So you can't hide bodies?
I'm playing in the hardest difficulty, and it seems I cannot carry bodies. I take the militia down and the option to pick them up does not work. So eventually they discover a missing body and raise the alarm.

Am I missing anything?

it states in the hard difficulty text that hiding bodies is disabled

there is an actaul ability called dispose body. completely removes it from map. is that what you mean?

But you should be able to pick them up and dump them somewhere else outside of their vision. It is one thing to magically make them disappear on the spot, and another to not even be able to pick them up and carry them away.

No, that's in the normal difficulty. I picked the hardest one because it disables that ability, but I was expecting being able to pick them up and carry them away ... seems you can't even do that so someone will eventually find them. Looks pretty stupid leaving a dead body for everyone to see in the open.

I thought I read somewhere (can't remember now) that the developers said in hard difficulty you had to manually move the bodies. So, unless they removed that feature, hopefully there is an action to pick up and drag the bodies to a hiding place.

Does anyone know if this is in the game in hard difficulty?

No, the only way to hide bodies is using the ability which is not available at hard difficulty.

He's not asking if their's a hiding body mechanic in hard. He's asking if the normal "carry agent" command is still available and usable on dead/unconcious bodies to move them somewhere else.

Ahh, yes, sorry. Well, there is no carry agent mechanic for dead enemy agents at any of the available difficulty levels. The carry agent mechanic is for living enemies and friendlies only, and from my understanding it should be available at every difficulty level.

oh man this is hilarious. enemy corpses become stapled to the ground in the highest difficulty. ooooooo

give me back my TUs and surprise-pathfinding-alien-nuclear-bombs. at least the playing field then would be level. ahahah wow.
They decided against manual hiding because playteting showed that it was tedious. Then they slapped a body hiding restriction on hard mode and called it a day. Reminds me of Metro: Last Light where hard mode disables your HUD and makes it completely impossible for you to know how many bullets you have left and the only way to know which consumable you have equipped is by knowing where everything on the item wheel is located because said wheel is also part of the HUD and thus doesn't show up. Same thing happened here it seems, making something harder without putting thought into it.

The manual that they recently released shows that there is a "Pick Up Agent" command, and the description says you can carry an unconscious friendly or enemy agent.

Did this get removed from the game? Is the manual incorrect?

People reading skills 0 -- But they complain anyway


In this game "hard"----- ) You are a spy , kill someone ---- the body is now attached to the ground, cant be move, drag or carry.

How it should work ---) Put the body on a black bag and take it to the evacuation with u -- drop it in the van -- no body funds

Or put it in a barrel drop some acid and wait a couple of turns to dissolve the body.

------ No op you cant do anything with the body, game is flawed or bugged or both.

Plus is real a spy has never killed an innocent before *sarcasm*
