Bump. New Content comes out Tuesday (possibly tomorrow night?)

Probably at like7-9am EST like when all their S1 content used to drop

So, while I wait for the new content to come out, what gimmick/challenge runs do you guys normally do, to keep things interesting/challenging? Like, for example the other day I did a SASO run while carrying around/using a fire axe to kill the targets in Marrakesh, leaving the axe sticking out of the guy's head. (i.e. not touching the bodies at all; just leaving the target where he drops - so I need to pick a good moment to attack, then get out quickly just in case someone finds the body)
It was definitely a challenge as people don't take kindly to grumpy-looking men creeping through embassies with axes, although I'm wondering whether you all have different gimmick ideas I could try out, in the coming days

New mission ideas:

-Massive shopping mall, but most of it is boarded up and empty and the whole place is basically decaying.
-US Civil War reenactment.

Wait, isn’t retail dying in the US? I bet you can use an actual mall or a Sears or KMart

This, but also include a reference to the below famous scene from The Simpsons. So if you reveal the school group 'stealing' free education through some opportunity or another, a bunch of the actors will angrily go over to the principal (who is presumably a target) and create an opening for you. :D

The sapienza map seems epic but i have to leave now. Wish these alternates had their own mastery track though, it'd be nice to unlock goofy bioweapons to use in other levels

Good stuff. I'm a little sad I missed out on the cool, gold coin people got, but I'm pretty happy they brought back the mission to kill Gary Busey.

Ah nice - how differently does it make you play, on that map? Hopefully it's quite well thought-out and forces you to think outside the tried-and-true "Club 27" box, like the elusive targets did.
Currently at work, but I'm going to buy and download it ASAP, when I get home.

I've only played the one map but it wasn't just new targets in the old map, the routing, factions and spaces are all new and there's new assets and reimagining of old locations. It's cool

Just bought this and waiting for it to download. I will probably be rusty as hell since I haven't played since the last elusive target, but looking forward to booting up my GOTY 2016 again.

Ah, nice - so sort of like what they did for The Icon then, I guess? Sounds good!

Have fun! It's such a good game; not many other games these days make you think outside the box nearly as well. Can't wait to get home, so I can download the update and dive back in, too

Cool; although I hope that they're able to release seasons two (and hopefully three) as per their original plan; it'd be a bit of a shame to have HITMAN(TM) 2016 cut short to only one-and-a-bit seasons, otherwise.

I haven't played yet but apparently the new GOTY update categorizes all the old content as "Season 1" so I assume they're keeping that structure .

on paper mission 3 should be the weakest of the new ones, but im enjoying replaying it actually


maybe I am a sucker for Diane calling me an idiot (in her way) for not getting the targets fast enough/shooting the wrong ones

Colorado was a nice callback to one of my favorite Hitman 2 levels, but Hokkaido was the coolest of all. I love that IOI aren't afraid to play around with the formula a bit.

The name escapes me but it's one of the Russian ones where you assassinate a general, but you don't know the target until there's a meeting with all the top brass. So Diana feeds you intel piece by piece.
