NEW PLAYER GUIDE TO COMPLETING DUKE'S MISSIONS

New to Torn? This guide covers Duke's Missions (the daily contracts), what each one asks you to do and how to do it, plus a few common questions at the end.

A FEW TIPS THAT APPLY TO ALMOST EVERY MISSION

These are general tips, not hard rules - a few missions have exceptions (for example, Bare Knuckle fails the moment you use any weapon or armour, so the "soften them first" tip does not apply there). Always follow a mission's own notes below if they differ from these.

Attack someone you can actually beat. For any 'defeat/attack a player' mission, pick low-stat or inactive players so you don't lose the fight. When a mission does NOT name a specific target (for example 'defeat any 5 players'), you can choose anyone, so pick the easiest opponents you can find.
Use target lists to find easy opponents. Community target lists (such as Baldr's Extra Targets or level-targeting lists) are full of inactive, low-defence players. You can also save handy targets to your Friends or Enemy list so you can find them again quickly, which is useful for repeat-attack missions.
Know your 'utility' (non-damaging) temporary weapons. Items like the Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade, Tear Gas, Pepper Spray and stat boosters (Needles) don't deal damage - they lower the target's stats (or boost yours). Pepper Spray in particular lowers the target's dexterity, which makes your hits land - handy for missions that ask you to injure a specific body part. Many missions that limit which real weapon you can use still allow these.
Choose 'Leave' when you win. If a mission needs you to hit the same named player several times, finish with Leave (not Hospitalize) so they leave the hospital sooner, and you can attack again.
Too strong? Soften them first. If a 'defeat with a specific weapon' target is stronger than you, hit them once with a bomb or your primary to drop their life, wait until they're out of the hospital, then finish with the required weapon.
Can't win solo? Get a hand from your faction. If you still can't beat the target, ask a factionmate to soften them first: have them attack the target and, importantly, use utility temporary weapons (smoke grenade, flash grenade, tear gas, etc.) to lower the target's stats, then choose Leave. Wait until the target is out of the hospital, then attack them yourself to land the winning hit.
Sending an item or parcel? To send a parcel: get the item and an empty box from the Post Office or the Item Market, box it up, then send the parcel from your Items page (find the parcel, click Send, enter the recipient, send). To send an item directly: go to your Items page, find the item, click Send, choose the recipient, and send.
Read the mission name carefully. Some Duke missions share a name with a crime or feature but are completely different (see Graffiti and Critical Education below).

DUKE MISSIONS (daily contracts)

How they work: Complete 10 Duke contracts, gain Protégé Honor Bar. This will take a minimum of 7 days. You start with 3 contracts in the beginning, and get 1 new contract per day. Maximum 3 contracts at a time, or 5 in a 3* or higher Logistics Company. New contract is given out at 00:00 TCT. On each contract you can click Accept Contract to take it on, or Decline Contract to pass on one you don't want (declining costs less Agent standing than failing an accepted one). Each contract shows its cash and Mission credit reward before you accept.

