In between the releases of Hitman episodes, Square Enix has additional content planned for players. The Elusive Targets have their own set of rules and procedures for taking them out in-game.
Elusive Targets appear for a limited time, the first one will be there for 48 hours. You have limited intel to work with, and they won’t appear on the mini map or in instinct mode. Your target can only die once, and if you die during the mission, you blew it.
Square Enix is telling you about this elusive target in advance, but in the future they might not give much notice as to when one appears. You’ll have to keep an eye on their social media and look at online forums to know when one comes up.
They go over it in more detail on their website post. Diana will give you the critical intel, but during this contract even saving your game is not an option. Rewards for completing of 5 Elusive Target contracts is the suit from Hitman: Absolution. Complete 10 Elusive Target contracts and you get the Hitman: Blood Money suit.
The game came out back in March with their first episode, and the second episode arrived at the end of April. You can pick up this latest Hitman game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out their website, Twitter, and Reddit for all the latest updates.
