nice. i appreciate it! can you put up some pics of it if you have a chance? just to get some quality of the overall statue. Pretty much the only reason i want the CE. I would look to pick it up for cheaper.

They should add a flak jacket as one of the upgrades.
start on ruins, pick up Sniper, snipe both them as quickly as you can then run to the boat
I actually used the worse one, the one with the better zoom actually fucks up my fast aiming because you can be pointing at the wrong place when you make it zoom, fucking it up and needing to readjust.

Hmm. I haven't had time to unlock the ruins starting point yet or I'd be trying that right now.
And, yes, it's great to have a reason to start using loud guns all over the levels.
Seems like Marrakesh should be where armor mechanics are introduced, since there are soldiers all over the place.

I am getting horrible performance in this game (DX11, 2K resolution). It's a real disappointment having to knock it back down to 1080p.

Well I bought a premium account to watch Brad and Dan play Hitman.
It's just that damn entertaining. They better do the whole series.
It's just that damn entertaining. They better do the whole series.
So, regarding the bug I had yesterday, I can confirm it's not a bug: simply when I reloaded a save, I loaded the wrong one, so I lost my completed opportunity (in fact that had no description). I did it again and it worked.
But I can also confirm the game has some problems with the save, now other users are reporting it too.
In example sometimes when I toss a coin, load a save in the exact same place and toss another coin in the opposite direction, the guard will look at the first "ghost" coin I tossed, even if on the ground there's nothing.
I have also another issue: no matter what, I can't get the "a camera recorded you" notification.
Even if I'm in front of a camera, it never show me the message, but clearly it records me since I have the malus in the stats screen.

Yup. I think that is the case. That would be a real shit thing.
Completely agree. I got it used/damaged packing for about 70 USD. Also I can everything that this post signs, or book is bare-bones but kind of neat. The real value comes from the tie being a neat fan peace, along with the pretty cool clip even though I I find it to be a little bit too big. But the actual statue is probably the best that I've ever seen so far from a game collectors edition. It's a really cool pose, and a really cool quality. It's the reason that I wanted to pick up the collectors edition, and for 70 I feel like that alone would've been worthwhile for me.
And Marrakesh as well. It's only three weeks left...

Regarding elusive contracts, I'm not sure I fully understand.
So, will you have to click on the elusive contract part on the home screen to play it or will it be a part of the Sapienza map in general and when you play it, one random time - the target will appear?
When you do, from what I understand, the target will not be "red" or marked on the map. Correct?
But if so, he (or she) will remain on the map the entire time for that 1 game play though, right? As long as you don't die, he won't...say...just leave 10 minutes into it, right?
And if you fail to get him in that one play through, that's it, no more chances, ever? Like forever ever? Just picturing a scenario where I have an emergency where I have to leave my house or the power goes out or some shit.
How will we know who the elusive target is, will we even see a pic of him/her? Or do we have to maybe listen in on some conversations or something? If we kill anyone else on the map, like thinking this is the target, bam, oops no it wasn't - is the game then over?

They will be a standalone mission, like the Escalations or a standard Contract. Instinct & saves will be disabled and the target will not be marked on the map.
If they ever release I'm sure each contract will be different, some might be on a timer and some not, but I'm expecting most of them to be available as long as you're in the level and don't alert them. If you fail the mission then that's it, they're gone forever. If you have a power cut then you've lost your chance. Servers go out again, lost your chance. If you alert them and they escape you've lost your chance. 1 shot is all you get, unless they've changed it due to poor server performance.
About a week ago the intro videos for 2 contracts leaked. I didn't watch them but it sounds like we'll get a picture of the target and some sort of explanation of their behavior so we can spot them (to differentiate between similar models on the map). Again, each one will probably be different.

1080p. Though I might have some bottle-necking with an older processor. i7 960.

Thanks. Cant wait, challenge accepted.
The new sniper Escalation is fun, if a bit too easy as long as you have the ruins unlocked as a starting location and smuggle box. Literally a 2-minute mission each run, if that. The upgraded rifle with 2x zoom helps a great deal.
I hope we get some screens or a trailer for Marakesh soon, either RPS or PCGamer had a preview that made it sound really cool.

