NEW CONTENT
Elusive Target: The Disruptor
The Disruptor our brand-new Celebrity Elusive Target. MMA fighter and multi-millionaire, The Disruptor’s background is shrouded in mystery. It seemed like he came out of nowhere and quickly dominated the scene. He himself was particularly guarded about his past and his real identity, turning either to violent outbursts or intensely guarded when confronted about it. Will you be able to take him down?
Free Starter Pack players will have a chance to experience the Disruptor mission in The Ostentasious - a Two-level Arcade contract featuring The Disruptor Elusive Target, available for free to everyone. In this game mode, players will be tasked with multiple escalating missions, upon failure, progress will restart from the first level and the contract will be locked for 12 hours until the player can attempt to play the contract again. The original ‘one chance only’ Elusive Target will only be available to World of Assassination players.
