My man here trying to help people who value their time out while some elitists think it's an L move. Bro, we've all been playing the game for at least 5 years. Freelancer is a breath of fresh air and all, but we can't spend 50 hours grinding Merces.

They should let you stash Merces in your safehouse like weapons.

hitman freelancer made me into crypto invester chad

“Hit it where that pink is” 💀💀💀

I just tried this and confirm it’s legitimate. I’ve consistently hit in the stock market by timing the dip. Thanks

"shut up diana!" 🤣

Thanks for this btw, personally I haven't used this yet, but you spreading this tip around is good for the community! Keep it up!

Still works btw (PS5). If you want to save 15 minutes of your life though, here ya go. If you win money, enter a mission and dashboard and close your app and it will save your mercers. If you lose money, dashboard immediately inside the vault and your mercers before gambling will return.

Damn, this is great! Thank you, I couldn’t for the life of me hit it at the right time, definitely was confused!

Thanks for the info! I've always goto New York vault, picked up the mercer coins, and pulled the server out. Most I've gotten was 12k just from that. I'll have to do this now.

Just spent around 30 minutes doing this and it works. Each time I got merces, it was consistent at the 3.5k to 4k mark. Lost a few times, but the amount I got in that 30 minutes was worth it! Thanks for showing this, liked and subbed!!

i triggered it somewhere else and i'm pretty constant too (but i won less). One precision. I suppose the timer is consistent after have launched the game. If you try after a mission, the setup is no more viable.

5:22 "Shut up Diana" this made me laugh

Bravo good sir bravo. This is by far a wee gem to help out with weapon collecting.

I figured out the dip thing too but you saved my life with the quitting i had no idea

If you’re on pc do not press alt+f4 as it’ll be the same as the regular exit out of the game. Use task manager to close the game and keep everything

“Shut up, Diana!” sounds awfully familiar to me 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't realize what it shows on the screen in the vault actually means anything, that's really helpful.

This only works about 10% of the time for me. However, this video was posted a month ago, and the exploit could have been patched on the PC version. The saving technique works perfectly, the market graph means nothing, though.

Dude badass thanks

I usually quit the game with alt+F4, because its faster. So what I started doing is, before I quit the game, I give the stock market a go and then save and quit or alt+F4 depending on if I win.

Great video mate

wait... if you win merces, you quit to save the game. And then you load up freelancer again and try the stock market. If you lose, you close the application without saving and the process continues. I think that's easier than starting the mission plus it reduces time taken to load

Awesome! Thanks man! This helps a lot! Yea its a lot of grinding but in my opinion its worth. Sometimes if you wanna make it in this rap game you gotta grind it out abit.

Just got the Vault and so far have hit every time! Thanks dude 🍻

I'm doing this mainly because I want all the pistols. I already have most, and 2/3 legendary just from playing normally and beating the entire campaign 3 times but this should speed it up

Another quick way to leave a mission without loosing money in items is to go to your network settings on your console in disconnect your internet in turn it back on. Then when you go back to the game it will give you a option to retry in connect or go back to the main menu. Go back to the main menu then go back online in load freelancer again. It might be a little quicker than closing the game itself

Thanks for the info hopefully this isn’t a glitch or something and they patch it.

The saving process work the same in ps 4? Pushing the home button and close the application while you’re in the board screen?

Ngl I prefer just having to use what I have and can afford with the money I've gotten from missions to run in freelancer. You'll be spending just as much time grinding money like this as you do your campaign instead of just... well, doing the campaign. It's up to preference ig but I thought I'd chip my opinion in.

y it definitely doesn't work every time, as i finished the mission, timed it so i hit it when the lines are "red" on the screen, and still lost 1.3k or smth around that, small amount doesn't matter.

Bad news I think IO saw this as a glitch and apparently fixed it in an off-the-charts no-download-is-necessary update. I now lose everytime I try this.

Cheers! Great strategy.

Works great thanks its all about the perfect timing.

