This Elusive Arcade Mode is bringing way too much complications than pleasure of playing in my opinion.
All most of the players wanted is simply the ability to replay all the elusive targets with scoring, nothing more, nothing less.
Adding more complications and restrictions is just dividing the playerbase and removing the freedom of approach to special missions that are already hard enough without all this stuff, if not a spit to the face on the fans of this game mode who expected this since a long time ago 
Let’s hope that in a close future it will be tweaked to make all those useless complications optional, so anybody who wants this can enable them without forcing the others to do so, especially when the original missions didn’t had them
