Copenhagen, Denmark, October 3rd, 2024 – IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise shares today an update on how players have been fairing in their attempts to take down the Drop. The nightlife mogul, who features superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas’ likeness and voiceover work, will continue his residency in Club Boom until the 14th of October, leaving two weeks for players to try and take him off the billboard. Prepare your loadout with precision, plan your exit strategy, and above all, make sure The Drop falls.

Most of the agents who have completed the mission have chosen to make things personal, as the preferred method of elimination was to take him out was using melee, with 33% opting for this route. The Drop also may want to stay away from workshop tools, as the favourite weapon used against him was the screwdriver.
