Elusive Target #37: EMINƎM vs. SLIM SHADY (Year 6: 27 July - 23 August 2026)

It’s in the Themed Suits section. Simply scroll over to the suit and press X to select.

Too late now, but I’ll try it the next time I play it in Arcade. So weird that the actual ET didn’t default to it like the Splitter did with its setup.

SA/SO NKO/NE (No Emetics), used the restaurant’s bathroom downstairs to move around the map, get the gas canister (where the sleeping guard is) and set-up/escape

I actually completed it on my first attempt, meaning I definitely missed quite a lot of interactions (too bad I can only replay it as a ETA and not as a special assignment).

But from what I’ve seen it looks really fun, I especially liked having a house as a hub to teleport and the fact that it has a similar feel to the Seven Deadly Sins missions.

I don’t know what you’re saying with this one. The Splitter starts you in a disguise, which is what I said.

Slim Shady doesn’t sing on the big screen, he completely skips that part and just moves on with his route when I play on PC.

At first I thought that it’s because of Peacock server but it’s the same thing on ioi servers.

It works perfectly fine on Xbox.

And I enabled copyrighted music in the settings.

Sorry if this was discussed here already but I just realized it because I don’t normally play on PC.

wtf does this statistic even mean? 31% of all WoA players have completed the mission - or of those that played it, only 31% passed? :thinking:

I think it means the method of pushing Shady into the mirror, thereby “helping” Eminem be the one to “silence” him. So 31% who played the mission to completion took that path, myself included. I think.

I incernerated him. I tranquilized his guards going up the walkway into the hospital and the lady at the end of the hallway, put Slim Shady into a chokehold and dragged him to the basement and burned him alive. SA/SO

I like the target a lot. On top of the cool variations to the map, Slim had a good route and fun dialogue. Probably a better alternate Hokkaido than we’ve seen previously, you can tell a lot of effort went into making it feel and play different.

Only just got around to playing this today. Fun experience overall. However, I want to highlight that this ET will currently seem impossible to access to most newer players.

Firstly, nothing on the front page directs you to the ET…

None of the front page rotating tiles are helpful, either…

Duh, just switch over to the “LIVE” tab, you might think. Nope, not there…

The Elusive Target tile on the left has been replaced with ‘The Sensation - Year 5’. Surely there’s another tile that’ll appear somewhere on the LIVE page?! Nah, it’s all just just ET Arcade stuff…

Since I’ve got a few thousand hours in the WOA trilogy and know the UI inside-out, it’s no problem for me to scroll right over to the “Career” tab, navigate into the Elusive Target section, and click the one remaining tile that’ll let me play the mission…

How incredibly convoluted.

So, ‘The Reflection’ ET - still advertised front & centre all over WOA store pages - is pretty much impossible to access unless you know how to navigate to it via the Career tab.

I suspect many new players (those opening the game since ‘The Reflection’ ET tile got replaced by ‘The Sensation - Year 5’) have just been playing the ET Arcade version, none the wiser about the existence of the actual ET mission.

Side note - let’s see what happens when you click “Get Access” on The Dragon ET Arcade…

Huh, ok, let’s click this link to get access to the mission that is being directly advertised to me by this video game company inside their own game…

Oh no! (Obviously I know this is because the limited time to buy this pack has now elapsed. But this would be deeply confusing to a newer player. And it’s just such sloppy design).

Just all round horrible UI choices.

If you complete (or fail) that one, The Reflection should show up. But yeah, new players wouldn’t know that if they’re only looking to play the one ET.

You should also be able to go to Destinations, select Hokkaido, and find The Reflection in there. Although, again, not very discoverable for new players.

Not for new players, but liteeally for all with this extremely inconvenient layout.
I personally missed two ETs because just forgot about them without them being shown on a home screen.
After that I just check Career → Elusive Targets tab every now and then + monitor forum and roadmaps bit closely

Just tagging @IOI_Artjoms so he sees it :pink_heart:

Most (if not all) new players will be playing on the Free Starter Pack, and they only get the Arcade contract - not the actual ET. Which, as you’ve shown, is viewable on the LIVE tab (unless the Arcade contract is already marked as completed).

Shame they don’t publish more stats like they did before.
There were a lot more points and numbers.
For me personally looks like just boring basically useless images, not even an info
