Hitman 2 Elusive Target #1 Now Available

The folks over at WB have released the first Elusive Target mission in Hitman 2. Of course, given the news about this over the past few weeks, fans should already know that it stars actor Sean Bean as former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin, Mark Faba. Notoriously known as “The Undying,” Faba’s reputation as a master of faking his own death is second to none, ultimately causing the International Contract Agency (ICA) to put an imposing bounty on his head.

In this Elusive Target mission, entitled The Undying, players have one chance to finally take out Faba, who has been hired by Robert Knox to complete an assassination contract that requires his expert surveillance, infiltration and demolition skills. And if anyone can take him down for the last time, it’s Agent 47.

For the uninitiated, elusive Targets are unique, high-stakes contracts that are only available for a limited time. These missions are FREE for all Hitman 2 owners, allowing one chance to assassinate the target and if not successfully completed, the contract cannot be retried.

You can check out the mission briefing below for Mission #1:

Elusive Target No. 1 is available now through Dec. 4, therefore players only have one chance to successfully take out The Undying during this 14-day period. By participating in the Elusive Target mission, gamers will complete the Explosive Penmanship challenge and unlock the new, fan-selected Explosive Pen weapon to their inventory. Additionally, players will begin unlocking suits for Agent 47 by playing and completing Elusive Target challenges.
