Limited Time Events Rewards/Unlockables Question

[Tenets.]

Quite new to the whole franchise in general so don't mind the newbie question
Seeing as they are bringing back some ET and whatnot from previous years.
What are some stuff I should go and prioritise unlocking since they are back?
I realise a few have some cosmetics as a reward for completing under certain conditions.

Besides ET and seasonal event. What other stuff should I be paying attention to?
There's loads of modes and I can't really keep track between them all.

There is no seasonal content, unless you don't have that content

Holiday Hoarders for example is always playable, if you have the full game.
Its just free for a ceratin time for the people, who only have the demo version.
The soon to come seasonal content is the same, as it is always playable, if you have the deluxe pack. But everyone else gets to have a go at it for a limited time

ETs normaly don't give rewards themselves (no items or stuff) except the VIP ETs
For other ETS there are two tracks of rewards for completing an ETs on certain maps, X ETs (up to 12) overall, or up to 5 ETs withz SA ranking.

Oh very nice, thanks for that link haha!
I have most of the base content packs so I'm not really worried about those that exist in the store as I know they probably won't go away, and will get them after I complete most of the base game from H1- H3 and deluxe anyway. I'm guessing it's just some of the celebrity ET's

dont attempt ETs without properly watching guides, they will be here for 15 days so take your time and focus on unlocking essential items and learning the maps. Even if you mess something up you can always alt f4 and try again tho. But kill get those ET rewards now because we will probably never get this many ETs at once again

If you have Haven Island go unlock the Remote Emetic Gas Device which you can put it into your briefcase and detonate it near your target which allows you to get a free Silent Assassin kill in the bathroom, same goes for Sieker which shoots emetic darts for easy kills. I suppose there is also an emetic grenade you can unlock in Ambrose Island. So use them in ETs and in general for easy SA kills.

other than that just focus on grinding mastery on maps you like which already takes like a hundred hours to do. You can also complete the Lee Hong derivation escalation from the deluxe pack which is free for a limited time now -if you dont own it-, it has some nice rewards

I've just been attempting the ET's blind but just quitting if I screw up so it's pretty fun somehow to learn it this way although it's not efficient. But thanks for the tip, I've been having some trouble with targets that cannot be SA in such a straightfoward manner so in the future I can always refer to this.

Elusive Targets will always return. This is the contents of Hitman:

• Challenges, Mission Stories, and Locations Mastery.
  
  
• Bonus missions: You get all of them with buying WoA Deluxe except Six Saravejo, which is the worst bonus campaign, a very short and easy campaign without any challenges, so you can skip this one.
  
  
• Escalation missions, Though they removed many escalations from Hitman 2016 and 2018, I am personally not interested in this one.
  
  
• Elusive Targets give you nice outfits; they will return every year. Just a tip because you said you are new to the game: as long as you don't die or haven't completed an objective, you can restart them. If you messed up, like killed your target but lost Silent Assassin, press Alt + F4 and return to the game again.
  
  
• Arcade mode, which is a newer mode, gives players the chance to replay the elusive targets with some escalation challenges. It gives you special rewards such as equipment and outfits, which is different from doing elusive targets separately.
  
  
• Freelancer is a separate mode, which I would love to play much more if I could enable Silent Assassins for it constantly. I've already completed it three times, but the rewards you gain won't crossover with other modes, and decorating the house is pointless. This is not The Sims game nor an online game like GTA Online, where other players can visit your house.
  
  
• Contracts. (No Rewards)
  
  
• Sniper Mode. (No Rewards)

All of the contents above can be done for fun or by the purpose of unlocking its items, so if you are looking for specific items, you can see which ones you should choose to unlock rewards; otherwise, they give you XP.

Using Tranquilizer, Sieker, ICA Electrotion phone, Emetic Gas Grenade, and Remote Emetic Gas Device makes the elusive targets and other missions much easier. But I hate these items and want to complete them with default loadouts; I use these items only if I want to get a specific challenge faster; otherwise, these items are more like cheat codes.

It is not save to assume ETs will just return forever!

This as well is wrong. For reaching mastery level 20 in Siberia you will get the Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic.

Gaining mastery on Sniper Maps is a pain though

Mmmm I see, thank you so much for detailing each mode in a digestible way. Appreciate that.

Finishing featured contracts for H1 & H2 maps gives you items.
Finishing featured contracts for the H3 maps gives some more items as well.