THANKS. The moment I lost all collectors tools I wanted to cheat, because there's no point grinding and spending 30,000 on a lockpick, 40,00 on a dart gun that disappears just as quick as the common shiv, even if I don't bring them on a mission??? It's borked, so alt f4 for me and no regrets.

Wow might try this in a minute

Your voice sounds like bodyguard

I'm pretty sure when you check the market doesn't really matter, and the whole "betting on the dip" thing is just confirmation bias. Still good to know you can basically abuse this since it saves your Merces count only on mission start.

I know I might be sounding new even though i played hitman contracts and 2 since I was a kid and every other single game. But how do get that outfit with the dark glasses is it an elusive target or through challenges?

If you loose mercers doing this, then quit the game (NOT exit to menu) and start it again. Since you haven’t started a new mission yet, the money you lost will now be back :-)

It works! Thanks

As far as the stock market goes if you make a trade and you lose money just quit the game you'll get your money back it don't press start an exit I mean quit same thing when you're on a mission if you get into a gunfight that you think you can't win just quit the game you get to keep all your stuff and try again

My guy 💪🏾

Using this to get my Mercers back because the game decided to crash on a perfect run right when I was about to hold down the button to exit the mission

Where the hell u get shades on the suit from? 🤔 Bout to test this out ive won 3 times back to back but it only happened 1 time each earning less money.

Interesting, thanks. BTW, you might want to make your videos louder than this one is.

Why do I have to go Into a mission and leave before I can check the stock market again, will it not work if I don’t do that?

I'll try this. I have lost equipment due to me failing missions and not having the Merces to buy stuff back.

The weird thing is that it's actually 4 monitors and not a crosshair.

THE DIP ACTUALLY GOES CRAZY

Can Confirm. I have different time to hit every time. It’s right before the little spike before the dip.

great video, gonna be a millionaire in no time

Since playing I've bet 5 times 2-3 win to HM3 but defo guna try this 🤟💪🤞💥

At the rate of doing this you are better off just grinding missions lol, and you'll have more fun. Just make sure to pick syndicates with New York so you can raid the safe. That's an easy 8-13k extra.

Uhh im 90 percent sure this is patched there is an unatural dip everytime i restart i lose money i have restarted over 15 times now and ive tried different points but I can make a little cash after i have played through a mission and alt f4 on pc now works as of the new patch

you're a genius thanks !!!

Did this perfectly and failed every single time 😂

Love hitman freelancer it's just super hard 😅

I haven’t seen this on any yt things before but every time I fail a mission in free lancer since it came out I’ve just left before I die(usually what it comes to) and I just hard quit the game and it sends me to the safe house with all my stuff

So basically the alt f4 trick for console to an extent.

Thank you Sean Strickland 😊

I dont know if this comment section is still very active, but I didnt know where else to post my question (if you know better places, let me know). I currently am mastery 40 in freelancer, around that, maybe 41 or 42. Recently I encountered a problem with bringing back sniper rifles from missions into the safehouse. When used in the mission and left behind the weapon is lost, thats clear. But I played two maps where I definitely took the sniper with me when exiting (one time on my back and once in a briefcase in my hand) and both times the weapon was no where to be found when getting back from the mission. This accured in a normal mission the first time around and in a showdown mission the second time. So its not even bound to the mission. My chosen transportations of the sniper e.g. once on the back and once in a briefcase work on literally every single other item/weapon in the game and never was a problem until then. I could ignore the loss of the second sniper, it was a basic blue sniper for like 17-20k which isnt that much anymore, so I wouldnt care, but the first sniper was the white arctic epic rifle (dont know the exact name) which is worth substentially more and isnt a loss taken lightly by me. I have almost every item in the game and I can for sure play on without them but it is a tedious task to farm back the merces and find a dealer who sells it, just to get a weapon back, thats literally ALREADY MINE. This just made me hate missions where snipers are requirred and I now regularry skip extra requirements involving snipers and skip on the extra merces and experience to just keep my damn weapons. I tested it multiple other times and it seems to only be a problem once in a while as the other tests went fine with me normally retrieving my weapon. Maybe it has something to do with the maps, the normal mission was Paris (sniper in briefcase in my hand) and the showdown was Mendoza (sniper on my back). Would love to hear some advice or in general if somebody else encountered these problems of if I am alone with this situation. If you read through all of this, thank you dearly my fellow Hitman, may the gods of IO shine upon you.

