Here's the sixth piece from the Seven Deadly Sins DLC, "The Envy Contention".
Silent Assassin, Suit Only. All objectives, including optional ones, done.
In this escalation 47 is disrespected and pitted against another, supposedly better assassin by the unseen voice of Envy who thinks 47 has become soft and lost his drive for success, having been at the top for so long. The gimmick here is that both 47 and the rival are going after the same targets for points and whomever gets more points, wins. I guess it's sort of like a light singleplayer ghost mode.
The rival gets up and starts moving only after the player gets up and then he just casually walks towards the targets, or the sniper position in level 3, from what I can tell uninterrupted by anything other than possibly the player bumping into him. Apart from sniping every one in the last level, I don't really know what he does to kill the targets. Doesn't seem like he's following the optional objectives the player gets.
I was planning to run through this escalation like the previous two, but when watching the cutscenes messed with the timing and I realised I could just as well walk in level 1 and get the same result as with running, I decided to continue on that path despite not having any idea how or if it would work.
I think it's also fair to the rival, too. He never runs anywhere either.
When I first played this escalation I had the bug with targets getting counted as non-targets in level 3, with the last guy getting sniped. It happened several times in a row and I got really tired of replaying it to get SA rating. Didn't happen this time and in fact I was in a better mood while recording this than with any of the other sins. Doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the escalation itself, though.
Playing this escalation unlocks the 'Odium Suit', 'The Cat's Claw' dagger and the 'Jaeger 7 Green Eye' sniper rifle. Nothing as good as bubble gum, but the suit looks nicer than the last.
