You can buy each episode individually but it will cost you more in the long run.
I use the gun a lot
rarely to actually kill people
. Almost every accident stuff can be activated with a simple shot instead of trying to find tools and stuff. Even the electric puddle stuff can be done this way.Guns are also a amazing way to distract people
Furthermore, you can knockdown people with guns if you shoot from far away. Not knockout them, but if you headshot them from far enough away they will just fall to the ground for some seconds. When they are up again they will be hostile, but it can be useful in a couple of places if you are close enough to the exit.

Go into the room?
Pff
Just shoot the recording equipment from far away with the silenced gun
that...makes so much sense.
dammit, I need to use the gun more. I pretty much only end up using the gun like the fiber wire, coming up behind someone and using eliminate.

Haven't been reading the thread for the last 10-20 pages, but what's the reasoning for people thinking Paris is too NPC heavy? I thought it kind of fit the whole lore of the level given that it's an enormous private party imo.
I haven't been able to sink as much time into Hitman yet as I'd like because of my job. Maybe I'm missing something?

I totally forgot to check out if you can still fire the gun to distract NPCs. In Absolution I would fire the silenced pistol to direct NPCs to specific locations to sneak past them when doing suit only runs.

It's not that it makes any less sense lore-wise, it's just that The Final Test feels a bit more controlled because it's a bit less dense. The reason I'm looking forward to Sapienza is because it looks like it'll be much more spread out.

You mean
from the room with the sheikh to the laptop room? Climbing around seems the best way. Other things can just be done sneaking around the hallway if you disable the camera system first when starting in the basement.

Used the dongle on Dalia's laptop and her assistant has had the same walk in and notice it scene about 4 times. Meanwhile Dalia walks in and out of an inactive auction room with no reaction. Anybody else had stuff like this happen?

getting to and away from the sheik seems to be the best way as well, it just takes so damn long

I just had an update for the game on Xbox One. Is IO kind to us and have they removed the online only nonsense?
Nope. Doesn't seem like it. So what was changed/fixed?

What am I missing with Paris escalation missions? All I had access to were missions where you sneak around the attic in the vampire outfit killing guards. Is there something else I'm missing?
edit: My fault. Never saw the Mandelbulb missions.
edit: My fault. Never saw the Mandelbulb missions.
I still haven't gotten the Escalating the Situation challenge, even though I've now completed all 15 escalations of the three missions available. That's frustrating, especially for how slow XP comes once you get up to the higher mastery levels. I also feel like I should have Chameleon by now, unless disguises equipped in Escalation mode don't count towards the total.
What are all the disguises?
-Palace staff
-Security
-Bodyguard
-Auction staff
-Cheff
-Hairdresser
-Kruger
-Sheik
-Vampire
Am I missing one?

So since the last update, none of the gear unlocked from mastery shows their icons, only a little buffer wheel. Anybody else like that?

Yup, on PS4. Same shit. Lost my preorder bonus items too.

Really annoying. Was hoping a patch would be out by now...IO say anything about it?

I think that's all of them. I can't think of any others, at least.
Also if you need help getting to level 20 mastery, keep knocking off the assassination challenges. Most of those award like 5k xp, should let you hit 20 without much problem.

Kept trying to do the In Plain Sight challenge and kept getting disconnected immediately after clicking to shoot. Ugh.

Yeah, official Twitter says they're working to restore the lost preorder items.

I think "10 escalations" means 10 full sets of escalations, not 10 individual levels within escalations.
Also, I would assume Chameleon requires you to wear all disguises within one playthrough?

no, but you have to finish a run after you wore one for it to count

Just be warned that costumes worn from a loudout don't count. I didn't know what I was missing the chef until I got one within a mission.

I almost have a heart attack every time I run into a tripwire
i am sweating right now
Same thing here, hahahaha.
It's $10 per location. They've confirmed six more.
They have not stated if each location is just one mission/map, yet.
Moff
Member
yes 1 map per expansion, the next one is sapienza and after that morocco in it's swedish embassy, some of it can be seen in the season trailer
that looks gorgeous and massive. So excited to see what surprises await in this level.
That glitch mob trailer got me hiffie as fuck.

You got 9. There are 10.
Tech crew member, the AV guys on second floor have them.

absolutely, I mean sapienza seems to be a whole town
and now after paris, I have no doubt that it will be filled with tons of amazing opportunities
this is shaping up to be the best hitman game, easily, and one of my favourite games in years
Is there some kind of trick to the challenge to
Trying to do it as part of a SO,SA run. My steps so far.
But every time I've tried, the challenge never pops up. Do I have to manually aim and shoot her? Do I have to shoot her in a specific situation?
assassinate Dalia with a silenced pistol after meeting her as Mr. Reaper?

-Grab invitation
-Get cleared to go upstairs
-Shimmy up pipe from 2nd floor to keep my guns
-Sit down for auction start
-Dalia comes and talks to me, then goes into her rotation
-Sneak into Dalia's bathroom, turn radio on, knock out guard
-Dalia comes into the room, talks with guard
-At some point Dalia walks into bathroom,
-Walk up and do the pistol execution takedown, hide body

Seeing a handful of contracts and whatnot wanting a service staff disguise, and the contract is usually on the 2nd floor where they're not wanted. How are people handling that? Just playing it like a suit run, just dressed like a waiter? Knocking a shitload of people out with a better disguise and going back for the waiter gear? I figured there must be some sort of trick or gimmick I'm missing (otherwise why bother with the requirement anyway if it's no different than suit?).

Do you reload between the time she talks to you and shooting her? Then it won't trigger. I did
Reaper starting point, so you're already at the auction. Sneak into bathroom from the window. Turn on radio. Take out guard. Wait for Dalia and friend to enter. Shoot both.

I followed her
out to the patio bar, stood in the adjacent room and shot her in the head while she was at the bar
I'd imagine the execution counts as a different kill type rather than the firearm specific kill.
Oh. Well shit. I wish the game would surface rules like that.

I am also loving the escalation type of mission. But i am hoping that some of these levels include emerging target opportunities if you explore and listen.
I have the opportunity tracker off... so i have to make sense of what to do after i listen to a conversation. Which makes it a hundred times more satisfying. Hopefully, with later additions they can add targets that might be of interest, and unlock different things.
You are also absolutely right tho.. this is shaping up to be the best Hitman in my book as well. I am having so much fun with it, and i feel encouraged to keep replying the game. The options to how to do things are insane.
It's pretty easy to sneak in the second floor, most rooms are generally empty and only have a couple of people there.
But yeah, it's pretty much the same as a suit run for the most part (except that you can get to the staircase to the second floor more easily)
That's the plan.
One episode monthly until autumn was their claims.
Assume they do one episode per month without delays, we're getting a new location every month until September, when the last one drops.
And then Season 2 next year, if I was a betting man.

They've confirmed the Japan episode will be set in Tokyo. It was originally planned to end the season, but I think they're going to simply make an Epilogue chapter.
They did imply the game absolutely ends with no conclusions, though, so they need to build up that cliffhanger.
