Did most SASOs with Arkian Tuxedo
I know right, you feel like the Phantom of the Opera skulking around in the shadows with it. It's when you play it trying to blend in that you look like a giga autist.
for me, it's Chongkino's Neon City Suit (with gloves)
Post your map tierlists, anons.
Recently started playing nuHitman trilogy and I really like Miami.
ambrose island would be in A
Actually, frick map tier lists. Make way for the TRUE tier list.
>both white shirt, black trouser suits in S or A
Beyond garbage tier list, worst list in the history of lists
how do you unlock the shirtless suit thats in d tier
You can’t, it’s the only “suit” you wear for the Carpathian Mountain mission and you can’t change it. You can get a mod for it on PC though.
They’re classy and casual at the same time. Top tier suits.
What's the red jacket in A tier called? I've never seen it before.
formal hunting attire
it's from one of the shitty deluxe escalations
does the train even count as a map
they really fricked us over in 3
no more than the funeral in blood money counts as a mission. its an epilogue at most
this is my quick ranking,
keep in mind that only D tier is actually bad imo, map quality is really good
fanculo la tua paesino italiano
Ambrose in okay
Based. That and the Cashmerian are my favourites.
is this shit worth the 100gb pirate? id love to give it a shot but god damn learn compression you pajeet devs
The total game with all 3, included in hitman 3, is like under 70gb
i just looked it up, no idea were i got 100 gigabytes from, fair enough filesize for hitman 3 + 1 and 2 missions
>no idea were i got 100 gigabytes from
You got it from previous game which was pretty fat.
>30 extra gb were all used for upskirts
jesus. So its better to just get H3 with the 1/2 missions? I was curious why the frick 2 is so massive if 3 has everything from the previous games + a new game.
This is why
, literally the only reason why hey removed upskirts was to save data.
kek so what no coomers put them back in by now? thats funny
The important female targets still have their upskirts and that's all that matters.
It is if you don't care about pantyshots. The only other issue I know of are flying lanterns on Hokkaido map. There used to be a shit load of them in Hitman 1, then in 2 there were only light sources left, in 3 instead of fixing them they've removed them entirely. Maybe there are other issues with ported maps that I don't know of. But generally visual and gameplay improvements outweight it.
Asset reutilisation and compression.
Also no more upskirts T-T
Why does the protagonist of Hitman have to be a bald guy? Why can't it be a handsome dude with a full head of hair?
Back in the year 2000, IO couldn’t get hair physics to work.
Your opinion on Numan?
YOU BIG BALD FWAHHHHKKHH!
Any chance you can get it with extra dip?
The way it's meant to be played.
>coin
I don't really get the point of bringing this unless you're doing an escalation where you know exactly where you will need to use it. Pretty much any melee you can find on the map has the same usage and if you want to use it for the very niche usage of being a distraction when noticed after being placed then you can usually find coins scattered all over the maps anyway.
>any melee you can find on the map has the same usage
this. kruger or throwables work as basic distractions, and if im bringing a placeable distraction, ill bring something more versatile like a phone or duck or lil flashy or something. might as well be able to serve an extra purpose if needed
So, is this escalation still broken in 3? I was pretty pissed I couldn't get this handcannon in 2. Or was it 1, I don't remember.
It's just for style.
it works
Thank.
>is this escalation still broken in 3?
no. you can also get a striker from i think the elusive arcade? or featured contracts. and then theres the patricians choice, el matador from the delgado larceny
>el matador from the delgado larceny
Only if you imported it from Hitman 2. In 3 it's one of the final escalation track rewards.
oh, my bad. thats a shame, the delgado larceny was one of the few non-shit escalations
npcs investigate coins even if they see you throw them. very useful when going for a top time on a contract
what do you mean? they just ridicule you and the whole frickin room stares
like yeah someone eventually picks up the coin but its infinitely less useful if you are seen placing it
I breadcrumb the coins. It's so stupid and cheap but funny.
the "very niche usage" is incredibly helpful for making targets walk onto hazards to go pick it up
Do you play with stories/hints/guides on or off
Off, please.
I'm guessing not even model swaps are easy to mod in. I think it uses some IOI's proprietary engine.
model edits definitely exist, especially swapping. Kek what a rando character to do. Anyway downloading 3 with the old missions now, might start at the first game's missions then go to 2 from there.

Off if you actually want to play efficiently
>getting /f/ advice from vidya
Does Ganker really?
/fa/*
Yes
For me it's two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda
why is he so bald?
why am I so piglike in appearance?
sweet bald
Genuinely asking? So as not to leave hair behind as evidence. He's supposed to a perfect killer. No trace left behind. Can kill any target in a litany of ways. Can assess an area and stalk prey accordingly, blending right into the scenery. Y'know unless the target is in a more ethnic country. Then you have a big bald blue-eyed white guy "blending" into a sea of latin/black/asian people. Gets a chuckle from me with some disguises. As does sending a target soaring out of bounds with a few propane tanks.
did they breed him to have alopecia? is he as hairless as a dolphin?
