NEW CONTENT
Black Bruiser Suit Complete any Freelancer campaign on Harcode Mode and the Black Bruiser is yours to keep. “Why take an aspirin after a rough night, when you can flip the coin and make it a look? A classic black suit with a bloody white shirt, to show the world that no one messes with you.”
If you’ve already completed a Freelancer campaign on Hardcore, you’ll automatically complete this challenge and earn the unlock once you launch the game post-patch.
Exploding Pen As the old phrase goes, 'explosions speak louder than words'. That’s never been more true with the Exploding Pen you can unlock by heading back into the Patient Zero campaign and eliminating Craig Black under some specific and fitting circumstances.
Contracts Mode – ICA Facility We’re expanding the offering of Contracts Mode to now include the ICA Facility location. More specifically it’s the Freeform Training mission that takes place on the yacht.
HITMAN Freelancer – Prestige We’re adding a new ‘Prestige’ feature to Freelancer that will give you more reasons to play.
On the Mission Control table, there’s now a ‘Prestige Laptop, which allows you to progress through five Prestige Levels. Once you’ve collected all the weapons that can be stored in the Safehouse, you’ll be able to use the Prestige Laptop to advance your Prestige Level.
Increase the Prestige Objective Merces payout and grant an XP bonus for completing missions. These bonuses increase from level 1-5 and do not change once you reach Prestige Level 5. Add a Prestige trophy (a single trophy will display your current Prestige Level) Remove all items in your inventory, all Freelancer gear, all weapons on the weapon walls and all Merces.
The design of this feature is very much focused on it being fun to collect all the weapons again, and being able to optimize the way that you collect them, based on your previous experiences.
*Some small details about Freelancer - Prestige listed here are different to what we published in our recent Patch Notes Preview. The preview was accidentally based off old information.
TECHNOLOGY With the 3.150.1 patch, we’ve fixed an issue with GPU memory leak (VRAM) with DLSS enabled. There’s also been some updates to Nvidia DLSS from version 2.4.3 to 3.1.1.0 and Nvidia Streamline from version 1.4.6 to 1.5.2.
