SONKO Challenges

I’d like to claim SONKO #74, assuming that it’s available. I enjoyed creating this contract, so I hope you enjoy playing it. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you don’t, as I’m probably not the best at contract making! Dubai only has one contract at the moment, so I thought I’d make it equal with Mendoza.
There’s only one cleaver and pair of scissors on the map, both of which are close to each other. As for the letter opener, you’ll be able to find one near both Aziz and Jamil (just in case you forget to pick up the other one).

Locations for recreation

Aazaad Aziz cycles from the chair in this image to following this arrow toward a railing.

Nimah Jamil is the staff member being told to not use her radio.

Lata Acharya tends to the Black Gold bar.

This is the issue I had on #73.

I can’t tell if it’s bugged down there, an NPC seeing through a wall, or the guard spotting me. But, if I kill him, it still kills my SA.

Brutal

By the time I entered the ICA Facility I just took my time.

Great use of bullet distractions to get NPCs where you want them!

There are some spots in the Data Facility where NPCs can see through walls. I reported it in the Bug Report thread back in February, but I don’t think IOI has fixed it yet. That may have been your issue previously.

Though you do know you can also get in the security guard room by skimming along the edge, right?

Yes, if my apple didn’t distract him, I would have went that route. I didn’t even think he’d react to an object thrown there + peekaboo lol.

And thanks IRT the bullet distractions, I learned from the best (@HITMANIST )

Well, well, well… This could be fun. Finally, a use for all my suits.

This one took me 30 minutes to figure out, but I finally got it.

HITMA３ SONKO Challenge #74 (linux_penguin) NO LOADOUT - YouTube(5:55)

linux_penguin · April 6, 2021, 10:13am

That was an impressive run, well done!

ColdDayInHell · April 6, 2021, 3:26pm

Ummmm… FW is a loadout item

/s

Awesome run, I love no loadout playthroughs.

I wish that was a optional complication.

Here’s my speed(ish)runs for:
SONKO #69 by Freezer
SONKO #72 by Euler
SONKO #12 by Franz
I also completed #19, but I raged a bit trying to get a good time on it and I must have forgotten to capture it, which is a shame. I’ll also put my run of my own #74 on this reply once I’ve captured it.
Sorry for accidentally replying to your comment, ColdDayInHell

ColdDayInHell · April 15, 2021, 12:50am

This is the fastest I can do this one, I haven’t seen a faster one posted yet.

ColdDayInHell · April 15, 2021, 12:53am

If I’m allowed to create the next one, where would everyone want it to be?

Location for next challenge

Sapienza
Whittleton Creek
Berlin
Dubai
Miami

0 voters

My picks would be either Berlin or Miami as I don’t see many there.

Damn, I found a nice Miami route but Berlin it is.

In terms of main maps, Bangkok, Whittleton Creek, Dubai, and Mendoza currently have the least number of SONKOs.
