Not true, its useful in Freelancer if you have “No Witnesses” objective and have unconscious witness and don’t want to kill them
1 Like
I had that thought too. Tested it and it doesn’t remove them as witnesses for the purpose of that objective in Freelancer.
Seems to be a mostly pointless feature - with the only benefit being if you’re playing messy and in case a body is found, you don’t want to blow the disguise and have that info spread.

Well, that’s disappointing. I thought if you had f.e. innocent leader, had him be a witness, and didn’t want to lose 1000 Merces, you’d “knock” the witness status out of him. Oh well, maybe they’ve forgotten about implementing it (or it’s just completely useless).

What’s the status on the Arrange a Meeting bug? Has IOI ever acknowledged this issue? It feels like such an obvious, game-mode-breaking problem and I don’t understand how it hasn’t been addressed yet.

It’s at least five posts in Bug Report Thread in this forum since 2023, from the late Travis era to Samir era, and, it’s a bug I don’t think appear in any known-issue notices.
I remember someone came up with certain controls to increase the probablity to achieve the objective. But that’s way too complicated and witchery, like random cheat codes you found from random websites for GTA games, but more ineffectively.

Japanese Horror tale #10, new challenge in New York.
Any Disquise for all 3 targets
1st target 2nd floor the investment banker that goes into the bathroom to snort, place a coin at the edge of the toilet he will see and when prompted drown. Must be a drown.
then final 2 targets are upstairs, the girl is in the room where Mann is , I recommend using the durian, but in a way where she is the second to puke. The first goes to trash can , the second goes down to bathroom. You want her not to be first to breathe the air from durian.
throw the hobby knife at her once you in a quiet spot and hobby is located in the supply room near where you drowned the first guy. Walk the hall towards the investment and there’s a supply room with a copy machine.
the final target is a security guard in the ceo office, scissors are a must, and located 2nd floor in the break room
Very good challenge
3 targets , any disquise for all 3.
drown for investment banker
Thrown hobby knife for girl
scissors for the guard

I got a new newsletter about the patch!
/> looks at date received:
Uh…huh.
Look, IO, I appreciate the news being sent via the newsletter, and actually using it for more than just advertising your latest DLC, but the patch was on the 30th, not the 31st.
Timely news, as per usual.

To be honest, I don’t see this getting a fix anytime soon. Same with the ‘Perfect Run’ prestige objective, it was removed in the hopes of a fix and it’s never returned.

They haven’t fixed major issues with the main game that have been broken for years. Freelancer fixes don’t have a prayer.

