Elusive Target #40: THE HOST (ft. jacksepticeye) (29 October - 26 November 2026)

Holy brainrot, feels like the entire point of the mission was to force feed all these bad memes.

Honestly not a very good mission either as it’s incredibly easy. Didn’t play the special assignment yet but it doesn’t seem like there’s that much to do.

You have to introduce yourself to Jack, then have him at the table when two other people are playing and then that let’s you challenge him to a game

i find it funny how this is the third time 47’s been to the house and people are still buying it

and colton somehow doesn’t mention a major terrorist and former new zealand minster of trade died at the house

Hey, BTW this ET confirmed the Paris Chandelier kill was Canon. So How to make that kill Silent Assassin guys?

I played it again in VR, so I could dress like a bunny and see what opportunity I might have..

As I tried to escape, I cracked up when my ankle monitor went off!

All of the elements together were ridiculous fun running from the compound.

This basically decanonizes the “Ken Morgan died four months ago” plot hole from Mendoza, the only plot hole this leaves is that Alexa Carlisle is said to have faked her dead in 2021 and not 2020

I’ve played every challenge in the Special Assignment.

Honestly, this Elusive Target isn’t bad. I would say it is one of my lesser favourites in recent years, but I’m glad IOI didn’t partner with a controversial figure again. (High bar I know)

The kill opportunities are fairly good for such a small and restrictive map, however that dialogue is something else. I may be young, but I have never heard anyone I know speak like that.

Do people really say that stuff?

The “Sussy Baka” line reminded me of that meme with Hank from Breaking Bad like 4 years ago. Is the rest of the dialogue that out of touch?

The premise is ok, I’m not hot on podcasting as is, but it being the centre of a mission is neat - I just wish the “being filmed” complication was a bit more interesting, instead of it just being like every other recording - get caught, delete, green guns.

The DLC packs look awful to me. I won’t imagine I’ll ever buy them.

I don’t seem to be in the target audience for most of these CelebETs and this one is no different.

As for what classes as a Celebrity - just about anything these days so seeing Jack in the game doesn’t surprise me. Plus he’s done voice acting amongst other things that weren’t half bad!

Edit: oh and the lore confirmations and etcs.

I do not like this. @Heisenberg I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this

Makes Carl Ingram mentioning it in Dubai even funnier to me tbh

I honestly didn’t care for the Snoop Dogg one too much, because of the scope of it..

I’d almost say too many opportunities and such..

This one being simple actually was refreshing..

I’ve already played it three times and I look forward to playing it a few more times

Until that kill can be made Silent Assassin to fit in with literally the rest of the entire series and 47 not killing innocent civilians en masse, I will treat any mission that “confirms” it as a canon event as an exaggerated hallucination (in the case of Untouchable), or the mission mentioning it is itself non-canon, such as the Host, here.

did she really fake her death if shes really dead though hmm

that still doesnt explain why her tomb mysteriously turned into dirt in the harbringer

also I havent picked the real estate option yet is there anything said about the canonity of kills during that

they really got messed up trying to place the game 3 years in the future in 2016

Real estate mentions Nolans death being via the lazers in WC

I enjoy this ET. Small and somewhat unsettling.
I also really appreciate the reminder of Hitman 2: Basement Killing.

I liked the amount of kills in these two missions!

I saw a decent amount in both that weren’t linked to a mission story or challenge.

Speaking of challenges - WHY DID THEY NOT HAVE ANY UNLOCKS?? Was The Herbalists a one-off for that?

The map is small but still : (

Wait how did Colton even get invited to the Paris casino

He seems like a kick streamer that causes mass disruption everywhere
