You have to do the papers to get the mayhem to get the broker to give you a contact. Just like in Port Oakes and Sharkhead and Nerva.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Do 5 Newspaper missions, then talk to your Broker (either Isabel the Knife or Ian the Shark) and get a Mayhem mission. Complete the mission and you will receive a choice of introductions.
I generally run three Mayhems before doing any contact missions whenever I enter a new zone. This insures that I can get all of the contacts possible for that range before I outlevel them.
I do it like this:
Run 5 Paper missions
Accept Mayhem
Run 5 more Paper missions
Run and complete Mayhem
Accept new Mayhem and Get first contact
Run 5 more Paper missions
Run and complete Mayhem
Accept new Mayhem and Get second contact
Run and complete Mayhem
Get third contact
Yup, that's how it works.
I wish it weren't though. I think having to do the relatively boring Newspaper mishes before getting any stories is pretty bogus, and one of my big complaints about red side.
I'd like to see the devs modify that. Have your broker introduce your first story-arc contact right away. I think that would work well and also relieve a lot of the tedium of what is often considered to be a paler red side experience.
Oh, well I can dream can't I?
I am having a problem finding a contact other than the newspaper in St. Martial. Is this common or can someone assist me? Thanks In Advance.
