Briefing

---

"Among those in the know, Vito Đurić is a celebrity. He is a charismatic arms dealer and sanction buster with the reputation of being able to acquire anything for anyone. The ICA notes his involvement in almost every covert conflict of the past decade.

The target has been the subject of an international arrest order for the past five years but has avoided or escaped arrest thanks to the support of his clients. It seems likely that he is considered useful by various intelligence agencies and thus enjoys a measure of protection from international justice. Such protection does not apply to the attentions of the ICA, however. The contract indicates that the target will be in Marrakesh as part of an arms deal supplying Reza Zaydan's forces in connection with a planned coup."

― In-Game Briefing

Description and Behavior

Vito Đurić starts in the eastern wing of the Swedish Consulate parking lot. He introduces himself to a group of soldiers before beginning the arms deal. He is also known for having a playful and knowledgeable approach to his deals, making casual remarks alongside astute descriptions about his weapons.

When in close proximity to Vito, Diana will tell 47 that one of his three bodyguards is an undercover Interpol agent. This agent will suspiciously question him on how he acquired his guns. He will also receive a phone call about the agent, annoying him.

During a Target Lockdown, Vito will evacuate through the underground escape route, and will stay in the area where the APC Turret manual is located.

Trivia

• It is observed that Vito Đurić seems to be connected to Xander Haverfoek, considering they are both involved in a diamond conflict in Zimbabwe.
• Vito's intel picture shows an earlier design of the Elite Soldier uniform with a combat helmet instead of a beret. This design is also present in the briefing for A Gilded Cage.
• During the game, he is able to see through the Bodyguard disguise.
• His assassination was contracted by Kronstadt Industries, likely for being competition in the gunrunning business and for selling one of their combat drones in 2015.
• Crystal Dawn was a former client of the target.
• Vito's mission revolves around him helping in the evacuation Claus Hugo Strandberg, which is unlikely as Strandberg was killed on the day he was broken free. This would require his contract to take place directly before or during the elimination of Strandberg and Reza Zaydan.
• He is also mentioned multiple times in the unused Elusive Target mission The Brothers.
