I finally did it SO, but knocked out the 2 hackers, as well as the guard that wonders around up there. I pushed the target over the balcony, but that put 2 of the regular targets under lockdown… So I had to hide for a minute. All the time I was worried that guards would stumble across the 2 hackers KO’ed behind that yellow machine. Got out with SA. But the 2 guards spotted me as I was walking away on the bridge. It’s sorta like dropping a gun before exiting the main entrance of Paris. :joy:

I thought about suit only. I considered no pacifications. I contemplated no loadout.

Two out of three ain’t bad. :wink:

I swear, this is the last time I’ll abuse MC in its current status. This ET is kinda meh, but hey, if it works…

One SA to go please. I just love using the vomitive gun over and over. The chameleon was new to me so i made one walkthrough roaming around to find where he was. The second time i went for the kill and the toilet. Simple, effective, clean. He’s a very stationary target for sure, a bit of a let down but hey, from time to time it’s good to get SA.

Can someone confirm with Peacock or something if poisoning his drink counts as an accident for the purpose of the kill condition? I remember someone mentoning that it does, but I want full certainty before I go with that.

Also unrelated, but TIL that the target cannot actually spot you trespassing in the suit.

It’s the only way I’ve ever killed that guy so I know that it works.

Injected poison also works too. Basically any non-explosive method where the body can be found and SA isn’t lost is fine for the ET.

The Wickerman easter egg also works too if you want to go on a KO-fest first.

I like The Chameleon as an ET. Is that unpopular to say? Despite having a specific kill method, a secondary objective, and taking place on Colorado, I’d say he’s on the better end of the Hitman 2016 ETs.

I have no idea why the image resolution is so low.

Started in the default location, took a disguise from the guy near the shredder on the outskirts and hid his body there and changed it again into the current one (it’s near the safehouse in a open container).
After that I went to the safe house, sedated the stationary hacker in the corridor near the bathroom door, took the data while no one was looking (which it doesn’t take about 20-30 seconds anymore) and gun lured the target into a pre-made trap I made for him with an oil baller and a micro taser (I originally wanted to use the battering ram but I forgot to set it up so I used plan B).

This took me only one attempt! And this is the 4th time he had an ‘accident’… BUT since the gun trick exists instead of having only a couple of ways of “accidenting” him since he stays only in one room, you can give him a tour of the compound and see which ‘mishap’ will happen to him whenever you’re playing the ET (which makes it so much more fun than it originally was).

Killed him via Wickerman burning. Had to spend about 40 minutes KOing other people in and around the house so they wouldn’t be burned and SA could be retained.

First try, used my usual method following the HPP, deposited the son of a bitch right in front of the stairs leading up to the front door of the farm house, air mail. Bugged out with no one the wiser, didn’t even have to disrupt the security system. Perfection.

And this is when I discovered the hard way that darts are no longer interchangeable. My plan called for sending both hackers to puke, hacked the PC, and then wait until the guy who went to the bathroom was done, and then shoot a third dart at the Target only to discover the patch. I ended up having to know a bunch of people out and then Sean Rose returned so I had to wait even longer. Eventually I saw an opening to shove him off the balcony in the front of the house without getting spotted but he indicated he was about to turn so I had to wait a bit longer, missed another opening for the same reason and another because of the body guard but eventually I got my opening and shoved him off the balcony.

That was way faster than me, took me 1 hour and 12 minutes and 42 npc pacified. :joy:

Suit Only
Default Start
No Loadout
No KO
No SA
No Brain
No Skill
No Win

Yeah, this is my second failed ET. Already killed him decently last year and my overall record wasn’t clean anyways (thanks Moxon), so not a big deal, I guess. If I’m not mistaken, it was Sean’s crew who showed up on the floor and messed me up. And of course, when shit hits the fan I start acting stupid. Almost made it to the end, but forgot the face scanner isn’t an actual escape trigger yet so died like an idiot. Should have just run to the bridge exit.

Figured how to apply my previous strat on SASO, in the Arcade

Huzzah. No Loadout SA SONKO. Enjoy.

And for shits and giggles, here’s a fun minor glitch I encountered. No idea if this is already known, or can be replicated elsewhere. Check 1:47 (!) in the video to see more. It’s silly.
