Just finished watching the fallout series and i've got to tell you mooney, you were great then and you are great now. Never stop making content man, you have no idea how much you help some of us get through tough times.

It's good that these kinds of videos exist. I've been watching you for a while now and I always find it entertaining. I've been suffering from a rather horrible psychosis for over a year now, and it may seem like nothing, but for me, these kinds of videos offer a brief respite from my harrowing daily life, however fleeting that may be. We often hear that we should live in the moment, and for me, it's a literal necessity as I have no choice but to savor each small moment of relief that I can get. My only hope is that things won't worsen in the coming months. Anyway, thank you BigMooney

[@bigMooney06]

Cheers for the comment. Keep your chin up Alex mate, hopefuly it passes soon. I've always found that having a routine, eating properly and getting plenty of sleep helps. When I stray from that is when I start getting anxious and the destructive thoughts start creeping in. When you stand still is when it turns sour, you've just got to keep on the move as best as you can and try and better yourself. Best of luck bud, have a good one.

@29:30 The Shaman Powder is a pacifying concussive explosive, the Magnesium Pouch is a blinding explosive. While the pacified body would have counted against you anyway, the explosion killed 1 or more “Fake NPC's” in the crowd as well

[@Subjectivity13]

12:45 I just had to be drinking when he did that. I almost choked. Really didn't see that coming. I'd imagine people were saying you can just leave the bodies somewhere for "No Bodies Found," but "Hide All Target Bodies" really does mean you have to hide them in a bin. That's what makes those two different challenges. Another great run!

[@Mr.Grumps565]

Hey mooney, wanted to give a thanks. Your videos helped me through a dark time and kept me from making some very ill minded choices. Keep it up.

[@KegOfMeat]

Fuck yeah! Always love seeing a new BigMooney video on my homepage after a night at work. Perfect Run is a new objective that was added in after the update. They also increased the payout to some objectives, changed Perfect Shooter so that cameras and recording equipment can be shot without failing the objective and added in the ability to throw items at cameras.

Bigmooney playing hitman is chef's kiss 😊

[@thebaronlouis8619]

"No combat" is very easily broken. If someone sees a bullet hit your target or even a pair of scissors hit them in the head from Mount Everest, it's considered "combat" even if every guard is already coco pops.

[@The_ATF_]

You know, I don’t think there is a single soul on this earth that knows how hitman freelancer objectives work

[@steved1135]

Agreed. I got so frustrated with them, and the prestiges in particular, that I don't bother anymore. I just have fun.

[@KegOfMeat]

I so often failed Perfect Shooter because I’d shot cameras, the recording equipment, propane canisters, fire extinguishers and missing peoples bodies. I also don’t understand how smashing someone over the back of the head with a briefcase, after the guy saw me, and it doesn’t fail No Combat but hitting someone and not killing them with a shot does fail it.

[@TheUltimateHacker007]

​​​@@KegOfMeatcombat situation involves another person being aware of them being in combat. Such as getting punched in the face while you approach them, them running away from you pointing a gun at them (combative situations). It doesn't necessarily mean they have to fight back. As for your briefcase example, if the the person you attacked saw you but wasn't in an alerted state before he got attacked, it works the same as hitting him from behind but the only difference being that they saw your face

[@johnsansker7064]

On the Berlin map, you said you got the keys and didn't notice. You also need the disguise to use the scooter to exit the level. Or, for laughs, take a picture of the mural outside the one corner of the building, and use the UFO exit.

[@untenableposition]

ffs you got 47 looking like some sort of eccentric roadman

[@RG001100]

38:10 YES! ... Though, I believe lethal syringes do not violate silent assassin. And keep in mind for hardcore: you fail the campaign if you fail any of the prestige objectives. And there aren't the icons telling you what meeting type the suspects are doing. etc.

It’s honestly super cool to see how good you’ve gotten at Hitman over the years. I was binging your SASO master mode playlist recently, and you can really see the gradual but constant improvement. I really think you should give hardcore mode a go, because you could definitely handle it, even though it is pretty challenging

[@nanoqht285]

35:24 If you don’t like that, you’re really not gonna like hardcore. Also, since you haven’t gotten this yet, no bodies found means no bodies found, hide target/all bodies means you put them in a container/yeet them off the map. With the hide bodies one, if any of the bodies get seen before you’ve hidden them, you lose it too. I had the latter half of this one running in the background, but as it said after you finished Mendoza, the body must’ve been found at some point.

[@AngryVeteran70]

Fridays are so much better with a bigMooney video!!! Thanks for all the laughs bud!!! Keep up the amazing work!

[@UnrivaledAegis]

Mooney, please read the latest patch notes, the changes are extremely important. For example you can now shoot the evidence and cameras with “perfect shooter”, but you can also throw items at cameras to break them! I think you should just focus on the prestige objectives and not always worry about the others as they are not intended for you to always be able to get every one.

[@l0Archangel0I]

Amazing video as always, really enjoying the freelancer stuff, I play it myself and definitely enjoy both playing and watching it. Also a side note, really love the Mooney voice overs in every game so here’s an idea that probably never gonna happen and is really hard, but it’ll be really cool, one hitman map/mission but everyone and I mean everyone (maybe not Diana) is voiced by Mooney in different styles.

[@tmas47]

Did you complete "The Perfect Run" Prestige Objective at the end of the video? Because it is bugged most of the time. It is bugged when you don't complete all the Payout Objective DURING the mission. Like you had "Do not blow your disguise" which completes after the mission.

