LONG BRIEFCASE LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[Heisenberg]

Interesting tuxedo. Wonder if it comes with gloves. It doesn’t always specify unless it’s an updated variant.

[Dribbleondo]

Oh that’s…unexpected!

Well, okay, the theme was entirely expected, but the actual release of the roadmap wasn’t!

Curious to know what I have to do to get that briefcase unlock.

Timeless Tuxedo suit looks like a partial reskin of the one Don Yates wears in Mendoza.

[lukefsje]

To get the briefcase, you need to complete any main mission Silent Assassin Suit Only while also eliminating the targets with a sniper rifle.

[thrison]

Oh fuck off…

[Swangtheugly]

well that’s a whole lotta nothing

edit: but it looks like it’s a mini season that’s just for the month of May so that’s fine I suppose.

[Heisenberg]

What? All you gotta do is the thing most were already gonna do anyway.

[Dribbleondo]

It is a bit disappointing as things go. A whole lotta re-runs and a minor suit reskin.

Literally the best thing about this is the long briefcase.

[lukefsje]

Seems like they did this because they don’t want to spoil whoever the next Celeb ET is now. I’d assume that’s coming on May 26 since the Celeb ETs seem to be running back-to-back

[Swangtheugly]

given this season is a just a “mini season” cause of the release of first light, not terribly upset by the whole thing. just wish there was more new to tie in to the release rather than need to buy first light to unlock a suit in HITMAN.

[Bitterball]

The long briefcase looks nice.

(Also, it is really easy to unlock considering that one chongqing mission story.)

[Swangtheugly]

@lukefsje

And finally, owning 007 First Light unlocks the Timeless Tuxedo Suit in Hitman

Yea but, do you have to launch 007 first light to unlock it or does IOI give it immediately after purchase

[Axwage]

All right so now in order to have everything in Hitman, you need to own another game too.

Not that I’m not already going to do that, but it’s still absolute bullshit corpo synergy scumminess.

[RotaryOliver]

The briefcase is nice, especially because it eliminates the animation completely!
Would be nice to have in freelancer! (Add it to the list of freelancer updates we’ll never get)

A very light roadmap this time though, most likely because of First Lights release next month.

[Dribbleondo]

Also Hokkaido. Soders can be killed in any fashion, and Yamizake can be isolated with the sauna.

[Joseph]

A new set of FC is in game.

[thrison]

The Casino Chip Twitch Drop goes live in five minutes FYI. In case anyone needs it.

@IOI_Artjoms Are the IOI Account rewards meant to be time limited like the roadmaps imply they are? This post on reddit a couple of days ago has someone saying they got the Casino Suit then, so are they permanently live or was it just a bug it was given out early?

[Dribbleondo]

A demonstration:

[Steven_Jones]

Happy to see the deceivers here it will be nice to play the mission with a load out again

io this is a nudge to add a new elusive target arcade with the deceivers with load out and the fixer too

Also does anyone know if I have to do anything in particular for the io account unlock I already have linked my account together so do I need to manually go to the website or anything?

And I’ve never gotten a twitch reward unlock because idk how to link my account together so if anyone can help that would be amazing
