The Follicle Paradox

Chongqing

Good evening 47,

Our anonymous client has not been very forthcoming with details on the targets. Only described a past transgression and a deep envious grudge for a particular feature they share.

The client has something specific in mind for these two, and they would prefer to leave innocents out of any harm. I suggest you bring your Sunday best for this one.

Sounds like this is personal 47.

It really has been so long (exactly 3 years) since IOI released their own batch of FCs. It was the final 10 contracts for H2016 before H2 was released. All fit with the theme of Halloween.

In the spirit of Halloween, we’ve created 10 Featured Contracts that are spooky, creepy or otherwise frightening. We had a lot of fun making them and we hope you’ll enjoy playing through them. We created some that are focused on disguises, others tell spooky stories through the briefing and others are plain mayhem – let us know what you think!

Looking forward to playing these!
Weren’t the first featured contracts available on H3 release (I recall “The butler did it” in particular) also made by IOI? That was a great batch as well!

Just did The Follicle Paradox.

Sneaking a sniper rifle to the top of the block was fun. I know there a bunch of route that allow the use of a briefcase and an easy contract completion.
But I went the extra mile and did a no loadout run. Had to steal the sniper from the rooftop and sneak with it on my back, with all that it means on shortened alert time. Also had to steal a lethal poison pill jar.

So much stealing was done, we are in the season of envy indeed.
I really enjoyed it.

Unlocked the Ducky Sniper for my efforts. It’s a beauty.

It doesn’t do a quack sound when fired unfortunately.

They look interesting. Looking forward to play them.

Family Matters was surprising as I usually hate contracts with an excessive amount of complications. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I did this in 1:49 although I can see some ways to improve on that time.

Hold on, did you just shot the sieker three time ?

I presume it’s because you also have a tranquilizer gun and it shares the dart pool and ammo count (minus the one in the TG chamber), but is this a well known thing, am I again late on knowing useful tip and tricks ?

(also nice run, I appreciate the instructions and care in it)

Oof 5 complications and all auto-fails…

All three contracts were easy enough, fun to play, and despite the auto-fail conditions, I managed each of them in one try…but…all three of them had the same basic flaw that I find in so many contracts. I realize that it’s usually optional but I cannot stress how much I hate it when a contract tells me what to wear. The outfit changing mechanic is such a core part of this game that it infuriates me that contract creators keep trying to take it away!

Can’t you shoot him from alley if you lure him to the window?

Also 10/10 from me without even playing any yet… because I don’t see Mendoza :rofl:

I tried that initially but it didn’t work. The angle makes it impossible.
