OK, ET Bookkeeper warnings. This ET is not as bullshit as the ex-dictator, but there are some buggy wrinkles to be aware of. Spoiled in case, no non-bug details on the target are provided. 1. Subduing at least some of the target's guards (not clear if particular ones or any of them) will cause him to flee. This will happen even if you do it silently! 2. The devs know we like to secure a clean route to the secondary objective before taking out the target. When the target dies, his escorts will go a location very near the ledger. One of them is an enforcer. This is bar none the most evil target we've had. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Mar 17, 2017 |

So, er, where do they take body bags in Colorado? I got the ET in front of a lot of people so didn't have the opportunity to grab the ledger off of him. Now i cant find where he got dragged off to and Google isn't helping. Never mind, it was elsewhere

Jay Rust posted:Anyone have any vague hints for this Elusive Targets? I'm having trouble finding a loose thread. If you're going for SA, the only solution I've seen so far involves blowing up a car near the front gate while he paths by it. This requires taking advantage of how his escort lags behind him. Some players have used gas from a barrel that's along the same route, but the timing is tight. In both cases, an audio distraction device can be valuable to separate the guards a bit more, and cause the target to path closer to the barrel. The escape vehicle will not work for this- he stands too far away, and damaging the vehicle stops you from restarting! Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Mar 18, 2017 |

^^^ Aim lower, you're looking to cause the fuel tank to leak and then ignite the puddle. Which one is the escape vehicle? I blew up the car at the corner of the orchard wall, across from the specops barn and the flatbed trailer. Didn't require any separation or coin fuckery or anything. I just winged it for an SA on my first run though, I regret not doing my usual bit of stalking to hear the dialogues, but I was in a rush and I forgot they're active for a whole week nowadays.

The escape vehicle is new- it's outside the perimeter fence, near the house. I...didn't know you could cause a car fuel leak, which might be viable.

Triggered gas explosion, game video froze. Killed the process and restarted; ET now "failed". I guess that's what I get for playing an AMD-branded game on an nVidia card. I really am starting to sour on this mechanic, but I don't know how they can fix it beyond "make the game completely bug free".

Success, but... not silent. By a long shot. I'm not sure if unlocking everything has destroyed my patience but I decided the best way to deal with the target was turn one of the hackers into an unwitting human bomb. Having blown the target, the hacker and a couple of guards to hell, I for some reason assumed he'd drop the ledger, and when I couldn't find it, I assumed one of his remaining guards had picked it up. I don't know, I'm tired. Anyway, the short version is I murdered about ten more people before I finally noticed the safe. Nul points.

Welp I just failed the Elusive Target. I got the ledger, I got him alone in a room, I walked up behind him with a lethal syringe, it said,"Hit x for lethal injection", I hit x.... and 47 kicked him in the knee and punched him in the throat causing an entire battalion to rush into the room and light me up

I kind of hate that sniper contracts are all either cheeseable or intensely aggravating. Wish you could make Professional difficulty contracts as then they can't just be ferried around the level in a guard disguise.

Weird, I loaded the game up again and the Elusive Target was still available, even though I had died and was told I had failed the mission, which I assumed was a permanent state of affairs. Still haven't been able to get him alone like I did that first time though, he either ignores sounds (not even sending his escort to go look) or heads off in completely different directions each time.

Well I guess all things even out, now it lists the mission as failed for me so I guess it was an online thing - I was trying to set him up with the fire extinguisher after the lethal poison syringe bugged but I had it down in the hall instead of up the top of the stairs which would have made more sense, and now I won't get another chance at it. No luck for me on this one

I popped a fire extinguisher and the screen froze for about a second. When things came back up, I was compromised, hackers we're running around, and I was standing in the hallway with a gun in my hand like if just come out of some weird fugue state. This is when the game should have played the Benny Hill music, as I ran into the bathroom, was followed by a guard, meleed him instead of subdued him, changed into his clothes, was immediately spotted by an enforcer, sprinted into the bedroom and hid in the wardrobe. Somehow I managed to stay hidden through the search, and as people returned to normal I breached the safe and got out. So mission accomplished, but no SA. Still, fuckups are a blast in this game sometimes.

Nakar posted:If this is the one I think it is then no, it shouldn't require anything crazy. Throw a coin in the back to lure the cop then run around and shoot the car near the stairs so Decker checks it, lure him down into the stairwell and knock him out. Drag him to the box in the basement and use the nearby extinguisher to accident him, stash in box, change into the disguise in the locker room, run to the kitchen stairs. Carefully go to the end of the auction entrance hall and close the doors, plus the side doors; do not walk too far forward or the second target will start her script to walk upstairs. Walk behind the guard until you see a subdue prompt, subdue and take gun, drag into the womens' restroom. The model and Palace Staff on their phones shouldn't notice 95% of the time. Walk back down the hallway and walk enough to prompt the target to start moving, close the doors behind her, kill her in the hallway and put her in the same place you put the security guard. Exit downstairs, destroying evidence if necessary. for the smoking woman you have to kill, I prefer to come from the other direction and coin her to the pond area just as she stops smoking, you can knock her out unseen behind the wall, then drag her body directly away from the double doors and once you're out of the bodyguards' view about 2/3 of the way along the pond's length dump her into the water and you should be able to do all this before the one dude who walks through the pond area shows up on his route.

Sniped the elusive target from the water tower and quickly left the area before his personal contingent of guards came close. Wandered around forever and finally found the ledger and managed to snag it without much trouble. Two more ETs until I can get the Blood Money suit.

This was a bit of a letdown of an ET - Colorado is full of wonderful opportunity for accidents but this target dodges all of them and/or would get his bodyguards killed as well. Ended up creating a car bomb. Didn't feel very fun.

Got annoyed with how confused and disorganized his guards are when it comes to investigating anything so while I did figure out a way to SA him with a propane tank and my Silverballer I had to take a whiz so I just blew it up and took him and a guard out in the explosion. Now to get into the safe somehow. Guess I'll try a fire extinguisher or nitroglycerin.

No, you're not supposed to have any idea that's there. No, it's not easy to get. No, it's not worth it. But that's where it is and that's how you do it, if you're trying for SA. Otherwise just loving kill Konny and go about your business.

Accident kill but no Silent Assassin for me because I murdered someone by mistake. Dropped a fire extinguisher in the house door and set a Breaching Charge once all the regular level targets had gone through their routines, but one of the ET's guards was caught in the blast.
