Freelancer - General Discussion

When I played Hitman2016, I was in the top 100 for all but one of the feature contracts. I was ranked in top 5 a few times. To speed run the same mission over and over to get high ranking is a bit OCD. Freelancer is a lot of freelancing, and is always different.

I love it as well as it gives us brief insight into 47’s whereabouts since the conclusion of the Hitman III epilogue. It’s also a cool mode that will tied us over until the next Hitman game comes in the next few years.

Freelancer is indeed an interesting mode that expands the HITMAN universe beyond the story and levels.

However i wish we had a proper alternative to the rogue mode, something with more freedom and not necessarily tied to syndicates…

After all, we are at 47’s house now. We could use that as a safe space not only to track syndicates, but also as a hub to start any contract, any mission, and more into one single spot.

A less restricted mode where we can complete some missions without being tied to specific challenges or rules, just you, your weapons and your mind to decide your approach could be an interesting alternative to the dedicated rogue-like mode that is actually set up :+1:

I want to see Ghost Mode come back, with things learned from Freelancer.

Instead of the targets being like Showdown suspects, they should be regular mission NPCs just like non-Showdown targets. The first two kills would be any method and any disguise, but targets after that would require specific weapons and/or disguises.

Without an official mode though it would have to be done by a content creator, probably by streaming or something.

I finally got 50 campaigns challenge. Now, the next challenge is the last prestige one. I’m at level 9. I can’t wait to go to level 10 and buy for the last time all the weapons. Then I’ll go faster to the 100 campaigns challenge, without considering objectives, safes, money.

someone show them off

It is worth while, since this pack completes your gym in the safe house. No more grinding to level 96 for a complete safe house.

When I saw that there was Safehouse decorations as part of this update, I thought it was just the money pit outside :joy:

I didn’t know there was full decorations for the Gym? :open_mouth:


Absolutely awesome!! Class to see a full decorated Gym with a burning money pit outside :wink:

Great to see Freelancer getting some love and I hope we get more stuff for it in the Autumn and Winter roadmaps :grin:

Are the decorations modulary (like can you place the punching bags without the tags on the wall behind them) or is it just a single option for the gym?

They are all modulary.

I love how they chose a different room for decorations compared to The Undying Pack so we can have a whole Undying room at the same time as a whole Disruptor room, I hope when the likely Drop DLC pack is released they also choose another room to focus on, maybe the garage.

I see what you mean, but a themed set for each target would be a better idea i think.
A themed prop in each or main sections of the rooms would make more sense :+1:

Anymore Safehouse decorations are welcome!! :grin:

That bloody Xmas tree better be part of the Winter roadmap haha :joy::crossed_fingers:t2:

post-patch, a couple of times in Chongqing, there is a courier looking into the grate where you are located in the server room, where often there is a vendor in the ICA facility. as soon as the female courier sees you, you she alerts a guard. This trap is the same as the sleeping guard as a target in the room of sleeping guards in the school of Marrakesh.

finished 55 campaigns, killed 450 syndicate leaders, working on Prestige VII, 8 times so far reset the weapons wall.

Started freelancer avoiding time trials; now I mostly choose them. You start out being overly cautious and then as you become more familiar with freelancer, you get accustomed to the controlled mayhem, which is mostly about understanding the rules and manipulation of NPC behavior, and knowing map layouts instinctively. The more you play the less devastated you are of losing missions and campaigns. Less tragic if you have duplicate Seiker, Tranquilizer and lockpick on you weapons wall of your safehouse.

Can’t believe all the novel, funny dialogue of NPCs. I would like to know how many independent pieces of dialogue have been written for NPCs for Hitman WOA.

All the maps are great – but I have a greater disliking of Maldives and Colorado because the NPC sight lines are greater in these maps. Targets in heavily congested areas in Mumbai and Marrakesh are best taken down with a long range sniper. NY Bank is the free merc haul map, then Mendoza which has an accessible safe. Dartmoor, Ambrose Island, Mumbai grow on you as you play these maps, because there are so many entries, exits and other options.

Expect that Project 007 will have a Freelancer mode. Also expect that real-life Hollywood characters / villains similar to as this UFC fighter and Sean Bean will be advertised targets in Project 007 too.

I completed the Freelancer Prestige challenge bringing me to 100% in Freelancer. After filling the wall and kit with weapons and gear I noticed that the Prestige laptop gave me the choice to start level 11. My question is, how many more levels are there after completing the challenge?

It’s infinite. At least, in theory it is. It should count all the way up to 99 and then stop counting, but still let you start again. The only levels necessary to advance in is up to 10 for the challenges. After that, it’s up to you if you wish to do it again.

Level 100 is top level for Prestige and the laptop doesn’t reactivate after that. It breaks the display on the trophy as well.

But it doesn’t stop you from continuing to prestige, does it? It just stops counting them? In which case, the levels are infinite, it just doesn’t show past 99 and changes to a broken display. Or do I have that wrong?
