If we get a disguise from Absolution, I have a better idea:

Has anyone extracted their H3 profile from personal.hitman.io that did the progression carryover to see if data migrated containing which Elusive Targets youāve already played? Iām wondering if the ET will even be playable for those that completed it in H2.
In any case, Iām expecting to not be able to play it - and if its playable, then thatās just a neat surprise.

Yeah. They could make more action style challenges or escalations so we could use them, but they donāt soā¦ useless usually.
I still hope for a long range shotgun with half the spread than the others. I think thatād be something new and would stand out.
Also yes, less Snipers please 
Also, PLEASE IO give us Nitroglycerine/Octane Booster as an unlock!

Pretty good stuff. As someone who owns Deluxe, the 2 new Escalations looks fun. Kindof makes sense to me that theyāre trying to get this content out soon, I doubt you wanna keep the Deluxe people waiting long and it means you can get more content for all regular people. I imagine the last Escalation will be in March, and March will have a little more content for everyone else.
Anyway, stuff looks alright, will be nice for the Hitman 3 maps to slowly build up some Escalations. Sure the Contracts will be good, still not my kindof thing though. Really should get around to trying to make 1 or 2 though, if purely just to try and get 1 featured.
As for the Classic ETā¦ sigh I know I winge about this alot, but at this point, just add the damn thing in permanently. It just feels like a joke at this point, especially for me and other EGS players who havnāt imported their progress so will get to play this again. Iām just fed up of the ET formula frankly. Will be interesting to see if anything does change when the first Hitman 3 ET turns up, if there are any.

Seeā¦SEEE Iām not talking crazy we just got a lot of āNewā Snipers at launch.
Also I hope FC donāt get entirely outsourced now, it kinda looks like that this month. But yeah the players first need to make a bunch of contracts before we get started with that.

Itād be also what I like to see from Abso. The Target-Locked disguise is just silly. 
Very much looking forward to these Deluxe Escalations! The first batch were good fun (even if the third tier of the Chongqing one made me lose some of my hair).
Homeless 47 that should be the final deluxe escalation.
I can see it now, one of the objectives will be to find a can in a trash can.

Love the Ninja suit though wish could have additional black varient as an unlock so fit more with other maps. Be a way to make Colorado map have a more Splinter Cell vibe.

BTW, what is the āThe Initiation Protocolā ?
Is this something I missed?
Anybody has any info on the groups the featured contracts were outsourced to? Are they regular Hitman players? Whatās the story there? Are they active on this forum?
I think itās simply a flashy name for the roadmap itself.

Oh, from the Polygon website, it sounded like āThe Initiation Protocolā was a thing in itself, associated with a February 23rd, 2021, patch update:
IO is also planning to release a game update that day, but the studio didnāt explain what would be in it. According to IOās blog post, the patch will include bug fixes and a few tweaks to the game, and it will prepare players for something called āThe Initiation Protocol.ā While this isnāt much to go on, IO said that it would provide more information on the patch closer to its actual release date.

Two questions regarding ETs. First, I didnāt got the Sapienza suit on H2, will I get it when I beat the deceivers? Second, I got a 14/15 progress on the challenge that requires you to complete 15 ETs on H2, will that progress carry over to Hitman 3 so that when I kill the deceivers I unlock the challenge and the suit attached to it?
They could easily just put the elusive targets into the special assignments section and call it a day, but I get why they donāt. It lets them put something else on the roadmaps, while they work on Hitman 3 targets. Why deny yourself that as a company? I get it.

Well, I mean I wouldnāt really mind if they added an ET permanently every few weeks. They donāt have to add them all into Hitman 3 at once. (Considering they never reran alot of Hitman 1 ETs in Hitman 2, I do wonder if they have to do some work behind the scenes to get them into Hitman 3. Rather like how all the Escalations from Hitman 1 didnāt make it into Hitman 2, and they only started porting them in later.)
I just find the 10 day runs of the ETs silly at this point, especially when you consider that alot of ETs will be turning 5 years old this year. I kindof hope in a year or so time when Hitman 3 stops receving updates and IOI basically moves on from the game, that is when they add in ETs permanently and be done with it.
