Can anyone give me a hint on where the tripwire disarm device is?

In the same room as the laptop you have to hack.
Bring a unlocking tool to the mission and begin directly in the attic.

Thanks! Kind of figured it had to be that or the security array in the basement.

Has anyone figured out which location has the laboratory from the trailers, where you assassinate the scientist?

Episode II, I'd imagine.
That first trailer only showed Paris, Italy & Morocco (Episodes 1, 2 & 3) and I don't see why there would be an underground lab in an *spoilers for the setting of episode 3, if you don't want to know*

Sapienza.
The episode focused on a biological weapon, and this has a lab somewhere involved in its creation.
It may have connections to Dexter Industries from Absolution, but those were placeholder guys in a leaked briefing.

That's right. At least you can't shove the rifle in your suit anymore.

I've been re-watching the very first trailer and there are lots of little hints for the episodes to come. You can see:
- Viktor Novikov and the models (Paris Map);
- A guy on a pool party surrounded by girls in a very good looking house, lab scientists testing wine quality (Sapienza Map);
- A guy drinking coffee and looking out the window to what appears to be a riot/protest (Marrocos map);
- Agent 47 running on the snow (nothing really, but I would love to have a map on a snowy area).
It will be an unlock in future episodes.
I can't express how unreasonably disappointed I am by that (the case thing, not the suit thing).
edit:
Yay. Will that also unlock it for previous episodes?
is that not the prologue area? anyway, you just reminded me the game needs a Christmas mission. Bring back the santa suit.

I'm pretty sure the last mission will be at the
Church of Ascendancy temple

All the items/costumes you unlock on the next episodes are retroactive, so yes.
The prologue is like, 2 seconds, it's not even a mission, hahaha. Having a Christmas mission would be awesome. Even more so if it was set in New York. The Division happens during the hollidays too so it would be nice to see how both engines compare graphically in the same area.

Maybe we'll be able to use it on the Sapienza map. Naughty Italians......

Under the original release plan there were supposed to be six missions between Paris, Sapienza, and Marrakesh, so there would have to be more than one target in the other two locations.

Wait which plot thread is this?
just in the reveal trailer it cuts between four assassinations, just wondering if the photographer red room assassination was confirmed for sapenzia or not
I do believe he's either for Sapienza or Morocco, one of the two.
It's crazy how much dialogue there is in this game. I had a playthrough where I decided to hang around with the reporter and camera-man at the start and their dialogue after they wrap up their shoot goes on for ages. Nice little way of revealing more of the story and world building.
i should probably have expected this, but apparently 47 can't trigger a bomb without being super suspicious. I just got the Photobomb cheevo but decided not to hide myself when waiting to trigger the bomb... the second I triggered it every security guard whirled and shot me and I had to dash to a gate.
to be fair, I was being pretty fucking suspicious.

I think it might be glitched, that's happened to me even when I've been hidden and not in anyones line of sight.

They're both for unique kills in 'The Final Test'. Details below, if you want them spoiled outright.
1. Ejector seat accident.
2. Get the KGB Colonel to kill the target.
Seems Escalation Contracts delivers.

I'd be very surprised if the rifle case wasn't eventually in. They're using it in ads, it's been one of the most requested missing features players are clamoring for on many forums, and was one of five choices in I/O's most recent email survey. They know people are begging for it.
Personally I'm more worried at the lack of blood and brutality. Need moar blood.
What happens is the guards outside go into an alert state (white dot) once you trigger the bomb. So technically they didn't see you do it, they just go into immediate suspicion mode and you happen to be the only guy at the party they are allowed to be suspicious about.
If you walk towards the mansion and trigger the explosive as soon as you walk in the entrance and put the device away as soon as you trigger it, you'll be fine, since the guards indoors don't 'turn white'.

My problem with the escalation contracts has been that even though they keep upping the ante I can't just sit down and do the exact same contract 5 times in a row, I get bored. I have to mix it up with a standard mission run or some other contracts in the middle of the escalation.
Oh cool. Thanks, I only tried it the once so I was curious as to how it worked.

I hope that going forward they'll star the escalations off with more steps. These first few have been good (though repetitive, like you said) but they can't keep starting them off the same way for 6+ episodes.
Just completed both of the Paris escalations and didn't get the reward for either, as well.

I'd prefer it to be something more like things change as the levels go up, not just added.
For example, now it's
1. Kill so and so with any weapon, any disguise.
2. Kill so and so with any weapon, any disguise. Escape in the speedboat.
3. etc.
I'd like
1. Kill so and so with any weapon, any disguise.
2. Kill so and so with silenced weapon, any disguise. Escape in the speedboat.
3. Kill so and so with hammer, staff disguise. Kill person #2 with a screwdriver. Escape in the basement.
Change it up as the levels progress instead of just adding 1 more thing to the things you've done the previous levels.

The hitman twitter confirmed some time yesterday that the challenge is for completing all 5 levels on 10 different escalations, so just like the 5 elusive targets, nobody can complete that one just yet.
Yeah, here's hoping they change it up like this as the season goes on...I think this might be just as much a matter of the devs getting their feet wet as it is for us getting used to the system.

There are 3 challenges for the escalation contracts right now though, aren't there?
1 each for completing all the levels in the contracts in Paris and then 1 for completing 10 escalation contracts.
Man I wouldn't be averse to more maps the cozy size of the training levels, they're really fun.
Also they don't lag my machine occasionally, which is a nice bonus
I think it's fair to keep adding things - they are escalations after all - but they should be, like, additional things in different categories.
I was vaguely thinking about randomisation but that would probably kinda suck.

Wait, is the point shooting mechanic from Absolution in this game?
No, every weapon has an instant incap if performed from melee range against an unaware opponent - for pistols it's marked 'execute'.
actually i dunno about sniper rifles and stuff
actually what mechanics have we walked back here? crowd blending (outside of spots), instinct hiding... human shields...
They cut a lot of stuff from Absolution. Human shields. crowd blending, point shooting, sniping controls and ballistics . There are also a lot of missing animations (like when dumping bodies in containers) and significantly less blood and violence. Contracts mode is extremely barebones at the moment.
Honestly if both games were part of the same generation of hardware, I'd swear that Absolution was a sequel to Hitman 2016

Yeah, I sent them a tweet asking when it is coming. They haven't responded me back yet.
i agree
i'd love a mix of paris-sized, but also smaller scale levels, too
not every stage has to be MASSIVE
variety is nice
edit: but thats tough to do with their release schedule. they cant just sell a 10 dollr stage if its small. but they could do a few smaller stages in an update, instead of 1 big one

as far as I'm aware there is an achievement/trophy for getting a level 5 escalation in The Final Test and one for getting a level 5 escalation in Paris, but not in-game challenges, that one is just the 10 escalations.

If they release Elusive Targets before they've sorted their servers out, I will be flipping fucking tables. I still can't stay online for more than ten minutes without being booted.
Screaming Meat

Yeah. Whyzzat?
checking server stability. only got server booted once, but crashed twice. Still, I feel ya; they need to get the game stable before more content, especially for a timed target.
Is it 48 hours total or 48 hours from when you start the target?
