How do you unlock the Elusive bonus?
You have to beat 5 elusive targets for the Absolution suit and 10 for Blood Money suit.

This is how I did it.I got swerved by that. He made a detour from there, and I thought like one of the earlier Paris ETs, it meant his paths were random.
Sufficed to say this is why I have 10/11 ETs successfully finished now.
You'll glimpse him walk into a side alley while I'm waiting, but eventually he does emerge and walk up the steps.

Christ. I've only done one.
I have yet to do a single elusive.
Did you dip on the game at launch Meaty or did you just recently get on board? Last I saw you were frustrated with the online/offline stuff.

Same. I missed the first half :/
It was when he walked into that alley I got swerved. I knew he would be going to that location (the worn-down building), but as many players would know if they played a lot of the game, sometimes the AI doesn't follow their pathways with detours.
Suffice to say, this time the game was correct.

Just recently. I had Paris but I relented BIG style a couple of weeks ago and bought the Upgrade Pack. One of my favourite series and all that.
Still think they were shitty with communicating the unlockable situation. I see so many Challenges and mechanics that would be completely inaccessible offline. "Full" game indeed.

When the last elusive target (#10) came out, it was mentioned on the official livestream that you could still get the Blood Money Suit if you started then. And it was confirmed at another time that buyers of the disc release will be able to unlock suits.
Of course we don't have exact numbers.
And on a third occasion (I don't remember when anymore), the developers said that they are working on making more elusive target unlocks that will be "iconic." Certainly sounds better than the original idea of having Absolution Suit with/without gloves and Blood Money Suit with/without gloves as separate unlocks.
Yeah, usual suit +red tie unlocks gets old quickly. I wish they did some silly unlocks for a change.

October 31, so Monday.
I got that for finishing The Fixer. I think my game is borked because I always seem to be a little bit ahead in elusive target unlocks.

Has IO stated what counts as progress to the unlockable suits with ETs?
Is it mission completion, or completing the target challenge and killing the actual guy? I'd like to know, to know if I have 11 on my way to the Hitman 2016 suit, or...
10
They will tell you that it's mission completion, but in my experience it's just completing the target challenge. I think there's some confusion and/or technical inconsistencies.
I got the Blood Money Suit after completing #1-10, even though I failed to escape after killing Gary Busey.

Fucked it up
Gotta stop using syringes, no idea why you get away with it sometimes and not others.

Did you use it on the target or on the courier? I tried both (emetic for the courier).
For the target, you have to distract Strandberg and have no one else around. People in front of the person you're trying to inject might see you because vision cones are wide enough to sometimes see "backwards".
For the courier... I gave up very quickly.

~38 hours.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe completing an ET with a SA rank also counts towards unlocks.
I don't think that's so.
If that's the case, I'd have already passed the 13 target for the Hitman 2016 suit.
I don't think so it's just for some reason since the game came out whatever number it's tracking seems to be a few ahead so I get unlocks early and it's never been fixed.

It's definitely not that, I've successfully completed all 11 Elusives, six of them with Silent Assassin, and I unlocked the Blood Money suit correctly after ten Elusives, and I still haven't unlocked the regular Hitman suit with gloves (which is the reward for 13 Elusives).
The unlocks were screwed up for some people and they were getting unlocks early; I believe this has since been patched so that new players don't experience it, but anyone who previously had the bug and was 'ahead' is still ahead, and so getting all of the Elusive unlocks earlier than they should.
The next ET starts immediately after the current one finishes.

A new Elusive Target will go live when 'The Fixer' ends.
Neat. First back to back ET, though it is Paris again :/

This is probably because The Fixer was delayed by a week. Plus Hokkaido is releasing immediately afterwards so the schedule is not flexible for a while.
Challenges for The Identity Thief were visible in-game back at the end of June, so this has been in the works for a while. Still working through the Paris backlog?

For visual reasons, to make the locations feel more alive.
At least they have collision detection

A lot of featured contracts went up today - seven in Colorado for everyone who really needs an excuse to use those alternate exits.
Most of these new contracts are basically freeform improvisation. Speedrunners are having a field day.

Side effect of the episodic model, I guess. When it's been retail for a bit, may be a little braver.

Love the new hitman... Elusive targets is one of the best things this game has to offer. I had an amazing experience with my first ET which happened to be the Fixer.
I have only completed Paris (main mission), and as much as I am enjoying the main missions, I enjoyed Fixer ET a bit more due to the added restrictions that further intensified the mission.

Perhaps, but I'd like to see more elsewhere.
The only ETs they've said they have no plans on releasing anything for (at present) is the Summer Bonus Episodes because these are only available to people who bought the game as one product, not as episodes.
To their defence however, this may be the first ET for Paris that wasn't included in review copies when Paris launched in March. Maybe it will be more interesting than nearly...well, everything they've done with ETs in Paris.
Elusive target is up.
This one was easy. Grabbed the auction invite card from the bathroom, followed the target to the auction, and stabbed him with the lethal syringe when he was on the balcony overlooking the grounds. I made a dumb wrong turn while exiting and was caught trespassing for a second, but I would have gotten SA if it weren't for that.

That didn't take long.
I followed him upstairs by drain pipe and ended up following him all the way back down again by stairs. Could have dropped a chandelier, but forgot about that.
Instead, lethal injection once he had gone out the back doors.

How did no one see you do this?

Once he goes out the back door, the guards inside can't see him. The guard sitting to the right is looking the wrong way, and everybody on the lawn is too far away.
I did have a brainfart when I realized that I did all this suit-only and so couldn't just run to the nearby exits. Had to waste some time waiting in the basement.

First thought when I saw the intro video for this weeks ET: "how I can become the escort..."

I finally got a chance to try Colorado
I killed three of the people, the last one I had to get is the mask guy. I killed him in the basement and the woman tells me that I need his body to open the door to the escape. I drag his body over there but I can't hold his face up to the scanner? What's the deal? Is it because I headshotted him?
Is her voiceover inaccurate, and i actually have to go upstairs to use the 3D printer? Do I need to bring the body up there with me? I'm compromised so I'd have to roll back the save pretty far (to before killing the guy with the watch) to be able to easily get upstairs. That'd be really annoying.

You need the other guy. Ezra Berg is the mask guy, Sean Rose is the militia leader.
You're probably not going to get his body down from wherever it is so the 3D printer is going to be the best option.

Oh shit lol, thanks.
So the 3D printer is preloaded with Sean's face? I just need to get to it, no body?
Yes, you just
print it out and take it to the scanner
LOL, I feel your pain. This sounds great but I don't think I can risk it. I need to complete this elusive by any means necessary.
