, the chawl building is not a trespassing area, the guards wont let you in, but once you’re in they wont do anything if they see you.
UPDATE: I launched yesterday the game a few moments after I reported the different unavailable items from stashes, and magically: some reappeared while other vanished.
Has reappeared: ICA19 Silverballer, Enram HV CM, ICA Woodsman Rifle Covert, Sedative poison vial and lethal pills.
Has vanished: Lethal poison vial, lethal syringe
Looks like IO´s way of preparing people for the Freelancer mode. Get ready for your shit which normally is available suddenly not being available… (on a serious note though, it´s an annoying bug and I hope for your guys´ sake it gets fixed asap)
Platform: Xbox
So my game crashed in the middle of an elusive target arcade contract, locking me out. But the thing that really annoys me is that it has also locked me out of a different one that I haven’t even played yet as well. I cannot reproduce this yet for obvious reasons.
[UPDATE] Never mind, now they’re all available again. It’s all a bit buggy at the moment, isn’t it?
[UPDATE] I just completed the contract that crashed my game, and now it says I’ve failed again, along with the third elusive target contract that hadn’t failed which, again, I haven’t played yet. What is going on?
[UPDATE] Now the second contract is available again, the first contract’s still unavailable, and the third contract (which I played, but quit from before I completed any objectives) says I failed.
On PC Epic Game Store after last update 3.100.0 on EGS keyboard and mouse not responding. I can’t play and can’t press any key in game menu. I try to reset all control settings, and I try to checking the consistency of files. Nothing works.
Installed latest patch, to try out the Elusive arcade, only to be greeted with 12h countdown on each contract, while it was practically impossible to fail beforehand.
I know I have to wait 12 hours, but still, it should be checked out…
PS4 I seem to be unable to open doors on Untouchable, at least before being detected. I was just getting excited about H3 again and then IOI “happened”.
Edit: looks like this might have been a server problem, seems to be ok now.
Minor bug but annoying on loadout menu after the new patch sometimes (happen to me 3 times already) when u choose to add/replace item it’s go back to loadout screen without changing adding the item only after 2nd force same thing its working. The ETA mode with the fail bug restrictions before even starting the mode is a big bug bummer. I really think IOI to consider to stop these clocks restrictions for the long run why not make it 10 min penalty or so why wait almost a day?
Platform: PC Digital, PCVR (Varjo, Index, RiftS and Quest 2 all attempted on SteamVR)
Location: Any, I used dubai.
Description : There are two foveated rendering like circles that appear when playing on PCVR. Outside these circles godrays and other things do not render correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
Start the game
Enable VR Mode
Load into any mission (I loaded into dubai)
Notice the two large overlapping white circles in the middle of both eyes in the VR headset
Frequency : Only happens in missions, happens every time. The menu and cutscenes are excluded.
Attach or link to any videos or images that will help explain the issue.
not even start any of them yet…
