Trophies/Achievements
We've resolved an issue that could prevent the "Reach Mastery Level xx" achievements/trophies from triggering, despite players reaching that milestone. In some cases, this issue could also prevent PlayStation players from earning the Platinum trophy. Players that accept been affected should unlock the relevant trophies/achievements when they launch the game after installing the 3.xi patch.

Trespassing Agility
We've updated the HUD rules to accurately display when Agent 47 is trespassing whilst performing agility moves (climbing, vaulting, etc). In the past, the HUD would show that all pipes and ledges were 'non-trespassing' even when that wasn't the case. In truth, 47 was trespassing, but the HUD didn't reverberate that.

This change will mean that the HUD will display accurately when you are trespassing. This may cause for some inconsistencies (such as only one-half of a drain pipe existence a trespass zone), just the data yous see volition now be accurate co-ordinate to the mission setups. Nosotros're monitoring whatsoever further problems that might come upwards on this.

Fail Meliorate
We've adjusted the cherry SA HUD indicator (SA 'failed') to brand it easier to identify when compared to the green land. The scarlet icon is now a reddish outline of the SA HUD icon, rather than a solid carmine colour. The green icon remains solid. This should make the ruby and green states easier to identify for some colorblind players.


Location Changes: Dubai, UAE

Unintended Base of operations Leap
Nosotros've adjusted a few places where Amanuensis 47 would jump off the side of the building and outside of the playable area instead of 'vaulting', like the prompt suggests he can.

Arachnid Pointing Meme
