- Start date
I stashed the Lancer in the safehouse and spawned in the same location. Sat on the roof, waited a few minutes for the brothers to watch the performer, scoped in to check the watch and BOOM HEADSHOT.
One and done in 3 minutes.
These last two Elusive Targets have been disappointingly easy

This elusive kinda sucks because there's not much to do with it.

New elusive target! When did it start? I won't be able to play until tomorrow night.
You've got 56 hours left as of now

Plenty of time, thanks.

Amusing.
Wish I had taken the time to plan this one but as others have said it was the least interesting ET contract thus far.
After watching that video, another way to go about it would be to
start off at the safe house, pick up the bartoli handgun, grab the wrench from the Girasole shop below. Head down the passageway east of the mortuary, cause an oil leak by using the wrench on the motorcycle furthest down, drop your silencer and bartoli and while the guards are away securing the handguns then pick off the twin with the wristwatch, accidental kill. SO/SA.
I got impatient
Irritatingly I got a non-target killed on my way out. WTF happened? I have no idea how, didn't leave any bodies next to explosives or water or anything. Won't say it ruined my rating since I basically went loud but still, it's pretty irritating.
No, I didn't take the car route.
Dropped a rifle in the safehouse, ran upstairs, knocked out the lazy asshole, set up in his apartment, waited for them to get coffee, shot dylan and ran

Eh, they're all easy if you don't mind being sloppy.
You'd really need to SA them if you want bragging rights.

Pretty much.
Going for SA would be challenging and fun, but I won't bother to try that hard with the perma fail and all.
I went with the car-exit and got 1 non-target kill during the exit cutscene.
When I realised
they stopped at the wine tasting place I disguised myself as the waiter and had some rat poison on hand. I decided to take a chance and put the poison in as soon as the first one took a drink, just to see. 47 jumps in front of the twins and 2 guards to put the poison in the wine and nobody gets suspicious at all before the target takes a sip XD The target goes to puke his guts out. I take him out inside just as soon as the guard opens the door. Had to take him out too and escape through the houses, leading up to the safe house and exiting outside.
If you can distract the guard from coming in as the target is puking his guts out, then you can get silent assassin for sure.

I decided to
dress as a waiter and poison the wine in the store by the church. Worked fine, however I killed the guy then the moment I started to drag the body the guard walked in the room. So I ran upstairs hid in a box for a few minutes, worked the rooftops, changed into a different costume and finished the level.
I got three stars, but whatever. My first ET.

I don't know if that was intentional or not but even when
not disguised as a waiter you'll go undetected when poisoning the wine glass. Everytime.

I guess the suspension of disbelief here is that people always look for loose change that hit the floor even if they don't need the money. I would rather see something more plausible.
In that mission? Pretty sure I've poisoned the shisha pipe in Marrakesh and people saw it as suspicious.

Yeah. Don't know why they let that slide tbh.

Got this ET pretty easily,
just hid in the top room of the building that the safehouse is in with a sniper rifle, waited until they sat down at the patio across the plaza, shot the right brother, changed clothes real quick, then hauled ass to the car down the street.

Saving and loading takes ages to finish now. Anyone else having the same issue?

Man, it took an eternity to set up a scooter explosion right next to the target after isolating him, where I could not be seen shooting the leaked oil.
And then the explosion didn't even touch him because he was three instead of two feet away, or something like that.
Edit: Finally, he got close enough to the scooter to let this work. The guards saw me anyway and I subjected myself to the thrill of escaping while hunted.
It was worth it, unlike my last SA failure in Sapienza.
Tried this. Definitely didn't work.

Didn't work for me either.
Thought this ET was neat, though I just used a sniper. Missed one ET earlier so now I have the Absolution suit, finally wearing some gloves now.

I'm seeing a bit of this as well.
I've must've done this over a dozen times before settling on sniping the target from the rooftops. I really need to configure shadow play one of these days.

I like that 47 was not suspicious at all to the twins and their bodyguards the entire time I followed them. I wore the Absolution suit and just got compliments lol.
There's a weird pause when you load a save game now. It takes a long time. I'm also getting the texture bug.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
That's what I tried too but I broke the scripting and the asshole just walked out without drinking. At frist I just wanted to poison both but the first guy apparently drank all the rat poison.

Question about opportunities. I see three that are greyed out and marked as lost opportunity. Is that just for that play through or my entire game?
Also if I complete an opportunity can I still do that scenario to kill the target on another play through?

1) just that playthrough
2) you sure can. Lots of the game's value is derived from replaying levels and doing things differently.

and that reminds me that I won't be able to play it.
I looked into it, and I am not even able to buy the upgrade pack because I already own ep 2/3. I'm playing on PS so I can't deal with steam support like PC players. hmph. Anyone try calling Sony support and get a refund for the episodes?
I really can't believe that new players could just buy the upgrade pack on tuesday and get access but episodic players have no option.

Thanks. Loving the variety of this. I actually bought the older Hitman games a while back on PS3 when they were on sale and though I loved the gameplay the controls were really dated so I kinda gave up on them.

Wish they'd just admit their mistake and let us all have the episode Tuesday but oh well, I'm gonna watch streams and footage. Spoilers don't bother me.
Pretty sure it's a bug (probably a variation of the subdue-counts-as-kill bug), because I got the same thing and all I did was subdue Rocco and kill the target.
Wouldn't surprise me if the game also somehow counted the target as being the wrong twin and penalizing us for it instead of failing the mission.
I kinda expect anything at this point.
IO/SE have their hands over their ears going "la la la" regarding the bonus episode controversy. They aren't going to acknowledge it or fix anything.
At this point, seeing as I won't be getting any new Hitman episodes until probably late August at the earliest I'm really tempted just to wait and get the whole package for $20 in a year's time rather than pay $40 for the rest episodically. I don't know if I care enough about elusives. I'm too salty to love this game right now. Hopefully that'll change by Thailand.

Welp, my Silent Assassin Elusive streak is over. Not even sure what I did wrong either.

Apparently Gary Busey will be the next elusive target, avail July 21st in Sapienza. Interestingly the ET will be up for 7 DAYS

I wonder if they'll release a new package for episodic buyers to buy the rest of the whole experience for the summer episodes.
otherwise I really don't see how it even makes sense for them.
I still think the bonus episodes should have been free for people who bought the missions with a new night version, but I do understand that they want to sell it extra if the game is not selling as well as they hoped. but then they should really give the episodic buyers a way to actually buy it when it releases. the way it is now it only pleases people who already bought it, pisses of the episodic buyers and gives them no new source if income, it just doesn't make sense.

Very lucky on the timing for this one. I'll be away for a whole 3-4 days of the elusive window but I'll catch it on the tail end.

Probably gonna "Pale Duck" Busey.
