The Undying arcade mission is terrible.
The conditions are mandatory.

I would just say it’s terrible the order they’ve put them in. The third phase should be the one that’s unrestricted.

Well , now im never gonna touch it ever again.
So much for them not standing on their word when they redid the Arcade Contract complications after the 5/5 missions to say all alternative objectives would be optional…

Now we need a Ducky that functions as a miniature tactical nuke.

Strange, there’s also a “play an ET in Miami” challenge with the Undying that gave me the Florida Fit with gloves… even though I already got it from the Dartmoor challenge that was added a few months ago :x

This is really upsetting. Can’t believe they actually added mandatory complications. You killed any hope and good will I still had for you, good job IOI, good job.

They probably will need to either add a new unique outfit or confiscate it from everyone who unlocked it in Dartmoor.

Wow, you said something I’m actually onboard with, @Patrick_McColloch. I say, IOI, use this opportunity to finally give out the Tactical Turtleneck with gloves!

I don’t mind the mandatory complications here. It’s the same ET three times in a row, and the second stage is without any complications for those who want to experiment. First stage complication also makes sense for the eyepatch in the later stages.
(Still hoping we’ll get access to all ETs without any restrictions outside of Arcade mode at a later point)

The Ephemeral Suit With Eye Patch is in the “Casual” category. It is also the only suit – from what I can tell from scrolling through my suits inventory – that has brown gloves, unless you count the Temper Suit which has sort of dark brownish gloves, sure.

Same thing happened to me. Thankfully it was already sat there in my inventory 
Now IOI, let’s make the purple duck in Freelancer

Hoping they’ll let us have a version of the suit without the eyepatch. The suit is so cool, but I’ll probably never wear it because of the eyepatch…

Oh wait, really? I thought that was the eyepatch version we unlocked! Nevermind then, lol. Thank you IOI for giving us the pretty version too.

The eyepatch version you have to buy with the Undying DLC pack. The one without you unlock for just playing the ET.

I did the regular ET mission and the ETA Ouroborous yesterday. I really appreciated redo the Undying mission. I consider the Undying as one of the best ET mission overall. The plot is great, and the target offers several murder opportunities. What a pleasure to rediscover this mission almost six years later.
I rather use safe strategies for regular ET, in order to secure a SA rating. That’s why I’ve looked forward for the ETA. Now I explore the map a little bit deeper, and I can test different strategies and try kill opportunities.
But it turns out that objectives are mandatory…
I understand the first one (pen) as it explains the Undying with the eye-patch. The second stage is completely free of objective. What a good move: now the mission can be done as we really want!
The third stage is technically a suit-only run, but not SA (bodies can be found, other targets can be killed).
So, I played accordingly.
The first stage was new to me, as I had never killed Faba with the pen during the H2 runs. I found it interesting and the run was great enough to be wrth the challenge. I tried to do SA, but I was recognized by Knox during my escape. Need a new run to fix that 
The second stage was a guilty pleasure. Free of complications, I explored the map and found Faba’s picture. Perfect for the android kill. SA achieved 
The third stage was at first complicated, but because SA was not required, I did want to kill Faba with the sniper. I made my way towards the control room and waited for Faba. During his run, Faba looks at the window. I was waiting for him until I realized that I was looking at the wrong window 
I awaited Faba… once he presented his head… a clean shot and done!
I did appreciate the previous move from IOI to make objectives optional for the ETA. Notably the kill conditions who limited too much the adopted strategy for the ET mission. But here, the mandatory complications are not too restrincting. Will see in a future if complications will be removed when the season is over…
For now, I’m happy that no restricted loadout has been implemented 
A really good start for Undying season!