This works thank you

I think if you lose money you can probably just quit the game before it saves and regain what you lost.

Great information, thank you so much!🤗

all u gotta do is exit to main menu right after you win, and disconnect the internet if you loose, exit to menu, reconnect, rejoin

5:25 Shut up Diana ! lol made my day

just tested this out it works. only thing is you cant quit to menu because although you will retain the money you can't buy stocks again. this way is the only way to do it so far

Untick and tick your internet on console if u lose to keep mercers

Took my whole 6 bands going off ur logic

Does it work on PC? will I save my mercers after pausing and quiting the game by windows button?

It just worked bro wow i really was down 2,000 last night I just did wat I always do and I got my money back

I bet IO will patch this some where down the line i bet

Thank you, it still works, even though i think its very random whether you win or lose, no matter wat the chart says 🕵🏻

Thanks man

I’m gonna dip deez nuts in hot lava if this game doesn’t stop being so relentless. I’ve got to say Freelancer is the greatest thing since Blood Money, I came back to hitman after big Payday 3 disappointment to find it has an extraction mode and nearly creamed. The difficulty is so much more fun and feels more repeatable

Since some people are disagreeing with each other in the comments, I decided to deliberately blow myself up to see what happens. I lost everything that I brought into the mission, which was a bomb, and half of my Merces. All of my safehouse items, even the Freelancer tools, were still there and I lost the only Freelancer item that I used in the mission. I wasn't playing a hardcore campaign. I'll try that once I finish my second campaign.

Dont work for me :(

I tried it an hour ago, the way you said, and lost over 5k lol Then i tried it again and gained over 6k lol i kept trying, but i lost three times in a row. So maybe they patched something...?

Thank you g i started with 2k now I got 60k😂

this still work for anyone? I haven't tried yet

Yall remeber doing this same shit with blackjack in GTA 5?

I didn’t understand when it’s best to do the bet. when the market is green or when it is red?

I trust that you tested this guide but I don't trust myself to do it right

Once you've reached the later mastery levels, starting from 60 to 70-ish, Merces don't mean anything anymore. You'll be hogging hundreds of thousands of them, maybe even a million, and nowhere to spend them on.

Thank god i have a fast PC 😂

What suit is that?

Have you tried buying at the dip, then selling at the highest spot?

I can say with confidence this trick does not work. I just lost like 90% of my Merces twice in a row. Timed the dip perfectly didn’t matter. What a waste.

what mastery level are most people? i am 89 right now

The stock market should stay crashed for 12 hours after losing Hardcore Mode.

Literally every time I've done it it's just wiped me out. Ever. Damn. Time

On Xbox One the load times make this about 2 minutes per attempt, so not super viable

thanks, man timings notes: 3:20 dip, 5:10 exit, 7:10 dip, 9:15 dip, 12:15 dip

Dam I literally lose 14k then...I just thought you "play" put all you money in and at some point you "win" get money back..11k first time and 3k next time..took all of it🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve made millions of merces doing the same principle as you lol 😅

IF WIN: Exit to main menu, go to safe house, book then cancel a flight, try stock market again. IF LOSE: ALT+F4, restart game, go to safe house, book then cancel a flight, try stock market again. works at 2024.01.28. latest update (PC) (maybe works with xbox too.)

The stock market screen is still pretty confusing, I don't know why IOI choose to represent positive value with these downward red lines, my best guess is that they wanted to confuse players so as not to make it so simple. But then, why would the whole screen turn red when you lose? Nothing really seem to make a lot of sense, it's probably randomized anyway.

How did u get the suit just how

It takes talent Fs I tried this like 20 times and only got it 4 times outta all 20 times🤣😭
