Except in practice this change makes the mode '''very''' linear to play (in a difficulty already designed to mandate Silent Assassin behaviour) as openly carrying custom weapons (which is to say, just about anything the other guards aren't carrying) is now more annoying and makes picking weapons to bring in rather pointless, and neither can the player hold certain melee items, which just slowed the game down, and wasn't well liked by players either.

The problem is that the explosion physics are fickle and depend on getting the right angle, making it difficult to launch Yulduz onto the canopy.

** "The Food Critic"'s Wen Ts'ai is probably the most wasted potential for an Elusive Target in ''2016''. His bio and briefing goes to great lengths to mention his overblown CausticCritic tendencies, who slams hotels and restaurants for trivial reasons, often causing them to shut down.

** "The Mercenary" in the Sarajevo Six campaign. Patrick, alongside his four bodyguards, see through every disguise on the map and will follow him around. They will also walk into areas if they see 47, making it a chore to subdue any of them before taking out Patrick.
** The final member of the Sarajevo Six, The Controller is actually quite easy to get to, [[spoiler: since he's also [[TheAtoner the client]] who is [[DeathSeeker waiting for 47 to kill him]].]] However, 47 must also reach the computer in the hospital director's office without being spotted at all. And that means ''at all''. Arousing even the slightest bit of suspicion will result in an instant [[NonStandardGameOver mission failure]] at even the slightest provocation. Oh, and there are no saves, manual or auto. [[EasyLevelTrick Fortunately, unlocking the disposable scrambler in Colorado and starting the mission disguised as a surgeon makes this mission a lot easier]], especially if you've mastered Hokkaido already and have the equipment slots unlocked.
** "The Fixer" elusive target is one that IOI loves to remind the playerbase that it's the target with the lowest success rate, solely because of the second objective where you must obtain the diamonds intended as payment. To elaborate, these diamonds can only be taken once the courier has taken it from one of two merchants on the map. Neither the courier nor the merchant can be harmed before then, otherwise it's a NonstandardGameOver. While you are warned for the courier, there's no warning regarding the merchants (who appear on the map outside this mission, so they're often assumed as not mission-critical), and you can't get the diamonds off the bodies of the merchants because they, for some reason, don't have them in their inventories until they give it to the courier. And remember, this is an [[PermanentlyMissableContent elusive target]].
*** The target himself is nothing to scoff at, too. He meets the courier in the very public Shisha Den of Marrakesh, so there's hardly any way to eliminate him without drawing attention, unless you can engineer an accident. He can also only be eliminated after he signals the courier lest you fail the aforementioned second objective, which is also when he starts to leave the den, so you have a very tiny window of opportunity there. Failing that, and he remains in the heavily-guarded Consulate indefinitely, following the original target of the map there and never isolating himself.
** "The Bookkeeper" elusive target for Colorado is notably harder than "The Chameleon" due to its complexity. While "The Chameleon"'s Richard Foreman stays in the hacker den, and is relatively easy to kill, Pertti is surrounded by four bodyguards at all times, one of which can see through every disguise you can put on, and the kicker is that his route is completely randomized. His security detail and the randomized route make it difficult to lure him away or create an accident in advance when he won't go near where you want to anytime soon. Subduing any of his bodyguards will result in Pertti attempting to evacuate. If his car is destroyed to prevent this, he will either be taken to the basement (which Berg also hides in) or the northeastern room of the house (which contains two additional soldiers), and he will remain at the last place he visited.
** "The Ex-Dictator", the first Elusive Target mission to have two targets. Both targets mostly stay around the well-guarded second floor lounge. TheAllSeeingAI is in full effect - there's very little room to kill or hide the targets, and a vast majority of the guards and waiters are enforcers. Richard occasionally isolates himself where he can easily be killed, but Inez is always accompanied by her bodyguard when moving between the lounge and the hotel's west garden. Killing either target before they enter the hotel breaks both their routes and their bodyguards, as Richard no longer isolates himself and smokes inside the bar. IO Interactive is aware of the fandom's frustration with the level and has stated its intention to rarely re-run it.

** The Silent Assassin, Suit Only challenge for Club 27. Morgan is easy, since his food can be poisoned just a minute into the level. Jordan, on the other hand is surrounded by people, and ''never leaves the top floor'', meaning that you need to avoid '''dozens''' of guards, bellhops and crew members just to reach him. If you get caught by a camera, then you may as well restart, since the recordings are in a security room impossible to get to without an appropriate disguise that allows use of the all-access keycard. And that's on normal difficulty. On Professional Mode, It's even worse, as there's a person right next to the food plates that Morgan eats from, meaning you can't just poison him (though the balcony next to the the giant ceiling lights of the restaurant isn't guarded at all, so if you can get the timing down, it's an equally easy way to off him), but like on normal difficulty, getting to Jordan is still [[NintendoHard disproportionately hard]], not to mention that because cameras spot you and alert guards nearby on this mode, you have to actively take out cameras in order to succeed. And even if you do succeed, you are denied from using the easiest exit in the game; The Boat at the front of the hotel is guarded and requires a key, with the second exit nearby being overseen by three guards (one at the entrance, two near the exit itself) ''and'' a security camera, which is just unnecessary. Unlike Colorado, the Legacy pack did not change the level to make this challenge easier (the only change of note is making mirrors works properly, but they only exist in bathrooms on this map). In short, there really is no easy way to off Jordan in your suit.
** The Silent Assassin, Suit Only challenge for Freedom Fighters. Not only do you have to deal with four targets, instead of the usual two or three, all four of them are spread out across the map, and are constantly on the move. This is in a place where the entire compound counts as a hostile area in your suit, meaning you have to keep out of sight almost all the time. And while they do have relatively simple kills (Poison Ezra while he's in the basement; a tricky place to get to in the ''2016'' map iteration, Kill Parvati by shooting down a haybale, kill Sean with a chandelier in the main house, and Graves can be killed by luring her into the basement or when she isolates herself near the pointman's residence). This whole level takes the cake in difficulty, not to mention the forced exit you have in Story Mode.

Even the most die-hard haters of the level find the improvements pretty effective.
*** The "Slam Dunk" challenge for The Source requires creating an explosion that will launch Sister Yulduz into the canopy above the rooftop garden. The problem is that the explosion physics are fickle and depend on getting the right angle, making it difficult to launch Yulduz onto the canopy. It's also entirely possible for the canisters not to explode in-sync. The challenge's difficulty is likely why it was cut in ''VideoGame/Hitman3''.
** The Silent Assassin Suit Only challenge for Patient Zero. Neither of the targets are particularly easy to reach - Liebleid is located inside a room that can only be opened with a disposable scrambler, with the corridors leading to said room being guarded. Similarly, Cage's room is surrounded by various doctors, and killing him involves not getting spotted alongside not getting infected by him. The entire level is also a hostile area, with the morgue being harder to infiltrate due to there being additional guards and workers. Preventing the virus from spreading involves knocking out the surgeon (and potentially the doctor) who walks down the corridor, which is tricky due to three guards outside being able to spot 47 should he drag her body down. Finally, the only easy way of exiting the level is taking the snowmobile outside the garage, which is usually surrounded by two patrolling guards.
