Hitman 2: 2 Ways to Play Elusive Target THE STOWAWAY (Mike Attempts Stealth, Dozens Die)

Hitman 2 returns to the channel with elusive target The Stowaway! The Stowaway is a reactivated Elusive Target mission: a muckraking tabloid journalist named Jimmy Chen currently trying to infiltrate the Ark Society on the remote Isle of Sgail. Now look, Jimmy: if anyone's going to be infiltrating secret societies, changing outfits and causing havoc, it's going to be us. See how Mike and Andy get on in this Hitman 2 gameplay (Jane was on a murder vacation) and subscribe for more from Outside Xbox!

Three phases of Mike: 1) "Normal" (Very unstable, spontaneously decays to Phase 2 with half-life of a couple minutes at most.) 2) "Combat" (Rapid entropy increase through detonating explosives and igniting projectile propellants.) 3 "Desolate" (Maximum entropy reached, everyone dead.

I'm suddenly thinking back to that Show of the Weekend intro where Ellen tried to teach Mike stealth, and feeling exceedingly grateful that there weren't any exploding barrels in the corridor they were using.

Y'know, as much as Mike,well....Mike'd things up in his run, he did actually get to see more of the target's routine than Andy.

[@narcspector]

I know, it's interesting right? It's like somehow Andy messed up his routine by preventing him from going in that closet and changing into the higher-up guard, but then he still managed to change though right? It's hard to tell the way they edit it, but yeah Mike was actually doing "better", up until the point where he said "I have a flawless plan! I'm gonna close these doors, and clear out this entire room." Always his famous last words before he Mikes up the entire mission 😂

[@marhawkman303]

If you look at the playtime in the end mission Mike's was over 37m so he must have spent a lot of time following the target.

[@hush-615]

Nobody experiences Hitman better than Mike lol

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

@@marhawkman303 Yeah, Andy's playtime is usually half or less Mike's and Jane's I think, which just makes it all the more impressive how sneaky he is in comparison. (Like, they often describe his playstyle as "patient" and therefore stealthy. But going by the mission times, it looks like he's more lightning fast and deadly accurate.)

[@marhawkman303]

@@neolexiousneolexian6079 In one of the livestreams, Andy admits that he save scums when he can. So at least some of them time the end time is less than the actual play time. In Elusive targets you can do that up until you either die or complete an objective.

[@oftenspanx]

Am I the only one who feels so proud of the effort Mike put into actuslly remaining stealthy, and was genuinely sad when he recieved no stars for it?

[@0hgre]

he was doing pretty well, too. he's just not into looking around before engaging, i guess.

I like the fact that he actually saw Jimmy Chen changing disguises, at least. That's the big twist of the mission and I'm a little sad that Andy didn't see it.
