If 47 is holding a propane tank and a briefcase, when you go into your inventory and navigate to the briefcase immediately from the propane tank - the briefcase will still (incorrectly) display the “Accident: Explosion” tag from the propane even though you’ve changed items.
If another item is briefly selected so you can get to the briefcase in the inventory wheel, the “Accident: Explosion” tag is removed as intended.
Description:
Is there a change in specifications to allow larger items to be tucked into the briefcase?
If I am not mistaken, large size items can be stored in the briefcase since January of this year of the freelancer implementation.
I believe that previously Katana, bats, axes, canes, etc. could not be stored in the briefcase.
I think this has markedly changed the difficulty of playing escalation and contracting.
Is this an official specification? Or is it a bug or something? Will it return to the original specification someday?
I did a quick review of the patch notes and couldn’t find any mention of this.
Sorry if this is an oversight on my part.
As an aside, I also consider the fact that the Seeker 1 and Tranquilizer needles can no longer coexist to be a major spec change.
It is very strange that there is no mention of this either.
Steps to reproduce:
prepare a briefcase.
prepare large sized items such as Katana, axes, etc.
these larger sized items can be stored in the briefcase.
A few patches ago you removed a technique speedrunners used called stored shot.
It’s done by pressing/holding Instinct and then pressing the Shoot button. This would store a shot/bullet such that when you pressed Aim (after storing) it would fire the shot immediately. This was a very useful input technique and I would like to see it back. I’m guessing this was removed by accident since this was in the game from the beginning and only removed this year during the January patch (I believe).
This pipe in the little room off of Hirschmüller’s Office doesn’t highlight in instinct, even though you can scale the ledge to get to it to climb in and out.
There are even after lastest patch still some clothes that have notable clipping issues. All of them still occur.
Platform: PC
Location: Landslide
Description: This NPC has notably blacked out back of his suit, and has shirt clipping through neck
That’s still there. I saw it the other week and forgot to take a screenshot and have been playing it in hopes the one NPC that has that disguise (that I know of) spawns so I could post it, but alas he has not. The pants have terrible clipping. It’s more clipping than intended pants.
Steam and PS5
Whittleton Creek/The Serial Killer ET
On the mission planning screen, the target image is showing the “Any Method” and “Any Disguise” text - which is not how the rest of the game operates. If there is no restrictions, then this text is meant to be hidden and a larger target image is meant to be displayed instead.
Noticed this while playing Freelancer and hastily re-created it in the main mission - if you pull a NPC through this window, the body is marked as hidden. Even though its really not.
Steam
Paris
In the The Corky Commotion (H1 GOTY) escalation, the “No Agency Pickups” complication is incorrectly marked as being optional. Going to the loadout and attempting to select a pickup spot greets you with a “Not Available” message.
Location: Haven Island
Description: Walls in laundry room are so thin, than when exploding propane flask here, it killed my supplier (woman in shower)
Frequency: Always
Location: Paris (Freelancer)
Description: This treat cannot be poisoned, although it displays it can be, most likely because it is behind glass, which player can’t reach, but target can.
Frequency: Once
Since January, whenever something appears in the picture-in-picture, if it doesn’t have one of the frames around it (ie “Target Eliminated”, “Briefcase Stashed” or “Body Found”), it won’t display correctly in that the objectives will be overlayed on top of it. This doesn’t happen in all cases, but happens often enough.
During Freelancer, mainly in Mumbai, the PIP won’t have the frame when a body is found so it can also happen there too.
This example of it occurring in Dubai seems to be consistent though.
I play on xbox one. I have never been able to pick up the fuse in the garage in freelancer. I have reported this bug at least 5 times. No has fixed it yet. I have deleted and installed the game 4 times now. No change. Now all of a sudden playing today. I was not getting a prompt to pick up the mushroom out of the yard. Even though it highlites on instinct. I am getting so angry and frustrated I want to throw the game away and tell everyone I know not to buy it. I paid a lot of money for this game and people that are playing it for free are having lesd issues. Who do I email at ioi to get some of my money back? This is such bullshit.
Akane Akenawa’s face doesn’t look right anymore and is now darker than the rest of her. Its not just this specific spot either/a weird shadow thing in this area. It’s consistently there no matter where she is.
I may be misunderstanding your question, but I’m pretty sure it’s always been the case that you can take weapons such as baseball bats, katana, certain (or all) axes etc into missions inside a briefcase. Once the weapon is taken out of the briefcase though, it can’t be put back into the briefcase. This also means that where these weapons are available to pick up on location, they can’t be placed into a briefcase at all. Both in the main game and freelancer
I’ve always found this to be a hinderance with the “Pacify target - baseball bat” prestige obj. as it requires wearing a guard disguise to safely bring the bat back to the safe house after using it
Edit : although if i’m wrong and they did indeed implement this change, then somehow i’ve not even tried once in my many many hours playing freelancer and i’ve annoyingly been making things MUCH harder for myself at times
Please try it.
Before the Freelancer was implemented, as you know, you could only put them in the briefcase at the start of a mission, and it was impossible to re-store them after the mission had started.
Now, however, Katana and Bat and another big size items can be stored in the briefcase even during a mission.
This is true for both campaigns and freelancers.
Don’t you think it’s kind of strange?
If you place the banana on the ground so its able to cause a NPC to slip on it, if you reload a save after the banana was placed on the ground but before it caused someone to slip - the banana will now just look like it was dropped on the ground rather than placed to cause a slip. Only now you aren’t able to pick it up again to re-place it again.
As you can see from the save thumbnail - the banana was clearly placed:
I contacted Microsoft support regarding the Trinity Pack for “HITMAN WoA for XBOX” not being available for purchase in Japan.
They replied that there is currently no purchase page and it is not available for purchase.
They said that Microsoft cannot respond to this issue and that they would like us to contact the manufacturer.
We can only ask the manufacturer, IOI, to take action.
We would like to purchase the Trinity Pack, so we ask for your cooperation.
This yellow platform is not a trespassing area for 47 to be in while in his suit. If you go in either possible direction from this platform, you’re trespassing. So this seems to be quite illogical to be considered a public area.
When playing through the Kashmirian series of hidden Mission Stories, on the third one called “Homecoming” there is a very small typo in the Mission Story text. It should say “possibly” not “possible” - in Diana’s dialogue that plays which is just reading the same thing, she says “possibly” too so definitely just a small typo that has gone unnoticed since 2018.
Extremely minor I know, but I know typos have been fixed before so thought it worth mentioning.
