Yeah. There are some with an entourage of guards… Then there’s ‘The Twin’. That seems to be one guard per brother. Because you can make either one sick and their (respective) bodyguard WILL wait outside.
I don’t think it’s so much a matter of which targets will likely be emetic’d or not as it is scripting the extra guards to follow the logic of giving them the privacy of puking alone. Heck, they will even clip into each other while they watch.
Hmm… Maybe the snail could be used in such an instance.
“Hide all bodies” won’t need to apply if they’re woke up.
Regardless how many are using the Elusive Target Arcade, it doesn’t change the fact that when the servers inevitably shutdown that ETA will be gone forever. For this reason, Permament ETs would be best released in the format of the special missions from HITMAN 2 to allow offline play.
I mean, the reason most people shun the special assignments isn’t because they are small like ET’s, but because they mostly lack substance or any actual variety. Illusions of grandeur and A Bitter Pill are too easy (with illusions of grandeur havigg by effectively only one approach), while Embrace the Serpent is WAY to limited (way to many guards packed into such a small area).
A Silver tongue has a nice little bit of variety though. Besides I don’t think it’s really a good enough of an excuse to lock ET content away from players for literally zero reason.
Goddammit, IOI, the Chameleon is the literal fucking worst; please never release him again and delete him from the game’s files while you’re at it! (Fixed it for you)
Just emetic him into a bathroom, wait by an exit, detonate a rubber duck, and be out before they find the body? Anyone? Just me?
Just emetic her into a bathroom, bash her brains in with a briefcase, take the guest list, and put her in a box? Anyone? Just me? (Also, she’s super obvious, and starts near Kong if you make the party your first stop).
No, the Chameleon is fine, but I need to be able to use a disguise to get to the guy in order to take him out without having an anxiety attack, and I need to be able to change back into my starting outfit, neither of its two ETS runs allows me to do that.
Agree to disagree there. I will, however, defer to your special… program. The Pursuit of Perfection? Heisenberg’s… Prescription of Awesome…? Uh. You know what I mean.
If one were to do this suit only… (As I tell myself this also)
The hardest part is getting into the house. Please pardon the backseat gaming. Click the spoiler for how you might be able to do it. Or don’t if you’d rather figure it out on your own.
Start by the bridge, and have either a crowbar or lockpick. Then go inside via the window. You may even prefer bringing in a tranq gun (but I don’t know if the HPPs allow for moving tranq’ed bodies - it shouldn’t. Because you should only need to move 1, the other you can leave).
The only “KO’d” NPCs should be the 2 hackers. You can get them downstairs by…
Then it’s a matter of watching out for the guard that should now be going up and down.
The hardest part will be waiting for the right moment to move from one spot to the next.
I suppose if you can’t move tranq’ed bodies then bring the seiker. Or maybe the sedative syringe for at least one person and save a dart for anyone else.
Getting into the house, for me, is the easy part; I can sneak my way there suit only no problem. The hard part will be A) putting an emetic poison into the drink the one hacker drinks from to make him and the guard leave and the target to go out on the balcony, and B) getting out of the house without the second hacker seeing me.
I agree with above sentiments that The Chameleon is fine, especially in the Arcade since you don’t have to kill him in a non-explosive accident. It’s (finally) a chance to take the target out in other ways that the OG ET format forbids due to the immediate failure condition.
She’s not that obvious, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent 20 minutes looking for her the first time I played this ET. It’s easy to miss her dialogue (the only thing you can use to identify her) among all of the other people speaking in that area. Also there’s another woman at the bar looking exactly like her.
Yes, basically. The restriction about “non-explosive accident” is still displayed on his briefing, but you are free to kill him in any way on Arcade. I headshotted him just few days ago.
Curiosly, he’s probably one of the few targets on Arcade where the various restriction doesn’t affect his kill conditions.
Or don’t if you’d rather figure it out on your own.
