For me on this Elusive, the foot of the stairs in Colorado had Sean Rose standing at the clock unmoving, with his bodyguard watching the stairs. They never moved an inch, no matter what I did to try and trigger them. I've watched vids of other players and nobody else seemed to have that. PS4 Pro version here.

Was that a bug? I eventually got SA but it was harder than the regular missions for me!

I ran into the same thing with Rose and his bodyguard yesterday while playing the normal mission, except it was in his room after I had messed with his pencils. Stood there forever and never moved. Threw coins at him and the guard and they didn't react at all. It's gotta be a bug, maybe something in the scripting for his OCD opportunity?

I've had this on PC once. Reloading an earlier save fixed it - but obviously you can't do that during an elusive target.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yay my first SA Elusive. This one was very straightforward for me, and I didn't even have a hacker costume so I had to start outside. Hell, getting inside was the hardest part for me lol

Spoiler

I disguised an elite, went upstairs, took a hacker disguise, stole the documents, waited until the suspicious hacker was away AND the guard was out of his room, threw a fruit to make him stand up and look at a corner, and poisoned his water bottle

. Also did the quad bike escape here. It's dumb that the escape challenges can only be done in elusive/escalation.

I mean seriously, getting inside was the hardest part since no elites as far as I know were outside the trespassing area.

 

[Thorgal]

If you felt the game was cheap, you can be cheap back

Spoiler

When you fail SA just pause the game, disconnect from the internet and return to the main menu. Then reconnect and you'll be able to retry the elusive again.

simpler solution :

j

Spoiler

ust force the game to close with task manager and restart the game and you can try again .

Thanks guys. Hardest Elusive Target ever, and I hope to god there's never another one like it.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Meh, always the same shit. I forgot hacking a laptop is the equivalent of killing a target in ETs, so I wouldn't be able to restart after that. Failed ET

It was actually one of the easiest if you know Colorado on the back of your hands.

 

[Thorgal]

It was actually one of the easiest if you know Colorado on the back of your hands.

not even that really, just an understanding of the house layout .

 

[Boss Doggie]

my only problem really is getting an elite disguise, is there an easy way to get one? all of them are in the tresspassing zone

Unless your game was bugged like mine. That's what the guys I quoted were talking about.

 

[Revolutionary]

He kept standing up and sitting down so I just

syringed him with emetic poison then threw him out of a window.

Pretty simple and now I have my Winter Coat.

 

[CloudWolf]

Yes, spoilered for people who want to find out themselves:

Spoiler

You can find one in one of the open trucks in front of the house.

couldn't you just restart the mission? unless of course you've already retrieved the documents

for not checking there

lol

 

[The Technomancer]

What I do is

Spoiler

run to the shed behind the house, climb in the window, turn on the radio, climb out the window, wait for someone to investigate, wrench them in the head, climb back in, turn off the radio, take their disguise

Takes like one minute

 

[Nictel]

Wow, this gotta be the easiest Elusive ever released so far despite all the killing conditions. There is literally no excuse to not get Silent Assassin this time. Here is my run:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOtlkw-eplg

Here was my run:

- Started super silent
- Forgot I was on Elusive
- Got annoyed at guard and started shooting the place up
- Died
- Realized I was on Elusive
- *Insert tears here*

Did they recently add share play? It's working for me

There's an elite costume in

Spoiler

one of the trailers near the house

that you can get without anyone catching you.

Edit: I see this was already mentioned. My hardest part was not getting noticed by the cameras. I started as one of the bomb guys, and ended up

Spoiler

going in through the back window into the wash room. Went upstairs, unlocked the bathroom, then stuck one of the hackers with the emetic poison, knocked him out, and dragged him into the master bedroom closet. Then I grabbed his costume and nabbed the files before pushing the target off the balcony. Left the way I came in the house and took the bridge out.

SA for me!

 

[The Technomancer]

Wait can you unlock a hacker costume/starting place in Colorado? I swore you could but then I hit level 20 mastery and I didn't

 

[Fitz]

You can, start right inside the house as well. It's one of the last ones iirc, but it's not available for this elusive.

Ahh okay

 

[ArjanN]

Ah, I was wondering if I was remembering that wrong. Honestly that change is why I don't think this one was as easy as people make it out to be. For some of the other ETs you could just start with the 'right' disguise.

 

[zert]

Ok gaf should I buy the complete season? I haven't play Hitman since the PS2 days but I've heard many great things about this one.

I was waiting for a sale but I want something to play before Resident Evil 7.

So... do you recommend me to buy all of it or just the intro pack or just an episode?