Mission	Objective	How to
A Good Day to Get Hard	Achieve a kill streak of 10	1) Accept the 'A Good Day to Get Hard' contract from the Missions page. 2) Build a kill streak of 10 by defeating players. You don't have to buy defends: the simplest way is to attack players you are confident you can beat, such as those with lower stats than you, or inactive players. 3) Be careful: if you lose a fight or get killed, your streak resets and you have to start over. 4) Once your kill streak reaches 10, return to the mission and click Complete. 5) Alternative: you can buy losses (paid defends) from other players to build the streak faster, but this costs money.
A Kimpossible Task	Defeat 1 Named Player using only melee and temporary weapons	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the target using only melee and temporary weapons; do not use your primary or secondary weapons. 4) Note that guns do not have to be unequipped. 5) Once the target is defeated, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
A Problem at the Tracks	Defeat 3 Named Players without using guns	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and find your 3 Named Player targets via Player Search. 2) You do NOT need to unequip your guns - just leave them equipped and don't use them (a gun dealing more than 0 damage fails the mission). One point that trips people up: the Flamethrower counts as a gun for this mission, but the Blowgun does NOT (it is a Piercing weapon, not a gun) and is fine to use. 3) A practical approach: hit the target with Pepper Spray (a non-damaging temporary weapon) first, then finish them off with a melee weapon. Don't soften the target with a gun beforehand. 4) Defeat all 3 Named Players this way, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
A Thor Loser	Use Duke's Hammer to hit (up to) 14 different body parts during attacks	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip Duke's Hammer as your weapon. 3) Pick a target with high defence but low dexterity: high defence means they survive many hits in a single attack, and low DEXTERITY (not low speed) is what keeps your own hits landing; a target's speed only affects how often they hit you back, not your accuracy. Community lists that estimate players' stats help you find one. 4) During attacks, land hits on up to 14 different body parts: Head, Throat, Chest, Heart, Stomach, Groin, Right and Left Arms, Right and Left Hands, Right and Left Legs, and Right and Left Feet. The body parts accumulate across attacks, so you do not need them all in one fight. 5) Best approach: do this during your NPC fights (the 2-3 chain fights per day against Duke, Jimmy or Leslie). You get a long run of hits (around 25) in a single fight and the NPC does not hit back, so you land far more body-part hits per fight and finish faster. Since Duke's Hammer is a melee weapon there are no reload turns wasted either. 6) To make more hits land on a player target, lower their dexterity with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray. 7) Once you have hit the required body parts, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Against the Odds	Defeat 2 Named Players	1) Go to the Missions page and accept the Against the Odds contract from Duke. 2) Use Player Search to locate each of the 2 Named Player targets. 3) Attack and defeat both named targets, using any weapon you like. 4) Return to the mission and click Complete once both are defeated.
An Honorary Degree	Defeat 1 Named Player without using any guns	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Guns can stay equipped - just don't use one (a gun dealing more than 0 damage fails the mission; note the Flamethrower also counts as a gun). 3) Defeat the target with melee weapons, fists, kick, or non-damaging temporary weapons. Blowgun, Crossbow and Harpoon are allowed because they are piercing weapons, not guns. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Army of One	Attack 1 Named Player 3 times as normal, with mask, and then with a different mask	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Duke sends you 2 random masks to wear. 3) Find the Named Player target using Player Search and attack them 3 times as normal: one attack wearing one mask, and another attack wearing a different mask. 4) One attack must have NO mask on at all. A common slip-up is having a mask still equipped from your saved loadout (separate from the 2 masks Duke sent) and not noticing, so double-check your gear is mask-free for the unmasked attack. 5) You do not need to defeat the target for the mission to succeed; when finished, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Bakeout Breakout	Buy a Fruitcake, use Cake Frosting & Lock Picking Kit from inventory sent by Duke, then send Special Fruitcake to any player in Jail. Player now has a random chance to instantly escape from jail.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Buy a Fruitcake, then use the Cake Frosting and Lock Picking Kit that Duke sent to your inventory to create a Special Fruitcake. 3) Send the Special Fruitcake to any player currently in Jail (note it is non-tradeable and non-sellable); a handy method is to keep the Jail open in one tab and your Items in another, and pick someone with a high number of hours left who is unlikely to be busted or bailed soon. The item can only be sent to someone who is actually in Jail, so if your target gets busted out just as you send it, the send simply fails and you pick another target. 4) The recipient then has a random chance to instantly escape jail. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Bare Knuckle	Defeat 1 Named Player with NO weapons or armour equipped	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Unequip all armour and weapons so you are fighting only with fists or kicks. 3) Note that debuffing utility (non-damaging) temporary weapons such as Flash Grenade or Tear Gas are allowed. 4) Find the Named Player target via Player Search and defeat them using only fists or kicks. Important: the usual 'soften them first with a bomb or your primary' tip does NOT work for this mission. It fails the instant you make an attack with a gun or with any armour equipped, not just on the finishing hit. The good news is you can retry as many times as you like, as long as every attack is fully unarmed and unarmoured; one armed or armoured attack fails it. 5) Be aware that residual temps carried over from a previous fight may also fail this mission. 6) Click Complete once the named target is defeated.
Batshit Crazy	Inflict a set amount of damage with Duke's bat (Penelope), scaling with the mission's difficulty tier from about half your max life on the easiest tier up to six times your max life on the hardest	1) Accept the Batshit Crazy contract on the Missions page; Duke sends you the bat Penelope. 2) Equip Penelope. It helps to set your defence to melee and buy defends, and chaining works well while you do this. 3) Deal the required damage to the target using Penelope. The amount needed scales with the mission's difficulty tier (from about half your max life on the easiest tier up to six times your max life on the hardest). 4) This one is counter-intuitive: you want HIGH-HP targets. A target who just left the hospital has very little life left and gives you almost no progress, so avoid them and pick someone at or near full life. Doing this during NPC fights (Duke, Jimmy or Leslie) is an efficient way to rack up the damage. 5) Note: you do NOT need to win the fight; you only need to deal the required amount of damage. 6) Once you have dealt the required damage, click Complete.
Battering Ram	Attack 1 Named Player 3 times	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack that target 3 times - you do not need to defeat them, you only need to attack. 3) When you win an attack, the target gets sent to the hospital, so choose 'Leave' as the outcome (not Hospitalize). That keeps their hospital time short so they recover faster and you can attack them again sooner. 4) Once you have attacked the target 3 times, click Complete. (The 'choose Leave' tip applies to any mission where you must attack the same named player several times.)
Big Tub of Muscle	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their gargantuan strength	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Their strength is enormous, so use utility (non-damaging) temporary weapons - a Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade or Tear Gas - to lower their stats enough that your hits land. A Serotonin booster, or stacking boosters on easy targets beforehand, can also help (though that can get expensive). Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Attack and defeat the target. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Birthday Surprise	Obtain afro comb/edvd/laptop, place in empty box, giftwrap, send to Duke. Item may vary.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and note which item is requested (it may vary between afro comb, EDVD, or laptop). 2) Obtain the requested item, plus an empty box and gift wrap. Any wrapping paper works; it does not have to be the birthday wrapping paper. You can buy these from the Post Office (if you still have daily item purchases remaining) or from the Item Market. 3) Place the item in the empty box and gift wrap it to make a Present. 4) Send it to Duke as a Present; Send it from your Items page: find the present, click Send, enter Duke as the recipient, and send it. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete. The cash prize is usually the average market price of the item.
Bonnie & Clyde	Defeat 1 Named Player and their SPOUSE (2 total)	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target via Player Search. 3) Defeat the named target and also defeat their spouse, for 2 defeats in total. 4) You may use any weapon to defeat the targets. 5) Click Complete once both have been defeated.
Bountiful	Claim 2, 3, or 5 bounties	1) Accept the Bountiful contract on the Missions page. 2) Open the Newspaper page and go to the Bounties tab. 3) To claim a bounty, defeat the target and hospitalize them. 4) Repeat until you have claimed the required 2, 3, or 5 bounties. 5) Return and click Complete.
Bounty on the Mutiny	Bounty Named Player and wait for bounty to be fulfilled	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Place a bounty on that Named Player - note you cannot claim your own bounty. 3) Wait for the bounty to be fulfilled; you can ask a factionmate to fulfil it for you. The cash prize is still calculated based on the old bounty system. 4) Once the bounty has been fulfilled, click Complete.
Bring It!	Defeat Duke within 7 days of activating this mission.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page; you must accept it before the group attack against Duke begins (the group attack as a whole, not your own attack). 2) Jump in on Duke when he gets looted 5-6 times a day. 3) Defeat Duke within 7 days of activating this mission; you do not have to land the finishing hit. 4) Completing this unlocks Expert Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Candy from Babies	Collect $150k or $250k in bounties	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Go to Newspaper > Bounties tab to find targets. 3) Claim bounties by defeating each target and hospitalizing them, collecting either $150k or $250k in total bounties as required. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Charity Work	Mug 2 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Open each of the 2 named targets, either by clicking the target's link in the mission text or by looking them up with Player Search. 3) Attack and successfully mug each of them. 4) If a target was recently mugged you may get little or nothing; a common workaround is to send them $1,000 first, then mug it back. 5) Once both mugs succeed, click Complete.
Cracking Up	Defeat & Interrogate Named Player to find the code for Duke's Safe	1) Accept the Cracking Up contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Defeat the named target, then click the Interrogate button to interrogate them and find the code for Duke's Safe. 3) Interrogate the defeated target and choose to reveal the code. It can take several attempts before the target gives you the option to reveal it (community-reported at around 40% per attempt), so keep trying. 4) Once you have the code, complete the mission straight away: the code expires at the end of the Torn day and will not work the next day. If it expires, you have to defeat and interrogate the target again to get a fresh code. 5) Use the Duke's Safe from your inventory and enter the combination to open it (contents vary). 6) Send that item to Duke to complete the mission. You do not need to wrap it, send it directly from your Items page (item inventory) to the recipient, Duke [4]. 7) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Critical Education	Achieve 8 critical hits	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page. 2) Attack players and land 8 critical hits. 3) To land crits more easily, use a crit-boosting weapon mod such as a Laser Sight (weapon mods can be bought from the mission shop with mission credits and then attached to a suitable weapon). The weapon bonus you want is Expose, which raises your critical hit rate; the Deadly bonus does NOT help here, as it only boosts damage. Check your faction armoury too, since the faction may have an Expose weapon you can borrow. 4) Doing this during NPC attacks gives you more chances to land crits per 25 energy. 5) Once you have achieved 8 critical hits, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Cut Them Down to Size	Defeat ANY Player your level or higher Requirement to Unlock Very Hard Missions	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find any player who is your level or higher. 3) A friend can help by unequipping, dropping to 1 hp, and/or turning all defending actions to 0%. 4) Attack and defeat that player to satisfy the requirement, which unlocks Very Hard Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Dirty Little Secret	Put a bounty on 1 Named Player, wait for it to be claimed, attack the person who claimed the bounty	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Put a bounty on 1 Named Player (a smaller bounty such as 100K lets you pocket most of the prize). 3) Wait for the bounty to be claimed; the claimer's ID will still show on the mission screen even if they are anonymous. 4) Attack the person who claimed the bounty - you only need to attack them, not defeat them, so a stalemate or even a loss still counts. Then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Double Jeopardy	Put a bounty on ANY Player, then defeat them.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Put a bounty on any player. 3) Since you cannot claim your own bounties, simply place the bounty and then defeat that player yourself (for example by leaving or mugging). 4) Click Complete once you have defeated them.
Drug Problem	Defeat 4-7 Named Players	1) Accept the Drug Problem contract on the Missions page. 2) Use Player Search to locate each Named Player target. 3) Attack and defeat the required 4 to 7 named targets, using any weapon. 4) Return and click Complete once all are defeated.
Emotional Debt	Hit 1 Named Player with tear gas or pepper spray	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and equip a Tear Gas or Pepper Spray, then use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Hit the target with the tear gas or pepper spray. Even if the temporary weapon misses or is ineffective, the hit still counts for this mission. 3) Be aware that a Hazmat Suit and Delta Gas Mask block tear gas, and that the Delta Gas Mask, EOD Helmet, Hazmat Suit, Marauder Face Mask, Motorcycle Helmet, Riot Helmet, Vanguard Respirator, and Welding Helmet block pepper spray completely. 4) Once you have hit the target, click Complete.
Estranged	Injure one of 1 Named Player's legs	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack the target and injure one of their legs; note that feet count as legs. 4) To make your hits land on the leg, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a high-accuracy low-damage weapon like a pillow (a smoke grenade also helps). If you are using a gun, remove the Laser mod: it lowers your critical hit rate, which increases the chance you land a hit on the legs or feet instead of critting elsewhere. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Family Ties	Hospitalize 1 Named Player 3 times	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Hospitalize that target 3 times; if the target can be revived, this goes much faster. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Field Trip	Win $100, $1k, $10k or 1M on 3 named Casino Games	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Play the 3 named Casino Games for your level (Easy: Craps / High Low / Roulette; Medium: Blackjack / Keno / Slots; Very Hard: High Low / Keno / Blackjack or Roulette; Expert: Blackjack / Craps / High Low). 3) On each named game, make a profit of $100, $1k, $10k or $1M - it must be a NET profit on the bet. For example, putting $100k on both Black and Red in Roulette shows as a "win" but nets $0 overall, so it does not count. You need an actual net profit per bet. 4) Click Complete once all 3 games are done.
Fireworks	Expend 250, 500, 750, 1250 rounds of ammunition	1) Accept the Fireworks contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip a gun with a high fire rate such as the Minigun, M249 SAW, or Rheinmetall MG 3; a weapon with a high fire rate is really helpful because you burn through the required rounds far faster. 3) Expend the required 250, 500, 750, or 1250 rounds of ammunition by chaining or participating in NPC attacks on Duke, Jimmy, or Leslie. 4) Once you have used the required rounds, click Complete.
Forgotten Bills	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack and defeat the target using any weapon you like. 3) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Frenzy	Defeat ANY 5, 7, 11, 11, or 15 players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Defeat the required number of players (5, 7, 11, 11, or 15). 3) You can use any weapon to defeat your targets, and you can claim bounties or mug people for this one. 4) Once you have defeated enough players, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Get Things Jumping	Cause 2k, 8k, 10k, 40k, 50k dmg, receive 1k, 4k, 5k, 20k, 25k	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Attack targets to cause the required damage tiers (2k, 8k, 10k, 40k, 50k) and to receive the required damage tiers (1k, 4k, 5k, 20k, 25k). 3) Note that counted damage is capped to the target's current HP, so hitting a low-HP target only counts their HP toward the total. 4) To rack up damage DONE quickly, hit NPCs. For damage RECEIVED, ask your friends or faction mates to attack you, or place a bounty on yourself to draw in defends, so you make progress on both at once. 5) Once the damage requirements are met, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Graffiti	Hit 1 Named Player with pepper spray	1) Accept the Graffiti contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip the Pepper Spray temporary item. 3) Find the Named Player target via Player Search and attack them, hitting them with the Pepper Spray. Pepper Spray cannot miss, and even if it is ineffective because of the target's armour the mission still completes. 4) Once you land the hit, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Guardian	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Guardian contract on the Missions page. 2) Use Player Search to locate the Named Player target. 3) Attack and defeat the named target, using any weapon. 4) Return and click Complete.
Hammer Time	Defeat 1 Named Player using only a hammer	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Defeat the target using only a hammer - note that Dual Hammers and Sledgehammer do not count. 3) You do not have to unequip your other gear, and non-damaging temporary weapons such as a stat booster, smoke grenade, or flash grenade are allowed. 4) If the target is stronger than you and you can't defeat them with the hammer alone, soften them first: hit them with another weapon (such as a bomb or your primary) to lower their life on the first turn, then wait until they are out of hospital and attack again with the hammer to finish the mission. 5) Once the target is defeated with the hammer, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hands Off	Defeat 3-5 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find each Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the required 3-5 named targets, using any weapon. 4) Once all named targets are defeated, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hare, Meet Tortoise	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their lightening fast speed	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) To counter their very fast speed, use a flash grenade or smoke grenade to reduce it (note a welding helmet blocks flash but nothing blocks smoke). Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Defeat the target, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hide and Seek	Defeat the correct 1 Named Player out of 4 players, clues given	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Read the clues given to identify the correct 1 Named Player out of the 4 players (example clues: the only player not travelling, the only player that is level X, or the only player not in a faction). 3) Defeat the correct named target using any weapon. 4) Click Complete once the correct target is defeated.
Hiding in Plain View	Travel to the listed foreign country and defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Hiding in Plain View contract on the Missions page. 2) Travel to the listed foreign country; note that medicine cannot be used overseas, so plan your gear carefully before you go. Heads up: since the Travel 2.0 update you may no longer be able to carry weapons on the flight, so check the current game rules and plan to source a weapon at your destination if needed. If the target has since flown back to Torn, the mission may still read "travel to [country] to defeat the target" - it is fine to defeat them in Torn in that case, and it still completes. 3) Locate and defeat the 1 Named Player target (others with the same mission may also be attacking the target). 4) Return and click Complete.
High Fliers	Defeat 3 Named Players in 3 listed foreign countries	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the three Named Player targets in the three listed foreign countries. 2) Fly to each of the three different countries and defeat one target in each - note that other people with the same mission can also attack the target. 3) Plan your gear carefully because Medicine cannot be used overseas, and give yourself plenty of time within the 72 hour window; if you are running out of time, use a business class ticket for the fastest flight. Heads up: since the Travel 2.0 update you may no longer be able to carry weapons on the flight, so check the current game rules and plan to source a weapon at your destination if needed. If a target has since flown back to Torn, it is fine to defeat them in Torn even though the mission still says to travel to that country - it will still count. 4) Once you have defeated all three targets in the three countries, click Complete.
Hobgoblin	Defeat ANY player of your choice 5 times Requirement to Unlock Hard Missions.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) For a fast route, pick a target that is easy and revivable. 3) Defeat that player 5 times. 4) Completing this unlocks Hard Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Immovable Object	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their impenetrable defense	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) To counter their very high defense, use Epinephrine to boost your strength, or have a friend start the attack and throw a stat-lowering temporary such as smoke, tear, or flash, and take any defending temp if one is present. Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Defeat the target, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Inside Job	Attack ANY Player and secrete the Item into or onto them	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page, where Duke sends you an Item. 2) Ensure you have at least one of the sent items in your inventory. 3) Attack any player and use the Secrete option that appears next to the Hospitalize button to secrete the item into or onto them. 4) If Duke also sent a temporary weapon, note it does not need to be equipped to succeed. 5) Click Complete once the item is secreted.