GOOD MORNING SIRS!

I heard that Hitman 3 is going to be renamed "World of Assassination" or whatever and basically fully combining 1, 2, and 3 sometime this month. Those who already own at least 3 will be given a significant upgrade in terms of content, but I wanted to know how it breaks down and if its worth trying to get the other stuff cheaper ahead of time to get the most out of the upgrade. I know I have
>Hitman 1, all episodes + GOTY pack + Patient Zero. NOT blood money requiem pack
>Hitman 2 standard pack, NOT Expansion pass. NOT any of the GOTY or GOTY upgrade packs though these may not be necessary given I have Hitman 1
>Hitman 3 , don';t have it yet in any form.
I know I can grab a cheap key for Hitman 3 Deluxe before the changeover happens, which I think will give me all Hitman 3 stuff except for the 7 Deadly Sins expansions? I don't know if my 1 and 2 games as they are now is enough to get all their content imported into 3, but if not I can get a cheap Hitman 2 Expansion Pass DLC which I think will upgrade my standard 2 to expansion/gold 2. It seems like after the overhaul it will be the best way to play all 3 games straight through via Steam in HM3 / World of Assassination. The only question is what to do before the split to get the most value and if I have to install and register the other games somehow to ensure they import to 3?
Buy Hitman 3 now on sale. If you want all of Hitman 3’s Deluxe and 7 Deadly Sins content then wait for the WoA to come out and buy the deluxe pack. But they’re not really that necessary, you should just buy the Hitman 2 Gold expansion (cheap, gets you two good maps, highly recommend), buy 3, and decide if you want to complete 3’s (mediocre) dlc later.
Okay, thanks. I can easily get Hitman 3 for like $20 now and Hitman 3 Deluxe for like $22-24, so may as well go with the Deluxe. Hitman 2 Expansion Pass (I already have base game from a bundle awhile ago) is like $4, so I'l be set that way. I do wonder if there will be some sort of prorating for the WoA DLC/access pass as, as I read it - normally means H3 Deluxe + H3 7 Deadly Sins expansion+ H2 Expansion Pass; if I buy H3 Deluxe and the cheap H2 pass, that will be everything except for H3 7DS. Thanks anon, at least this makes things easier.
Yeah, they already said you should get a special deal to complete the rest of the DLC at a discount within the client if you own the rest of the DLC but not 7DS so what you’re doing should complete all the content in the trilogy.
I miss the sense of limited windows of opportunity and organicness of the older games. One of my favorite missions in the series is the first assignment in C47 where the triads have a meeting in a park and they really go through all the motions by driving in, having a talk then leaving.
WoA is too robotic in comparison, one-time meetings are always manually triggered and targets always go back to their predefined loops.
>one-time meetings are always manually triggered and targets always go back to their predefined loops.
some of the things are timed events though
i think the family meeting on dartmoor is the perfect compromise. it happens on its own eventually, or you have the option to trigger it early if your plan relies on it
The problem with all the events that happen automatically is that they take forever to happen (sometimes up to 20 minutes if you choose to wait for them).
Miami is another notable example of an event that is heavily time limited.
you can speed that up too, though
With the new RNG mod, do I need to have all the shit unlocked before it shows up? Lke if I don't got a poison needle, will it still have a chance of showing up in the RNG mode
I'm wondering this also. I'm in the process of finishing challenges and level masteries to unlock all the weapons, outfits and gadgets. I'll be a little bummed if the RNG part is limited to what you have unlocked in the standard mode.
Expectation on the server emulator covering Freelancer? What's the general trend on content being available via piracy? I'm debating whether to buy 3 now or just finish out everything in 2 and pirate 3. I think I'd want to skip re-unlocking all the shit in either case.
Not sure if it was a driver update, proton update, or both, but the game doesn't hard-freeze for me anymore on linux.
It seemed to have been happening the most on Dubai and I've completed two series of Escalation missions there to prove the freezes aren't happening anymore. It's good to be back.
>linux
Perfection
Dubai's Ashen Suit is a recolor of this one, is it not? It has the same ICA tie pin
>Dubai's Ashen Suit is a recolor of this one, is it not?
It's not. They're both suits with a tie pin but the actual 3D model is different. Abso Suit uses the higher-quality suit model it had in H1, while Ashen Suit is a recolor of the Undying Suit which, like most suits introduced in that game, has a lower quality model with downgraded textures (most noticeably seen in the shadows on the collar of the jacket).