You could buy the intro pack and if you like it there's an upgrade pack that gives you the rest of the game. all together it's about the same price so you don't lose out doing it that way.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Fucking lost Silent Assasin at the LAST SECOND. Fucking guy in the basement saw me as I was exiting with the mask. So stupid of me.

 

[Zekes!]

This was my second elusive target and I failed. I got impatient when trying to get an Elite Militia costume. Was trying to lure a guard into the little shed behind the house, but instead of subduing him I ended up punching him, and then the radio was still on so another guard was alerted and I was shot down quick

I now know the saltiness of not being able to try it again

SA for me!

I feel the cameras are easy to deal with in Colorado.

Spoiler

Very out in the open and easy to shoot with a gun.

Now doing a suit only SA run for Colorado feels challenging.

You know you can restart the mission if it goes bad and you enter combat mode, right?

 

[zer0blivion]

Yes, unless you've completed one of the objectives. Downloading the files or killing the target disables the retry and replan options.

 

[endlessflood]

I did, I had the same bug every time

I eventually was able to work around it, but it involved clearing out a lot of the ground floor of the house, not the sort of thing you generally want to be doing on an Elusive! I was very lucky that I'd decided to smuggle in the ICA Audio Distractor just for the hell of it, it turned out to be the only way to get Rose to move at all.

not really

 

[Stall19]

Doing suit only SA in Colorado was pretty easy once I realized that I never needed to leave the main house to complete all the objectives.

Bangkok was definitely the hardest for me.

 

[Stoze]

Ah, I was wondering if I was remembering that wrong. Honestly that change is why I don't think this one was as easy as people make it out to be. For some of the other ETs you could just start with the 'right' disguise.

By not being able to spawn in the house that tells you the target is in the house, so unlike a lot of other ETs you didn't have to spend anytime finding them. As mentioned there's an elite soldier disguise in a trailer directly in front of the house that you can change into without triggering suspicion.

It's harder if you don't know the map very well or haven't done ETs before, but you could say that about all of them.

 

[Oreoleo]

I haven't given this a proper go yet, but Maya comes into the house at some point? I've basically only seen her rotate between the barn and mechanic area.

Edit: I had no idea there was a guard suit in the van outside the house. I just go up the left hand ramp and sprint through the front doors of the house when Ezra isn't around. There's a pretty big gap in guard visibility if you time it right.

 

[Murkas]

Winter suit is so awesome (pushed the target off the balcony) , been wanting it since Sapienza was released and was hoping they'd add a winter style suit later in the season.

Hoping for a three piece suit next.

No, but

you can shoot the haysack from the house.

 

[Remembrance]

The world record for SA on Showstopper is now back down to 33 seconds: https://youtube.com/watch?v=BDtoNv_7USk

Basically a faster way was found to make the guard on Dalia's balcony move.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Fucking lost Silent Assasin at the LAST SECOND. Fucking guy in the basement saw me as I was exiting with the mask. So stupid of me.

Happened to me with the Chef. The guy near the helicopter saw me just as I was pressing Y to exit the mission. I would have gotten my winter coat today if it hadn't been for that one mistake

 

[Deadstar]

Failed the Chameleon elusive. I got the target with emetic poison but instead of throwing up in the toilet he threw up in the trash can. Then he went back to his route and saw the bodies I piled up. Terrible.

 

[MUnited83]

How to exit Sapienza properly after making someone somersault

 

[whalleywhat]

Did they patch something to do with the 'compromised' mechanics? I knocked out a guard with a throwable from behind-ish but it said I'd been compromised and his body was orange, then completed the elusive and still got SA. It said I'd never been spotted.

This is probably not something to rely on in the long run, but right now there are a couple of probably unintentional exceptions where "compromised" doesn't count against you. One of these is where you get spotted in mid-throw by someone who gets immediately knocked out.

 

[Boss Doggie]

not really

Ah wow, so basically just run to the edges and do accidentals.

I thought compromised is fine as long as you knock out the person and the guy hasn't told anyone yet

 

[Berserking Guts]

This is my third ET SA. I can already taste that Winter Costume

 

[Drazgul]

Did everything perfectly (poison syringe counts as accident on the target btw.), and then when I'm about to exit an aware guard comes out of nowhere and notices me, killing my SA rating. Some bullshit.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wish there's a reward for a run-and-gun playthrough for each level

 

[Moff]

damn I got recorded
I clearly haven't played enough colorado

Hay bale ET SA

Was just about to post this. Fucking insane, I had no idea you could move the Hay bale away like that.

Holy shit that was not what I was expecting lol.