NEW PLAYER GUIDE TO COMPLETING DUKE'S MISSIONS (PART 2)

Part 2 of the guide, continuing the Duke Missions from Keeping Up Appearances through Wrath of Duke, followed by a few common questions.

DUKE MISSIONS (continued)

Mission	Objective	How to
Keeping Up Appearances	Successfully mug 1 Named Player then give everything you mugged back to them.	1) Accept the Keeping Up Appearances contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Successfully mug the target, then give everything you mugged back to them; money you sent before accepting the mission also counts. 3) If unsure whether they were already mugged, send them $1,000 first, then mug and return what you took; if you have sent more than you mugged, the mission completes instantly. 4) If the target has you on their ignore list you can still send money once the mission is active. 5) Click Complete.
Kiss of Death	Defeat 1 Named Player and use only the kiss option	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack the target and defeat them using only the kiss option, which shows up below the leave/mug/hosp options. 3) Once you have defeated the target with the kiss option, click Complete.
Lack of Awareness	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the named target using any weapon. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Lost and Found	Put 1 Named Player in hospital for 12 hours	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Put the target in hospital for 12 hours, which takes at least 3 attacks unless the player has max merits or faction perks. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Loud and Clear	Use 3, 5, 7 or 11 explosive grenades	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Use the required number of Explosive Grenades (3, 5, 7 or 11). 3) Note that using Explosive Grenades while defending also counts toward progress. A Flash Grenade also counts as an explosive grenade for this mission. 4) Click Complete once you have used the required number.
Loyal Customer	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Loyal Customer contract on the Missions page. 2) Use Player Search to locate the Named Player target. 3) Attack and defeat the named target, using any weapon. 4) Return and click Complete.
Make it Slow	Defeat 1 Named Player in no fewer than 9 turns in a single attack	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack the target and survive for at least 9 turns in a single attack using a very weak weapon such as a pillow, plastic sword or rusty sword to prolong the fight. Bring a Cattle Prod as a temporary weapon too, since you need to survive the opponent's hits as well and it helps keep you alive across all 9 turns. 3) After no fewer than 9 turns, defeat the target. 4) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Marriage Counselling	Defeat the SPOUSE of 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search, then locate their spouse. 3) Attack and defeat the spouse of the named target using any weapon. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

Meeting the Challenge	Mug ANY players for a listed total amount. Expert level tends to be 16m	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) This mission counts a total dollar amount you mug, not a number of players - keep mugging any players until the mugged cash adds up to the listed total (Expert tends to be about $16m). 3) Here is the catch: a single mug only takes a small slice of the cash the target is carrying on hand, roughly 5% for a player with no relevant merits. Fastest approach: ask a friend to pull a large amount of cash out of the bank and hold it on hand, then mug them. Because you only take about 5% per mug, have them hold roughly 20x the total you need (about $320m for a $16m target) so a single mug nets close to the full amount; if it falls short, have them top the cash back up from the bank and mug again. 4) Click Complete once the listed total is reached.
Motivator	Lose or stalemate to 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Motivator contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Attack the target and lose or stalemate to them. Do not just let the attack time out: a timeout loses the attack but does NOT count toward this mission, so you have to actually lose or stalemate the fight. 3) To make losing easier, if you have the ability you can use the wrong blood bag to drop your health low, or fill up empty blood bags to bring your health down. 4) Once you have lost or stalemated, click Complete.
New Kid on the Block	Defeat ANY 5 players	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page. 2) Attack and defeat any 5 players - you need to actually defeat each target. 3) Once you have defeated 5 players, click Complete.
No Man is an Island	Mug at least 2 of 3 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the 3 Named Player targets using Player Search. 3) Mug at least 2 of the 3 named targets; you do not need to successfully mug them, you just need to click the mug button. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
No Second Chances	Defeat 1 Named Player on FIRST attempt	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Defeat the target on your FIRST attempt; if needed, have a friend throw a stat-lowering temp to improve your odds. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Out of the Frying Pan	Use Felovax while in jail, Zylkene while in hospital	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page, where Duke sends you the Felovax and Zylkene. 2) Use Felovax while in jail. 3) Use Zylkene while in hospital. 4)To get jailed, attempt to bust someone out of Jail expecting to fail. Keep your Items open in one tab and the Jail in another, so the moment you land in jail you can use Felovax before someone else busts you out. 5) Click Complete once both items have been used in their required states.
Painleth Dentitht	Defeat 1 Named Player with a baseball bat	1) Accept the Painleth Dentitht contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Equip a baseball bat and use it to defeat the target; using any other weapon results in failure, and you cannot use damaging temporary weapons. 3) You may use debuffing utility temporary weapons such as Tear Gas or Needles. 4) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Party Tricks	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their nimble dexterity	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack and defeat the target despite their nimble dexterity - use a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon that lowers dexterity, such as Pepper Spray, so your hits land (Melatonin also helps counter their dexterity). Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 3) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Pass the Word	Send 1 Named Player a mail message with keyword included	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Send the target a mail message that includes the keyword and is at least 40 characters long. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Peak Experience	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their high level	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Defeat the target despite their high level; if needed, have a friend throw a stat-lowering temp to help. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

Rabbit Response	Defeat 3 Named Players within 30, 20, 15, and 10 minutes	1) Accept the Rabbit Response contract on the Missions page; you have 3 days to complete it. 2) Locate your 3 Named Player targets and only begin attacking when you can see all of them are out of hospital. 3) Defeat all 3 named targets within the required time window of 30, 20, 15, or 10 minutes, which starts after your first attack. 4) You can try multiple times. 5) Once all 3 are defeated in time, click Complete.

Send the items directly to the dump (trash them); do not place them in a parcel. 4) Once you have defeated the target and trashed both items, click Complete.
Red Faced	Defeat 1 Named Player using a Trout as finishing hit	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack the target and use a Trout as the finishing hit to defeat them. 4) Because this is difficult, consider teaming up with someone who can throw a smoke grenade or another temp and stay in the attack if your trout misses, so you can escape and jump back in for a second attempt. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Rising Costs	Hit 1 Named Player with a brick	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Hit the target with a brick; if the brick misses you will have to retry the mission, so consider having a friend throw Tear Gas or Pepper Spray to lower the target's dexterity and increase the chance of the brick hitting. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Rolling in It	Mug 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target via Player Search. 3) Successfully mug them. 4) If the target was recently mugged, one approach is to send $1,000 to the target first, then mug them. 5) Click Complete once the mug succeeds.
Safari	Travel to South Africa and defeat 1 Named Player with a rifle	Note: this mission is currently unavailable because of the Travel 2.0 update, which changed overseas travel. 1) Accept the Safari contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip a Rifle and buy abundant ammo; you do not have to unequip other weapon types but must use ONLY the rifle. 3) Travel to South Africa and defeat the 1 Named Player target with the rifle. 4) If the target may be difficult, consider Vicodin, accuracy and/or crit mods, special ammo, and a business class ticket to arrive before Vicodin runs out; non-damaging temps such as a stat booster, smoke, or flash are allowed. 5) Once defeated, click Complete.
Scammer	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack and defeat the target using any weapon you like. 3) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Sellout Slayer	Buy a gun from item market or bazaar, use gun on ANY 3 to 6 players, sell gun in item market or bazaar	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Buy a gun from the item market or bazaar; it does not matter if it is primary or secondary. 3) Use a gun of that type on the required 3 to 6 unique players (repeating the same target does not count toward progress) - it does not have to be the exact same weapon, just the same type, so you can buy a standard Taurus but complete the objective using a Taurus Execute or any other variant of that type. 4) Sell the gun in the item market or bazaar afterward. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Sending a Message	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Defeat the target using any weapon you like. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

Stomach Upset	Injure 1 Named Player's stomach	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Attack the target to injure their stomach. 4) To make your hits land on the stomach, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a low-damage weapon like a pillow. A pillow won't land every hit, but because it deals such low damage you get many more hits per attack, giving you far more chances to strike the stomach. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Swan Step Too Far	Search the dump for any previously owned item and defeat the previous owner	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Search the dump for any previously owned item. 3) Defeat the previous owner of that item. 4) You can keep searching until you find an item whose previous owner is someone you are able to defeat. 5) Click Complete once you defeat the previous owner.
The Executive Game	Defeat 1 Named Player using only fists or kick	1) Accept The Executive Game contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Attack and defeat the target using only fists or kick; non-damaging temporary weapons such as Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade, Tear Gas or a stat booster are still allowed. 3) Once defeated, click Complete.
The Tattoo Artist	Defeat 1 Named Player using only a slashing or piercing weapon	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack the target using only a Slashing or Piercing weapon and defeat them - your armor and other weapons can remain equipped, and non-damaging temporaries such as a stat booster, smoke or flash are allowed.

