It's a straightforward assignment, 47. This article is a stub and is in need of expansion. You can help the Hitman Wiki by expanding it. |
The Drop is the eighth Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ III, and the forty-first overall, and tasks you with eliminating Alexios Laskaridis.
This mission appears to take place sometime after 47 and Diana begin operating as Freelance operatives as the Club has undergone a full rebrand and refurbishment, indicating some time has passed since 47 last visited its location. The contract is also not marked as a ICA sanctioned target, indicating this is a Freelance contract.
The Drop[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good evening, 47. Your target is Alexios Laskaridis, known as "The Drop". The nickname has shifted in meaning over time. He initially established himself in the techno scene as a DJ, but realized it would be easier -- and lucrative -- to exploit his connections as a drug kingpin instead. His empire of music venues has become inextricable from his trafficking network. Both arose almost overnight, thanks to his appetite for violence. Laskaridis' methods are nearly too brutal to recount in full. Bloody suitcases, limbs washing up on riverbanks... I'll leave it at that. Our client is a successful DJ who's understandably nervous about Laskaridis' expansion. They want to preserve their music scene just as much as they want to avoid ending up under the man's thumb. Fortunately, Laskaridis currently has his sights set on a familiar property in Berlin. Good luck."

Achievement[]
There are several ways to eliminate Alexios silently, but the most straightforward is to poison his favorite vodka. Acquire the bartender disguise either from the lockers in the outdoor bar or by stealing one from the juice bar crew. The vodka is on the shelf behind the second bar on the lower level. Begin serving drinks and await Alexios' arrival.
If poisoned with an emetic, he will proceed to a balcony immediately next to the bar to vomit in a trash can, behind some barriers. The section will be put off-limits by his bodyguard, but he can be circumvented relatively easily by scaling the adjacent balcony section in the backstage area. Alexios can be eliminated here unseen, either hidden in the trunk or dumped over the railing. Alternatively, the player can simply beat him there. Once he takes the drink you can move to the area where he will vomit before his bodyguard posts up and eliminate him without issue. However, his bodyguard is strangely quick to investigate the area so disposing of Alexios and leaving the area by climbing the railing and moving to the other balcony quickly is paramount.
Trivia[]
- As seen below, there are posters displayed around Club Hölle in Berlin that foreshadow the arrival of this Elusive Target, added in the August 2023 update, replacing the "Club Hölle Ostern: 30.03" posters.
- During the mission briefing, Diana Burnwood refers to the Club, where Alexios Laskaridis is residing, as a ‘familiar location’ in Berlin. The Club has also undergone a full rebrand and refurbishment since 47 had encounters with the ICA at the location. This strongly indicates this mission takes place sometime after HITMAN™ III, which means this one of 47 and Diana’s earlier Freelance contracts.
- It is likely that Rolf Hirschmüller rebranded and renamed the Club sometime after 47’s encounter with the ICA in Berlin.
- Rolf Hirschmüller spends his time downstairs in his office ranting about Alexios and considering using violence against him.
- If 47 subdues Rolf Hirschmüller and wears his disguise, Alexios Laskaridis will begin communicating with 47 (thinking he’s Rolf) trying to negotiate the sale of the Club.
