@@jjef8706 It's an inside joke within the Atrioc community. Well, and Linkus' and Aspecticore's communities. They love to overexplain what it is every time, regardless of whether anyone on the discord call, in twitch chat, or on youtube needs it.
When the glass turned clear and you saw the 6 clones and then the map revealed 13 clones! dude i lost it! this is the coolest mission ever. I love that IOI is doing celebrity crossovers like this! Sean bean before this and now Jean Claude? amazing! Amazing runs, all three of you!
This has to be my favourite elusive target I've ever done, usually I just play them for rewards but this blew me away. that moment when the lights turn on blew my mind I got so excited.
Yeah, I feel like this one would be very nice to have around. I know it breaks the philosophy of elusive targets, but having it full time would be better imo as there’s a lot of creativity to be had here
Actually sick edit from Erik here. The fact the three players progress is understandable whilst still preserving an understandable flow of the big ass levels info is amazing. Great video
I disagree this was the worst edited video of elusive target so far, yes you can kind of understand? But there is so many cuts for no reason I rather the video be slightly longer than having no context or body, nobody even got to explain they're just revealing what they had so far with no real finish here apart from Linkus. This is pure slop, I don't know what you're smoking.
so sick that ioi sees how genuinely passionate yall are & they are acknowledging the value that all your hitman passion projects brings to the community
This was a perfect elusive target. I don't know if they all use the arcade to allow for practice runs but the way that this one did it was incredible. I spent hours running the arcade mode one trying to get SA/SO and it was such a rush when i got it in the real one. For a free event, this was an incredible amount of content
I'm guessing the version IOI gave them allows them to replay it. Once all the clones are revealed and marked as targets, you can't exit without failing (even in the arcade), and they did some restarts after that point.
@@logarhythmic6859 idk if there's a similar cheese on pc but at on xbox if i ever lose SA on an elusive target then i immediately pause and force quit the game and it allows me to restart immediately, sometimes works on mission fails too but its iffy
Atrioc please, I hope you never stop making Hitman content with your amazing friends. I still regularly rewatch old hitman horses that I've seen 5 times already. In fact I bought the game because of you. Just, whenever I'm bored and I've refreshed the youtube homepage 3 times scanning for something to watch and a 3 year old atrioc hitman video pops up, you know I click it and watch/rewatch the whole thing.
Atrioc said IOI wanted to sponsor one of the Hitman competitions he's hosted, so if he does another I think it'd be incredible if IO helped make the contract with Atrioc to make something more like this elusive target. A redesigned map with a bit of a narrative included for a single competition would be pretty cool.
Seeing the clones lined up 1 to 6 and having Diana say "I'm authorizing additional targets" is cool because you know 6 targets is beyond the normal maximum for a contract and here you'll have only one attempt. But then your screen starts lighting up in places the clones are not and a double-digit number for clones remaining appears and you're freaking out but everyone is still talking normally in their Jean Claude van Damme accents like "look! I clon-éd a human! :-)" and you realize you still only have one shot to take out SO many targets that you haven't even really counted them yet... It's one of the most breathtaking reveals in video games. So cool. I love video games man.
I think this is a hint towards the kind of gameplay loop the 007 game will have to differentiate itself from the hitman series. High quantity of targets, simple dialogue system, less disguises available than average, etc.
007 is the pinnacle of suit only. I don't think disguises will factor too much in 007. Disguises are rare, obvious tactical gear uncommon, but both usually stripped away so he can get back to his suit. My guess & hope for 007 is a more involved game play than what this contract incorporated. "Kill this guy.....oh wait there's 12 more objectives". It'd be awesome if choices & actions of 007 in early missions have a major effect on future ones. I'd still play it but it would be a big disappointment if 007 is just a slightly tweaked Hitman.
@@hunterfisher5577 yeah that's what I was trying to say in regards to disguises. I could imagine maybe needing to dress up as a generic guard to infiltrate, or going from combat gear to a suit to gamble, but not impersonating someone specific like 47 does.
I came back to hitman after a bit of a hiatus to this elusive target. It blew me away how fun and involved it was that I didn't even think about doing a silent assassin run. I honestly didn't expect them to put this much effort into the target.
Imagine they added Steven Seagal and he had literally superpowers, like catching bullets and shit and the only way to kill him is to make him stand up from his office chair that he rolls around throughout the whole mission.
Imagine if instead of Max Valiant's clones, you were shooting Germans in Normandy, 1944 and unstead of Agent 47 you are Private Martin from Call of Duty in the first minute of the Codathon. That would be pretty cool I think.
26:55 I like how they’re saying that’s so clever when in reality he doesn’t even have to blow them up, since they will literally just let him kill the clone.
Modern Hitman is amazing, between the continuing support from IOI and what streamers are doing to keep the game interesting, it truly is the golden age of 47.
what a banger of a video, great job Erik and ofc the gang for doing a banger offline vid which I think I remember Atrioc saying he finds difficult and wants to improve at, which from this vid id say is such a good improvement and such great flow and personability even with no chat.
This was such a cool mission. That reveal of 13 clones is just...*chef's kiss*. My only complaint is that it should have been harder. Would have taken it from B+/A tier to A+ tier. Obviously not talking from a speedrunner's perspective lol. Hard enough for you guys.
Were you all able to restart the elusive target after starting due to it being early access or are there different rules for this one due to the insanity of the contract?
Lets gooo more Hitman videos, I hope you keep making more videos on the game and Hitman HORSE, they are really fun to watch Btw this elusive was so much fun, if they make more of these "story" elusives i will be super happy, I would also love for them to give tools for us to modify existing maps like they did here with the ICA facility.
This contract oozes creativity and fun. Whoever in the creative meeting suggested clones, and then got everybody to run with that concept to its fullest potential needs a raise.
My favorite quote from Jean Claude Van Damme in an interview is "I love water, in 20 30 years there won’t be any left" in French of course 😂 (we’re getting close to it being 20 years ago too.. 😬😂)
Hi there! This contract is awesome, I really liked this one. And the moment when you realise that you've done nothing, but you have no second chance because targets update takes your restart, was so scary. And if this seems hard, the fact that second arcade requires NO disguise change, and you should NEVER be spotted (basically SA/SO) is sick. I really enjoyed this ET and I really look forward to the next one. ALSO, I'M OPEN TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW WHAT ELUSIVE TARGET MEANS! (Gonna be a helper for a big A on that))) And remember: Nobody should know...
Really loving these more intricate elusive targets with the celebrity tie-ins. Even Conor McGregor 's was unique despite the controversies. Hopefully we'll see even more of these elusive Target stories with even more celebrity cameos
This was a really fun elusive target, and the added complication of having to do it SASO was a fun added challenge I was proud I managed to pull off on my first try.
For those that haven't tried this Elusive Target yet, you can't restart once you've killed any target. Also, the moment where it's revealed The Splitter has clones, the game also locks you out of restarting. I'm assuming they had a special version of the game that didn't lock them out.
Imagine if instead of targets you shot bloons and instead of hitmen you had monkeys. That would be pretty cool i think
And instead of Agent 47, his name was Quincy. That would be awesome
@@jakko_i wonder what his father's name would be
Atrioc should get on this, maybe do some sort of marathon, what do you think? 🤔
I don't know about the marathon, there would be a lot of balloons popping
@cauazion1551 like some sort of...poppathon
That was actually such a sick Contract.
Now, if only I knew what an Elusive Target was…
Target not a part of the base game, where a mission is repurposed with some new characters and sometimes level changes for a temporary event.
An elusive target is a target in hitman. Except you only have one chance to escape after killing them.

