What a perfect time for Io-Interactive to deliver another slice of “Elusive Target” pie. Just around the corner is Hitman’s Season Finale, for all those impatient assassins out there in murderland who can’t wait another two weeks for the newest installment, comes the eleventh Elusive Target event.
The Fixer, taking place in the Episode 3: Marrakesh locale, is available today for all Season Pass holders on all applicable platforms. Much like the previous Elusive Targets, this live event is a one shot deal; players have only one attempt to take down their target and escape with the highest score possible, once they’re down, they’re down for the count.
The target to meet the end of one of Agent 47’s bullets is Xander Haverfoek, who’s in the neighborhood to collect some conflict diamonds for his good ol’ buddy, Claus Hugo Strandberg. Players must track down the target, collect the booty, show Xander a one way ticket to hell, and then high tail it out of the area in order to successfully complete the job.
With today’s event comes an extended target deadline of 168 hours, ending October 21st. Some people might think that these events are truly a one chance, fail, game over, the end, do not pass go, end of the line, you lose type of dealio. Technically it’s not, you can restart an unlimited amount of times, as long as you never actually kill the target, once that happens, what’s done is done. As such, one could totally take advantage of the 7 day deadline to get a feel of the surroundings before finally committing to plan.
As always agents, good luck and have fun!
The eleventh Elusive Target, The Fixer, is now live in Marrakesh across all platforms. A briefing video is available online and in-game to help players determine the approximate location of the target. Players will need to own HITMAN Episode 3: Marrakesh in order to access this content.
