The Brothers DEFINITIVE Edition

The Brothers: Definitive Edition

You may have heard of The Brothers - Renzo and Orlando Caruso - a cut Elusive Target from Season 1 set at night time Marrakesh. A mod restores them in Hitman 2, and one briefly did in H3 before IO went out of their way to make it hard to restore.

Well, for the first time on Nexus and SMF since IO put this content on their deletion lists, they're back! And they're better than ever!

What enhancements have you made?

- The secondary objective Diana mentions in the briefing now actually exists as an optional objective: Uncover why the Delgado Cartel is in Marrakesh. To complete it you must uncover two pieces of information (there are at least three to choose from)

- It is now a Special Assignment, meaning it supports saving and difficulties (and VR, though that's untested)

- The story of this ET/Special Assignment is about the Delgado Cartel (who The Brothers work for) being in Marrakesh; to reflect this, the Delgado Cartel is now in Marrakesh, instead of Silvio's goons. It's likely this is what IO would have preferred, but it was made in Season 1 before they had created the Delgado Cartel NPCs and voices

- Updated target pics, the original ones looked a bit shit

- This Marrakesh mission uses soundtrack with a bit more of a Middle Eastern feel to it, instead of Sapienza's music

- You can use the default daytime Marrakesh spawn to save you running so far to get to the targets each time you play

- Changed the targets voices to not be default Americans

- Due to a side effect of allowing night Marrakesh to display Special Assignments, AHBOS itself had to be re-done to display properly as a bonus mission. I decided to add in difficulties and VR while I was there.

Where do I access it?

In offline mode on the Marrakesh screen, or in Peacock on the Elusive Targets screen. Please note that as of writing this, the Peacock version does not support some of the improvements made by me (Secondary Objective, Difficulties, VR)

How do I install it?

It's an SMF mod, you should probably know by now. If you don't, go to the SMF page where it explains how to install SMF mods.

Future Updates?

Currently there's an issue where the targets hair is too black (formerly it was light grey, which was even worse). This will hopefully be fixed at a future date.

If enough people complain they don't like my changes (Delgado Cartel, target voices and music change) I could work on a "Vanilla" option

Known Issues

- If text isn't displaying properly (particularly the secondary objective), then delete the "Cache" folder in SMF and deploy again.

- Possible issues with Russian and Japanese language. Russian should definitely be fixed, haven't confirmed Japenese.
