Elusive Target #6: THE BLACK HAT (4 - 13 June 2021)

I was expecting jam jokes but I’m pleasantly surprised to see this.

This was activated early into H2’s life cycle wasn’t it? Should be an interesting change to be able to play with some of the new unlocks we’ve gotten over the last two years or so on this one.

I think the only “challenge” to this are the guards on the approach to the door because there are no boxes or lockers

Well, I made the politician one 2 weeks before release:

“Legacy ET effect”

I was thinking of trying the weapon chase/lure exploit to get him far away… I recall setting a weapon down for him to leave the room, but it seems he telepathically communicates with one of the other guards off in another room to come get it. So that might not work this time (now that we know about it).

Another ET, another time where I ask how you’ll be taking down this ET?

And yet another time to share some cool art of this ET.

as i spoiled in my speedpaint video i’m going to take the black hat out in 4 ways.

  1. black hat en seine
  2. black hat bloodmoney loadout
  3. black hat bomb launch
  4. black hat en phone

ive got no reason to be this ambitious for an old paris et but im feeling motivated as all hell to do all these and stuff em in one video.

I’ll continue the large melee tradition.
H1 - Fire Axe
H2 - Nne Obara’s Machete
H3 - Pride gear loudout, swashbuckler to finish him off.
I think I’ll gun lure him down to the boat exit so that he’ll hopefully fall in, and maybe the recording will actually work this time! :smile:

I don’t feel like doing that ET again. No real idea and I already had to do 2 cinematic videos to compensate the lack of the usual elaborated ideas.

Only question is if I still do it for the counter in case we ever get something or wait for a reactivation in case I do have an idea. :thinking:

Played this ET for the first time. Not knowing where the target was. Not really a hard ET, but it did take me almost 10 minutes to find him. Knocked out a few guards, broke his neck and got out. SA done!

Suits not being awarded the first few hours happened a couple of times in H2. They usually go back and get everyone their suits once the ET is over.

I hope you are right, meanwhile can we just be happy for people who unlocked the Blood Money suit with this ET?

I’ve missed this one in the past so looking forward to adding it to my kill list :joy:

Thanks for the heads-up. I wasn’t able to port over my H2 progress so need to earn all the H1-H2 ET location suits again, including the Paris tuxedo with gloves. If the challenge/reward for Complete An ET In Paris isn’t available yet, I’ll wait before I play.

Heads-up to @Travis_IOI and @Clemens_IOI that the Paris-specific ET challenge (complete any ET in Paris, and earn the Tuxedo With Gloves suit) isn’t currently live like we’d all expect it to be, according to @Justinian_Luchian.

This has happened before with the first Sapienza ET in Hitman 2, The Prince. The suit was rewarded retroactively to those who completed it. By that time the suit will also be added to the challenge.
