Playing Dartmoor in Offline mode today on my Steam Deck (because despite having the wi-fi password for the jury waiting area at the courthouse, their IT has disabled wi-fi users making connections to Steam).
Only realised just now that the Permanent Shortcuts are reset back to Closed on every playthrough of the H3 missions, presumably as they are linked to Challenges which aren’t available in Offline mode. Plus (as I found out on Monday) there is no scoring/ranking done at the end of each mission in Offline mode.
Just a couple more reasons for me to repeat my well-worn mantra that despite thinking the WoA trilogy is the best Hitman experience ever created, if IOI don’t flesh out the Offline mode to be much more fully featured before the time that support for H3 ends, then we should riot and make them feel the pain in their sales numbers for future titles. Still time for them to not screw this up, but the clock is ticking.
The shortcuts also close in contracts mode, it really chokes out your making or playing.
In the contracys mode when playing, there open but not when your making.
I believe this is done to ensure that players making contracts with shortcuts unlocked are forced to consider those without any unlocked. Not that it would make too much of a difference outside navigation concerns.
If you knock all 5 original guard who escorting Diana before proceeding with “Closing Statement” mission story ( except Cortazar because he needed in the mission story, knock him out after timer start) and wait until the timer is over before eliminate Yates, other guard will take responsibility to eliminate Diana in unexpected way.
It may ruin some timing things, eg waiting for a target to walk under a chandelier or something, as you’ll have to wait for their whole route again to do it.
Just found out u can sit down in this couch in the living room of the villa in haven. The prompt doesnt appear in instinct or have any white highlight for me
The previous boosts to the Lab Technician disguise have been so hard to pull, but, with the changes H3 provided us, I managed to pull off a new boost to the oob of The Icon! Yay!
Yes the Lab Technician is available, it’s the dead Lab Technician in the Church’s Morgue, and the way I got back in is another boost from Rocco’s Balcony with a briefcase I threw to 47’s Balcony earlier, another breacher, and a brick, and yes, there is a single brick in the map, so I had to go and pick that up prior to the original boost.
I was messing around in the Icon (or maybe it was in ET Arcade) and there was a guard that I KO’d, took his disguise, he then got woke up… And was holding his gun since Bosco was under lockdown. He had this weird line that didn’t meet up with his head portion, and you could see through it.
I’ll have to KO this guard and see if he’s Frankenstein’s monster.
The giant globe in the attic of Paris is destructible. It’s in the room where there is one guard walking around a bit and another playing with his tablet on the couch and the overly convenient spanner in on the table for you. I just knocked a guard out and he fell into the globe destroying it.
I need to try that out! Nice find!
