Informants are the people who give you missions in Contract Killer. They appear only in said game. On the map, informants appear as a green bubble (blue for Dmitry Pushkin and red for Story informants) with an icon of a speech bubble with an "i" inside. Each informant has a cooldown time (except for story informants), meaning that they will have to "take a break" before calling them again. When they assign you a new contract, a soft "beng" sound is heard. If one tries to get a contract from them while they are "taking a break", a line of dialogue will be displayed, saying that the informant needs a break. However, you may pay them credits in order to cancel the remaining time left in the cooldown, which gives you another contract straight away.