Three-Peat	Defeat ANY 3 players by leave 1, mug 1, hosp 1 Requirement to Unlock Medium Missions	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Defeat 3 players by finishing one with leave, one with mug, and one with hospitalize. 3) You can use any weapon to defeat your targets. 4) Completing this unlocks Medium Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

Unwanted Attention	Hospitalize 4 Named Players	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player targets. 2) Attack and hospitalize all 4 Named Players using any weapon you like - you must hospitalize each target, as choosing leave or mug will not complete this contract. 3) Once all 4 targets are hospitalized, click Complete.
Withdrawal	Injure both arms of 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack the target and injure both of their arms; note that hands count as arms. 4) To make your hits land on the arms, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a low-damage weapon like a pillow. A pillow won't land every hit, but because it deals such low damage you get many more hits per attack, giving you far more chances to strike the arms. If you are using a gun, remove the Laser mod: it lowers your critical hit rate, which increases the chance you land a hit on the arms instead of critting elsewhere. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Wrath of Duke	Defeat 3 to 4 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find each Named Player via Player Search. 3) Defeat the 3 to 4 Named targets using any weapon you like. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

COMMON QUESTIONS

I finished the tasks, but the mission still won't complete. Why?
Missions do not auto-complete - you have to click the Complete button on the Missions page to claim it. If that doesn't work: 1) make sure you actually accepted the mission first; 2) check you did the EXACT requirement (right target, right weapon, and the right finishing move such as Leave / Mug / Hospitalize / Kiss); 3) for send or mail missions, make sure it went to the correct person - use their player ID rather than a typed name (Duke is [4]), and remember some missions need the item sent directly, not inside a parcel.

The target is too hard, and I can't defeat them.
Missions are assigned to roughly match your strength-to-defense ratio, so an unbalanced target can be tough. Use utility temporary weapons (smoke, flash, tear gas) to lower their stats, or a stat drug (Vicodin gives +25% to all stats, LSD gives a big strength/defense boost). For open-target missions, attack someone weaker or inactive instead, and if you still can't win, ask a factionmate to soften the target first.

Can I cancel, decline, or skip a mission?
Before you accept, you can click Decline Contract on any contract you don't want - declining lowers your Agent standing less than failing does. Once you have accepted a contract, though, it can't be cancelled: you either complete it or let it expire, and letting it expire counts as a fail. New Player missions can't be declined or skipped; you must finish each one to unlock the next.
One more important thing is that if a mission has been declined or has expired/failed, you cannot retry that mission.

I redeemed special ammo or an item with mission credits but can't find it.
It doesn't appear on the Missions page. Special ammo goes to your Ammo Locker (Items page, click the bullet icon); other items go to your inventory. If it's still not showing, refresh the page.

Good luck, and welcome to Torn.

Some People	Send ANY item (found in the dump) as a parcel to 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Get a junk item to send: search the dump, or just grab a confirmed one - a bottle of beer or a box of tissues work. You can also buy the item and the empty box from the Item Market, not only the Post Office. 3) Box it: buy an empty box (Post Office or Item Market), open the empty box, add the item, then close it. 4) Send the parcel from your Items page: open Items, find the parcel, click Send, enter the named target as the recipient, and send it. 5) Once the parcel has been sent, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Standard Routine	Defeat 1 Named Player with a Clubbing weapon, fists or kick	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the target with a Clubbing weapon, fists, or kick.

Stomach Upset	Injure 1 Named Player's stomach	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Attack the target to injure their stomach. 4) To make your hits land on the stomach, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a low-damage weapon like a pillow. A pillow won't land every hit, but because it deals such low damage you get many more hits per attack, giving you far more chances to strike the stomach. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Swan Step Too Far	Search the dump for any previously owned item and defeat the previous owner	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Search the dump for any previously owned item. 3) Defeat the previous owner of that item. 4) You can keep searching until you find an item whose previous owner is someone you are able to defeat. 5) Click Complete once you defeat the previous owner.
The Executive Game	Defeat 1 Named Player using only fists or kick	1) Accept The Executive Game contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Attack and defeat the target using only fists or kick; non-damaging temporary weapons such as Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade, Tear Gas or a stat booster are still allowed. 3) Once defeated, click Complete.
The Tattoo Artist	Defeat 1 Named Player using only a slashing or piercing weapon	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack the target using only a Slashing or Piercing weapon and defeat them - your armor and other weapons can remain equipped, and non-damaging temporaries such as a stat booster, smoke or flash are allowed. A Macana is a good piercing weapon and a Kodachi is a good slashing weapon for this one. 3) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Three-Peat	Defeat ANY 3 players by leave 1, mug 1, hosp 1 Requirement to Unlock Medium Missions	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Defeat 3 players by finishing one with leave, one with mug, and one with hospitalize. 3) You can use any weapon to defeat your targets. 4) Completing this unlocks Medium Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Training Day	Spend 250e, 500e, 750e, 1000e, 1250e gym training	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Spend the required energy training at the gym across the tiers (250e, 500e, 750e, 1000e, 1250e). 3) Top up energy as needed using natural energy (max 100-150), LSD (50), Xanax (250), Points Refill (100-150), FHC (100-150), or Cans (5 to 30); results may increase with Company/Faction/Book perks, and the natural cap is 100 for non-donators and 150 for donators. 4) Once the energy spending target is met, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Tree Huggers	Defeat 6 to 8 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player targets via Player Search. 3) Defeat the required number of named targets (6 to 8) using any weapon. 4) Click Complete once all required targets are defeated.

Unwanted Attention	Hospitalize 4 Named Players	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player targets. 2) Attack and hospitalize all 4 Named Players using any weapon you like - you must hospitalize each target, as choosing leave or mug will not complete this contract. 3) Once all 4 targets are hospitalized, click Complete.
Withdrawal	Injure both arms of 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack the target and injure both of their arms; note that hands count as arms. 4) To make your hits land on the arms, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a low-damage weapon like a pillow. A pillow won't land every hit, but because it deals such low damage you get many more hits per attack, giving you far more chances to strike the arms. If you are using a gun, remove the Laser mod: it lowers your critical hit rate, which increases the chance you land a hit on the arms instead of critting elsewhere. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Wrath of Duke	Defeat 3 to 4 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find each Named Player via Player Search. 3) Defeat the 3 to 4 Named targets using any weapon you like. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.

NEW PLAYER GUIDE TO COMPLETING DUKE'S MISSIONS

New to Torn? This guide covers Duke's Missions (the daily contracts), what each one asks you to do and how to do it, plus a few common questions at the end.

