The CICADA Bodyguard outfit is worn by the bodyguards at Palais de Walewska, on the mission The Showstopper. Being a high-tier disguise, CICADA bodyguards are given full access to the entire palace (aside from the runway). They have set up their command post in the attic storage area for the duration of the fashion show.
Description[]
The CICADA bodyguard uniform consists of a black suit, a black shirt, a purple tie with silk pocket square and a diamond lapel pin. This outfit is a high-tier disguise, as CICADA bodyguards maintain full access to the entire palace, including the gardens, the attic and entire second floor where the auction is, the helicopter landing zone behind the palace, and the boat pier at the very rear of the map by the river. These are all locations that standard Security Guards cannot access. The only place CICADA bodyguards cannot access is the catwalk on the ground floor where fashion models are walking.
As you get closer to Dalia Margolis on the second floor, the amount of enforcers increases. Notably, the stairs to the second floor where the auction runs are both guarded by two CICADA bodyguards each, one of them being an enforcer. You must either lure them away with a coin, or hop out the adjacent or nearby windows - avoid doing it in front of the guards as you will likely be spotted. Then scale around the building and up some pipes. On the second floor (auction floor), there is an increased amount of enforcers, especially in the attic. The same applies to the runway and gardens.

Trivia[]
- Viktor Novikov will always see through this disguise. Likewise, his personal bodyguard, Kurt Donovan , will also see through your disguise.
- Initially, the generic Bodyguard disguises in World of Tomorrow and A Gilded Cage looked identical to the CICADA Bodyguard outfit. They were eventually updated to look different.
- Like security guards, CICADA Bodyguards sometimes assert superiority and act condescending towards other staff, especially towards waiters.
- If 47 disguised as a Palace Staff or Auction Staff, walks past a CICADA Bodyguard or Security Guard, they may make condescending comments such as, "Waiting tables like your life depends on it. Good job." or "Those tables won't wait themselves."
- However, CICADA Bodyguards will remain respectful to visitors and the non-staff citizens. For example, if 47 bumps into a CICADA Bodyguard, they will apologies. Likewise, if 47 disguised as a CICADA Bodyguard bumps into other staff or people, the latter will apologies. They will also treat high-profile attendees such as Helmut Krueger and theSheikh with deference.
- The CICADA Bodyguard is one of four disguises from a different map to appear in an Elusive Target for a separate map, appearing in The Politician. The others being Salvatore Bravuomo, the Military Officer and the Military Soldier.