So TLDR, no the Ashen Suit is not a recolor of Abso Suit. Ashen Suit is just a downgraded version of it.
>It has the same ICA tie pin
It's not the ICA logo. That tie pin has the Fleur de Lys logo on it, you know, the same logo of Ort-Meyer's Asylum that 47 adopted for his own use? It's not related to the ICA in the slightest. Go play the first level of Hitman Contracts right NOW.
Can anyone recommend me videos like the recent Atrioc competition? I don't want to trawl through a bunch of speedruns, just a digest of creative and zany strategies and tricks in any run. Or maybe video of a speedrunner developing their route (summarized down to like 30 min instead of 3 hours)?
Have you taken the time to get comfortable abusing NPC panic AI?
>guards gating off an area
>you fire three bullets
>they panic and you can just run past them while they're in searching mode.
Don't even need to waste a bullet.
Apologies for terrible quality
What is even happening in this webm?
I took out the silverballer, which 'spooks' the elite soldier facing me, and that ends his conversation with the general. He starts panicking but he's unsure what exactly happened. The nearby elite soldiers are unvaxxed and so also catch the infectious panic flu, thus allowing me to sneak past them into the school. (and it is perfectly SA, I've checked)
when will videogames be fixed
Is this something where the specific details developed from 2 into 3? I was trying to quickly SA a sniper contract by using distracting/panic shots to keep the bodies from being discovered until I could exit and it just wasn't working out for me. Actually, reflecting more on it, I think I just need to learn the sound radius so I can peel off NPCs. Another thing I noticed was a target guard walking into range of a panicked guard and becoming panicked himself, causing a problem.
Agent 47 wants to eliminate (you)
>You have 24 hours of prep time
>You get to pick any location from the games to serve as your base of operations
>All NPCs on the location of your choice will serve you as long as they still maintain their roles (enforcers will guard or patrol, chefs will cook, sellers will still sell, etc).
>Items on the map cannot be destroyed by you or your NPCs, but you can move them around to any spot you want. Keep in mind Agent 47 can still use wall hacks.
>Agent 47 will come in empty handed and in just his suit, multiple entry points and disguises are still fair game though.
>Agent 47 will not use lethal force on the NPCs unless forced to, you're his only target
>Agent 47 will fail and give up forever if you can survive for 3 hours
>As a bonus, if you survive, ALL the property on the location of your choice is yours to keep forever. Factor this into the equation if you want.
What's the game plan?
Simple, I hire guards that understand how gunshots work
Hide in Vittorio's church. Easy. Because 47 apparently knows how to look for him anywhere but there.
shoot him when he arrives
I chill in the Tornado shelter in Colorado for three hours with about 100 armed guards clustered in the basement and bottom floor of the building
i accept my death but pick ark society isle so that i can hopefully lose my virginity to a billionaire dommy mommy in a masked orgy beforehand
What's the difference between hitting a guard non-lethally and having them hear three bullet impacts?
I don’t think there is a difference they both rush to the “bubble” of where the shot came from and will only be hostile to someone in that area.
What was her endgame?
Had a crush on 47, put emetic poison on Diana's coffee so she could talk to him; wished she was one of the prostitutes in the jacuzzi with 47 as her master (assassin)
So did she get together with him? Did he refuse? Did she Jeff herself?
They tried to go on a date but it didn't work out, 47 entered a slight jog inside the restaurant and the place ended up being raided by the SWAT. Pretty tragic really.
Romania no, Ambrose yes
>Those missions in Afghanistan where 47 dresses like a sand Black person
are romania and ambrose islands full size maps with story missions and everything like the rest? I only have mendoza and those left
romania no, ambrose yes, although its a little smaller than most maps. similar to new york i think
cool. 3 is really great so far, i especially loved dartmoor
but how similar is ambrose to haven? seems a bit weird for them to make two tropical island resort maps
id say pretty different. theres a lot more natural teraain; its at night time; its grungy pirate camps as opposed to a sanitised resort
i cant see how they could have differentiated it much more while staying a tropical island, they did a good job making it feel different. it honestly has more in line with colombia than haven
sounds pretty cool, I just saw the pic on the destination menu
I had the same thought before playing it, and honestly it's more similar to Santa Fortuna than Haven. Think thick jungles and an old pirate fortress.
Romania is pretty linear with only challenges
Ambrose is pretty big but has no story missions, only challenges
How does 47 get away with disguises in shitskin places anyway?
You have to suspend your disbelief. In the modern world, a tall muscular white man with a bald head stick out like a sore thumb anywhere.
If they wanted to accurately make an assassin who could blend into any environment with convincing disguises, he'd be some kind of brown mutt who "looks like every race" at a glance.
