JOBS from the Green Hands

[dashavingo]

Ok, so the "two handsshaking" (green) icon is supposed to offer jobs. But I've visited two such individuals (Dino at the Afterlife and Wakako Okado in Japantown) and they dialogue seems to offer no jobs. I am too late in the game progression to trigger these? Again, there are no dialogue options that I can see that would offer work of any kind. I will admit, I've finished "Phantom Liberty" and am at level 47, so it may be that I've just progressed to far for these individuals to offer work. But I'm trying to do as much as I can this playthrough, so wonder if anyone can advise as to finding work through the shaking hands icon.

Thanks as always compadres:

Gigs from fixers are marked on your map as ! - marks in a box with the same colour as those fixer icons (cyan / green). You don't have to visit the fixers to get them.

If you hover the mouse over the fixer icons it should say how many of their gigs you've done out of how many available (like 6/11 for example).

So just go to those green !-marks on the map (make sure you have 'Jobs' checked in the map options), and the fixers should call you when you're close enough. You have to be on foot for them to call.

Those are the locations of the fixers. You don't need to go directly to the fixer and talk to them to get the gigs that they offer, they will often phone when you are close to a gig. The fixers each have a set number of gigs that they offer and in a set order. Some gigs come in groups while other times the fixer will only offer 1 gig at a time. In earlier versions of the game visiting the fixer would give a small preview of what type of gig each one was but you still had to go to the gig location to get the job.

Thanks gents, this simple distinction made everything clear!

You're welcome.

Actually, the mission descriptions sounds like they were written for starting from the fixers themselves, so maybe it was originally planned to go to the fixers offices for each one.

For example, sometimes it says something like "To reach this place you'll have to go far out to this and that place" or something similar, but you actually have to already be there to get the gigs, so the 'road directions' are kind of pointless

Maybe this is related to that:

I'm noticing the same thing Bjorn, so this was a good/useful point!

Thanks mate-
