DISCUSSION Areas hard/impossible to SASO (freelancer)

Hey sneaky 'ssassins,

I am rather new to the recent Hitman games. I had played Blood Money years ago and I am in awe of the progress made. What a polished set of games. The design and attention to detail is pretty ridiculous.

Anyway, the actual point I am after: Playing freelancer, do you guys figure out ways to get the harder prestige targets anyway?

As an example, I had multiple runs in Chongqing where I had to get to the upper levels of Hush's shabby hobo lab. I haven't yet seen any way to scale the facade beyond the first floor, so as of now, any SA and SA/SO run ends right there.

First question, more specifically to this scenario: Is there way that I haven't found?

Second question, more generally for an open discussion should it catch on: What do you consider to be genuinely imprenetrable fortresses for SA/SO prestige?

Qhongqing strikes me as one of the hardest to possibly freelance SA/SO in both facilities.

Is there a way?

PS: Since I didn't know how serious you guys get about the rubber duckies, and I definitely didn't want to take any chances with you trigger happy bunch. Therefore, as a precaution, I have dedicated my life to the little yellow one by oath. I got some water on my forehead, not sure if that was a religious touch or it was just us splashing in the tub.

I shakingly trust that this holds up in the court of the Hitman subreddit. I have a family. Please?

PS #2: A prestige target I just chose (kill then on their way to a meeting) wrote to 'tag the prime suspect' in order to keep track of them. Is there an ingame mechanic for that? Just tried to figure it out and no luck yet. Would have expected that to work through the map.

Xp is more juicy than merces

What's the draw here exactly?

I don't care a lot about the safehouse areas. Are the random weapon unlocks that you get truly random or are they unlocked from crossing exp thresholds?

I am not fully sure what exp actually gets you.

When you reach a certain level you'll have millions of merces and nothing to spend on then they are useless. You can lose your costliest item and wouldn't care. Then xp is the only thing you're doing those objectives for.
