Freelancer - General Discussion

Oh, you silly FL Hardcore mode. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: This guy walks right up on me. Good thing I’m blending in.

I’m almost to Level 100 (just recently went over 99), and this screenshot is from the 1st Takedown of the final syndicate.


Has anyone else seen this yet/before? It’s a banana tree with a poison prompt. :banana: Though it’s kind of weird that it has an S-shaped hook on it. Almost like it could be used as a prop somewhere else (outside of a jungle environment).

Edit: Looks like there are some here too.

I saw this just yesterday, also in hardcore and was about ask the same thing. I tried poisoning it and luring someone close to the tree but nothing happened. The campaign version of Ambrose doesn’t have that.

As long as they make the coin spawn in the safehouse basement so that it becomes a a true reward always available.
The coin is too iconic to be a random loot.

But as the ultimate reward in Freelancer, propped next to the map, ready to be taken in a ā€œhere is a coin, it’s all you need, you are 47ā€ ? That would be ideal.

I’m hoping the fix will be part of the game update later on this year! :crossed_fingers:t2:

Also, I might be in a minority here, but on a separate subject, I’d love for the mastery to continue to at least 150 or 200. I love obtaining new items for the Safehouse, so it would be cool to see this happen! We have to get them Xmas Tree and Halloween decorations somehow! :grin:

Maybe it’s absolutely deliberate on IOI’s part and they intend to make it an easter egg at some point (although not for now) but don’t know exactly how yet :x

Apparently, pushing a target over a ledge counts as a melee kill. Wtf?

Drowning counts as melee kill too.

Is that a bug? Or do I just have a vastly different understanding of what should fit under the definition of ā€œmeleeā€?

You do need to be in melee range for the kills, at least for the intended ways of drowning and pushing.

I guess the physical struggle involved is enough for it to be considered a melee kill, which includes unarmed kills such as neck snap, pushing and drowning.

I don’t think that tool coin being gone is a bug I think it’s deliberately excluded because there might be a reward for collecting ALL items including that coin and they don’t want it to be unlocked until all items that will be introduced have been introduced to prevent the reward from being unlocked prematurely.

I like this theory!! :grin:

I have a feeling the coin is programmed in but won’t be made available until IOI are done with Hitman, and that will be the final unlock.

But I’m just guessing. :smiley:

This… makes a lot of sense.

IF this is actually the case, then I will be extremely happy, as I have been wanting more gear items and weapons added to Freelancer.

This is bullshit.

Why did you try to KO those Kronstadt guards when you could simply bonk the three cops in the parking lot without nobody noticing for the objective? :x

When I saw all them running up the stairs through the Instinct I knew what was coming :grimacing:

New York fault in master mode.

I can open the vault, but usually a second scanner inside the vault deactivates the green lasers. However I’m not seeing that second scanner.

Has there been a change
