(PS4 only)
Changes to Existing Features
Unconscious targets can now be dumped into body containers that allow the player to then kill them. For example, unconscious targets can now be dumped in the shredder and acid containers in the World of Tomorrow mission. Sorry, Silvio.
Adjusted the design of the surveillance system so that all cameras are linked on a global system within the mission. All cameras are now connected to all recorders in a mission and if a player disables one recorder, all cameras no longer record 47.
Changes to how the ICA Remote Audio Distraction item functions. This item now attracts the attention of other characters only if is remotely activated, as intended. Previously, it would attract attention as soon as it was equipped. NPCs become suspicious of the device if 47 is carrying it or they discover it.
Changes to how the Remote Breaching Charge item functions. This item now has a small, lethal explosive radius.
The Featured Contracts order has been 'reversed', so that the newest Contracts are shown first when viewing the list.
Elusive Target status is now only shown on the Featured Hub for the duration of the contract. The game will no longer permanently remind you that you failed an Elusive Target.
Updated the Escalation Contract Briefing page to show the newest objective/complication first, on the left side. You no longer need to scroll to the right to see the newly added complication.
Updated some of the Challenge descriptions to reflect that you can still erase evidence after being recorded.
Fixes for Existing Issues
General stability improvements across all platforms
Fixed a handful of issues that could lead to dips in performance in Marrakesh.
Fixed an issue that could result in 47 being spotted through the walls in a closed room in the markets during the A Gilded Cage mission.
Fixed an issue where guards in the hunting state would know exactly where 47 was located after a crime had been reported to them by a civilian. Now, guards will investigate the area where the civilian witnessed the crime, and not where 47 is currently located.
Fixed an issue where using a syringe with the Silent Attack prompt would result in other characters reacting to the action. This action is now silent, as intended.
Fixed an issue that could cause some decals to not appear in the Final Test mission
Fixed rare issues that could cause opportunities in Paris to not update.
Fixed an issue where dragging bodies could result in 47 hands shaking unnaturally.
Fixed an issue where the complication timer during Escalation Contracts could skip a second, i.e going from 17 seconds remaining to 15 seconds remaining.
Following a scoring fix, leaderboards for all story missions, Escalation contracts, Sarajevo Six contracts (PS4) and Featured Contracts have been reset.
