[Freelancer] Best plan for hazmat suit lab mark?

[dbond1]

Got an alerted Sapienza with one target, the hazmat suit scientist in the biolab. Stalactite misses him. How would you approach this mission? He stands next to the virus and doesn't move under normal circumstances. One of the side objectives is to use just one disguise.

Interested to hear some ideas.

theres a wall you can destroy that leads to the lab area, shown in the screenshots below:

This way you can easily get to the lab area using any kind of explosive that doesn't cause a flash effect. It will cause a panic, which you can leave the area till it's settled down, hopefully you aren't under a timer.

If all you have is a Proximity kind, after it's placed and armed, toss something at it to trigger it, like a coin, or anything throwable. You can get a coin from the hat in front of the clown doing tricks in front of a group of npcs.

Oh, and the guard that takes a smoke break near the wall in freelancer, he will eventually leave.

Guards are not allowed to to enter the actual lab, so use a disguise from a scientist, if you want to kill him from close range.

You can just pistol-snipe him through the window from the far side of the cave though.

Neither are lab technicians, unfortunately. I wonder what the other side objectives are, to require entering the lab itself.

Thanks and yeah, that's the way in. But due to a recent, err, mishap, my freelancer tools are currently unavailable. No explosives at the mo. So I can get a propane tank from the gardener's building in the compound grounds and blow that wall.

I want to hit the one disguise objective. To get the propane tank I swap to a compound guard uniform, which is like neon down in the lab. So how to get an explosive without changing disguise so I can then get a lab guard uniform after blowing the wall? Is there a tank around town?

I also have SA prestige objective I'd like to hit for the cash.

Seriously? Dammit man.

A female scientist will walk into the morgue next to the church, to visit her dead friend. She has a lab keycard and the corpse has the scientist disguise.

Yes, but it will definitely fail SA.

The corpse is naked in Freelancer.

Right, I forgot. Then he just needs to enter the lab in his suit and get a disguise from one of the scientists inside.

Right, so the question is where or how to get explosives to blow the wall while wearing 47s suit? I could get lucky at the supplier of course. And maybe it's possible to slip inside the gardener's shack to grab a bottle, but I imagine it's tricky and I'd rather not tempt my fate if I can.

If there was a disguise I could get that would carry me through both the compound and the lab that would be ideal. And I don't have to do the one disguise, but that's the challenge. And SA is worth another 2,500 so....

Thanks for the brainstorming.

The weapon I carried in to the mission was the Assassin's HWK21 Covert. I tried shooting the target through the glass from three different spots. Across the cave, halfway, and from a crouch right in front of the glass. None of these shots appear to have penetrated the window.

Turns out I did indeed have an explosive, a remote duck. Took that with me and blew the wall. I had picked up a couple coins along the way to the detonation. When it blew it attracted four guards, two from outside and two from within the lab, plus smoking dude ambled over.

I waited until all turned to resume their loops and tossed a coin in to the tunnel to pull the trailing guard back to investigate and choked him out, and took his disguise, leaving him in the tunnel. It's safe from smoking dude who never looks this way.

Entering the cave I headed to the right, took the first shot at the target, then shot out two cameras and choked out the guard near the sea plane to prep the exfil. Kept going along the right and past the roving guard to behind the lab. Coin distracted one of the guards here, then hit the other with a thrown crowbar. Hid both bodies in a dumpster.

With no key card to enter the lab I shot the stalactite over the virus which triggers an evacuation. Having cleared the pair of guards I was fine, but doing this stirs up the nest. The target evacuates outside behind the lab. The searching guards found the sea plane guard and so SA was blown. I should have choked him out when leaving.

With SA blown I shot the target in the head and left. Got the one-disguise objective but not SA. Thanks for all the help, and I'm curious why my through the glass shots didn't work, when clearly others have had success doing this. Is it the gun I used?
