Contacts in KW

[grazerlor]

I see the Vigilante contact in KW as a Vigilante and he tells me he can't talk to me. And when I see the contact for Hero'es, he can talk to me.

Unlock via Tip mission first. Robert Kogan requires completing the tip mission "Skulls vs Family"

Helpful post. 

As one who is typically obtuse, perhaps it should stand out in the same fashion the tip to unlock Morty Kal stands out. The only distinction I see (after the fact) is that it doesn't have that icon on the left, and as a result, the title of the tip isn't in the center. While zipping around, I see the tip message, but because I was unaware I needed a tip, I never paid them any mind at all. I had to visit the patch notes - again, because each page they drop is so large, it's a bit much for my aging brain to remember all of it. That and I just skim through it. 

Now I get it - that's my fault. The answers are here on these forums. But in game - the solution "you need a tip to unlock it" - that's not in game. or if it is, big surprise, it escaped my notice.

It will probably get smoothed out once they drop the next issue with the things they wanted to put in first in this issue, before the stuff they released, but didn't have finished.  I had to ask around too about this when it was on Brainstorm.

If you talk to Kogan and do not meet one or more of the requirements to talk to him, it says "Hello, {HeroName}! Got a hot tip for me? No? Well, have a good day then.

 

You must be a Vigilante of at least Security Level 40 and have completed the Skulls vs Family? tip mission to talk to this contact."

It did and does say that, yes. And my silly brain went to the SG computer to buy the tip to avoid having to hunt random mobs for it. My idiot self even posted my disappointment about that not being available. I mean, "tip mission" right? Now, as the dust has settled, I realize how stupid I was. Almost comically stupid if it weren't so sad.

It's fine, we all have the dumbs from time to time. I believe the first mob you kill will drop the tip mission if you are a Vigilante over level 40.
