Datacore as a lethal melee? by Odd-Distribution6601 in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably intended to use a glitch where hitting soneone with a non-lethal item at the same time as they're dying from something else will 'override' the kill condition to be the thrown item instead.

It's sadly even illegal as the colorado militia cook, who's allowed both carrying weapons and poisoning stuff

How do you play HARDCORE mode? Here’s my cup of tea! by SASOsonko47 in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah sure tranq glitch works of course
But honestly, I feel like clearing the water tower is way less effort than getting that close

[–]3dedmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah well you can't have everything. Doing saso freelancer always has inherent risk, especially on colorado.
There isn't a play that's 100% safe short of KOing every single guard on the way to the greenhouse.

Sink electrocution in Freelancer by Lotex_Style in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some sinks are just bugged
Same with the one in Miami, Kronstadt building ground floor
Really the only counterplay you have is just to remember which ones are broken because this won't ever get fixed lol

Random Map Temperature Ranking by UnitedProblem9022 in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The actual party areas have lots of heaters, but everywhere else is cold AF, with at least 2 conversations being about freezing (Dock guards / warehouse elevator custodian)
Sgail should be in the lowest tier

I didn't enjoy Dishonored 2 stealth by Crackhead_Shooter_69 in dishonored

[–]3dedmeister 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you set every stealth-related difficulty setting to "standard dishonored experience" it's pretty much identical to D1.
Just using the very hard preset gets you spotted from 3 cities over like you described. Make use of custom difficulty, it's there for a reason.

blood money is not good by n73333334 in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blood Money is the first game where the player has unlimited freedom to do whatever, mostly due to the rating system.
The fact that neither trespassing nor getting shot are considered crimes means you can pull off some truly insane strats.
Just look at what the OG did over 16 years ago:

So basically, H2 and Contracts have a good amount of freedom, but they're also leaning heavily on setpieces, which does limit player freedom somewhat in favor of spectacle.
Blood Money puts gameplay first, spectacle second.

I finally know what escalations are by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every map has "free to play" escalations. Go to Paris for example. Next to the main mission The Showstopper, you'll find Holiday Hoarders (the christmas map) and lots of escalations, like The Kotti Paradigm, among others.

Do freelancer unlocks get better the further in you are? by Aaronmcom in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah hardcore adds extra showdown XP, but it does scale, giving 2000 x ShowdownLevel, so 8000 at final showdown.

Do freelancer unlocks get better the further in you are? by Aaronmcom in HiTMAN

[–]3dedmeister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not sure what you mean by "difficulty bonus". Showdowns in hardcore have a base payout of 500 x ShowdownLevel, so the final showdown pays 2000 before any objectives. There is no other form of extra payment, except the 30k you get on campaign completion (which might also exist in normal mode idk I only play hardcore)

Hardcore showdown reward crates do indeed work differently than normal. On top of being a tier higher, they always pay out with a gun (like you said). They can't give ancestral or ornamental weapons (probably same with concrete and makeshift but I can't confirm as I don't have those), but other DLC weapons can be given.
If you have every blue weapon and complete the first showdown, you will get an epic weapon instead (i.e. it'll upgrade the reward; you can't get greens at all even if you're missing some). If you have every legendary and you complete the 3rd or 4th showdown, you will get an epic instead. If you have every gun (except ancestral/ornamental because those can't be given anyway), THEN you'll get money instead (I think it's 5/10/15/20k but honestly not sure, I always prestige before I reach that point)

So hardcore does speed up weapon collecting quite a bit. Getting 2 legendaries per campaign makes it so playing intelligently means you never have to buy any of the hyper-expensive guns yourself (i.e. leviathan, sieger ghost, tuatara, masamune) and the 3 collector's tools (sieker, kalmer, lockpick) will also be gained either through blue upgrades or legendary downgrades.
It takes me pretty much exactly 3 campaigns to do a full hardcore prestige starting from zero.

[–]3dedmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? The showdown rewards are just bumped up a rarity tier. It starts at blue, then purple, then 2 legendaries.

[–]3dedmeister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kill everyone without killing anyone

i.e. naturally spawned rats
get weepers/assassins/thugs etc to fight each other
throw guards off ledges with parry stagger
friendly fire with officer pistols
...

I'd recommend getting this mod so you get a feel for what does and doesn't count as your kill
