📋 Unique NPCs or disguises in most Missions

I got to thinking about it and realized that there are at least one NPC or disguise that really stands apart from the others in almost all the missions. Some might be hostile in all or most areas. Here’s my list…

Freeform Training: Terry Norfolk
The Final Test: KGB Officer

Paris: Vampire Magician
Sapienza: Plague Doctor, the Mime and Hippie would be runners up.
Marrakech: The Fortune Teller (or the prisoner :thinking: )
Bangkok: The Super Fan
Colorado: The Scarecrow
Hokkaido: The Motorcyclist (the Ninja wouldn’t count in this instance - as cool as it is)

Hawke’s Bay: ?
Miami: The Pale Rider, (not the Flamingo in either shirt color)
Santa Fortuna: Taita!
Mumbai: The Holy Man
Whittleton Creek: Arkarian Robe Edit: Richard Wilson (aka) BBQ King :sweat_smile:
Ambrose Island: The Pirate disguise found in a chest (not Akka’s buddies)
Isle of Sgail: Burial Robes (Master of ceremonies and Knight would be runners up)
New York: Bunny/Bank Robber (or the Gold version :thinking: )
Haven Island: Boat captain

Dubai: Skydiving Suit
Dartmoor: The Private Investigator
Berlin: Florida Man (and this mission has a few other individual disguises)
Chongqing: (probably) Angus Pritchard (?)
Mendoza: Tango Musician(s)
Carpathian Mountains: ?


So why make this list? This struck me while thinking of contracts to make that have special themes. Taita and (the) Holy Man stood out when thinking of contracts for the Magic FC submissions. Then I got to thinking how it seems almost all missions have an unusual, whimsical, or special disguise that tends to stand out from any other disguise.

Is this worth a discussion? Probably not. Maybe some of you might disagree with some of my choices.

Re: Miami and “not the Flamingo in either shirt color”. While the Flamingo does ‘stand out’ as being unusual/whimsical, I don’t count it because it’s part and parcel of the mission given the event that’s taking place. I was almost going to choose it, but remembered the Pale Rider. Florida Man could count.

I’d say that the Street Performer stands out a lot, not only is it practically useless apart from Contracts and Chameleon (much like the Hippie), it will make Caruso go into Lockdown and flee in the plane if he sees 47 in it, just like the Plague Doctor disguise. (I also didn’t know the cut Mime disguise was going to be used for more than Paris, interesting info.)

I personally wouldn’t really count The Buccaneer since it’s a Suit (Yes, I realize that the Arkian Robe from Whittleton is also classed as a Suit, we’re ignoring that for now.), and would instead go with the Hippe disguise since it’s visually so different from other disguises in the mission.

I agree, though I think that the Snorkel Instructor would be a runner up, since it just serves no purpose unlike the rest of the disguises. (The exit could easily have been without the suit, like the skydiving exits in Dubai.)
(Yes, even Swimwear has a purpose, it lets you get the key to your hut if you started in a non-Suit Starting Location.)

I personally would go with the Asado Chef, but I get where you’re coming from.

I’d go with the Providence Doctor, not only does it have a very different color scheme, but it’s so useless compared to the others.

Edit: RE: “the Arkian Robe from Whittleton is also classed as a Suit, we’re ignoring that for now”

I would probably pick the Politician’s Assistant, it’s just so useless, and has a backpack with super weird attachment points. Although the Politician would be a runner up since the guy does not enforce his own outfit.

In Mendoza, there are many unique disguise. This map comes to my mind always if I try to make any unique specific contract - Chief Winemaker, Corvo Black, Head of Security and Sommelier. And that Lawer too.

Mr. Wilson “BBQ King” could probably qualify too. In fact, I’ll edit my OP.

And speaking of which (off-topic) Yesterday I found using a freecam mod that…

There is a copy of this NPC underneath the ground layer…

Who seems to face towards the secret bunker with the statue.

I was sticking mostly to the main missions but some of these are good choices too!

While not a “crazy” disguise, Corvo sure seems like a weirdo. :laughing:

Does Helmut Krueger count? It’s a really unique civilian disguise

What about that one guard who’s dressed as a chef? I can’t remember if it counts as an unique disguise or not

Forgot the Baseball Player in the Director’s Office.

For Miami I’d also include the Blue Seed driver disguise, which is unique and worn by only one NPC. It’s also notable since Blue Seed is not participating in the race and the driver is signing autographs in his own booth near the entrance, this NPC is kinda in its own corner and many players probably wouldn’t know he even existed if they didn’t set out to do the Chameleon challenge.

Would the Hawke’s Bay Wetsuit (in the locker room area past the winery barrel entrance) and 47’s Signature Suit (found in Don Yates’ room when doing the Herald meeting mission story, after you and Diana kill him together) count as that? Both are unique in that they’re both “your” suits but they can be found within the level proper

Dartmoor: Private Detective

Don’t forget you can also disguise yourself as Aron Ford Jr (the lawyer in the second floor).

Also for some Bonus Missions:

  • Landslide: Salvatore Bravuomo Outfit

  • PZ The Author: Craig Black’s outfit (notable example of dressing up as one of your targets)

  • The Drop ET: the unique Alexios Bodyguard disguise

Good question…

I just realized that the Pointman would be a good 2nd place (after the scarecrow) for the fact he’s the only disguise that lets you legally carry a sniper rifle.

I almost considered the tactical wetsuit, but that and the other could be worn by the player during the mission planning phase. In fact, one of the casual Black suits (with no tie) lets you up to the Villa property. The Requiem Suit allows you to use the shrine as an exit… But these 2 can’t be found in the mission.
