Oh, nice. Glad to see many people taking advantage of his unique escape method.

I didn’t realise the target changed costume nor did I realise he will escape either after stealing the painting or if you take the painting first.
I’m glad everyone her has videos ect so I can see how those things would have worked. So thank everyone!
My run was pretty simple. I seikered his guard and then him as the walked to the house. Target ended up walking by some bushes and no one was around (I hoped) and the adrenaline junky in my said “GO FOR IT!” so I knifed him and put him in the bushes. Then I went and got the painting. It could have easily gone south if anything was around.

After seeing your cool video, and Haynes stealing the painting, I think I get why mine was bugged.
Haynes probably has to go through his entire routine of sneaking up to the top floor and seeing Alexa alive, before he can activate his “Steal the painting” action.
Since he mentions “we’ll deal with the old hag later”, that line naturally has to come after his line about seeing Alexa alive. So, I probably broke his scripted chain of events by KOing her early, thus him being unable to start his top-floor office route.

Failing that SoB though is no shame, since you literally fail for knocking out the courier for no reason other than the Game being a bitch about it. The Contract is to get the Diamonds and kill the Fixer, not stalk his courier.

I haven’t even touched this ET yet but yous are making me look forward to it. From what your saying I reckon I’ll find a block of time to play this one and just slowly follow Haynes trying to listen in on the story and explore his route

This is one of my favourite elusive targets and it’s due to a combination of 2 simple things because the overall killing of the target is fun but pretty run of the mill.
I love the secondary objective and the limited starting locations.
This is one I’d have a lot of fun replaying if we got the opportunity. I am sure we never will but I can dream.

Like others have said, this target was fun. Used the emetic tranq on him and his guard which made it seem almost like cheating it was so easy 
But then I got too cocky and walked directly in front of an enforcer so no SASO for this one…
If anyone needs advice for The Collector, it is easiest to kill him when he’s near the greenhouse

I’m not giving up on the idea that ETs will be patched into the game permanently once live support for H3 ends yet. I’ll be gutted if it doesn’t happen because it would seem like such a waste if all that great content was lost to time, but I still hope and pray that IOI will want to preserve the WoA properly at the end of its lifecycle.

It’s my hope too but it’s one of those situations where I won’t give it more thought than just a wishful hope until it’s officially here.

Honestly I just keep bringing it up at every opportunity so that the IOI ladies and gents who browse the forum [HI THERE, GUYS AND GALS!] have some visibility that this is something that the community would love to see them do. If you don’t ask, you’re less likely to get, and all that…

this one was pretty good but quite easy, although the map itself isnt particularly difficult so that’s a big part of it.
i got him by taking his photo as promised but the actual photo was shit (you couldnt even see him getting zapped!) so no keepsakes this time. i might replay it on a different account to get a good photo and just pretend it was my first attempt
every time i play an ET it reminds me how much i wish they were replayable. what is it now, almost 35 unique missions only playable for 2 weeks maximum out of the year? the live support is lacking this year so something drastic like that would be much appreciated wink wink nudge nudge

I think it would be perfect if IOI were releasing 2 permanent ETs a month (instead of all at once), it would keep the content flowing and satisfy everyone who’d like to replay them in the future.

So many blind spots outside, the issue is timing. I agree though.

Overall a great elusive target deserved the respect of a traditional assassination.

Do you NEED to steal the painting to get SA?
People saying without painting you’ll get 4 stars with SA raiting.
And there is a challenge for retrieving the painting

No. But if you chose not to get it you’ll get SA with 4 Stars instead of 5.

Alright makes sense. That’s a good compromise for encouraging objectives while still keeping it optional.
