Wonder what happened to our boi Seeker :/

As long as the 'mask of LOKI' is there, the handler's around. I guess Seeker is too. It would be a great story if the series are connected. This thing also uses manual saving as I can see it there, isn't that right?

afaik there is no manual saving, but the auto save will save more often and there will be more save slots for you to choose, not just one

[doomedSniper]

I see. it will be ultra difficult this time cuz this time I guess one can't manipulate the sandbox much(due to unreachable terrains) to overcome manual saving and bugs. Hoping for less bugs though.

hey there, the story in SGWContracts 2 is not a continuation of that from SGWContracts 1, which means we had to find another sniper assasin for seeker, which we did and is Raven.

There is no manual saving in SGWContracts 2, after a lot of playtesting we found that saving frequently at various points (A lot more than in SGWContracts/SGW3) makes for a much better sniping experience instead of allowing manual saves.

Thanks for your response. Never had any problems with the save-system but as you see a huge amount of players are seeking this and some of 'em have viable reasons too! And, I also think the save-system won't matter before the experience it will provide. I am thrilled already.

As expected. I appriciated that you guys still putting in some kind of cameo/easter egg of characters from previous games (like Cole Anderson in SGW3) :D

But there's some connection to it, though? This new dude is working for the same organization as Seeker?

I think seeker find the right side. Organisation send another one or a team. Seekers mask dropped on the sands.

The raven? dunno. We will live the seekers end :)

Looking at the video, it appears that the "mask" can provide ranges in realtime for arbitrary objects. (I would have preferred a laser or stereoscopic type so there would be some skill in its application, but I can live with the one shown in the video.)

Hopefully, there will be a setting to disable the magical automatic "tracking" function for players wanting more realism.

Looks like Seeker took his mask and went to run the Squid Games :)