A FEW TIPS THAT APPLY TO ALMOST EVERY MISSION

Attack someone you can actually beat. For any 'defeat/attack a player' mission, pick low-stat or inactive players so you don't lose the fight. When a mission does NOT name a specific target (for example 'defeat any 5 players'), you can choose anyone, so pick the easiest opponents you can find.
Use target lists to find easy opponents. Community target lists (such as Baldr's Extra Targets or level-targeting lists) are full of inactive, low-defence players. You can also save handy targets to your Friends or Enemy list so you can find them again quickly, which is useful for repeat-attack missions.
Know your 'utility' (non-damaging) temporary weapons. Items like the Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade, Tear Gas, Pepper Spray and stat boosters (Needles) don't deal damage - they lower the target's stats (or boost yours). Pepper Spray in particular lowers the target's dexterity, which makes your hits land - handy for missions that ask you to injure a specific body part. Many missions that limit which real weapon you can use still allow these.
Choose 'Leave' when you win. If a mission needs you to hit the same named player several times, finish with Leave (not Hospitalize) so they leave the hospital sooner, and you can attack again.
Too strong? Soften them first. If a 'defeat with a specific weapon' target is stronger than you, hit them once with a bomb or your primary to drop their life, wait until they're out of the hospital, then finish with the required weapon.
Can't win solo? Get a hand from your faction. If you still can't beat the target, ask a factionmate to soften them first: have them attack the target and, importantly, use utility temporary weapons (smoke grenade, flash grenade, tear gas, etc.) to lower the target's stats, then choose Leave. Wait until the target is out of the hospital, then attack them yourself to land the winning hit.
Sending an item or parcel? To send a parcel: get the item and an empty box from the Post Office or the Item Market, box it up, then send the parcel from your Items page (find the parcel, click Send, enter the recipient, send). To send an item directly: go to your Items page, find the item, click Send, choose the recipient, and send.
Read the mission name carefully. Some Duke missions share a name with a crime or feature but are completely different (see Graffiti and Critical Education below).

DUKE MISSIONS (daily contracts)

