New Elusive Target: THE SPLITTER (December 12th, 2024 - January 12th, 2025)

@Frote7 I’ve just watched your sub-2 minute run on this on YT and my mind is blown. GG, mate, G-fuckin’-G.

I think they reuse the pen so much because it’s an easy way to get a cutscene kill without having to do more work to make a unique one like Abiatti’s church spire impalement or kicking Robert Knox onto Sierra’s car

4 Stars due to a chloroform flask locking onto a scientist’s head next to a guy in a red onesie. :face_exhaling: I could’ve disconnected, but I took the 4 :star: like a man. :expressionless:

not sure if someone already answered this, but i also had this problem

i noticed the store has a combined pack of all the celebrETs packs, which was labelled as “purchased” for me (assuming because i’ve purchased each individual pack) and weirdly enough i was able to download that one with no issue

after that i had the splitter pack items in game, hope this helps!

Since Valliant gives Pritchard a 2-hour time limit, I decided to run up the clock and see if anything would happen. Unfortunately it didn’t seem to, I let to go until 2:45 or so on the timer and neither did anything new.

Same same. It’s lost its uniqueness by now :slightly_frowning_face:

Which still voids SA… :unamused:

Especially since the only ones where it makes sense with who the backstory of the target is Craig Black and Mark Faba.

Still so pissed at this.

Clone #4 if you put the explosive golf ball in the bucket before Valliant reaches it during the tour, causing the clone to shoot the ball and blow it up. Lovely touch.

The glass walls around the shooting range, which one could only assume are meant to be bulletproof, are not in fact bulletproof. You can just shoot right through them.

:confused:

Thank you so much. This worked for me too🙂

I just failed this ET :slight_smile:

Word to the wise: if you start killing clones before the meeting is over, Valliant will kill the ICA envoi when he brings him to his office and your disguise will be compromised and everyone in the room will shoot at you. I was wearing a facility guard disguise at the time to boot.

Feels a bit buggy to me but I’ll get over it. I’m not missing out on an unlock, am I?

I will have to look it up but i think there is just one for starting the contract, no unlock for completing it other than the challenges for completing N elusive targets.

Hey folks :]

Just wanted to let you all know that the latest version of the Unofficial Community Patch has a temporary update that should fix 47 getting shot and killed when he’s not actually downrange.

The hitbox for killing him looks like this unmodded:

And with the patch made by Cybore:

This will be removed once IO fixes it, but in the meantime PC players can have this, at least.

Make sure you update on SMF’s homepage! I’m probably not going to bother uploading this version to Nexus since IOI have said a hotfix is on the way, so the bug & fix likely won’t stick around for too long. SMF’s homepage will notify you there’s a new update available once you’ve installed the mod :]

Its surprising that they even had it extend that far out, sure they didn’t intend for it to be activating outside of that one scenario - but what if the player was standing right next to the clone and was just a few pixels in the box?

I eliminated The Splitter and then a guard dragged his body bag to the doorway of the sauna and left it there. This rendered it impossible to kill anyone by raising the temperature in there since the door couldn’t close… guess it was unlucky timing. Nothing a headshot couldn’t fix!

Anyway, this was certainly a quirky elusive target. I like how they redid the level and had blood splattered on walls, garbages knocked over, and the whole facility in somewhat disarray. It also felt weird (yet cool) to wander around the facility as an employee. 47 was just himself. Holding his gun in the open was legal :open_mouth:

Random thought: What if they had one of the ICA agents we kill in Berlin as the guy we walk around with? Like Davenport or something? That might make sense, given the timeline they implied here.

Very fun ET. A lot of different possibilities. Here’s my take. Not really optimized or anything. Just having some fun with this mission.

A bit more optimization in the arcade and I’m down to 5 minutes. Recorded it but I already know I can do around 4. Can’t record it sadly because I got “spotted”. Some bugs may have been expected. I’ll try and do an optimized run when the cooldown is over.

IO forgot to add JCVD to the credits.

@Combatglue Just in case this wasn’t a request by JCVD to remain uncredited.
