Thanks so much, my mindset is to add more content to Chongqing and also maybe try to get in some unlocks and references you wouldnt usually find in Hitman
That’s a good one too! I actually kinda like that better, might use Dollotron for a different challenge name. I was playing Arkham Knight recently and liked the idea of referencing Professor Pyg in a challenge. Maybe a challenge in the Gluttony Gobble or Halliwell Fable might be a good opportunity for that

Looking at the recent DLCs, I’ve been thinking that it could be nice to unlock safehouse cosmetics via challenges and to have “souvenirs” from the levels in the safehouse.
As an example:
- Name: Stand aside, worthy adversaries! (“Tis but a Scratch” already exists
) - Type: Feats
- Description: Pacify 10 guards with a mace while wearing the Knight armor
- Mission: Isle of Sgail
- Unlock: Knight armor on plinth cosmetic
PS:
A related (but unrealistic) challenge/unlock could be:
- Name: Chivalry is dead
- Type: Feats
- Description: Eliminate all Knights (that appear after killing or pacifying all NPCs)
- Mission: Isle of Sgail
- Unlock: Knight armor suit

Name: 47? What on earth are you doing?
Type: Feats
Description: Eliminate Don Archibald Yates and Tamara Videl while Diana is… busy*.
Mission: The Farewell
Unlock: 1945 Grand Paladin
*As in “throwing up”. Bring a Sieker, an emetic grenade, whatever. Gear up with emetic poison so you can take your time while Diana pukes her guts out.
Maybe multiple times.
Depending on how fast you can be or how well you can plan ahead.

Name: By Wits Alone
Type: Feats
Description:
- Complete the mission Silent Assassin
- Do not bring any items or weapons
- Do not pick any items or weapons
Mission: I’m going to say Paris? For the tradition of it. Could be any of them really
Carpathian Mountains would be more appropriate suit unlock wise, and would have the advantage of not having a loadout possible from the get go. But it would be less interesting to play though.
(edit: Paris is possible, even suit only if one wishes. Carpathian Mountains is not just boring to do, but impossible in the default start, with an obligatory crowbar pick. I might have just found my new challenge runs for the next months. 
)
Unlocks: Minimal 47
(a version of Patient 47 without the medical equipments, just swapping them out, should be easy to create in almost no time.)

Name: One-Armed Bandit
Map: Colorado
Type: Feats
Conditions:
- Hit Maya Parvati’s prosthetic arm with three bullets
- Do not pacify, kill or injure Maya Parvati
- Do not get spotted
Reward: Six apricots
One-time distractions are not so useful but having six of them? Maybe that can be handy if you don’t want to bring 3 coins you need to pick up again!
Apricots appear on slot machines (I think?) so that fits the theme and map.
Note that injuring Maya Parviati counts as such if any other body part is hit with bullets or if food items are thrown at her head.

Never would’ve thought I could be convinced that an apricot would make a good unlock but I like the idea of a high amount of one time distractions. Maybe it should be a different item with the same effect as the apricot, because I can already see there being complaints about the apricot being a weird unlock ala Pinot Noir
I really like this idea

I have to point out: unless it’s a reskin of it, distinct from it,making the PI suit an unlock will break every single gameplay in Dartmoor.
It will break the mastery unlock design of the location. It will break the entire track in Freelancer. It will break every ET using the map.
I sincerely don’t wish to be that guy. But I also know that historically challenge idea on this topic are used to inspire real content in roadmap. And they can be chosen a bit carelessly for the game, which I genuinely don’t want to see again.

yea i was jumping the gun suggesting this because the new suits arent released yet but i just want to clarify that the suit wouldnt have the properties of the PI disguise. What happened was I saw some people on Peacock have obtained the new unlocks and were using them, and it turns out they are just what you described: suit reskins, without the trespassing zones of the actual disguises
So just wanted to clarify that if IO implements an unlock for that it’s only going to be via making it have the regular suits’ trespassing zones

The travel suitcase with the Argentina sticker should be an illegal item in Dartmoor with any guard catching you with it immediately opening fire and being like “This is for the Falklands you bastard!”.