Mission	Objective	How to
A Good Day to Get Hard	Achieve a kill streak of 10	1) Accept the 'A Good Day to Get Hard' contract from the Missions page. 2) Build a kill streak of 10 by defeating players. You don't have to buy defends: the simplest way is to attack players you are confident you can beat, such as those with lower stats than you, or inactive players. 3) Be careful: if you lose a fight or get killed, your streak resets and you have to start over. 4) Once your kill streak reaches 10, return to the mission and click Complete. 5) Alternative: you can buy losses (paid defends) from other players to build the streak faster, but this costs money.
A Kimpossible Task	Defeat 1 Named Player using only melee and temporary weapons	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the target using only melee and temporary weapons; do not use your primary or secondary weapons. 4) Note that guns do not have to be unequipped. 5) Once the target is defeated, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
A Problem at the Tracks	Defeat 3 Named Players without using guns	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and find your 3 Named Player targets via Player Search. 2) You do NOT need to unequip your guns - just leave them equipped and don't use them (a gun dealing more than 0 damage fails the mission). One point that trips people up: the Flamethrower counts as a gun for this mission, but the Blowgun does NOT (it is a Piercing weapon, not a gun) and is fine to use. 3) A practical approach: hit the target with Pepper Spray (a non-damaging temporary weapon) first, then finish them off with a melee weapon. Don't soften the target with a gun beforehand. 4) Defeat all 3 Named Players this way, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
A Thor Loser	Use Duke's Hammer to hit (up to) 14 different body parts during attacks	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip Duke's Hammer as your weapon. 3) Pick a target with high defence but low dexterity: high defence means they survive many hits in a single attack, and low DEXTERITY (not low speed) is what keeps your own hits landing; a target's speed only affects how often they hit you back, not your accuracy. Community lists that estimate players' stats help you find one. 4) During attacks, land hits on up to 14 different body parts: Head, Throat, Chest, Heart, Stomach, Groin, Right and Left Arms, Right and Left Hands, Right and Left Legs, and Right and Left Feet. The body parts accumulate across attacks, so you do not need them all in one fight. 5) Best approach: do this during your NPC fights (the 2-3 chain fights per day against Duke, Jimmy or Leslie). You get a long run of hits (around 25) in a single fight and the NPC does not hit back, so you land far more body-part hits per fight and finish faster. Since Duke's Hammer is a melee weapon there are no reload turns wasted either. 6) To make more hits land on a player target, lower their dexterity with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray. 7) Once you have hit the required body parts, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Against the Odds	Defeat 2 Named Players	1) Go to the Missions page and accept the Against the Odds contract from Duke. 2) Use Player Search to locate each of the 2 Named Player targets. 3) Attack and defeat both named targets, using any weapon you like. 4) Return to the mission and click Complete once both are defeated.
An Honorary Degree	Defeat 1 Named Player without using any guns	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Guns can stay equipped - just don't use one (a gun dealing more than 0 damage fails the mission; note the Flamethrower also counts as a gun). 3) Defeat the target with melee weapons, fists, kick, or non-damaging temporary weapons. Blowgun, Crossbow and Harpoon are allowed because they are piercing weapons, not guns. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Army of One	Attack 1 Named Player 3 times as normal, with mask, and then with a different mask	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Duke sends you 2 random masks to wear. 3) Find the Named Player target using Player Search and attack them 3 times as normal: one attack wearing one mask, and another attack wearing a different mask. 4) One attack must have NO mask on at all. A common slip-up is having a mask still equipped from your saved loadout (separate from the 2 masks Duke sent) and not noticing, so double-check your gear is mask-free for the unmasked attack. 5) You do not need to defeat the target for the mission to succeed; when finished, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Bakeout Breakout	Buy a Fruitcake, use Cake Frosting & Lock Picking Kit from inventory sent by Duke, then send Special Fruitcake to any player in Jail. Player now has a random chance to instantly escape from jail.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Buy a Fruitcake, then use the Cake Frosting and Lock Picking Kit that Duke sent to your inventory to create a Special Fruitcake. 3) Send the Special Fruitcake to any player currently in Jail (note it is non-tradeable and non-sellable); a handy method is to keep the Jail open in one tab and your Items in another, and pick someone with a high number of hours left who is unlikely to be busted or bailed soon. The item can only be sent to someone who is actually in Jail, so if your target gets busted out just as you send it, the send simply fails and you pick another target. 4) The recipient then has a random chance to instantly escape jail. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Bare Knuckle	Defeat 1 Named Player with NO weapons or armour equipped	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Unequip all armour and weapons so you are fighting only with fists or kicks. 3) Note that debuffing utility (non-damaging) temporary weapons such as Flash Grenade or Tear Gas are allowed. 4) Find the Named Player target via Player Search and defeat them using only fists or kicks. Important: the usual 'soften them first with a bomb or your primary' tip does NOT work for this mission. It fails the instant you make an attack with a gun or with any armour equipped, not just on the finishing hit. The good news is you can retry as many times as you like, as long as every attack is fully unarmed and unarmoured; one armed or armoured attack fails it. 5) Be aware that residual temps carried over from a previous fight may also fail this mission. 6) Click Complete once the named target is defeated.
Batshit Crazy	Inflict a set amount of damage with Duke's bat (Penelope), scaling with the mission's difficulty tier from about half your max life on the easiest tier up to six times your max life on the hardest	1) Accept the Batshit Crazy contract on the Missions page; Duke sends you the bat Penelope. 2) Equip Penelope. It helps to set your defence to melee and buy defends, and chaining works well while you do this. 3) Deal the required damage to the target using Penelope. The amount needed scales with the mission's difficulty tier (from about half your max life on the easiest tier up to six times your max life on the hardest). 4) This one is counter-intuitive: you want HIGH-HP targets. A target who just left the hospital has very little life left and gives you almost no progress, so avoid them and pick someone at or near full life. Doing this during NPC fights (Duke, Jimmy or Leslie) is an efficient way to rack up the damage. 5) Note: you do NOT need to win the fight; you only need to deal the required amount of damage. 6) Once you have dealt the required damage, click Complete.
Battering Ram	Attack 1 Named Player 3 times	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack that target 3 times - you do not need to defeat them, you only need to attack. 3) When you win an attack, the target gets sent to the hospital, so choose 'Leave' as the outcome (not Hospitalize). That keeps their hospital time short so they recover faster and you can attack them again sooner. 4) Once you have attacked the target 3 times, click Complete. (The 'choose Leave' tip applies to any mission where you must attack the same named player several times.)
Big Tub of Muscle	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their gargantuan strength	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Their strength is enormous, so use utility (non-damaging) temporary weapons - a Smoke Grenade, Flash Grenade or Tear Gas - to lower their stats enough that your hits land. A Serotonin booster, or stacking boosters on easy targets beforehand, can also help (though that can get expensive). Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Attack and defeat the target. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Birthday Surprise	Obtain afro comb/edvd/laptop, place in empty box, giftwrap, send to Duke. Item may vary.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page and note which item is requested (it may vary between afro comb, EDVD, or laptop). 2) Obtain the requested item, plus an empty box and gift wrap. Any wrapping paper works; it does not have to be the birthday wrapping paper. You can buy these from the Post Office (if you still have daily item purchases remaining) or from the Item Market. 3) Place the item in the empty box and gift wrap it to make a Present. 4) Send it to Duke as a Present; Send it from your Items page: find the present, click Send, enter Duke as the recipient, and send it. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete. The cash prize is usually the average market price of the item.
Bonnie & Clyde	Defeat 1 Named Player and their SPOUSE (2 total)	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target via Player Search. 3) Defeat the named target and also defeat their spouse, for 2 defeats in total. 4) You may use any weapon to defeat the targets. 5) Click Complete once both have been defeated.
Bountiful	Claim 2, 3, or 5 bounties	1) Accept the Bountiful contract on the Missions page. 2) Open the Newspaper page and go to the Bounties tab. 3) To claim a bounty, defeat the target and hospitalize them. 4) Repeat until you have claimed the required 2, 3, or 5 bounties. 5) Return and click Complete.
Bounty on the Mutiny	Bounty Named Player and wait for bounty to be fulfilled	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Place a bounty on that Named Player - note you cannot claim your own bounty. 3) Wait for the bounty to be fulfilled; you can ask a factionmate to fulfil it for you. The cash prize is still calculated based on the old bounty system. 4) Once the bounty has been fulfilled, click Complete.
Bring It!	Defeat Duke within 7 days of activating this mission.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page; you must accept it before the group attack against Duke begins (the group attack as a whole, not your own attack). 2) Jump in on Duke when he gets looted 5-6 times a day. 3) Defeat Duke within 7 days of activating this mission; you do not have to land the finishing hit. 4) Completing this unlocks Expert Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Candy from Babies	Collect $150k or $250k in bounties	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Go to Newspaper > Bounties tab to find targets. 3) Claim bounties by defeating each target and hospitalizing them, collecting either $150k or $250k in total bounties as required. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Charity Work	Mug 2 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Open each of the 2 named targets, either by clicking the target's link in the mission text or by looking them up with Player Search. 3) Attack and successfully mug each of them. 4) If a target was recently mugged you may get little or nothing; a common workaround is to send them $1,000 first, then mug it back. 5) Once both mugs succeed, click Complete.