They usually try to get around the issue. In Mumbai the main unique disguises are an American actor and the Kashmirian (light skinned Indian by definition). If you're a random guard, its not impossible for a white guy to be working abroad.
Weird lighting flashing effect is ruining this for me. Setting it to 30fps fixes it but I don't want that as a solution.
Did you try bordless windowed or windowed mode? You could try forcing v-sync/fps cap in your gpu panel too.
i fricking hate that shit
that bug has existed on every system for months and they still haven't fixed it. Restarting the game always fixes it for me

Feed all three heads of the serpent to Mijo
i did that once for the challenge in hitman 2, id have done it again had they not cut it for h3. ill get back to you with a webm if this thread is still up by the time i get it done kek
(SA, SASO if you can, SASONKO even better)
Compulsory: Only carry pistol, any/all of fibre wire, coin and lockpick. No other tools allowed)
i seriously doubt SASONKO would be doable given how much body dragging ill have to do but im down to try and route SASO. keep the thread alive lol
are you mandating a difficulty or am i free to play on casual to speed things up?
professional and up.
in sasonko i meant only drag the targets. don't harm non-targets. but even if that is hard, leave it. saso is fine.
yeah, my thinking was that sasokno would be impossible because the amount of dragging means there will almost certainly be no routes where i wont have to knock people out
kill Robert Knox by doing the story where you hand him a bomb trigger, except hide the bomb in a briefcase so he blows himself up. Do it disguised as the sheik
then kill Sierra by throwing a broadsword at her in plain view
im routing the mijo shit, sorry anon. if i get mijo done ill do yours
and heres sierra. i think i might leave the aquarium dumping for another day; im a bit hitman-ed out tonight. sorry anon
thats actually really cool I would never have thought to do that myself
nor would i, props to the anon who came up with it. the next step would be having knox kill them both, i guess by rigging up bombs in such a way he flies to the right a bit and falls onto sierras car. i dont fancy that though, itd just be endless attempts waiting for rngesus to take pity
what is the comfiest map to larp in for you guys? for me it's hokkaido, haven island and sapienza
hokkaido, haven, whittleton
Sapienza, hokkaido, new york, berlin

Delgados just arrived, so that's the easy part done. Not really sure what my plays are for Franco and martinez
I just remembered WoA Diana's VA also voiced the Absolution tutorial lady
?t=265
You now remember Absolution exists
they need to bring the saints back NOW
I only remember Absolution exists because of this
Anyone here read pic related and the Absolution prequel novel? I found them online are they worth a read?
frick, i havent played Colombia recently and it shows, just cleared martinez's entire compound to drag her out the front gate before realising there was a side exit
For me its terminus
are kill sounds still in the nuHitman games? I know the hitmarkers are still there, but what about the kill sounds?
the tinnitus ringing? yeah
damn. Finally, someone on Ganker knows what I'm talking about, thanks.
It's the one thing that put me off getting 2 and 3. And I doubt the devs will add an toggle option for it. They've lost a sale.
https://www.nexusmods.com/hitman3/mods/128
best solution I know of
For me it's:
MR WORLDWIDE
That suits the Requiem Suit better
a man of culture I see
reminder that only accident kills are canon
this includes poison
poison isn't and never will be on the level of accidents. this is a dumb system by nu-hitman and needs to be ignored.
You mean only fiber wire kills
holy shit moving martinez is taking forever. having a nightmare getting her through the village
i forgot about the ledge on the side path to the temple tunnels. going to have to clear a path through the construction site to drag martinez through ;-;

That fricker is eating good today
god i fricking hate that challenge. been grinding H2 escalations to try and get this before the 26th
it’s not too bad as long as you don’t compel yourself to get SA.
because it took IO 3 entries to finally realize that it was cringe and that challenges were sufficient hints. if it were hitman 1 or 2 they would have them for (spoilers follow, Im assuming you asked because you played it already)
>Farah’s requests
>Hippie guy
>Slap boxing
>Boat repair
>Waking up the sleeping cook
>Finding and destroying the satellite control unit
>Destroying the comms and rigging the bridge
Instead you get the challenges as hints of possibilities (along with in game dialogue) for you to figure out yourself which is way better
>it’s not too bad as long as you don’t compel yourself to get SA.
THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING OH GOD
see:
how come Ambrose Island doesn't have any mission stories
technically there are "mission story" type kills available, they just dont show them on some maps as a challenge. same with berlin
Why ask for more mission stories? Single most normie addition to the franchise since instinct
because they're funny, like 47 as a real estate agent or a drummer
you can literally do things like that in the maps without mission stories still, you just have to think about how to do it a bit more
or just read the challenges because they are pretty obvious most of the time
There is some really convoluted pointless shit in Miami that involves giving the cocaine to Florida man and that isn't even a challenge.
and I will say the redacted challenges are fricking annoying because sometimes the picture misrepresents the challenge (Plenty of Fish in the Sea on Haven Island, the pic is of the fishing guy but the actual challenge is to pick up a fish from the ocean on the other side of the map from him)
jorge has been isolated and the route to the hippo enclosure is mostly cleared. all thats left to do is wait for him to get back to the botany lab, KO him, and begin the long drag to mijo
>47, frick my sister!
