Available for about a month, eliminating the target with a Silent Assassin rating is quite complicated. Hitman\u2019s Elusive Target missions are challenging contracts that require you to eliminate a target during a short limited time window. You can only play the contract once, and can\u2019t restart whether you die or succeed. So it\u2019s a real test of your skill. The Drop is the latest Elusive Target to hit the game, coming back from Year 3. But attaining a Silent Assassin rating is no easy feat. When is The Drop available? The Drop will be available to play between September 12th and October 14th. He is available in the Berlin location, which is available during this period for free for all players as part of the Free Starter Pack. For owners of The Drop DLC, you can replay the target as many times as you want in the Elusive Target Arcade. Otherwise, you\u2019ll only get one chance to play the regular version which can\u2019t be played again after succeeding or failing. Best loadout To play The Drop Elusive Target, access the mission from the Live tab on the main menu. After viewing the briefing, you\u2019ll get to choose your loadout. For this mission, we highly recommend you reach at least Mastery Level 18 in Berlin. This will allow you to select a Lethal Poison vial for your equipment and the Biker Hangout starting location, making this mission far easier. For your loadout, equip one of your gear slots with a Lethal Poison Vial and the other with an item you can use to distract NPCs, such as a coin. For your weapon, bring any pistol to choose cameras. You don\u2019t need to bring anything in the smuggled item slot. Your starting location should be the Biker Hangout with the Biker disguise, as this disguise will give you access to the out-of-bounds areas that a starting suit doesn\u2019t normally grant. Now you\u2019re ready to start the mission. Get the vodka bottle Remember that failing the mission by dying will not allow you to restart it if you\u2019re not playing the Elusive Target Arcade variant of this mission. You are free to start over though at any point up to killing the target. While there are several methods to kill The Drop \u2013 otherwise known as Alexios Laskaridis \u2013 the easiest way is to poison him with a bottle of vodka. Once you begin the level, you\u2019ll be sat in a chair with a group of other bikers. Stand up and head out of the room behind you. Watch out for the camera that is guarding this room, and shoot it out if you need to. Head through the room to the far side of the biker hangout and turn left into a giant stairwell. Head down these stairs all the way to the bottom, and you\u2019ll enter a long hallway with a guard positioned at the end of it. This guard is an enforcer, which you can tell by the large white dot positioned above his head. You won\u2019t be able to walk past this guy without him spotting you, so throw a coin just ahead of him in front of the bar and let him investigate. Once he\u2019s moved away from the door, head out and to the left towards a room with another set of stairs. Head down here past the barrier that says Security Area to the bottom floor. Once you\u2019re here, go straight ahead into the DJ Booth and find a table with drinks and snacks on it. Pick up the Vodka Bottle. Poison kill Continue on through the room and head into another backstage area called the Pipe Room. You\u2019ll notice a new staircase that heads upwards. Ascend the stairs and keep running straight on past the tech staff. Eventually, you\u2019ll reach a door that leads to the Projection Bar. On the back area of the Projection Bar is a laptop you can tamper with. It\u2019ll cause a bartender to investigate. Hide out of sight and subdue him once he\u2019s got his back to you. Hide the body in the nearby crate and take the disguise. Now you can head round to the front of the bar and place the Vodka Bottle down on the surface. Interact with it again to start serving vodka. You\u2019ll then be able to poison the bottle with your Lethal Poison Vial. Now it\u2019s just a matter of waiting for The Drop to arrive at the bar. Make sure you don\u2019t serve any other customers before then, otherwise, they will drink the poison. When the target approaches, you\u2019ll see him complaining about the lack of vodka at the bar. Look at him and activate the prompt to serve him the poisoned vodka. He\u2019ll come over and take a swig, and then he\u2019ll keel over and die not long after. Best escape route Once this is done you\u2019re free to leave the mission area via any available escape route. The closest one is by leaving the Projection Bar from the back, going through the Pipe Room, and down the stairs near the DJ Booth. If you change back into the Biker disguise you\u2019ll also be able to walk through here without trespassing. There\u2019s a double door just here which will let you escape and end the mission. That\u2019s the best way we\u2019ve found to kill The Drop.
