Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or what. Makes sense though.

Bah, just barely blew the SA on that Elusive trying to find the safe. Not terribly difficult otherwise.
You can blow up a fire extinguisher outside the security room to clear it by the way
Dammit, working from home today, thought I'd hop in to check it out, hopefully this gets resolved soon.

Fucked up SA on the ET. Did everything perfectly until I was making my way to the exit and then got spotted and that was that. Luckily I don't need SA anymore to unlock suits.

SA/SO in Paris on pro difficulty ended up being surprisingly easy (after multiple bouts of trial and error with a different approach).
Started on the red carpet, went to the basement (shooting out cameras on the way), waited for the guard to enter the room, then shot the evidence from the doorway, went back upstairs, turned on the vacuum to distract the exhibit guard, made my way to the drainpipe right outside, climbed into the right-hand window, knocked out the guard in the large room to the left, used a coin to lure the technician with the fireworks remote, knocked him out and took it, then used the ladder on the saferoom's balcony to climb up to the top floor, snuck out of the attic, then used the fireworks remote to set up the opportunity to shove Dalia onto Viktor.
Figured it out, it was a hud toggle mod I was using for screenshotting.
Messed up SA on the elusive, stupid mistake too. Was getting a guard uni when I was on my way to the safe and just got sloppy and the guard himself saw me. Oh well.
Firealarm is your friend.

Can you do them in reverse? Files > Target.

Same. Sapienza the GOAT
Yeah. You have to use a breaching charge to open the save without her key though.

Hmm. I might try that route when I try it later tonight cause if I mess it up, I should be able to restart.

Failed on Bangkok elusive target again. Damn this hotel
I kinda wish Sapienza didn't have the bioweapon objective or whatever it is. Going down to the lab gets old after a while.

That was intense, but I got the elusive this time.
Climbed up from the suite then disguised as soldier. Killed Nne Obara with her own machete. Then went to the security room (after an hour of wandering because I haven't played this map much) and poisoned the air intake, which made all the guards leave. Then it was a simple case of hammer meet face to the military guy and phat lewts!

I have a quick question now that I'm trying to think about how to go about getting the files and then moving on to the target, do people freak out when breach charges go off? I might have used them once or twice the whole time I've spent with this game and they were in isolated areas.
You can also just use a lockpick.
Remembrance

Only people very close by will freak out if they actually see the explosion. People who just hear it will just investigate the noise. And all of that only matters within a small radius, because it's so quiet.
Seriously, breaching charges have the most uses out of any item in the game. I would take them on every mission unless I absolutely have to bring three other items.
YAAAS SA on the warlord.
I was halfway to the exit before I realized I hadn't wiped the video evidence.
Tip on getting the second objective:

Tip on getting the second objective:
Using a breaching charge to open the safe will alert the soldiers, but they won't get suspicious. Picking up the USB stick doesn't alert them at all if you are in a guard uniform.

That was the most difficult elusive I've ever done. Enforcers everywhere. I was nearly caught by two separate enforcers trying to leave the level.
I put my suit back on so I could stroll out the front door.

That was definitely the best Elusive Target I've played so far (5 total).
I got 4/5 rating, like an idiot I just opened the safe in front of the guards and took the USB lol. I barely played Thailand as it's the only level I didn't like upon replays, so it took me almost an hour to beat it.

I'd been so focused on SA recently, I forgot it's kind of fun to just flub your way through an Elusive and 2-star it.

Well, I blew the warlord ET because it glitched on me. I killed the target alone in a bedroom on the top floor, then every NPC in the building went suspicious and turned into a white dot on the map.

I've searched this hotel high and low. Where is the ET?
EDIT: Nvm. Found her.

Which raises suspicion no matter what uniform you wear. If you use the breaching charge with the security outfit the soldiers will just let you walk up to the safe, place and blow the charge without getting suspicious at all. Then just grab the stick and get the hell outta there.

That was the first Silent Assassin I've missed on an elusive since the Twins. I feel so ashamed.

That was my sloppiest ET yet. Accidentally grabbed a letter opener in a full room, which is considered a dangerous weapon, and had to dispose of a few guards. Then I spent five minutes looking for
a fire alarm to clear the safe room.
Good to know that small explosives are not suspicious but fiddling too long with a lock is.
Remembrance
Member
Small explosives are suspicious on professional difficulty, of course.
Not to mention screwdrivers, wrenches, crowbars, hammers, fire extinguishers, propane tanks, scissors, busts...
Yeah well that's just how Hitman works on normal difficulty right now. Sure could use some AI tweaking.

With the security disguise, there's only one enforcer in that room. I'm not sure if using the key to open the safe is a suspicious action, but you can use breaching charges to open it and picking up the USB drive isn't suspicious at all.
Remembrance
Member
Using a key has never been a suspicious action in the game. In this case the tradeoff is just that you have to commit to killing the target first to get the key and locking in your run.

Had a different approach to get in position but yup
the balcony pushing opportunity is by far the easiest and most efficient way to finish that off.

I can say with absolute certainty that I am the worst hitman of all time
That Elusive Target went fucking sideways sooooo bad cause I phone bombed her but had no idea where the intel was

pretty sure it doesn't? the guards come check on her after like 10 seconds no matter which way you kill her (or even knock her out)
I think it does, but you're right, the guards come either way. I killed her with the syringe and got body found a few seconds later.

About opening the safe:
Got SA after almost an hour. Need one more for the winter suit, and the next one is on Hokkaido ...
Glad I checked to see if using the key on the safe was suspicious, because it is. Checked with the hotel security and militia soldier disguises, and the key had a warning both times.

I don't think it's trash, but I'm no fan of it either, and the normal targets are both boring.

Finished the last professional SA/SO on Hokkaido. I actually thought it would be straightforward because this is one of the easiest SA/SO missions in the normal game but it ended up being my longest run by quite some margin. They've absolutely stuffed the heart room with guards that you need to deal with. By the end of the run I had subdued over a dozen people. I'd really love to see someone pull off an SA/SO/No KO run on this level.
EDIT - GuLe did it with basically one KO (which wouldn't have been required if he had a gun to start with). How come shooting Soders in the head with a loud weapon still gives him an SA rating?
