Because the puzzle is how to specifically get Nokadota’s Bodyguard outfit after making him fall. If pacifications were allowed, you could just knock out some other bodyguard and take his outfit, and this would just be a regular contract.

Made my first Mendoza contract. Hope you like it.

Got the contract done SA in 2.44. Can probably done under 2 mins as I usually chicken out and playing it save.
So I manage to eliminate Royce, Bolt, Hush and that poor guy Casale. All SA! Only takes me half an hour. Then I see ol’ Sharon went ‘screw this’ and starts smoking through her mask, right in the middle of the crowd (like she’s needed here, she got fired ten minutes ago!!!). I was going to try and do some magic with a propane flask, but I used the only one on Hush!!!
As such, I try and do some magic with a car battery, but no.
Someone can see through their umbrellas and could see me shoot the battery, which didn’t even zap anyone!!!
My policy is if I lose SA over 10 minutes into a contract, I never play it again, but it is indeed an extremely painful contract, well done.
Quite sure this is a bug, if you read the description of the complication it still says if it instant fails or not

I’m sorry/happy that it was a painful contract! This contract seems damn near impossible because of the fact that Sharon is intended to be crushed by the disco ball, but like, I’m not sure why she goes back! Maybe some wizard out there will find a route.

(Just for you, @Adil15101 
)
But I don’t know if SA is actually possible, because as noted by @linux_penguin, Sharon Reed decides to go join the crowd outside the entrance to the Data Facility. Like, bitch, you’ve been fired, keep your ass in the karaoke lounge.
This contract would’ve been slick if she stayed put. But even if I blast her with the Sieker before initiating the core shutdown, she’ll still wander over to the crowd instead of going back to the karaoke lounge.
Once she’s in the crowd, she’s extremely difficult to move. If I could get her isolated away from the crowd, I might have a shot with the propane flask. But Sharon won’t respond to emetics. She won’t run off in panic at the sound of an explosion or gunshot. She might panic if she sees a dead body… but of course that won’t get SA. Ugh… I miss the electrocution phone.
The safest way to get both Hush and Royce in contracts like this is to shoot out the 7 drones and get them to meet on the Lotus bridge, where you can kill them both by shooting the gas canister when they’re both right next to it. That should at least allow you to save the only propane flask for someone else.

We could get a lot of people on it, but the only idea I have is to make her throw up, quickly dash to the data core and start the meltdown, run back up, poison Sharon again, kill Jeremy, take his stuff, and stall Sharon with literally everything possible, grab the propane task and blow up Sharon. (drown her? idk)
Hehe, this contract is puzzling.

Haha I deleted my comment because the pic didn’t include the “no pacifications” complication. I later saw it mentioned in the paragraph below and was like nope, not this again xD
But thanks anyway for re-creating the contract lol

Good one, mate. I really hated, but also at the same time, respected the fact that you made sure I can’t use the Seiker on this contract. But I’ll be honest, I did use the emetic gas device to save time. So, I did stick true to the title at least, if not the description

I’ll be making one-time assignments to resolve my burnout for Queen’s Gambit! Special Assignment 1 takes you to Colorado! Read the briefing below!
Objectives:
- Eliminate Joshua Trumbo
- Eliminate Tyler Gordon
- Retrieve and extract Joshua Trumbo’s phone
Full Briefing:
Good morning, 47. Welcome to a remote apricot farm in Colorado, a front for a militia operation conducted by terrorist Sean Rose.You have two targets today, Joshua Trumbo and Tyler Gordon. A pair of friends since their sophomore year of high school, the two were a pair of “super-nerds” with a knack of cybernetic technology. Attending the esteemed Cornell University in New York, Trumbo and Gordon both got various degrees in technological kinesiology.
However, both targets have a knack for chaos. They desire to harm the weak, and their inferiority complex starts today. Trumbo and Gordon have infiltrated the militia farm and are gathering information on multiple blueprints from the farm. These blueprints cannot be distributed to the public like how Tyler Gordon plans on doing, or else the word would go up in flames.
Aerial intel has spotted Joshua and Tyler wandering the main house to the northwest side of the compound. Many VIPs have been spotted on-site, such as Sean Rose, Penelope Graves and Ezra Berg, so there are additional guards present. Each guard, including one of your targets, are trained to easily defend themselves, so tread carefully.
Our client, rival technology corporation Hamilton-Lowe, also request the retrieval of Joshua Trumbo’s phone, placed somewhere in the compound. This low-level kinesologist has already taken pictures of many blueprints throughout the compound, and is waiting for his accomplice to extract one more piece of data out of ex-Interpol analyst Penelope Graves.
This is our window of opportunity. Good luck, 47.

Here’s a little puzzle contract for those who aren’t aware of all of the little tricks that the Sgail helipad area alone provides. I originally intended to put a no pacifications complication, so if you think this is too easy then you may want to have a go with that? Hope that some of you have a look at it!

@linux_penguin Sounded interesting and I like the “intertwine their fates” aspect so remade it on PS4, id: 2-21-2803498-37
I didn’t even know about the drowning spot there, I also assume luring Ross to the gibet was how you did it and I’m not missing anything more obvious, since he doesn’t take guns to the box in the main building or go to the toilets there to throw up unless you’ve already lured him close enough to the gibet to just do that.

Yeah, that’s the most consistent way to do it. As for the drowning spot, the original drowning target was the raider drinking the beer in the other room, but in a way it’s good that he didn’t go to the bathroom as otherwise I wouldn’t have learnt about that spot!

I think these ones are pretty decent. I originally was going to have 5 targets, but I realized that probably would have gone too far, and be way too difficult for an SA/SO (god knows I was having trouble setting it up in Contract creation). So, I split them into two which was wayyy easier to manage.

This one should be fairly easy. The targets are in relatively empty public areas. Easy to lure.

These targets have some pretty extravagant suits. They may require some sneaky luring, and are located in fairly populated public areas or trespassing areas.
recreation
Lucy is at the Black Gold bar, Sato is enjoying the balcony party, Cindy is in the staff meeting room.
Show these targets the true meaning of the word ‘style’ with these two contracts centered on eliminating these eye-catching outfits. Wear your best threads and silently eliminate them all.

Nice! That’s very slick use of the emetics to get everyone away from the railing so you can safely push Nokadota off it and grab his outfit. I can only imagine how many attempts you had to do to get this one right!
That’s not actually what I had in mind when I created this contract, though. The solution I was intending - and the reason I called it “Nokadota’s Privilege” to harken back to “Vatican Privilege” - was to push Nokadota off the railing at the cable car, use the out-of-bounds trick to get his outfit, and then there’s a spot where you can get back into the normal map afterwards.
I show what I did to get his outfit in the video below. I stop it right afterward, since killing the remaining four targets is almost trivial from that point.
I actually found this trick trying to make a “Curator’s Privilege” contract, but unfortunately making the Curator commit suicide is a non-target kill, unlike Jeremy Bolt, so that one’s impossible to make and complete with a 5-star SA.
I’ll have to hunt around Hokkaido to see if there’s another NPC that can only be pushed off the railing where going out of bounds is the only way to get their outfit.
(Tagging @WINNODD and @Viv in case they want to use this trick in their own contracts.)
