The Last Yardbird is the first Sniper Assassin mission in HITMAN™ 2.
Description[]
Agent 47 and his fellow snipers Knight and Stone, have been contracted to eliminate three members of the Yardbirds, a notorious band of thieves.
The Yardbirds were a group famous for their daring, big money heists. However, the group were forced to disband when a heist at a Las Vegas casino incurred the wrath of the local Mafia. They hid the stolen money and went their separate ways, with the promise that the last surviving member would inherit everything. Now several years later, Dorian Lang has invited two of the members, Guillaume Maison and Doris Lee, to his daughter's wedding, in the hopes of convincing them to sharing the hidden loot between them. Unknown to them, Aleksander Kovak, the leader of the Yardbirds, is determined to claim the fortune for himself. To this end, he has contracted the ICA to dispose of his former colleagues.
From a vantage point overlooking Maison's mansion home, the snipers must eliminate the three targets, along with their bodyguards.
Objectives[]
- Eliminate Dorian Lang
- Eliminate Guillaume Maison
- Eliminate Doris Lee
- Eliminate Bodyguards
Mission Briefing[]
Single Player[]
The group retired and all members vanished from sight until Kalvin Ritter, The Sparrow, was found dead on his yacht, but the remaining members remained elusive. The group never gathers in one place, but today is a special occasion--the wedding of Elizabeth Lang is taking place at the palatial home of Guillaume Maison, with Doris Lee as a special guest.
Our client is Aleksander Kovak, the founder of the Yardbirds. He has stipulated that all three targets and their bodyguards must be eliminated at this event. Should any of the Yardbirds escape, the contract is invalidated.
Looks like Kovak is making his final bid for the lost millions. Good luck!"
MISSION ACTIVECo-Op[]
Stone (VO): "That's the one in the front page, yeah, but it was hardly the only job they'd pulled. Diamond dealers, banks, you name it. But the casino, that was the turning point for the group."
Knight (VO): "Stealing money from organize crime is a life-changing career choice. Any truth to those secret pact conspiracy theory? Wait until the thing to blow over, last man standing gets the millions or something like that."
Stone (VO): "That's the files says. After the heist, the group disappeared from the world. Kalvin Ritter, the Sparrow, found dead in his yacht in '98. The rest simply vanished."
Knight (VO): "Fast forward couple decades later and now we're at the Maison's Austrian mansion, about to shoot up a wedding of Lang's daughter. I'm assuming the owners finally caught up to them."
Stone (VO): "Actually, no. Turns out Yardbird founder Aleksander Kovak grew tired of waiting for the money, so he put out a contract on the rest of the crew. No Yardbird leaves the wedding alive. And he wants the bodyguards dead for good measure as well."
Knight (VO): "Sounds to me like he's just upset about not getting invited to the wedding... Well, let's get to it."