Cracking Up	Defeat & Interrogate Named Player to find the code for Duke's Safe	1) Accept the Cracking Up contract on the Missions page and find the Named Player via Player Search. 2) Defeat the named target, then click the Interrogate button to interrogate them and find the code for Duke's Safe. 3) Interrogate the defeated target and choose to reveal the code. It can take several attempts before the target gives you the option to reveal it (community-reported at around 40% per attempt), so keep trying. 4) Once you have the code, complete the mission straight away: the code expires at the end of the Torn day and will not work the next day. If it expires, you have to defeat and interrogate the target again to get a fresh code. 5) Use the Duke's Safe from your inventory and enter the combination to open it (contents vary). 6) Send that item to Duke to complete the mission. You do not need to wrap it, send it directly from your Items page (item inventory) to the recipient, Duke [4]. 7) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Critical Education	Achieve 8 critical hits	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page. 2) Attack players and land 8 critical hits. 3) To land crits more easily, use a crit-boosting weapon mod such as a Laser Sight (weapon mods can be bought from the mission shop with mission credits and then attached to a suitable weapon). The weapon bonus you want is Expose, which raises your critical hit rate; the Deadly bonus does NOT help here, as it only boosts damage. Check your faction armoury too, since the faction may have an Expose weapon you can borrow. 4) Doing this during NPC attacks gives you more chances to land crits per 25 energy. 5) Once you have achieved 8 critical hits, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Cut Them Down to Size	Defeat ANY Player your level or higher Requirement to Unlock Very Hard Missions	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find any player who is your level or higher. 3) A friend can help by unequipping, dropping to 1 hp, and/or turning all defending actions to 0%. 4) Attack and defeat that player to satisfy the requirement, which unlocks Very Hard Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Dirty Little Secret	Put a bounty on 1 Named Player, wait for it to be claimed, attack the person who claimed the bounty	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Put a bounty on 1 Named Player (a smaller bounty such as 100K lets you pocket most of the prize). 3) Wait for the bounty to be claimed; the claimer's ID will still show on the mission screen even if they are anonymous. 4) Attack the person who claimed the bounty - you only need to attack them, not defeat them, so a stalemate or even a loss still counts. Then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Double Jeopardy	Put a bounty on ANY Player, then defeat them.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Put a bounty on any player. 3) Since you cannot claim your own bounties, simply place the bounty and then defeat that player yourself (for example by leaving or mugging). 4) Click Complete once you have defeated them.
Drug Problem	Defeat 4-7 Named Players	1) Accept the Drug Problem contract on the Missions page. 2) Use Player Search to locate each Named Player target. 3) Attack and defeat the required 4 to 7 named targets, using any weapon. 4) Return and click Complete once all are defeated.
Emotional Debt	Hit 1 Named Player with tear gas or pepper spray	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and equip a Tear Gas or Pepper Spray, then use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Hit the target with the tear gas or pepper spray. Even if the temporary weapon misses or is ineffective, the hit still counts for this mission. 3) Be aware that a Hazmat Suit and Delta Gas Mask block tear gas, and that the Delta Gas Mask, EOD Helmet, Hazmat Suit, Marauder Face Mask, Motorcycle Helmet, Riot Helmet, Vanguard Respirator, and Welding Helmet block pepper spray completely. 4) Once you have hit the target, click Complete.
Estranged	Injure one of 1 Named Player's legs	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack the target and injure one of their legs; note that feet count as legs. 4) To make your hits land on the leg, lower the target's dexterity first with a utility (non-damaging) temporary weapon such as Pepper Spray, and/or use a high-accuracy low-damage weapon like a pillow (a smoke grenade also helps). If you are using a gun, remove the Laser mod: it lowers your critical hit rate, which increases the chance you land a hit on the legs or feet instead of critting elsewhere. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Family Ties	Hospitalize 1 Named Player 3 times	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) Hospitalize that target 3 times; if the target can be revived, this goes much faster. 4) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Field Trip	Win $100, $1k, $10k or 1M on 3 named Casino Games	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Play the 3 named Casino Games for your level (Easy: Craps / High Low / Roulette; Medium: Blackjack / Keno / Slots; Very Hard: High Low / Keno / Blackjack or Roulette; Expert: Blackjack / Craps / High Low). 3) On each named game, make a profit of $100, $1k, $10k or $1M - it must be a NET profit on the bet. For example, putting $100k on both Black and Red in Roulette shows as a "win" but nets $0 overall, so it does not count. You need an actual net profit per bet. 4) Click Complete once all 3 games are done.
Fireworks	Expend 250, 500, 750, 1250 rounds of ammunition	1) Accept the Fireworks contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip a gun with a high fire rate such as the Minigun, M249 SAW, or Rheinmetall MG 3; a weapon with a high fire rate is really helpful because you burn through the required rounds far faster. 3) Expend the required 250, 500, 750, or 1250 rounds of ammunition by chaining or participating in NPC attacks on Duke, Jimmy, or Leslie. 4) Once you have used the required rounds, click Complete.
Forgotten Bills	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Attack and defeat the target using any weapon you like. 3) Once the target is defeated, click Complete.
Frenzy	Defeat ANY 5, 7, 11, 11, or 15 players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Defeat the required number of players (5, 7, 11, 11, or 15). 3) You can use any weapon to defeat your targets, and you can claim bounties or mug people for this one. 4) Once you have defeated enough players, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Get Things Jumping	Cause 2k, 8k, 10k, 40k, 50k dmg, receive 1k, 4k, 5k, 20k, 25k	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Attack targets to cause the required damage tiers (2k, 8k, 10k, 40k, 50k) and to receive the required damage tiers (1k, 4k, 5k, 20k, 25k). 3) Note that counted damage is capped to the target's current HP, so hitting a low-HP target only counts their HP toward the total. 4) To rack up damage DONE quickly, hit NPCs. For damage RECEIVED, ask your friends or faction mates to attack you, or place a bounty on yourself to draw in defends, so you make progress on both at once. 5) Once the damage requirements are met, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Graffiti	Hit 1 Named Player with pepper spray	1) Accept the Graffiti contract on the Missions page. 2) Equip the Pepper Spray temporary item. 3) Find the Named Player target via Player Search and attack them, hitting them with the Pepper Spray. Pepper Spray cannot miss, and even if it is ineffective because of the target's armour the mission still completes. 4) Once you land the hit, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Guardian	Defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Guardian contract on the Missions page. 2) Use Player Search to locate the Named Player target. 3) Attack and defeat the named target, using any weapon. 4) Return and click Complete.
Hammer Time	Defeat 1 Named Player using only a hammer	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the Named Player target. 2) Defeat the target using only a hammer - note that Dual Hammers and Sledgehammer do not count. 3) You do not have to unequip your other gear, and non-damaging temporary weapons such as a stat booster, smoke grenade, or flash grenade are allowed. 4) If the target is stronger than you and you can't defeat them with the hammer alone, soften them first: hit them with another weapon (such as a bomb or your primary) to lower their life on the first turn, then wait until they are out of hospital and attack again with the hammer to finish the mission. 5) Once the target is defeated with the hammer, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hands Off	Defeat 3-5 Named Players	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find each Named Player target using Player Search. 3) Attack and defeat the required 3-5 named targets, using any weapon. 4) Once all named targets are defeated, return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hare, Meet Tortoise	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their lightening fast speed	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) To counter their very fast speed, use a flash grenade or smoke grenade to reduce it (note a welding helmet blocks flash but nothing blocks smoke). Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Defeat the target, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Hide and Seek	Defeat the correct 1 Named Player out of 4 players, clues given	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Read the clues given to identify the correct 1 Named Player out of the 4 players (example clues: the only player not travelling, the only player that is level X, or the only player not in a faction). 3) Defeat the correct named target using any weapon. 4) Click Complete once the correct target is defeated.
Hiding in Plain View	Travel to the listed foreign country and defeat 1 Named Player	1) Accept the Hiding in Plain View contract on the Missions page. 2) Travel to the listed foreign country; note that medicine cannot be used overseas, so plan your gear carefully before you go. Heads up: since the Travel 2.0 update you may no longer be able to carry weapons on the flight, so check the current game rules and plan to source a weapon at your destination if needed. If the target has since flown back to Torn, the mission may still read "travel to [country] to defeat the target" - it is fine to defeat them in Torn in that case, and it still completes. 3) Locate and defeat the 1 Named Player target (others with the same mission may also be attacking the target). 4) Return and click Complete.
High Fliers	Defeat 3 Named Players in 3 listed foreign countries	1) Accept the contract from the Missions page and use Player Search to find the three Named Player targets in the three listed foreign countries. 2) Fly to each of the three different countries and defeat one target in each - note that other people with the same mission can also attack the target. 3) Plan your gear carefully because Medicine cannot be used overseas, and give yourself plenty of time within the 72 hour window; if you are running out of time, use a business class ticket for the fastest flight. Heads up: since the Travel 2.0 update you may no longer be able to carry weapons on the flight, so check the current game rules and plan to source a weapon at your destination if needed. If a target has since flown back to Torn, it is fine to defeat them in Torn even though the mission still says to travel to that country - it will still count. 4) Once you have defeated all three targets in the three countries, click Complete.
Hobgoblin	Defeat ANY player of your choice 5 times Requirement to Unlock Hard Missions.	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) For a fast route, pick a target that is easy and revivable. 3) Defeat that player 5 times. 4) Completing this unlocks Hard Missions. 5) Return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Immovable Object	Defeat 1 Named Player despite their impenetrable defense	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page. 2) Find the Named Player via Player Search. 3) To counter their very high defense, use Epinephrine to boost your strength, or have a friend start the attack and throw a stat-lowering temporary such as smoke, tear, or flash, and take any defending temp if one is present. Attack when you are off Xanax cooldown so your passive stats are higher, and consider a Vicodin to boost your stats before you try. 4) Defeat the target, then return to the Missions page and click Complete.
Inside Job	Attack ANY Player and secrete the Item into or onto them	1) Accept the contract on the Missions page, where Duke sends you an Item. 2) Ensure you have at least one of the sent items in your inventory. 3) Attack any player and use the Secrete option that appears next to the Hospitalize button to secrete the item into or onto them. 4) If Duke also sent a temporary weapon, note it does not need to be equipped to succeed. 5) Click Complete once the item is secreted.

