Usually I do like a bit more variety in a batch but have to say I did quite enjoy this reverse contract pair gimmick. Having said that they do feel a little bit ‘samey’ imo, but still on the whole fairly enjoyable - I got up to traitor among us, which I wasn’t a big fan of, but I might come back to it tomorrow.
Submit to a featured contracts submission thread when they are available on here such as this one that I posted.
Have a Curator reach out to you for a contract, but for this you likely have to be a known creator either here or on discord or in the community somewhere.
Have your contract randomly picked from the Fan Made Contracts thread e.g. for Combatglue’s Picks.
Or come up with your own idea for a whole batch, by yourself or perhaps with a group of creators, and see if Samir (Combatglue) likes it.
Curators are asked first which makes it possible for them to ask people and gather first contracts. If curators decide to do public submission threads here or if IO opens one themselves, these just pop up randomly here.
I have the feeling there is some backlog of curator batches that first have to be released before new submissions are taken.
We don’t know until the batch is announced. For example, I myself had a batch a year or so back (gosh that long ago?) and it was announced in the patch notes and put on the current roadmap. I also had a submissions page here stating im taking submissions for contracts, but not everyone does this. Different people have different ways to do it.
Fun batch so far. I’ve played the sets in Chongqing, Berlin and Whittleton Creek. Pairing them up was an interesting choice. It’s different. I like it.
When contracts with the default briefing are featured, I die a little. There’s implicit intention in this approach. Cool idea @YupItsPurple
While on the final WC FC, I shot the guard on the bench with an SMG I got from a Cassidy guard from the upstairs window of the house for sale. But instead of coming to where I shot him from he goes to or near where I got the guard disguise from. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this happen. I’ll try again but with an SMG I bring in to see if it makes any difference.
In the distance… The guard by the bench went to the right location, but the other guard (on the most right), I shot by his feet when he was in Janus’ yard, then he takes off for the house where I shot the bench guard from. So something is definitely off in how the guards track you down!
He should’ve come up stairs and I could shoot him from this bathroom.
This was a fun batch! I don’t really enjoy refining my route or trying to compete for leaderboard times, but rather try to quickly improvise reasonable strats for all of them in a single stream. Here are my results:
