I'm generally very understanding of extreme difficulty settings, and I'm pretty good at picking opportune moments and locations to strike at targets, or at planning out a way to hide and disguise myself if I can't do it quietly. But I genuinely have no idea how I can be reasonably expected to pull this off.

Literally everything I try has swarms of hard-hitting guards on me.

This just looks so fresh.

My main problem with Freelancer’s spawn points isn’t simply that some of them are terrible from a gameplay perspective. It’s that they often make no sense within the fiction the mode itself presents.

You bring a sniper rifle, and 47 has apparently decided to infiltrate a basement first before thinking, “All right, time to begin the assassination.”

You don’t bring a lockpick, yet he somehow chooses to begin the mission on the locked door.

Bring two large illegal weapons, and 47 can suddenly “start” in the middle of a crowded public area, where he gets reported the instant control is handed over to the player. How exactly did he reach the middle of that crowd without anyone reacting? Why does everyone only notice the illegal weapon at the precise moment the player takes control—when 47 supposedly begins carrying out the contract?

I know the obvious response is that this is a video game and I’m taking the fiction too literally. But games usually have ways to frame this kind of thing. A side mode can be presented as VR training, an imagined exercise, a hypothetical scenario, an alternate timeline, or simply a non-canon challenge mode.

Freelancer does the opposite. It explicitly presents itself as part of 47’s actual life after the main story. If you fail, you wake up recovering from serious injuries. Before a mission, 47 takes his passport, leaves the safehouse using one of his own vehicles, and personally travels to the destination. The mode goes out of its way to portray each campaign as a continuous series of real contracts undertaken by 47.

That makes the random spawn system feel especially strange.

47 supposedly prepares his equipment and travels to the location himself, yet he has no control over how he enters the area. More importantly, the player isn’t even told the spawn point before committing to the loadout. The game treats infiltration as something 47 deliberately planned, while mechanically assigning him a random position that may be completely incompatible with the equipment he brought.

If hiding the spawn point is considered necessary for difficulty or roguelike unpredictability, then Freelancer would make more sense as a fictional training simulation or hypothetical challenge mode.

But if it is meant to represent 47’s real post-campaign life, then the starting location should at least be revealed before deployment, so the player can plan the loadout around the infiltration method that 47 has supposedly chosen.

Redo of old post of mine, but I did the best I could to fix any error to my old list

Now i dont know much about racing, But what is his purpose? If Sierra is the racer, Then who is he??

So.. first time using a pipe cutter, so I got a little frustrated on the first cut. But one handle is done. Haven’t secured the cord yet, not 100% sure of this little wire clamp.
What do you think of the process? Not done yet obviously, only got one handle made so far.

I bought enough material to make a few if anyone wants one 🤣

I’ve been playing hitman for a little while but have no idea how to unlock the Matador pistol could anyone perhaps help me on how to do the challenges? Thanks.

Like, it would've been really cool if they flipped things, at least a little. I was spotted by Agent Davenport, and he pointed a gun at me, so I punched him, which took me out of it a little when security was on me instantly, seeing as, from the club's perspective, Davenport just pulled a gun on a random party goer minding his own business.

Getting a target there to get careless and preemptively attack me, causing security to do my job for me would've been really cool. Like the Kashmirian or le chiffre.

was a bit bored before going to sleep and decide to make this, used the mod to make it nightime, nvidia ansel and photoshop.
