Some guns will only be unlocked if found in the single player game first, others you just buy direct

You only have access to safehouse weapons doing contracts

Okay, I'm confused: It's only available in Contracts, but you access it during Quick-Play? How the bloody dickens do you select a specific weapon to be required when you are creating a contract? Quick-Play and Create Contract have different loadout options in that creating a contract you can't choose your loadout, right?

Absolution is the first Hitman game where you cannot customize Single-Player loadout, and although I've been playing Absolution for years in SP mode, I've only recently started messing with contracts.

I missed this option too, but its there. Most of my Contracts have a specific weapon required to kill, which I pre-selected. You can do the same with disguises you've unlocked.

Yeah, you need to unlock the stuff before you can do contracts. Its basically the same as single player, contracts can be very difficult though.

Quick play is one of several options to play contracts, create contract is to make new ones. You don't need to make new ones if you just want to play them (you play other peoples that they have made)

You can access customizations before playing them or before creating them, because while creating them you have the option to customize the required kill methods

Absolution is the first Hitman game where you cannot customize Single-Player loadout

And that's 1 of about 100 reasons why Absolution is generally considered among the worst of the Hitman games. It's on OK stealth game on it's own, but it falls short of being a good Hitman game compared to the rest, by a lot

I have tried like crazy to specify conditions during contract creation, but some of the gawddamned things refuse to un-grey, and I can't find ANY way to specify weapons or disguises except by toggling requirements on / off. The in-game tutorials suck dingo-rectums, because they SAY you can do certain things but don't SHOW you how to do them.

And Birdkoo? What kind of moron would complain about being unable to customize LOCKED items? Of COURSE I'm complaining about UNLOCKED items!

Screw this. I'm abandoning my exploration of contracts. It's simply not worth the effort required to perform workarounds to bypass developer incompetence; there's insufficient motivation. I ahve high blood pressure, so I'm GTFOing before I pop a cerebral artery.

It's the same as Hitman(2016) you can't specify conditions until you prove they can be done, you bring specific weapons and disguises, complete the contract with them and then use those as the options after you finish it. If you don't have the weapons and disguises unlocked to use them, you simply cant use them

It was their first attempt at the system and its not nearly as robust as the newer games version of contracts

I was bored after a dozen contracts in absolution, compared to Hitman(2016) I've done 100's and still going

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
