Elusive Target #35: THE INFILTRATOR feat Bruce Lee as your partner (25 September - 20 November 2025)

Hey Everyone,

just to answer a few concerns,
Yes we have gotten the approval from the Bruce Lee Estate to incorporate Bruce Lee into the mission.
And we worked with an official and approved Voice Over artist.

Hope you all enjoy the mission when it goes live!

Okay so just noting some interesting things, not really spoilers:

  • They’ve given some Asian guards Asian civ voices (they finally saw my wisdom) but no new guard lines recorded for them (They do not ask you to surrender, although at least the prompt is up for the normal time and isn’t skipped)
  • They changed the NPCs in the rooms around Rieper’s Suite, not 100% sure why at this stage but I’ll take it
  • They removed everyone from Cross wing except cleaning staff (some may have been added, similar to the Source) and the three guards in security room. The even deleted everyone from fumigation area and manager’s office (zero idea why, but no more Mrs Mookjai at least)
  • They fucked up trespassing in the Cross wing and other guards will tell you off for being there

It looks neat, so I guess that’s something to say for it.

I like how they managed Bruce Lee’s presence in the ET. Respectful and tasteful, plus intrigued what will have to be done to help him out in the mission and who is the actual ET.

I thought Bruce Lee was just a codename but it looks like that’s really it…

That’s nice of you to pay this kind of tribute to him :+1:

I’m surprised you got given the rights to use Bruce Lee in HITMAN. That’s a nice opportunity, even if it doesn’t fit the WoA in my opinion…

Also i thought that he was our target but he’s not even the target but a partner?! Kinda misleading :thinking:

So this looks like a kind of a bodyguard mission overall. This is strange choices for this new CelebrET, maybe this makes it a very unique mission anyway?

I see that you also plan to put this content for a limited time only? Not sure that’s a good idea, especially after all the backslash about The Disruptor issue :grimacing:

At least we won’t risk a trial for rape or any other misconduct with him :sweat_smile:

Looking forward to try this new content anyway, even if i expected something…different.

Wow Bruce Lee is a legend. One of my favourite.

He would have been proud if he was alive.

Okay so I’ve replayed the mission in the elusive target aracde a couple times through now and every single time (without fail) I will be met with static fighters. They never want to do anything. Is this a me thing?

I had the same thing where it was just frozen on the mat with no fight beginning, so I restarted to get rid of them a different way. Annoying that the first half hour exploring the mission was for nothing…

It’s a known issue.
It’s already in the patch notes
Even before the launch.

KNOWN ISSUES

Below is a list of known issues that have been identified by the team who are working on fixes.

  • In ā€œThe Infiltratorā€ and ā€œThe Dragonā€, when Bruce Lee is fighting, it’s possible for the fighters to get stuck under specific circumstances, blocking progression of the mission.

Cool, good to know that are aware of it, I really want to try the combat but alas no luck so far. Fun mission though. Thanks.

Some behind the scene from the live stream.

Some of the mocaps were made by Sofia Stunts, for what I understand.

I don“t suppose the addition of kali sticks means that 47 will suddenly have dual melee weapon ability?

Is there a way to actually speed up the tournament? I was able to defeat the rivals easily, but then it’s just waiting around for another 25 minutes for the tournament to be over and the target to die.

Other than that I like the ET. I especially like that the three side targets popping up don’t cause you to lose the ability to restart the mission, they learned from The Splitter.

I also feel it was pretty respectful of Bruce Lee. I like how they used him in the mission and made him a hero like he was in his films. At least they used an actual voice actor and not regurgitated AI.

There is a table in which you can cut and serve it to one of the target. Its right by the entrance to that tournament area.

You go up and kill him.

Slightly related note:

The Freelancer exit was in this ET which is something i didnt expect.

Does this mean it will come to the main missions finally as it should? Or maybe it already is since today, havent checked normal bangkok

First impression.
Looks really fun. And with a lot of potential.

Currently riddled with bugs. I will wait a fix before doing the ET proper.
The mission is dragged down hard by the ET format and its consequences. It makes it a confused and confusing mess.

Some of the level and mission design seem a bit sloppy. Amateurish. Unintuitive.
Jank in a way Hitman usually managed to rise above.
I never entered in a dialogue with the design. It was always stuttering, or unable to communicate what it wanted properly.

It just doesn’t flow right.
Like water it is not.
