Elusive Target #28: THE UNDYING RETURNS (Year 6: February 5-25 2026)

Where is he? Is it part of the Galore or is it separate, because the only ET showing active for me right now is the Splitter?

In Miami.
(This isn’t a joke, go in the Miami destination tab.)

You can also find him in the Career - Elusive Target - Year 6 tab.


He is not part of the Galore, he is a new Year 6 target.
He is in the LIVE tab for me (also xbox if you’re still there).
I have completed the Splitter, so he might just be under it for you.
The splitter is still active to the 23rd.

Nope. Its the first. All four of the activations across 2024 and 2025 loaded scenario_sambuca2.brick. This in the first time scenario_sambuca.brick has been loaded in WoA within the ET format.

Checked the year 6 tab, still only shows Splitter for me.

Wonder if they forgot to activate it on a platform. I can see it on both PlayStation and Steam.

I played “The Undying.”
I still feel that for its first appearance that year, it’s better without the eye patch.
If it reappears again this year, I think it would be more effective for the presentation if it appeared wearing the eye patch as “The Undying Returns.”
Some might wonder, “Why change it when the content is the same?” But I believe these subtle changes add depth to the game’s world.

Did his eye grow back or something? :face_with_spiral_eyes: I’m so confused

They activate The Undying semiannually, so maybe the eyepatch will come later this year.

The Revolutionary is very jealous.

I wanted to do something like duck kill + flamingo nest exit but the mission crashed twice when I tried to restart it, so fuck that, poison in the loo for Mr Faba.

I do wonder why there’s so much randomness in which versions are released. There’s almost no pattern. Well, we know the ‘Undying Returns’ version kept on getting reran but then suddenly we’ve switched back to the original ‘Undying’ for the first time in a good few years, right?

Could just be as simple as someone incorrectly pulled the original variant as a template to work off for the contract json rather than the “correct” one. :person_shrugging:

I poisoned him, hoping he can return in pristine condition.

I think the Nintendo Switch 2 release might explain it. I imagine the release brings in a whole new batch of players expecting a fresh game experience.

Another SA fail. That’s three in a row. Guess I’m not that good at this game after all.

Was trying to salvage my messed-up garrote run from last time, but when I realized I was playing the original unpatched Undying, well, it had to be the canonical pen to the eye. Tried to do it SA/SO minimum KOs as always, but couldn’t walk the walk, as they say.

It seems like that “wow” at 3:38 in the practice run was crucial for a clean kill. Without it, the scientist returns from the side room too soon and ruins my run. Didn’t test the timings properly because of the rolling blackouts where I live, so messed up the real thing. Really hope the OG Undying wasn’t a one-time deal.

In fairness, the pen to the eye is not necessarily canonical, just damage to the eye. A strangulation causes blood vessels to burst in the eyeball; it’s entirely possible that failing (ugh, I hate that they made that word be included in any description of 47’s work) to fatally garrote Faba still caused enough damage that he lost one of his eyes. Alternatively, almost any other method used, from shooting him in the face to even poisoning him, could result in damage to his eye that leads to his look in the Returns sequel. So, sorry to say, you could potentially have had a successfully completed run by sticking to your original plan.
