GIG: Fixer, Merc, Soldier, Spy - A Minor Issue

[Tylean]

Hello there,

During the Gig: Fixer, Merc, Soldier, Spy we are asked to first gain access to the hotel elevator.

Well, since we were asked to gain access to an elevator, I assumed we were going up. And I found an alternate way to the penthouse: by utilizing the double jump and the adjacent building, I can easily scale the fire escape stairs on the north wall of the hotel.

While I felt very smart and naughty, I realized the quest won't progress without you getting on the elevator in the lobby. So I killed everyone in the penthouse, took the elevator down, the quest realized I was in the elevator on the ground floor, then took it back up. Had to do two elevator trips for no reason and there wasn't even good elevator music while doing it.

I think the quest should understand that we are in the penthouse even if we didn't use the elevator. Or maybe the building can be remodeled so that we can not get to the roof by other means than the elevator.

I literally did the exact same thing, and encountered the same issue. I saw another thread about this quest being glitched where the poster said that after dropping off the shard they never recieved a call from regina. Ive yet to do that but wanted to see if anyone else had encountered this same issue with the penthouse flag. Will post an update once ive seen whether i recieve the call from regina about payment location

Update:
The quest worked fine, and im slightly surprised because i grabbed everything possible in the hotel (minus the key in front of the front desk merc) and messed around for quite a long time before actually meeting up to drop off the shard, like multiple police response, fights with gangs on the street, but Regina called me the second they drove away, and i got the bonus for being totally stealthy

I also climbed up to the top of the hotel but with charge jump instead of double.

The views from the staircase are quite nice

Same problem here. Which is somewhat annoying. Because the jumping route is clearly designed intentionally. Would be nice if that got cleaned up in the future.

And I have to agree with my fellow posters regarding the views on the way up. I suffer from a nervous fear of heights, which got progressively worse with every flight of stairs, all the way up to getting sweaty fingers on the final few jumps on that antenna. Very well done
