Bah!
Cocked up the final mission on Santa Fortuna. Had it all sorted and then the remote explosive didn't kill the target through the sofa she was sat on. I panicked, shot her and got killed. Should've quit to home screen.
Started a new one. I'm definitely getting into it. 😊

Managed my second syndicate of a campaign last night. Multiple attempts in Whittleton Creek.
Eventually at the end I helped myself by remembering that taking out the target is the prime objective. The bonus money is just that, a bonus. And it's worth nothing if you cock up the run and get caught.
So, rather than try to poison her, or blow up a gas heater I just went with the classic 'coin chuck from behind a bush', shot in the head and then dumped in a crate.
I am now at mastery level 9.

I got to the third syndicate campaign and completely shat the bed, then lost 15k..
There is something addictive about the mode.. having one last run, but I don't think they've quite nailed the feeling you're actually progressing, because the epic weapon drops are fairly infrequent, and another example that I've never seen a fibre wire to purchase.

You’ll see it eventually, it only populates the shop with items you don’t already have. I filled up the weapon wall by tailoring my last few runs just to check the merchant and not particularly bother about the bonus objectives because I had more than enough currency by then. |

I should have used my 30k on some weapons then  |

I found a decent video from MrFreeze where he details the unique/interesting weapons you can collect on each map. My current mission is in Marrakech, so I can get a sabre and remote explosive. youtu.be/9QEi8W88Aek?si=oPvlOEpWuQ8RY7ic |

There’s also a single use rusty nail (lockpick) that spawns on the ground on one of the two paths that leads to the helicopter, and a poisonous mushroom (emetic) further up the same path |

Any advice for killing people just wandering around in public areas in Morocco I'm in the exact same situation. I've followed him around and there seems to be one spot where I might be able to lure him into a corner with a dumpster.. Otherwise I'll follow the other advice! |

I was waiting for ages to find a good spot for the last target in Mumbai. I followed who I thought was the target, as described by the intel.. then there was a place she went down a back alley with a dumpster, but I had to jump over a fence, time it to perfection, as following her through the door would get me spotted by some random civilian... Phew. Oh and I had to pump her with a dart gun for extra rewards lol.

I cocked it up - managed to lure the first target. Then I was trying to clear the shoe shop in front of the tunnel access. But I messed up at the back, panicked, and got killed before I could quit to desktop. You lose a lot when you mess up a campaign.. And now I am trying to do a mission in Colorado. Blimey! Found a simple way to get a disguise from the hut under the water tower, but making two kills is gonna be tricky. I think I need to hit and run, hit and run, and then run some more!! |

Colorado is one of the easiest ones if you've got the sniper rifle.

Colorado is the compound with the 4 targets isn't it?
I liked that one. Hated Isle of Sgail.

I thought Isle of Sgail was a great map but with rubbish challenges and targets (though some of the assassinations were good).
Like most people I didn't get along with Colorado. Flat map, too many tagets, always hostile and visually just a bit dull.
Appreciate they tried doing something different but it didn't work for me.

My overriding memory of Sgail is playing avoid the enforcer on a glass bridge and just getting super fucked off. Ruined the entire map for me.
Whereas, playing car crush challenge on Colorado was funny as fuck

Colorado is one of the easiest ones if you've got the sniper rifle. I tried that, up the tower, got my suppressed shots off. Everyone woke up and knew exactly where I was. An alternative approach/sniping spot is clearly needed, but I'm not aware of one. |

There’s a starting point on top of a roof in Colorado (I think it’s the aforementioned tower) where I’ve built up a crazy body count more than once due to messing up the stealth. Once you’ve taken out the two guys who start on the roof, everyone else just piles up the outside stairs in single file and you can just pick them off one by one.
Obviously that doesn’t work for showdowns

I did wonder about turning it into a 'kill everyone' scenario.
It's only the second map in the first syndicate of a campaign, so if it all goes wrong it's not the end of the world!!
My start point is by the van where there are two guards right in front of you. It's easy enough to get a disguise and get up on that roof.

It is a weird one, I do remember even with silenced sniper on that tower in Colorado that guards will come running over to the location. Maybe it comes down to whether guards see the target being shot? I took out a targe from the tower in Paris and same thing happened. Same from the castle ruins in Sapienza. So now I have it in me to immediately get out or there once I take a shot.

I'm sure I did sniper kills from that tower back when playing the Colorado map. So it must be a Freelancer thing.

So now I have it in me to immediately get out or there once I take a shot. Always found this very tempermental too, even with the silenced sniper rifle. In Paris when going for the challenge to kill both targets whilst the fireworks are going off it would be 50/50 as to whether I'd be spotted. I'd take the shots and be spotted - then I'd reload the game, take the exact same shots and not be spotted. Always seem to get spotted in the water tower in Colorado too after taking a shot. |

I'm at the end of a mission in Mendoza. 3 targets. Taken two down fairly easily. The third is a waitress on the upper terrace. She doesn't appear to be moving.
Options?
I'm currently thinking of a distance headshot (I got the sniper rifle from the guys on the tower) and then legging it. But I'm not happy with it as an option.
I have an additional challenge here to only use one disguise. So I'm one of the mercenary guards who patrol the villa which has allowed me access to most places.
Oh, and additionally it's an alerted map, so she's an enforcer too.
I'll see if there's a way to get behind her and chuck a coin...
