The Drop Elusive Target Silent Assassin guide – Destructoid
The Drop is an Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination that was permanently added to the game with the addition of The Drop Pack. However, it doesn’t matter how many times you try the mission; you need to know what you’re doing to get that Silent Assassin rating.
In The Drop Elusive Target mission in Hitman World of Assassination, you must assassinate Alexios Laskardis. He’s been buying up clubs and dealing drugs out of them, creating an empire, but club owners don’t want him around to threaten them anymore. Taking him out with a Silent Assassin rating requires timing and precision, which is why I’ve included all the details for you to use below.
Hitman World of Assassination: The Drop Elusive Target Silent Assassin guide
I’ve outlined the route you should take for your Silent Assassin run in The Drop in Hitman World of Assassination in easy-to-follow steps below. Note that since this is an Elusive Target, you’ll have to complete it in one go or risk missing out on it entirely. If you fail and don’t own the DLC, you’ll need to wait for it to return oin the future. If you own the DLC, the mission will reset after a day or so, so you can attempt again.
I picked the Club Entrance starting location for this mission. The only item you must bring with you is a lethal syringe or silenced pistol to kill the target. You don’t need anything else.
Step 1: Get the owner’s disguise
From the club entrance, run down into the basement. Keep going down the stairs until you’re in the room where everyone is dancing. In the right-hand corner, the back of this room is a door for crew only. It’s unlocked, so you can enter it without a key, but you’ll be spotted if you don’t move out of sight quickly. Open it, rush inside, and head left to the side of the DJ booth to avoid being spotted. See below for a map reference.
You need to climb a ladder on the side of the DJ booth. Once you’re on the roof, climb onto the air duct that runs around this section of the club and head right. You need to go through the hole in the wall, so you’re above some crates to the side of a big set of doors with a camera above them.
Hop down to the floor and wait for the camera to look in the opposite direction. You can sneak under its view and go through the doors. See above for a map reference for exactly where they are in the club. Go inside and follow the corridor around to the left. Hide among the junk in the back corner by the gramophone. This item is really important, so look out for it and the cupboard next to it.
Hide as I am in the screenshot above. You need to turn on the gramophone long enough to distract the club owner into coming over. Once he’s distracted, turn it off so that no one else comes over. When he approaches, subdue him and hide his body in the cupboard before taking his disguise.
With this outfit, you can head back up to the club to meet the target. They’ll be on the walkway above the basement. In this disguise, you can walk up to him and interact with him to head to a secluded area to chat. See above for a map reference for roughly where to locate him.
The target will take you to a private bar and chat with you. Hit the button to continue the first part of the conversation because it causes the target to clear the room of any guards and witnesses. This is your chance to kill him. Use whatever you have, such as a silenced pistol, to take him out. It doesn’t matter if he spots you because he’s the target.
I recommend using either a sedative or lethal syringe because they’re untraceable. If you put the target to sleep, you can then drop him over the edge of the balcony to his death, and everyone will think it’s an accident.
From there, all you need to do is find an exit. There’s one just downstairs from this secret bar. Head left from the sofas and down the concrete stairs to the door that leads outside. It’ll count as an exit, and you’ll secure your Silent Assassin run.
Once you’ve completed the mission, you’ll be rewarded with The Greek Fire Suit. Agent 47 can wear this in any mission in the game, so equip it if you want to look like a stylish club owner who will do anything for success in future Elusive Targets.
