Quoting myself to update you that we’re planning to address this. It’ll be very similar to what we’ve done in the past where ET’s were missing their challenges. Updates to come.

That’s rough. I learned the hard way that that balcony guard eventually gets found.

I thought the gun lure only worked if you were in civilian clothing? I haven’t messed around with it very much.

Suit Only/Silent Assassin/No Loadout/No KO/No Emetics/No Distractions etc etc. A long method, but really easy to do.

I always hide bodies, but yeah, this guard is bitch. He also ruined my SA once. Stupid Alexa needs to go talk to hear death brother, like it matters.

I tossed an emetic explosive at the target and his bodyguard, seeing who would investigate it first. It was the target, so I blew it up in his face and he went off to go puke in the water. Bodyguard stood behind him. Smashed the bodyguard’s head with a bit of driftwood, then pushed the target into the water.

Finally decided to put him out of his misery. I like all of H3 ET’s, I really do, but would it kill them to release one more this month? Even from Season 1.

Looks like the three missing challenges for the ET have been restored, so those that haven’t played it yet will be able to complete them as per normal.

Thanks, I’ve been waiting to hear this. Tomorrow was my cutoff as I assumed that if it wasn’t restored by then, it wouldn’t happen over the weekend.

Do you know if it retroactively unlocked for those who completed the challenges?

Let’s wait for Travis. I hope we can have the challenges unlocked if we have already done them. Or, at worst, at least redo the mission.

Bad news, I’m afraid - previously eliminating Collector did NOT register completing then missing challenges.

As usual. Once the target is over, they will make a retroactive fix for all other players. This has happened at least twice in the past during H1/H2.

There was such situation in Hitman 2 with The Prince ET. The challenge related to the Sapienza-ET suit challenge was initially missing. The players who had already completed the ET had to wait the end of the ET window to see their challenge completed and being awarded with the suit.

Emetic Tranq the Target and the Guard. Distracted additional with coins and took four minutes to get the painting and get out.

Of course I was caught by an enforcer while exiting. Well, at least the target got whacked properly.
