Elusive Target #38: THE HARBINGER - Patient Zero REQUIEM, ft Milla Jovovich (25 February - 24 March 2026)

Yeah, as a fellow veteran I do understand your point too. I just hope that the ET itself remains approachable from all ways where you can still complete the mission without being stuck inside the mission story (similarly to JCVD where you had to kill the clones) but if this has a patient zero element to it, it is plausible that we could be additionally tasked with eliminating any bio weapon/viruses/infected patients that the ET has been doing in Dartmoor!

As it is a sandbox game, I think maintaining the all approaches aspect of the game and freedom of playability for all play styles and experiences is the best way forward!

For sure I’m hoping there’s a lot of variety. Just praying there’s some good kill opportunities and I’m very intrigued to see what’s underneath the manor

Is there a non-spoiler advice that you can give for the mission story ?

If you don’t want to fail - avoid it at all costs in the Elusive Target format. Its not a ā€œmission complete handed to you on silver platterā€ like past CelebrETs.

My advice is Arcade only the Mission Story. Eliminate Lilith before the story gets too far.

So she does cause a mess if you give her the time.

She definitely looks different than Milla Jovovich in that trailer.

I don’t understand this. If an instakill is a risk in the ET, would it not also be in Arcade? Won’t that still end the mission before you complete the mission story?

It would be but the 30 minute slap on the wrist for losing a arcade mission is way nicer the the permanent stain of losing a normal et

But shouldn’t the advice simply be to not follow the mission story at all? If it gets you killed in Arcade, you still can’t finish the mission, irrespective of whether you can try again later. Trying that same method again would be meaningless, so why try it in the first place? Why not simply recommend avoiding the mission story method?

I’ll get to play it in maybe one hour or so.

The things Thrison said are making me really nervous.

Intriguing, the Arcade mode has an unlockable starting location:

For those curious about the timeline, you can have a face-to-face encounter with Alexa!

Shot the target from a bit away, hid in a closet for a bit, and then left


Gonna assume it’s for when she already started her plan. Heh, Dartmoor always getting the starting locations that fastforward events.

An actual new time of day for an ET, not just a skybox rework like The Sensation but also changing the lighting and giving guards flashlights? A significantly reworked Dartmoor map? A bunch of other interesting stuff? Yeah it should’ve definitely been a permanent Special Assignment.

I already thought some of the other Celeb ETs were kinda wasted by being part of the Elusive Target formula, but this one especially feels wasted. Because why engage with all the mission has to offer when the player is incentivized to take the easiest way out possible? The remote emetic gas device gets her taken out in just a few minutes.

Such a shame, I was exited for this ET but I think I’ll wait until they fix it. Releasing a DLC in this state is unacceptable.

Such a smart, cunning woman, and yet she still fell coin trail trick.