So why did he go there? Secret business? Massage? Sucky-fricky? What are the 'interesting things'?
Acting like a john to get access to his target without arousing suspicion too early.
3/3 😀
turn timer on bro. give us a better perspective of the shitshow.
i didnt have timer on, but i recorded the whole run, so ill get you a time on how long i spent on that, then see if i can condense it into a webm without it being unwatchable
the recording is 2 hours 15mins kek
No chance in hell that can be compressed. Upload it to a filehost and post link.
i mean im gonna edit it down anyway since there was obviously a lot of saving involved, so ill cut it down to just the successful portions and see what im left with
Alright do it and I've got another challenge for you
whats your other challenge? ill have a go at it and the miami one the other anon suggested while i wait for the export/upload
It's not nu-Hitman. So if you don't want that then skip.
Finish the whole Run for your Life mission (specifically focused on Train Station checkpoint) SASONKO (original Terminus Suit from Burning Hotel must be retained).
If you have the original suit in the Train Station checkpoint, then just do that.
Compulsory: Hard difficulty or up. I've already mentioned SASONKO but whatever (you can ignore the evidence if you want)
i dont have any of the old hitmans handy to play 🙁
also for the miami anon, turns out you cant put the car bomb in a briefcase and hold on to the trigger 🙁
Sad. That was the only 'impossible' challenge for me from that game.
I have another miami idea for you since you seem so good at dumping bodies, both targets into the aquarium.
i dont actually know how easy it is to get the lady on that side of the map
she goes over there for the trophy, and since you can lure robert down with the florida mans balls, thatd be relative doable i think. im still working on blowing up robert, since it turns out you can put the bomb in the bin and retain the trigger
im probably going to go to bed soonish, but i like the idea, so if i dont do it tonight ill do it another time
how about suit only aquarium dump? you can add SA to it if you feel ballsy
SASO aquarium dump should be pretty manageable. in the meantime (vid export only at 40% frick vdsc) heres the robert webm for
NAH BRO, get robert into target lockdown and gets himself in the aquarium
>why would you lure robert downstairs on his own when you could lure him downstairs protected by a squad of alert bodygyards?
i respect the effort bro. good job
FRICK daytime maps
i might just dump the video as is, sorry bros. the shitty free editing software i have is fricking unusable. i wanted to splice out the failures to make it more watchable but literally basic cutting is causing the software to shit itself
post it
dialed it up to 4X speed at least, so that its less tedious to watch and so that the file size is a bit smaller, will upload once it finishes exporting
I told ya 😉
Just upload it to a file hosting site
pc bros post mod lists, i want to add more stuff in here
my time to shine
If you're not using simple mod framework to manage everything you're doing it wrong
I'm trying to get her to land on the finish line with explosives
I'm getting close
these suggestions and webms have made me realize that playing hitman at a low level of skill is much less enjoyable than exploiting all the systems available to do insane shit. game filters people not by being difficult, but by being so much better with a little autism applied
youre not wrong. the bomb kill on knox was cool and throwing a sword at sierra was fun but despite how long and tedious it was, i had more fun with mijo, and i didnt even do anything that fancy. only even one panic shot, iirc
you seem to know your shit, any general tips you can give a noob about SASO? I feel like some areas of maps are just designed to be navigated in disguise and clearing out entire rooms with open-door-throw-coin feels weird and takes forever
there are often ways you can do SASO with all or part of mission stories and pseudo-mission stories so those are helpful.