CONTINUED IN PART 2 - the remaining Duke missions (Keeping Up Appearances to Wrath of Duke) and the Common Questions are in Part 2 of this guide.

All of the things that George mentions in the chat, he gets from the Weapon Bonus wiki page. All 15 weapon bonuses are valid. I couldn't see anything that doesn't exist. Could you explain more about your concern with this response?

According to the wiki article: https://wiki.torn.com/wiki/Weapon_Bonus
It said that Sleep is the unreleased bonus that will cause the enemy to miss turns until they receive damage. George gets this information from this page.

In the Marriage#FAQ, it says that if you want to cancel your proposal after proposing to someone, you can do so by canceling it at your preference (Settings). I believe this part is not correct, as you have to go to the church -> View Proposals and then select the action to cancel it.

George tried to think of anything connected to ‘almalite,’ but came up blank at first. He figured you might be comparing two items. After a bit of digging, the closest match he found was ‘aluminum plate.'

It looks like Spray Paint: Orange exists as two separate pages due to URL encoding:

https://wiki.torn.com/wiki/Spray_Paint_%3A_Orange
https://wiki.torn.com/wiki/Spray_Paint%3A_Orange

These appear to be duplicate pages for the same item

The forum Why You Should Not Run A Company covers everything players need to know before starting a company, which is helpful. He actually considers whether someone is new or not.

Thanks. I'll look into it. For this one, NPC can accept cash, so he should have said Yes, you can.
