Players can poison their target in Hitman’s Freeform Training mission but they must find it first.
One of the opportunities in Showstopper requires players to find a camera lens for a fashion blogger and plant remote explosives in the camera beforehand. This guide will tell players what they need to know about the A Rare Scoop mission in Hitman, including how to get all the required items.
How to Get a Camera Lens in Hitman
Camera Lens Location
Players will initiate the A Rare Scoop mission in Hitman after overhearing a phone call placed by a blogger with a broken camera lens. Offering to help her will open the opportunity to plant remote explosives on the camera. If players are interested in following this storyline, they must visit the Gift Shop (Level 1) in the place and interact with the blogger.
When players first begin Showstopper, they might notice a reporter by the fountain in the Red Carpet area. The reporter brought her camera man along with her and they came in a van – it is here that gamers will find themselves a camera lens.
The reporter’s van is parked on the southeastern corner of the VIP Parking area (Level 1). If the crew has already reached it by the time players get there, they must be careful and wait until no one is looking to steal the gear.

Remote Explosives Location
While players can immediately hand over the camera lens, this isn’t in their best interest, as they can use this situation to their advantage. There are remote explosives in the palace, and gamers can collect them and conceal them in the camera before giving the interviewer the lens.
The remote explosives are not easy to reach, as they are located on the top floor of the palace. To get the remote explosives in Showstopper, gamers need to get into the CICADA Security Control area (Level 3).
This area is easily accessily if they grab auction invitation from the bathroom attached to the corridor that is next to the Gift Shop. Additionally, they can also take down a bodyguard to get a disguise that gives them free access into the CICADA Security Control room.
Once gamers get the remote explosives from the desk with the surveillance camera footage, they must return to the Gift Shop and put them in the camera. Then, they can give the blogger the camera lens.
How to Eliminate Viktor with Remote Explosives in Hitman
After planting the explosives and giving the camera lens to the blogger, she will head to the Red Carpet and wait for Viktor Novikov so she can interview him. Players should follow her and hold the detonator in their hand as they wait.
Players should make sure that they conceal their identity by blending into the crowd that’s standing near the palace entrance, as some people nearby can get suspicious quite easily.
Players must press the detonator as soon as Novikov approaches the camera. The explosion will eliminate the target, and as long as players don’t blow their cover, they’re free to move onto the next part of the mission, whether that’s leaving the area or moving onto their next target.