if you just want to rawdog it:
>the krugermeier is your best friend, for both panic shots and distraction shots
>lethal poison is also your best friend. if you can get some food unattended, or better yet, syringe a target, its a free kill. iirc you can literally kill bradley on haven in his starting position lmao
>gear in general is super helpful. having everything unlocked, or at least a lot of the key stuff, and being familiar with it, is a huge asset. a lot of the time when im routing, ill be able to see, "oh, [item] would be great here" room clearers like emetic nades (also the fart case strat, where you put the remote emetic gas in a briefcase to trigger it without being suspicious) or the goldbrick, and flashes are the big non-weapon ones to look out for
>also poisons; not just lethal. the sieker is a godsend and kalmers are actually really nice too, if theres just one or two guards killing your route. just like how lethally poisoned bodies wont frick up SA, nor will sedated ones
>if youre limiting yourself the way i was limited for the hippo frickery, then yeah, its a lot of KOing and throwing distractions and waiting around, the only real thing you can do to get better at that is understand the AI as best as you can, which comes with time
if youre just looking to pick up SASOs, take advantage of mission stories where you can, and dont be afraid to lean on your arsenal. haven unlocks not only the sieker but also the emetic gas device, so doing that mastery if you havent already would be a good starting point. also, just for the sake of having it, do either the cheveyo calibration, the escalation in romania, or whichever ET arcade gives you the rude ruby sniper, as those are the snipers youll want when you need a sniper
>iirc you can literally kill bradley on haven in his starting position lmao
you can and ive done this
>the krugermeier is your best friend, for both panic shots and distraction shots
just got my first one, is a distraction shot a single bullet that they investigate like a coin, and a panic shot when you shoot twice near them and they crouch which lets you pass without being seen?
also have you tried sniping recently? I feel like its broken because I take shots on top of a tower from across the map even if I snipe them with a silenced rifle idk what the frick im doing wrong
>I take shots on top of a tower from across the map
*I get spotted and shot at by guards even if I snipe across map silenced.
i wrote that like a moron, sorry i've been drinking
they are probably just doing covering fire and didn't actually see you. If you kill someone in view of a guard, they can instantly tell where the shot came from but they can't see you. Same applies if they just notice a bullet impact, they then will commonly start laying down covering fire while other guards storm to the location
they don't actually "see" you unless it says Combat above the minimap
>is a distraction shot a single bullet that they investigate like a coin
yes
>and a panic shot when you shoot twice near them and they crouch which lets you pass without being seen?
sort of. do 3 shots to be safe. if you shoot near an npc (most useful with guards) and they realise its shooting as opposed to just "a noise" that would distract them, they drop everything to go investigate where it came from. ordinarily, thatd mean they find you there and kill you. however, if you can hide your gun get away from where you took the shots quickly enough (and they didnt see you take the shots, obviously), they wont be able to piece together that it was you that took the shots. them dropping everything will also include regular guard duties so theyll be completely ignorant if you trespassing or carrying illegal items
essentially
>shoot near guard three times from where he cant see you
>holster gun and gtfo quickly
>laugh as you commit crimes while the moron hyperfocuses on finding the shooter
to answer your sniper question, this also related to how guards drop everything to find a shooter. if they cant actually get to where you are, theyll just shoot at your last known position, to try and pin you down. they also do this even when they havent actually seen you, i guess the logic being that they figure out where the shot came from and take pot shots to prevent a shooter escaping. i dont think they do it if youve already cleared the area, but if you remain in your sniper nest you can take fire without having actually been seen. hope all that made sense
>them dropping everything will also include regular guard duties so theyll be completely ignorant if you trespassing or carrying illegal items
>essentially
so you can loop around them as they search to get past frisk zones? and the investigation doesnt end SA? thank you so much for explaining this shit my game is about to be stepped up
yeah, basically. if you do it right you can run straight past them, while trespassing, while carrying a gun, and they wont give a shit

, i wasnt 100% on the number of shots
the hippo video is uploading right now, ill tell you the timestamp i do a panic shot once its up just so you can see how it works
3 shots near a regular NPC = insta panic
2 shots near a guard = insta alert, and you can literally keep your gun out, run past them, and they won't care
alternatively a body shot on a guard does the same thing
what the frick are you telling me i can 2 shot the ground or 1 shot their gut from out of sight and then fricking jog past them gun out and keep SA?
yes, just make sure they are actually in full alert state before running past with your gun out
here's an example of a common one that speedrun autists use (although they usually take it from the window upstairs)
so you need to be far away to get the panic shot, not just out of sight of guards? looks like an intentional delay of like 5 seconds to et the AI change states
as long as you get away from the perceived bubble you’ve created as the shooter location fast enough you’re good. for example on Hawkes Bay as you leave the house you can shoot the guard clusters on the beach from a mile away and then run right past them, all in the open because of how far you were
ooh thats a good example i get what you mean. does the calibur of bullet matter for distractions, like will a sniper shot always put guards on alert while pistols take 2 shots? or is it always the same shit
Caliber of the bullet does not matter, However! if you are trying to use a 1 bullet distraction (equivalent to throwing a wrench or something, they just look in the direction and will walk over to investigate) keep in mind that if you are close enough only a subsonic gun will work properly. this is because a regular suppressed gun is loud enough that they will both hear the impact distraction and the shot, and then will go into alert.