I love this because everyone actually seems excited to play this early, none of the reactions feel fake or forced like most sponsorships
Yeah it felt like atrioc actually wanted to play this

they love hitman
That's because they love Hitman. If you haven't, watch their previous videos. They're terrific!
It’s nice cause this is a game they all actually enjoy playing and want to be better than each other at

@@xenaisu grow a brain so you can keep up buddy it’s all in the video
1:40 so sick that the mission name is “the splitter”, cause the cutscene makes you think it’s just because he does the splits a lot.
I never made the connection until you pointed that out
OMG its because of the clones! not because he does the split, i mean its both, i didnt see it till you mention
Even the MEANING is split.
so sick that ioi sees how genuinely passionate yall are & they are acknowledging the value that all your hitman passion projects brings to the community
Huh I'm suprised we got this before the hitman competition vid. Im eagerly awaiting it.

IOI: Elusive Target? No, we're making an entirely new level this time.
That 13 clone reveal is amazing. You think there are just 5 more targets and then the realization of how many more there are everywhere is awesome.
Imagine they added Steven Seagal and he had literally superpowers, like catching bullets and shit and the only way to kill him is to make him stand up from his office chair that he rolls around throughout the whole mission.
Mission is to show his face in full lighting instead of shadows to hide the chins
MEGA FINAL JCVD
It would be really funny if a variant of this mission released where everyone in the facility is a clone and everyone is a target.
That'd be hilarious 😂😂

Great video Big A, but I’m confused what’s an elusive target? You didn’t explain it in your intro
talked to chat during an offline run ICANT

It’s a faster way to open the door

From a Teardown video to a Hitman one, I'm glad my 2 favorite series of yours got a new video
0:00 atrioc starts talking
Ah so that's when we have to skip

This has to be one of my favorite contracts I've watched you guys do. Would be cool to see a followup with improved times
I adore how excited you guys are for this mission and how cool you think everyone else’s runs are. It’s so good.
Really cool for Atrioc to get an exclusivity clause with a developer.
Did you see they actually made Luigi Mangioni Hitman level
Ain't no way
If Luigi had done an accident kill he would have gotten away with it
Proof?
The hitman content with this trio is always 10/10. Great vid
GENUINELY NOTHING BETTER THAN A NEW HITMAN VID BEFORE BED. THANK YOU BIG A!!!
That was awesome, especially seeing how hyped you all were
Oh this was great, funny and entertaining as always with the Hitman videos of y'all. 👌

what a fun looking elusive target and some fun runs there!
I love how nobody found out that the Clones are fragile (meaning wherever you shoot them, they instantly die like Fake NPCs or Headshots)
I played this religiously and really enjoyed getting silent assasin while knocking out every single NPC in the lab on all floors.

Hell yeah, i was awaiting this Video as soon as I played the Elusive Target, it was the vest mission ever
And SASO is also not too difficult
Thanks for posting, Atrioc!
