It’s been some time since we’ve had an old-fashioned Elusive Target, and this one is both old and new: Old in the sense that it is a target from the 2016 Hitman game, and new in the sense that I had missed it back in the day because I wasn’t playing the Elusive Targets at the time.
So let’s take him out.

It’s difficult to overstate just how profoundly embarrassing that attempt was from start to finish. “They wouldn’t put the safe in Margolis’s room,” I said without putting any further thought into it. That one baseless assumption must have wasted at least a solid 30 minutes of time. And then to follow that up, one the run where I went for the kill is the same one where I forgot to grab my poison from my stash. Just a ton of failures all at once.
And yet, that’s part of Hitman. We can’t always complete the perfect or even a competent kill. That’s just how it be sometimes.