if you are directly shooting guards it should always be one bullet anywhere but the head, or one bullet from a sniper in a non lethal area (not super sure if this varies by sniper because I only use the Ghost for runs where this trickery is used but it should be the feet and the hands, and possibly the shoulder)
they were already full alerted the moment I shot him, it just takes a hot second for guards to go storm where a shot came from
you don't need to be terribly far away, here's another speedrun autist version of that same shot from a little closer. The biggest thing is make sure you leave the location you shot from immediately after shooting because the AI will sometimes magically decide to make you seen if you linger too long
NPCs can't say goofy shit if they never see you do anything
Carpathian Mountains would be the best map if it was an actual train you had to infiltrate and navigate through on a timer through different environments, hazards, and train stops tbh
It would be so perfect bros
a small train route with stops where you can get off in a mini level and wait for the train to return would be max kino
I also want an amusement park map where you can sabotage rides, a proper government facility infiltration so we can take down glowies, and an airport map because that shit is so long overdue at this point.
imagine dressing up as TSA and forcing a target to do a "random search" so you can get them alone
it's a Snowpiercer reference

Reminder that there was literally nothing wrong with this item.
i mean, it was a free accident kill on any target in any map. I wish there were remote electric ducks or something for setting up puddle accidents but the phone was definitely overkill
t. SASO'd multiple elusives with it in H2
tasers are just as OP when you're playing contracts that have guard targets
dunno why the phone made them so butthurt that they felt like they had to remove it. It was basically just an item for complete casuals which is fine
IOI should have kept it in the game with one of three caveats:
>it is never an accidental kill (making it pretty useless)
>it does not kill when answered unless the target is standing in a puddle or in the rain
>it kills when answered but only counts as an accident if answered in a puddle or in the rain (probably too complicated)
as it stood it was just too brain dead to get SASO and really did stifle creativity. i did abuse it relentlessly for ETs during its lifespan though
>>it does not kill when answered unless the target is standing in a puddle or in the rain
holy shit you fixed the item in a single sentence. bring it the frick back right NOW
they are in the Themed section, and you will have a Futo suit, Lynch suit, and freedom suit
but freedom might be in another tab i cant remember

Bros, I completed SASO for Bangkok. Hardest part was poisoning the cake because that room has 50 people in it, but with some lucky coins I got it. Also, that's the worst map I've played so far. Even Marrakesh was better, especially the night variant.
Hokkaido SASO is fricking dogshit moronic and I feel like they never intended anyone but the most dedicated frickers to do it
no I havent looked up a guide
YOU are dogshit. It's the easiest main map SASO.
Panic Yamazaki from the default start by shooting the cable. She prepares to leave. Shoot it down.
Go the morgue area, shoot the heart and then leave from the snow car exit
fricking hell thank you anon
Yuki is also easy to SASO using the sauna kill if you have electronic scramblers for the back door. There’s also a way to kill Soders in 30 seconds with minimal risk and without entering the hospital room or morgue using an impact explosive, but it is quite cheesy.
>There’s also a way to kill Soders in 30 seconds with minimal risk and without entering the hospital room or morgue using an impact explosive, but it is quite cheesy.
pretty sure there's some intel item on the map somewhere heavily implying you can do it, I don't think it's that cheesy
it's a roguelike mode
really? I thought it was more of a bug because of how low his HP was. any idea what intel it is?
it gives him a heart attack, it was clearly intended
I'll see if I can find the intel item I could have frickin sworn there was one
if you wanna see the heart attack just go into the operating room and detonate a bomb
I really hope you find it, unless it’s just a really functional easter egg the way that Caruso’s hidden virus for De Santis is
woah shit thats good. how do you do the cable shot since you cant start with any gear in default location? doesnt she get too far from the cablecar if you dont do it immediately?
the cable car is her escape location, just lock her down until she runs there
get any gun from a guard and shoot it from 47's balcony
but they come to investigate the location of the shot?
then hide dummy
And now do it again on Master.
kill soders by throwing a bomb at the window in the garden
kill yamazaki with the sauna or the cable car
I have yet to look up a saso guide and figured out a route for whatever map i try always make sure to look around the map fully first its pretty easy
yeah imo looking up guides removes the puzzle aspect from the game which I really enjoy, but sometimes having someone point i n the right direction is nice. I was way off base with my hokkaido trying to fricking coin and emetic the b***h this whole time or something crazy
I have no clue how you thought Hokkaido SASO was hard but had no complaints on Bangkok or Colorado, both of which are far worse in H2016 alone.
All 3 of those maps are pretty easy to saso too but i didn't play 2016 much so im not sure what makes it harder
I just meant Season 1, but I think Colorado and Bangkok are still the 2 hardest main missions in the trilogy to SASO on master. Sgail is also there, and then it’s a steep drop off imo. Think I might actually do a tier list of this.