I just started/smuggled into the apartment and it was just as easy. Walk onto the rooftop straight out the back door and headshot them both from there.

That's awesome. I love little touches like these and they act as little rewards for people who like to replay levels / explore / try new things.

What if elusive targets already are in the game but we didn't find them yet.

Did it involve luring her under one? I watched her go down there twice but I think she never walks under one on her own.
She walks through the door to the lab the door has one above it
That's what I did too, once you get to the roof it takes 5 seconds to kill both of them and then it's just a jog to the car.

yeah i could never get francesa to naturally walk under a stalactite either, if you shoot her in the arm or whatever she will "run away" underneath two but the timing on it is pretty difficult, or maybe I just didn't find a great spot to be in where you can shoot both her and a stalactite without getting gunned down by security. I frankly just got lucky in shooting one while she happened to be running away underneath it.
I realized after I finished the challenge another way to probably do it is to knock her out (take out her two guards first), then just drag her body underneath a stalagtite. You'd have to clear out a big chunk of the lab area though first, sounds like a lot of work.
It actually would be pretty funny to entirely clear out the lab area, destroy the virus, and then watch her come down. You'd think she would notice NOBODY around the entire area, but I'm betting she just does her scripted normal thing.

How do you get 200,000+ score on The Szilassi Darkness? I assume you need the 20,000 for no bodies found. Fastest I have been able to do it (gets me to around 199,000) is to:
Anyone have a faster method w/no bodies found? I have an alternate version at ruins but that is still around 1:20 199,000. I think to get a 200,000+ score you need to kill both targets in under a minute... oye!
Start in hideout. Grab rifle. Go out to rooftop. Shoot below the stairs on left of watchtower to get 1st target to start moving down there (for no body found), rotate right and plug the 2nd target on the pier, rotate back left as the 1st target arrives at stairs and drop him, slide down the pipe and sprint to the boat. I can do this in around 1:20

Congrats! Didn't stalactite kill other people in lab though?

Nope, those 2 guys standing beside it are unharmed, at least according to the score, since I never hang around to check out the aftermath.
Start on ruins, get sniper, snipe both targets immediatelg and go back to the boat. The bodies found function isn't working properly so this works.

Are we sure it's not working properly? It seems like it just registers a little later than you actually see the text.
Maybe it takes time for the NPC finding the body to report it... But I'm already overthinking the logic of a game where you can set off explosions just before leaving the level and have no bodies found.
No need to lure her. After talking with the scientists at the control panel, she will enter the lab. You can drop a stalactite just before she enters it.
Definitely a bug. You can shoot either of the story targets with a silverballer and you won't get bodies found even if their bodyguard see the body.
The explosions ones make sense, because it takes a fraction of a second for enemies to notice bodies, but if you exit before that you're fine. As of now the game basically any kill won't have bodies found even if the notice appears. (This seems to be tied to the weapons you use for the kill. I believe that some weapons aren't affected by this bug but im not sure which ones)
Remembrance

The thing is, I do the safehouse route in Szilassi, and I was getting no bodies found when I was able to exit by car. But running all the way to a boat to exit made me lose the no bodies found bonus.
So there is definitely a threshold when the body counts as found for real. I have yet to have a run where the body is never "found" even half an hour later, though.

Yep.
Unfortunately she doesn't actually pause to swipe a card because NPCs don't need to (they really should fix that...) so you have to get the timing right, but the splash damage is pretty large.

Never noticed here (I think). Try to get a picture of it next time.
They have their own tabs in the game, and neither have had any addition to the game yet.

Has anyone successfully killed everyone in Paris or La Sapienza yet?
I don't mean every one of the targets, I mean EVERYONE.
I wanna try and role play as a mass murderer attempting to pick off an entire town. Be as stealthy as I can for as long as I can and then use guns when absolutely necessary.
Would this even work? Are there a finite number of NPCs in a level?
