Simple mod framework bug, not iois fault

Anyone got a contract for the Floral Baller or am I overthinking it :joy:

Lol, I had a featured contract submitted back in days that almost duplicates this challenge:

I tried a contract with targets that were easy enough to kill the required ways. Upon finishing it I could hear a very strange looping sound like when you complete challenges, but it was a black screen with
(X) Skip
at the bottom. Definitely buggy.

Then I tried it with the regular mission. That’s only when the challenges were recognized. So maybe IO forgot to allow them to be completed via Contracts. I say “forgot”, but I’m sure there’s more nuance to the situation. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional or to force the players to do it a certain way.

Ughh that is just creepy. Gonna have nightmares now!

Got it done. It does not have to be done in one attempt. The progress will carry over between attempts so you can do it one target, restart, one target, restart, one target…

I did it in two attempts. It was easier than i thought it would be. It’s a nice touch they chose the Garden Show to unlock it. Now new challenges in Chongqing!

New challenges, how about expanding where we can go in the city and add more NPCs as well as an additional exit or two. The gondola would make a perfect exit point.

The hardest part was finding a Garden Fork

I dont get this mindset.

“Wow through a thought out new challenge i unlocked a newly modeled gun! Developers add new challenges in insert map here !!!”

I’m not sure i understand what you mean.

Did you not see the parallel?

I thought your whole comment was about Dartmoor, now i understand. I was ironizing on what people usually think of Chongqing actually. I don’t like how people demand rather than wish either.

Not sure if its just me but it looks like they made combat even less forgiving in the recent update.

Ah, I haven’t been fighting the guards in HITMAN 3 recently so I can’t check this out myself but I will do so when I can! I progressively got more fed up with the increase in difficulty of the combat so my playstyle has definitely changed for most of the missions and contracts I play. Sometimes I do like to fight the guards with all of my good weapons but I just hate how they’ve silently decreased 47’s health over the 3 games. If you compared 47’s health on HITMAN back in 2016, HITMAN 2 in 2018 and HITMAN 3 now, you’d most likely find that it has been gradually decreased. The introduction of Casual Difficulty (I play on this when I’m feeling John Wick-rampage style :stuck_out_tongue: ) in HITMAN 2 did little in the way of giving 47 more health, but simply gave him a higher health regeneration than on other difficulties. HITMAN 3 feels like he has even less health.

Hell, I’d even say aim assist on console has also been nerfed a lot since HITMAN in 2016. Of course, you could say that the instant headshot aim assist was too OP to start with, but speaking as someone who loves that feeling of absolute superiority in combat, I do miss it haha Nowadays in HITMAN 3, you can’t just fumble your aim in any odd direction; you really have have to aim close to their head for the aim assist to lock in.

Anyway, to my fellow HITMAN fans on PC, this discussion sounds trivial. Maybe one day I’ll get it on PC myself and see how it feels hehe. Sorry for the ramble too!

Bruh the challenge was so easy it sucked, since SA isn’t required you can just throw the shears and fork on targets and instantly restart, + killing with the shredder is a joke, stuyvesant goes by it in her route
