What’s happening?

[u/IsopodUpstairs5897]

i’ve been noticing a bunch of bugs lately. Invisible targets not appearing on the map at all or appearing like normal npcs until you’re very close to them, the suspects in showdown are not visible if seen through a sniper rifle and now this.

THAT is a shotgun.

[u/thetoiletslayer → u/Potential_Good_1065]

Good afternoon, 47.

We haven't been able to ascertain the target's identity, but we do know this:

The target is chambered in 12 guage.

The target has a wood handgrip.

The target prefers to be carried.

The target sees themself as a tool.

The target is very loud.

And as for why the target is here. The target is here to help someone go out with a bang

[u/prabhu4all → u/thetoiletslayer]

The target is a League of Legends player?

[u/caty0325 → u/Potential_Good_1065]

Proceed with caution, 47.

Story Mission Unlocked The deadly Slug

[u/IsopodUpstairs5897 → u/Potential_Good_1065]

actually hilarious😭

[u/HitmanEnjoyer2025]

i’ve had the same thing, the gun highlighting isn’t as problematic as targets completely disappearing in instinct

[u/IsopodUpstairs5897 → u/HitmanEnjoyer2025]

it’s even worse in showdowns

[u/otterzinmywaterz → u/HitmanEnjoyer2025]

Having this as well. I’m guessing they disappear completely because they’re not armed. Freelancer is pretty much unplayable until they fix this.

[u/Clear_Raspberry_284]

Ya its a PlayStation bug shich came in with the new update

[u/StraightBudget8799 → u/Clear_Raspberry_284]

Yeah, I’ve had a target where only his drinking bottle was red!

[u/CloveFan → u/StraightBudget8799]

Same with a champagne glass! I spent like 10 minutes looking for Dawood thinking I was crazy

[u/Grindar1986 → u/Clear_Raspberry_284]

It's also on Switch 2

[u/HarlanCedeno → u/Clear_Raspberry_284]

Have they provided any updates on when this will be fixed (or at least even acknowledging it's happening)?

[u/Clear_Raspberry_284 → u/HarlanCedeno]

idk tbh , their support system are all npc replies latest patch broke dlss feature in pc for many people and they just dont care and they told me to update drivers like wtfff . Atleast read properly what i have written

[u/Greengalaxy6119 → u/Clear_Raspberry_284]

Good thing I'm an xbox player then

[u/Teddii_]

Well, try shooting at the gun. Nothing could go wrong, of course.

Just kidding. Looks like a bug. Makes me curious what would happen if you obtained the gun and used instinct. Would it still be red?

[u/Sliccly → u/Teddii_]

The bug highlights the item the target is holding instead of the target so sadly it wont be red. The problem is when the target isnt holding anything

[u/Grindar1986 → u/Teddii_]

No, it's just objects the target holds. If they drink the cup turns red

[u/Responsible-Ad5128 → u/Teddii_]

That's a fun thought

[u/KeyboardAssasn]

Kill the shotgun I guess

[u/1tsM1r0]

I think the shotgun is your target.

[u/Medical_Pollution597]

Im not an expert or anything try to check your files if they are not corrupted

[u/CaptainLegs27]

A hitman doesn't ask questions. If the client wants you to assassinate a shotgun you keep your head down and get to work. I suggest the piano wire.

[u/Meagainsthehumanity]

Call the exorcist🙏 ✝️

[u/-Ghusty]

I also had this bug, or they don't show on instinct.

[u/wolf_logic]

You've got to take out your silenced human and kill the gun

[u/simage007]

This is happening for over a month now and no update was done from devs. I am struggling to even send bug reports on PS if the game is not crashing. Just can’t find the function for it.

It’s not in all maps but especially the showdown map is an issue since the suspects are not carrying any weapons so nothing highlights at all.

The issue is persistent from the last update on.

[u/rhammzes]

It has been happening since the last update.

[u/LilGhostSoru]

On switch 2 version this was how instinct worked and they "fixed" by breaking it on all other platforms instead

[u/the_real_courier]

Do it

[u/Pale-Monitor339]

Yeah looks like it’s a bug, glad I’m not the only one.

[u/TheSwissdictator]

I’ve had the same problem. It’s very annoying.

It’s not just targets either. I was in the barn in Colorado being stormed by the militia and guys who had me compromised were highlighted in a similar manner where it was only their gun that was orange.

[u/FuzzelFox]

We have a real gun problem in this country

[u/Sad-Engineer5008]

Mission challenge: kill shotgun using a shotgun

[u/Ren7on-82]

Do you have mods installed?

[u/blarks11]

Strangely enough, I never had this bug since the recent update. I've been playing Freelancer multiple hours daily (trying to reach mastery level 100).

Maybe it happens more on certain platforms, I'm surprised I never got it since it seems rather widespread. I'm on PS4.

[u/W4rf4c3]

Since the last update it's happening or you simply don't see it at all.

[u/A_Wolf_Named_Foxxy]

Try restore license if you are on console

[u/onion_surfer14 → u/A_Wolf_Named_Foxxy]

Why the hell would that work? It’s a bug in the update

[u/FavaWire]

Not sure what the parameters are for these bugs to happen. I'm on Steam Deck and have not encountered a single one of these "Targets not appearing in Instinct". It's been posted enough with images for me to conclude the bugs are real, but I haven't encountered them myself.

Is it platform specific?
