Intro
A major feature being added to the upcoming Alpha 0.2.0 release is Mission System v1.0. This includes a variety of mission types, some unique one-shot-only missions, reputation system and more.
Garrett’s List
Garrett’s List is the primary source for obtaining missions. The primary interface is accessed via the klept_os desktop before entering a neighborhood. Once you’ve accepted a contract, there’s no backing out. Your reputation is on the line.
Be cautious of the contracts you accept, especially if the contact is using a new account on Garrett’s List. You never know when it might be a police sting...
Once inside a neighborhood, you can use the Garrett’s List companion app on your klept_os Mobile to track your mission objectives.
Reputation
Reputation is gained from the successful completion of contracts on Garrett’s List. This includes an overall community reputation and contact specific reputation. Failing contracts can negatively impact your rep resulting in lower payouts and lower-tiered missions being available.
Contract Completion
Completing a contract often involve a physical exchange of an item. Sometimes this is a face-to-face, other times it's via a dead drop location. A waypoint for the destination will be available on the map when players exit the neighborhood.
Mission Types
Here’s a breakdown of some planned mission categories included in Mission System v1.0:
Car Repo
We’ve just added a vehicle damage system to the internal build. The new repo missions will require delivery of an undamaged vehicle for full payout. Delivering a highly damaged vehicle will likely result in negative reputation with the mission contact.
Happy Cleaners
Keep an eye out for unclaimed dry cleaning tickets. Stealing these tickets and returning them to Mr. Wong at Happy Cleaners in Oldtown will unlock the corresponding cosmetic item for purchase.
Data Theft
This missions typically involve locating and obtaining digital assets from a residents computer. Easier missions can be completed by stealing and delivering the entire computer while others rely on leaving no evidence behind by gaining access to the computer locally (or remotely with Hacking v2.0) and copying the files to your thumbdrive.
Fortunately, a majority of the residents are still running older versions of the Fences operating system. More details on this with the upcoming Hacking v1.0 article.
Vandalism
Sure, stealing is financially rewarding but smashing things is so much more satisfying. These missions involve inflicting physical damage to the target assets.
Newspaper reDelivery
Being a startup company for dying media can be tough and expensive but not when your competition is offsetting the expenses. ReDelivery missions involve stealing newspapers from subscribers of the big evil newspaper conglomerate and redelivering them to the more cost-concerned subscribers of reDelivery.
Item Theft
I shouldn’t have to explain this one to any reputable burglar. Someone wants something specific and it’s not for you to ask why. However, these missions may sometimes present some ethical dilemmas for the player.
Blackmail
Yes, I know it may be counter intuitive for you to break into a home and leave items rather than take them but I assure you, it’s for the greater good (for someone). These missions will vary between digital and physical evidence being planted with future plans to expand this category to also include obtaining photos of incriminating activities.
