It has a some really nasty insta-fail complications that players get caught out on.
Intercept the courier early? Instafail. Kill Xander before the meetup? Instafail. Kill the courier before the Diamond exchange? Instafail. Kill a marketeer before the exchange? Instafail! You also have to tail the courier (or know where he ends his routine ahead of time), which is also annoying in its own right as their route will be made longer if he spots you tailing him.
It is (or what I thought was) widely disliked, and that’s reflected by the fact it has a 23% initial completion rate. That is a very concerning number as that means only 1/4 of players who tried it succeeded, and 3/4 of participants failed it, and that is a very undesirable win-rate for a temporary target.
It has been re-run precisely three times (twice in 2016, a third time in H2), and former IO PR manager Travis also explained the lack of reruns or an ETA contract was due to being “frustrating for players”, where he also namedropped another ET too; the Ex-Dictator.
It’s the hardest, worst, and one of the more complex-feeling targets in WOA, and it’s all to do with the ambiguity of information surrounding the mission. Mission-critical elements are either easily missed or just straight up not told to you ahead of time.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but if the Fixer is running unmodified, then expect a lot of complaints IO. You have been warned.