[@Rengray2]

I'm talking to myself....I'm always talking to myself, but you know what I mean. Yes, Mooney. We know **exactly** what you mean. (Love ya, mate! ❤)

[@withy1489]

29:16 Thanks for giving me like 5 years of life, cannot stop laughing. On the more serious not - shaman powder can normally kill only Erich Soders and Ezra Berg (although Ezra must be "weakened" by killing his interogation subject. As of NPCs shmman powder can only kill those dummy NPCs which I think is also your case (at least by studying you map and positions of real NPCs), the NPC in your camera view is porbably the one that got incapacitated (I would have to check it personally but as far as I know except those two characters real NPCs cannot be killed by shaman powder). Edit: hide target bodies really means to hide them - closet, wardrobe, dump them in the river etc.

[@MSte21]

Hardcore Mode is basically Master Mode on steroids. NPCs react significantly quicker (they'll catch you doing illegal actions from the corner of their eyes and shit), your health is miniscule (Assassins will one-shot you, guards with assault rifles will one-shot you, pistols and revolvers will take two or three shots to down you), there are way more enforcers for every disguise and every single map is an Alerted Territory. The worst thing, imho, is that Prestige Objectives are now mandatory. So, for example, when you forgot to bring the sniper rifle to Berlin for that Epic Kill, you would be fucked in Hardcore Mode (unless you 'cheated' and went to Task Manager to turn the game off). It also makes for ludicrous scenarios where you fail the Campaign (because every Mission failure is an immediate Campaign Failure) for failing to, say, pacify a target with a baseball bat or just being spotted by an enforcer during a SA run. Not that NPC alerting guards or anything, your SA status is immediatly ruined and so you fail the Mission. Also, the Perfect Run Prestige Objective is bugged.

[@RobertJW]

The pouch IS a flashbang, it won't kill normal NPCs... But it will kill CROWD NPCs, who are too simple AI to be knocked unconscious, and will also die to a punch to the face, or a dart gun. And you were unlucky enough to throw it down into the dance floor, where it did indeed collect a crowd NPC.

[@myITguyShawnRatcliffe]

Great watch a master cus I level 90 on freelancer and still not done a completed all syndicates AAAAAggghhh

[@Field_Marshal_Emu]

Love some of the weird voice acting lines the NPC guards come out with. "Target has gone AWOL!" The internstional premier assassin we didn't know was even here 30 seconds ago has not filed the appropriate paperwork to disappear from view after gunning down his targets. Brilliant.

[@ushimohanawomaraitai]

Why would you worry about that NPC a few feet away hear your shot? The dart guns are as quiet as Krugermeier so NPCs can't hear it unless they are very close to 47. Speaking of dart guns IOI should add a lethal version of it but it will probably break the game since poison kill body found doesn't effect silent assassin.

[@cate01a]

No hardcore, hey? Cant blame ya its a pretty bullshit mode But if you play it, be careful about the "complete all objectives" requirement. It's bugged and you will fail if you have an objective that completes after you finish the mission, i.e no firearms, dont get spotted, etc Oh and avoid mumbai. Sometimes one guy at the construction area will dissapear below the ground making it impossible to win Also if you want to prestiege, youll want to buy as many weapons as you can from the vendors. Also, when you buy out the cheap shitty weapons, you will then be presented with the cool weapons since you dont get sold shit you already own Actually about hardcore: It's bullshit when you fail the critical objective because of some weird dumbass quirk you werent aware of. Or maybe you slip up for 1 second and now youre compromised and get 1 shot killed, shit like that makes it bullshit But, once you learn all the many ways you can get bullshitted by the game, then you can play hardcore "properly" (with no uncertainty/rng/failing due to game breaking bugs), and then it's a really good challenging gamemode. Instead of popping a courier in the head in public then running off, you'll need to be smarter about it. Instead of sniping your targets then dicking off within 2 minutes, you'll need to be deliberate and considerate, and this deliberate gameplay is where hitman shines Also you get a cool suit for beating hardcore

[@TheHomieZhe]

Barely started this video and I like the Thumbnail xD

[@ArtSurvivesArtist]

35:23 The reason I NEVER attempt SASO in this game. It was either that or keep buying new tv's and new controllers. Or constantly getting remarried.

[@comfylung]

Fridays are always better with Mooney! Apropos of nothing I think it's a Commonwealth English thing where you refer to the gun itself as a "sniper" and not a "sniper rifle" and I think I just realized that, despite watching your videos for years.

[@stingersplash]

Just hit level 99 this morning...once i hit 100 im done. I'll finish the campaign im on at the time but 6 years will be finished and i can finally play other big games like Horizon, Spider-Man, God Of War etc.

[@oswald7716]

Every new Freelancer video is like my favorite movie franchise hss a new entry

[@Silverfrog28]

I really like hardcore mode - the pressure is on with the mandatory prestige objectives and the NPCs are more numerous en vigilant like in master mode. Ideal circumstances for panicked shenanigans 😂

[@CursedInEternity92]

Freelancer was a mistake by io, I'm seeing the writing on the wall now and I don't expect them to do anything more with the franchise. This is the peak, this is what they are going to offer us. I'm letting the franchise go now as it will never be the same again. They just male new targets for the same levels, who the fu$# asked for that? I'd rather them work on the next full game. But no it's milk the same levels you have for years now.

[@Aronia55]

The 'hide target bodies' objective is/was definitely bugged. I finished a hardcore mission without hiding all of the targets in a container, got the same 'failed objective' notice in the debrief yet was allowed to continue the campaign.

[@stingersplash]

Why did you pick Sniper Kill for Berlin and not take a Sniper? The prestige objectives are always worth more so should be priority.....ahh nevermind the penny dropped 😅
