What do you get when you complete bonus objectives (with the blue plus on it)?
Sometimes you'll find a mission like "Assassinate the Assassins", where optional missions are presented.
In the mission aforementioned, it will ask you to murder certain assassins via a certain damage type, like pistols, shotguns, or melee.
Do these optional requirements add anything to the mission reward? Or are they there for nothing?
