Yeah for sure, but I would have figured that after Colorado someone would have gone back and tried it. It's kinda crazy to me that in 2016 it took a couple months for this to be found.
Still super cool, though!

I think these things basically get found at the whim of the developers being in the mood to post hints on Hitmanforum. I remember following the thread where IO was posting image hints for the Sapienza crypt easter egg... and it still took days to figure out what they meant.
Also, consider that no one has found a single proper easter egg in Paris yet.
That is the weirdest thing of all now.

I just checked that easter eggs thread again, and found someone's upload of... some audio from the game files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK_vEdKHaB4
This is the only lead on anything being potentially hidden in Paris, and no one has any idea as to how or if this can be triggered.

Cool. Using this video to help to tweak something we are working on for a future update.
I think you do. It is a hard one to crack. But let's wait a bit
Oh god are you guys going to patch civilians not being able to be suspicious of you when there's a alarm/explosions going on? Please don't ruin me ahahah
Does it involve shooting stuff to activate ?I think you do. It is a hard one to crack. But let's wait a bit

I'm not sure about that. This is part of a little bigger thing. I'll say no more

Nope, not this one!
Ahahaha, I shall wait and see what the December update brings. I just hope my crazy methods don't get patched outI'm not sure about that. This is part of a little bigger thing. I'll say no more
Nope, not this one!
Also, interesting about the easter egg. I assume it will have something to do with doing certain actions with some of the unique disguises (motorcyclist, ninja,baseball player)

Not for December.
And I think this easter egg can be done in whatever suit you want

What are you doing to the first 2 doctors? You shoot them in the leg and they are put to sleep?
I was trying to get fancy with SASO on that one like having him land on
a punctured fire extinguisher
climb into his trailer from the top and kill him when he comes in.

He shoots them in the leg so they fall down, then he knocks them out.

I miss having your sniper rifle in a briefcase. It added a lot of tension and I enjoyed not just having the gun strapped to your back like in this.
Nuts. This is nuts.
Ugh I just failed the new Elusive. Super salty about it. Just spend an hour+ tracking her and laying out a plan. Feels like I just wasted a whole lot of time.
God damn super salty right now.
Changed to guard, leaving my waiter disguise in the shisha bathroom, picked up my sniper rifle at the pickup, went upstairs to the little rooftop just next to the shisha bathroom pipe. Waited and waited and fucking waited for her to rock up and stand completely still. Shot and killed her cleanly. Get the 'compromised' message. Cool, no worries, I'll just climb down the pipe and immediately change back into the waiter, as planned.
Climb down the pipe, immediately guards burst through the door and shoot me to death. What the fuck! How do they know exactly where I am jesus. I'm like a second away from completely getting away with it.

Shoot them in the leg so they don't see me, and knocking them out with a punch after that.

You can be compromised and still get SA?
Man I do not understand the criteria in this game at all
yeah I don't get that either. It says crime noticed and he's compromised but still get "never spotted"
Yes you can. You will notice that will happen when knocking someone out from the front or when knocking them out at a distance when they are looking on your general direction. This because they don't actually spot you before you take them out, even if they know someone did take them out.
Crime noticed is not related to being spotted. ( You can fire a fun somewhere close to civil NPCs, they will notice the gunshot but they haven't seen that you were the one shooting. Similar happens here. The second dude knows someone got shot, but he gets knocked over before seeing me)

This has been the ultimate speedrunner trick for a while. See this SA/SO, SMG-only video for Sapienza for how groundbreaking it was a few months ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJoJNJLNX58
I'm going to borrow the definitive explanation of this from a speedrunner because I can't say I've ever tried it myself: https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/5dy26j/compromised_never_spotted_bonus_other_stuff/
Dude. That's legit. Well done.

I'm still trying to understand what happened.
Activate fireworks so Novikov comes to the back, Dalia goes to the terrace to watch the fireworks, as well as making the guards of the helicopter watch the fireworks too so they won't see you>Throw duck to where Novikov will be, and he will pick it up > Noise maker in the outside of that room where I've thrown it will make Dalia's bodyguard that uses to be next to the gas lamp to come down to the second floor>destroy duck to kill Novikov, shoot Gas lamp twice to blow Dalia up with an accident.

The basic strategy has been the same since April (when it was possible to get under 40 seconds): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9kZY_JyMOI Bernardo has been pushing the limits of trespassing and firing a gun without being spotted.
- Starting the fireworks immediately makes Dalia go out on the balcony and sends Viktor towards the back stairs (remember that he starts upstairs, not on the ground floor, without his bodyguard following him yet).
- Dalia is blown up by shooting the gas heater. The audio distraction is thrown to get a guard next to the gas heater to move away from the explosion. (it works across floors as long as the sound reaches; gunshot distractions being severely reduced in range led to this slower strategy)
- Viktor can be blown up any time after he picks up the duck left in his path, as long as you know he's not in sight of anyone and you can exit before he is found.

Amazing, thanks!
God damnit....
Just started playing this,i completed all the challenges on the first 2 levels and now i've just finished Paris for the first time and holy shit this game is awesome, I can see myself spending so many hours into all the missions, the level of details is INSANE.
I've a question though: on the menu i see that there is a contract with a timer on (48 hours) and that it takes place in a location that i've not seen yet, should i try to do it or is there something spoilery for me since i haven't seen that location yet?

Nothing spoilery but I would recommend playing the level a few times first because if you die in the elusive you cannot restart.
ok,thanks for answering!

Master Sniper Pack is up. Someone report on how the new rifle is after finishing it?