I answered a survey on Instagram.
Here’s the survey I received.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to know the questions beforehand.
Summary
Question 1: Have you played the Bruce Lee Mission?
How would you rate the mission on a scale of 1-5?
5 being exceptional, 1 being poor.
The Bruce Lee mission was the first time it was a non-kill mission.
Was this something you enjoyed?
What in-game items would you like to see in the future?
Thiscan be anything from outfits, weapons, unique skins, etc.
Are there any in-game items as a part of previous campaigns that you missed out on see returned?
In a recent update we reduced the arcade cooldown on celebrity elusive target missions.
Did you like this change?
With the recent update, we adjusted and fixed a few things in the mission.
Have you played it since?
Could you share with us your thoughts on the changes?
Any additional thoughts or feedback you’d like to share with the team?
By the way, here’s the answer I gave:
I’d be thrilled if HITMAN gets various updates next year too.
Summary
What in-game items would you like to see in the future? This can be anything from outfits, weapons, unique skins, etc.
What I desire is also found in BloodMoney: customizable pistols, sniperrifles, assault rifles, submachineguns, and shotguns.Implementing these in Freelancermode is also acceptable.
Additionally, a handgun with a 2x-3xzoom scope.
A versatile syringe capable ofadministering poison via twomethods: food/drink or directinjection into the body (three types:emetic, anesthetic, lethal).
A non-lethal boomerang weaponthat returns to the user after hittingthe target.
Mark 2 & 3 tranquilizer syringe.
And items obtainable only throughcarryover from HITMAN 2: theICA Outstanding Service Coin,the Aluminum Briefcase, and theBLACK winter suit.
Are there any in-game items as a part of previous campaigns that you missed out see returned?
The ICA Outstanding Service Coin,the Aluminum Briefcase, and theBLACK winter suit.
The Aluminum Briefcase andBLACK winter suit can only beobtained by carrying them overfrom HITMAN 2, meaning userswho started with HITMAN 3 haveno opportunity to acquire them.
Particularly, the ICA OutstandingService Coin was not even availablein Japan because the release datewas delayed by half a year, meaningHITMAN hadn’t been released hereyet, and we weren’t even given thechance to obtain it.
I hope we are given the opportunityto obtain it in HITMAN 3 as well.
I consider this unfair.
Could you share with us your thoughts on the changes?
I appreciate the time reduction for Elusive Arcade.
However, if they were going to reduce it to 30 minutes, I think they might as well have made it 0 minutes-meaning no penalty at all.
Any additional thoughts or feedback you’d like to share with the team?
I believe the continuous updates for the HITMAN game are coming to an end, but I have a few requests.
They are as follows:
• Unlock all content offline.
• Unlock Elusive Targets.
• Add a function to delete contracts created and distributed in Contract Mode.
• Cross-play for contracts.
• Add the following options to the specified items in Contract Mode: “Fast Killstreak,” “No Equipment,” “Disguise Number of times limited,” “Knockout Number of times limited” “Mission Completion by Knockout,” and “Direct Use and Throwing of Melee Weapons.”
• Add a search function by creator, a search function by creation date, and a pagination function that displays 10 featured contracts at a time.
• I also hope for a fix to the disconnection error that occurs during contract searches on the PS version.
I expect several more updates to Contract Mode.
The current search method is insufficient to find all the content.
This is just an extra request, but I would also be happy if Ghost Mode was revived and more Sniper Assassin stages were added.

Well technically that’s not true, since it was already possible to complete “The Farewell” without killing any of the two targets :x
2 Likes
Well, the two targets still had to die. 47 didn’t have to off them himself, but they were still mandatory targets.
Although, i’m pretty sure you didn’t actually have to kill anyone in the Lust Deadly Sin mission so that may be the only other mission where there is no mandatory target that someone would have to kill.
Also do you actually have to kill anyone in Wrath? Can you just knock everyone out and win? I only really ever played that one once when it was released so I really don’t remember.

Lovely. Does IOI ever plan to address the unavailable weapons on the Freelancer wall because of their decision to delist the Disruptor pack? It’s not that hard to offer another pack just for weapons or replace the actor with an NPC. It’s been like a year now. I also think it’s kind of lazy they don’t make the alternate versions of maps available for Freelancer/contracts (like the holiday themed Paris).

Bruce Lee kills Concord’s boss in The Infiltrator if you don’t do it yourself, so it’s also a mandatory target.
(IIRC you could finish Lust without killing anyone but you could only get up to 4 stars by doing so. The only way to get 5 was to kill the intended “target” without killing anyone else. Which was insanely tedious x_x )

I never cared about stars or ratings so 4 stars would be perfectly acceptable to me. You’re right though in that the Concord Boss is still a target so the mission technically is not “non-kill”. It’s just designed to be completed without 47 actually doing the killing. Mendoza can be done that way too, and you can finish Carpathia (the train) without killing anyone too, including the Constant if you just give him the injection instead. There are a number of other missions where you can get away with not killing every target as well:
- The Kashmirian will kill both Vanya Shah and Dawood Rangan for you (but 47 needs to deal with the Maelstrom)
- You can make Robert Knox kill Sierra and then the robot kill Robert Knox in Miami
- Alexa will kill herself in Dartmoor (or Emma will kill her)
- Soders can be killed by the chief surgeon in Hokkaido
- Jordan Cross will kill Ken Morgan
- You can get Reynard to kill herself if you scare her
