On this page of the Hitman 3 guide you will find a walkthrough of the Eyes on Target mission story in a mission in the Mendoza region. This walkthrough will show you how to get the earpiece to give commands to snipers, how to mark Tamara for assassination and how safely get rid of Tamara's bodyguards safely.
Different ways of assassinating the two main mission targets in Mendoza, Don Yates and Tamara Vidal, have been described in separate sections of this guide.
The task is to murder Tamara in such a way that no one notices the moment of her death. The snipers that are on the map will "help" you complete the mission story. The plan is to mark Tamara as a character to be shot and to make sure that the attack on her does not alarm the neighborhood.
In order to give orders to snipers, Agent 47 must use the disguise of a gaucho, a kind of a local bodyguard. You can get this outfit in several different places. The parking lot may be a good location (no. 6 on the map). It is a forbidden zone, so once you jump over the barrier, start sneaking between the cars. Head west.
You will arrive near a small room adjacent to the parking lot (no. 9 on the map). Toss a coin (or sabotage the fuse box inside the building) to distract the enemy gaucho. After he gets closer, eliminate him quietly. Throw his body through the open window, hide it in the closet and put on the gaucho disguise.
In order to obtain the earpiece, you must reach the lower gardens adjacent to the villa (no. 12 on the map). Take a look at the area in the picture above. There are two opponents and they can recognize Agent 47 even in the gaucho outfit. It is a good idea to use a coin to distract them or eliminate them when they reach the tall grass. You can leave their bodies in the tall grass.
Regardless of whether you eliminated both gauchos or just distracted them, get to the open container next to the pick-up truck. Inside you will findthe Spotter's Earpiece.
Stay where you obtained the earpiece (if you haven't eliminated the gauchos, then they should leave the place on their own). Agent 47 can mark targets to be shot by the sniper. You must use the camera from the inventory.
Equip your camera and scan any of the three objects placed on the table (2 melons and a bottle). Press the interaction button (Triangle/ Y) to order the sniper to shoot.
Now head towards the winery building, which is where Tamara can be found. Find her using the red icon on the map and with the use of instinct mode (red silhouette).
Get close enough to Tamara, but don't let any of her bodyguards recognize you. Equip your camera and scan Tamara. Unfortunately, the sniper won't be able to kill her right away.
Carefully approach Diana, who always accompanies Tamara. Again, avoid being detected by Tamara's bodyguards. You must sneak behind their backs. During the meeting Agent 47 will inform Diana that Tamara must go out into the open for the sniper to have a clear shot.
Diana and Tamara will head towards the vantage point located at the south end of the winery building (no. 30 on the map). Unfortunately, the sniper can't shoot right away because you have to get rid of Tamara's three bodyguards first. Wait for all the characters to arrive near the vantage point. Tamara and Diana will stand by the railing while the security guards will disperse a bit. It's worth saving the game at this moment in case any attack on the bodyguards alarms the party guests.
Pull the1. bodyguard (see the picture above) to the left using any throwing object (e.g. a coin). Surprise him from behind and throw his body into a circular area with tall grass so that it will be hidden.
Do not push the 2. bodyguardin order not to kill him unnecessarily. It is recommended to use a throwable object to pull him away to the left and then hide his unconscious body in the tall grass.
The 3. bodyguard can be taken care of by distracting him with a thrown object. He will turn either left or right. This will allow you to attack and stun him. Right now you don't have to drag his body anywhere. You can do this after killing Tamara.
Save the game. Position yourself behind Tamara far enough for the interaction button icon (Triangle /Y) to appear. Now you can order the sniper to shoot her.
Warning: The game has a serious bug that may prevent you from successfully completing this mission story. Despite shooting Tamara the way it should be done, the mission may appear as failed. It's not your fault, it's a game error which misclassifies Tamara's death if she's killed by the sniper.
If you encounter this problem, reload the game using the save before Tamara has been shot. Position yourself very close to her and right after ordering the sniper to shoot, run up to Tamara to push her and throw her over the railing.
Although it was Agent 47 who attacked Tamara and not the sniper, the mission story should appear as completed.
Additional information: After you have already completed the Eyes on Target mission story, you can repeat all the steps and give the order to shoot Tamara much earlier, e.g. when she is sitting with Diana at one of the tables in the patio. Her death will not forfeit your chances of getting a good rank for completing the mission.
