The Wild Card is the seventh Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ and tasks you with eliminating Gary Busey.
The Wildcard[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good afternoon, 47. Your target is Hollywood legend, and infamous loose canon, Gary Busey, codename, The Wild Card.
He is in Sapienza to film an advertisement but is now refusing to participate. The following audio was captured as he fled the set: "You'll never find me, I have the power of invisibility!" This fiasco has cost the client millions and they have decided to terminate their relationship with the target, permanently. Complicating matter is the presence of an angry co-star, Gary Cole, however, he may lead you straight to your target. This is an odd one, but nothing you've not handled before.
The clock is ticking, 47. Good Luck."

Trivia[]
- Before the contract was released, Io-Interactive held a poll where the community had to choose either one of the two Garys as the elusive target.
- The Wildcard is the only elusive target to never be reactivated. This is due to Square Enix not being able to renew their contract when the GOTY and Definitive Editions were released the next year.
