An Introduction to Defiance Contracts

[Flynn]

I'm more worried about missing out on contracts that we can't ever attempt again (if there are any, that is) because the game is lagging out and crashing all day. Will they be made available again so that we may attempt them when the issues are resolved?

[Weasul]

The Contracts themselves need a serious go-round with Design (not QA).

For example : today there is a Contract to kill mutants at radio towers in Mount Tam. Anyone who is EGO 250+ and thus eligible for contracts has almost certainly done the KTAM radio quest series. Once you finish that series the mutants no longer spawn at KTAM or any of the Radio Towers and so you cannot kill them for the quest. The only chance you have to complete this contract is to wait at a radio tower for someone lower level to come along and trigger the spawn...

San Francisco is currently "off limits" until the first content patch (there is Mass Effect like reaper guarding the bridge) and so the contracts that require mobs be killed in San Fran are impossible in this initial release

These are not 'bugs' they are principle flaws of Design.

This is exactly my problem; I've been scrambling around looking for information as to where the radio towers are, drove over, and saw there was nothing spawned. Got lucky enough that someone on the tower mission showed up, but upon killing the mutants, nothing dropped. Funnily enough, on the way to the radio towers, I got credit for a Top Notch contract that I wasn't even aware of, and got the achievement for it. Weird.

Is there away to find where you need to go to do a contract? Like mine 99 I've been there befor but for the life of me I can't remember we're it is om the map now and I don't fancy driving around every where to find it again. No dout I'll drive past it as soon as the contracts over.

The Motherlode Co-op mission take splace in Mine 99. You can complete it easily running that mission once.

Where are the docks that you have to kill the raiders on for the contract?

Where are the docks that you have to kill the raiders on for the contract?

Drive from the Bug n' Chug Station north to till the "real" road begins. On your left there is the bay...
It is next the the "black little island"

Went back in and found it - and completed a couple of the contracts.

I think it would be better if the contracts page was visible from Level 1, even if there was a greyed out message saying it would only be available once you hit EGO 250. Since it is on a screen that up until then only has Pursuits it is easy to miss the tab option at the top, afterall you will have been to the Pursuits page multiple times before you reach 250, so no reason to look for another tab.

As for the comments about radio towers - not a problem - I went to North radio tower and mutants spawned there as I reached it - no other players around. I cleared it, then went a short distance away while sorting my inventory and when I came back mutants had re-populated the site - cleared again and had my 20 kills.

What is the max contracts rep/status? Currently my highest is at 300 rep, status: Reliable. The next status is at 600 rep. The rep pursuits only go as far as reliable.

Would be nice if someone take a screen of the map and add color dot to it whit all the contract location

Thanks for the link. Will be sure to check it out. But 50 and 75 Bulwarks Data Chip thing isn't funny at all. Not only are they a BEECH to fight, they're also very rare -_-
