Crewdy beat me to PS recreation.

Here is Stadia ID: 1-11-1173336-13

PapaLevy · January 11, 2022, 3:25pm

Not sure if I just have skill issues, but this feels like a very long contract.

djsojus · January 11, 2022, 3:43pm

On my test runs I got a time under 5 minutes. But I’m more of a casual player. Pretty sure it can be done faster.

linux_penguin · January 11, 2022, 3:57pm

But Heidi is a scene-setting target who is extremely impractical to reach without emetics? how did you do it?

djsojus · January 11, 2022, 4:04pm

I lured her from the room next to the kitchen

Edit: I really hope this SONKO isn’t too annoying or boring.

Fe2O3 · January 11, 2022, 4:16pm

great run… excellent

SONKO Challenge # 115 NO LOADOUT(djsojus)

djsojus · January 12, 2022, 3:34am

That was a great run! Thanks for playing!

Loner · January 12, 2022, 12:06pm

I’ve completed sonko #115 yesterday, but I wasn’t satisfied about my run, I 'll try to record something better later.
There are some good sonko contract lately, I need to get myself on track again.

Loner · January 13, 2022, 6:34pm

My run of sonko #115

It’s still good to playing some Miami contract.

CHAOS_AGENT_45 · January 16, 2022, 11:52am

SONKO #113
This is a great contract, really enjoyed it!
The first time i played the game after months. God i’m rusty af and tired of grinding for a flawless run. This is the best i could do

Loner · January 16, 2022, 6:59pm

My run of sonko #113.

I claim #116.

Ecco · January 16, 2022, 7:24pm

Anyone had thoughts how SONKO would be in Freelancer? I have yet to try SONKO yet but from my understanding this would be really hard to freestyle right?

Can’t wait to see people do some crazy stuff

Loner · January 16, 2022, 8:00pm

Sorry for the simultaneous post, but I need to ask to you guys some suggestions about the next contract: I already have a idea about a possible tricky contract based around collecting large meele weapons and kil targets based on very far location of the map. I admit it sound like a possible tedious and frustrating experience, but I remember challenges like this was the original concept of the Sonko challenges. However, I want to hear your opinion about that. If you wish, I can make something more flessibile and potentially more fun. I decided to build a pool for help me taking the right choise.

A very hard challenge
A more flessibile challenge

I’d imagine we will do more or less the same as the usual contract/challenge we made. Just like normal story missions, you are not forced, but able to complete them in SONKO style if you wish, but we will have to wait for more details of that mode to tell how difficult it can be.

Why would it be? Even in SONKO challenges, different players will have different approaches, like having different target kill orders and routes within the same challenge. It’s really up to each player to consider whether it’s possible/doable.

Give some of them a try, especially Colorado ones. You may enjoy them and even become addicted to them.

Loner · January 17, 2022, 5:03pm

Well, looking at the pool’s results, I decided to create a reasonable and fair sonko challenge. Thanks for everybody.

Sonko Challenge #116.

Briefing and target's location on map

Targets

Kill condition is “Any” to all of them.

Hanna Gerhard is the female staff member inside the “little office” just after the club’s entrance.

Hagen Bischoffs is the male bartender in the bar in the relax area.

Alban Jager is the bartender serving in the juice bar, still in the relax area.

Finally, Bianka Krantz is the female technician near the DJ’s booth, close to another technician and a dj. She’s the one operating on a laptop.

About the scrapped contract concept

The initial concept was about a contract in Sapienza, where you have to kill the Red Plumbrer with the Katana and the Green one with the sapphere axe: I was aware that a contract like that, with the Sonko restriction, would be too much tedious, and also too much time consuming just for making backtracking in the map two times in a row carrying unconcenable weapons. I understand it’s more a bad contract than a reasonable and fun one. Maybe I’ll try to create it someday, but otherwise I decided to leave this concept away from the Sonko challenge thread.

As usual, good hunt agents.
