One thing the company has been unusually good at in the past is accurate (or at least attempts at accurate) foreign language lines. People speaking Chinese in the China levels have an actual script spoken in remotely plausible Chinese, etc.

I wanted to do a run through Paris to get some of the challenges, and by sheer coincidence, I ended the mission at 47 minutes and 47 seconds, speeding away in Larin's boat.

How do you zoom with the sniper rifle? I hold left trigger and it zooms somewhat, but I can't get to it's second setting, which I've seen people use in YouTube videos. Is there like some sort of sniper upgrade? I think I've pressed every button on the controller while holding left trigger and nothing happens.

The one from Italy has a long zoom, but no silencer. The one from Paris has a silencer, but a short zoom. Edit- poo poo, beaten.

My favourite was the italian priest yelling, in a thick american accent, that he was going to kick my rear end if he caught me around here again. The voice acting is pretty bad but the lines themselves are often pretty funny, so it works. The best line is the one yelled by suspicious security guys: "Someone's doing stuff they shouldn't!"

Is it a PC hack or something? VVV: Ahh, thanks. I thought there were two snipers, each of which had a different zoom level, not that one has two. Now I get it.

That's the second sniper rifle. You unlock one in Paris and one in Italy. Paris is silenced, but only has one zoom level. Italy has two zoom levels, but isn't silenced. Paris has a bigger clip, but you can only carry three extra. Italy has a smaller clip, but you can carry four.

New elusive target!  https://hitman.com/en-us/news/elusive-target-may-27 quote:At some point on Friday 27th May during European hours, we’ll update the Elusive Target tile on the Featured Hub in-game and the contract will be live. Make sure you’re ready, because The Congressman will only be in Sapienza for 48 hours and there won’t be any second chances.  I'm looking forward to assassinating Francis Underwood.

My favorite is the 3-part battle axe. It ramps up quickly and there is a significant difference in difficulty in all 3 levels. Plus you get to bury a battle axe in peoples foreheads and then kick them off of your axe.

I saw a picture of 47 screwing a silencer onto his gun and it made me want to be able to do that. It would be pretty cool to be able to sneak up on a target and then ominously attach the silencer before taking them out. Completely irrelevant to gameplay but still a very hitmany thing to do, so I should be able to.

Functionally it's exactly the same as it works now, but it just feels cooler to approach with the wire pulled taut.

I was not very stylish with the last elusive target, I basically just walked up to him and stabbed him in the gut with a letter opener. I'm hoping to improve with this new target.

Silently assassined him. The hows of it are in the spoiler space. He's got a fairly set routine to begin with, and he didn't do any eating or drinking. To shock him out of his rut, I decided to bludgeon the houseboy who kept giving him things to do - only to discover that the Congressman had no brain of his own! He stood in the middle of the room, helpless, immobile, eyes dead as a fish, speaking only when I passed close to him, and then in some entirely different accent. "Hey man, don't be a slave to wealth!" this previously wealth-loving politician hooted in the voice of a twat. Clearly the houseboy was in charge, via telepathic control! Only death could free the poor sap, so I lured his guards away with coins and dropped guns, and once they were out of the way I released that mindless shell of a man from his indescribable torment. I don't know if there's a way to get him off his track aside from that - I heard some talk of a plague rat running loose, so there might be some super cool way to finish him off using that.

I didn't manage anything spectacular, just sniped him from the clock tower while he was in front of the house. Did have a close call trying to get out, I didn't move fast enough on the way down and almost ran into the guards running up to investigate. Managed to duck into that weird unused office and get out of an alternate exit.

Minor spoiler: he does sip some wine in the basement. Didn't use it to poison him though so I don't know where he runs to purge. Did mine by peeling off his guards and basic coin tossing. Silent Assassin rating but it was about the dullest way to do that.

Well if you've unlocked it you can start with lethal poison, so that would be a quick and easy way to get Silent Assassin I guess.. That does seem kinda boring for a one-time only kill though.

Got him with four stars. I went rather sloppy because I got caught on camera and I though the glitch was still active, but nope. Missed SA because I just chucked in a knife in his face down in the wine cellar One complaint is that they put places where you could kill him surrounded by staff so it feels like it forces you to be really cheesy or sloppy.

Managed to duck into that weird unused office and get out of an alternate exit. I did basically the same, except I sniped from the attorney's office on the second floor. Made escaping quicker. One bad thing about these being one shot challenges is that I decide to pick the path of least resistance/least chance of failure. Can't be creative with my kills when I only get one chance. I had a really hard time actually finding the target - I guess he was in the wine cellar when I searched the house, then when I restarted with another disguise and searched the chellar he decided to hang around in the library. Was a bit disappointed that he started in the house - as before, the majority of Sapienza is totally underused. Also, I found a way to confirm your elusive targets actually were counted - they don't show up under the "main" list of challenges etc, but under the "career" tab you can see them on the individual level statistics.

However, when he's in there vomiting, he's got his two guards in the room with him. What I did was chuck a can of spaghetti outside to get one to come out, choke him, choke the other guard in the bathroom, then kill the target. I moved all the duders into the bathroom, but didn't close the door manually, even though my wife told me to. A mansion staff walked by and spotted the bodies. I choked him out too, and that didn't count toward bodies found. I was sloppy and was spotted numerous times setting things up, so I only wound up with four stars.

Ah poo poo. One of the mansion staff guys turned around at the worst possible moment and I got screwed out of a Silent Assassin rating that way. So far I've succeeded in killing both elusive targets, but managed to get unlucky enough that someone found the body before I could stash it and get out of there both times.

It seems like the right thing to do with all of the elusive targets is to shadow them through their entire routine several times, then restart and actually take action.