I guess this just goes to show how vastly different everyone plays the game because i also found sgail pretty easy
To be fair my memory of it is tainted by the fact that I wanted to SASO Snipers it my first go around and worked for hours to nail them (without using cheap emetic shit). I’ve learned some better pure SASO strats since for smooth accident kills
im the hokkaido complainer and dont get me wrong, colorado is my least favorite map in the trilogy. i have like mastery level 5 or some shit because i never want to play it again let alone do challenges like SASO
I’ve 100%ed the trilogy and I am always thankful to have been done with Colorado so early. Awful challenges (especially before Hitman 3 cleaned them up a bunch), awful escalations, awful main mission. The Vector is kinda cool but that’s it.
i really like the suit but have just written it off from my want list because i will never do that crap. that might be the level to eventually break me and look up guides
You like the Colorado default suit? You can’t it right now, the Hitman 1 suits aren’t locked behind challenges or mastery, they’re locked behind doing an ET on that level. They also added a stupid hat to it once you unlock it. One of the few suits in the trilogy I don’t have because I didn’t autistically wait for ETs every week.
>They also added a stupid hat to it once you unlock it.
yeah that shit is moronic. I found a mod to remove the hat but I still need to unlock the suit to use it. i need to do The New Yorker suit still too and that level just feels like a time waster to me
NY is one of my favorites in the trilogy. It’s not overly complex but the structure and oppurtunies to isolate Savalas are nice. Plus it’s just got a comfy vibe (and one of the best suits in the series when you get it).
lots of the challenges feel like they have long setups, so you cant really savescum through them. you actually have to do the majority of the level again for the next setup every time
im already like level 10 in that one so I'll probably try to finish it next
Why didn't Diana just say she was gonna poison 47 to let him get close to the Constant
she was under surveillance and during the olive grove meeting was surrounded by CICADA guards. everything she said up until that point could have plausible deniability as part of the trap to get 47, but spelling out the actual plan would have been too risky
How do you know if you got the IOI account suits? I thought I saw someone say it had one from Kane and Lynch, but I didn't see anything with an obvious reference to the franchise and it's been so fricking long I can't remember what either person wore.
Can someone explain what this upcoming Freelancer thing is?
https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-road-to-freelancer-2/https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-road-to-freelancer-2/
roguelike mode with a safehouse that has 100 levels of XP progression. kinda permadeath system but you can keep some gear between runs. anything on you in a mission you fail is always lost. vid explaiins it better. its a cool mode but I hated some of the economy and challenge balancing in the playtest
how can NPCs even tell if someone's knocked out instead of asleep in a bed
they say "hey thats not a sleeping animation you look like a ragdoll!"
actually that would be a great voice line
>I see those dots over your head man who did this to you
I cant figure out Hokkaido
same bro, they said to shoot the cable at the start but I cant start with a gun so I'm back to being confused
see
I'm at the point where I pretty much do SA/SO exclusively. What's the point of getting clean kills if I don't look good?
Some poetic methods require an outfit. Like getting Robert Knox to kill his daughter.
you don't need to change disguises for that one actually
How else are you going to give Knox the trigger or place the bomb on the vehicle?
that interaction doesnt require a disguise. theres literally a webm of it in this thread
You need a disguise in order to talk to Knox because the overpass is considered a trespassing zone. If you just walk up to him in a suit he's going to just run to a guard. Unless there is some other way to give him trigger I'm not aware of. You need a disguise for sure to plant the bomb on the car. The game literally doesn't allow you to interact with the pit stop without a Kronstadt pit crew outfit.
it temporarily turns into not a trespass zone during the sequence (only the bridge part, the stairs is still considered trespassing for some reason)
What about the bomb? I guess theoretically you could throw the bomb on the racetrack instead of attaching it to the car itself and then time your interaction with him so he explodes the bomb on the track right when she passes over it but that's going to take a lot of failed attempts until you know how to time that properly.
I forgot about planting the bomb, ignore me I'm moronic
you can hand the trigger to Knox wearing any disguise which is why I said that
>find a real nice smooth route on dubai
>one of the guards have x ray vision and constantly spot me
>have to now sloppy knock out two guards to finish the run making it less smooth
this shouldnt bother me as much as it did
There are some challenges that ask you to kill X amount of targets, where the number is higher than available targets. How are you supposed to do them? Like Bangkok asks you to kill 4 targets with an axe, but there are only 2 targets. Marrakesh has another one and I think it needs 5 targets. I thought maybe they were including the bonus missions, but the night Marrakesh contract is only 2 more targets so that still doesn't meet the 5.
contracts
Is that one of those side modes? I haven't done anything but the "real" game.
yeah
if no one wanted to download the hippo vid (which is fair) i can try and make some webms of the best bits at least, if people want to see them?
I'm watching it now dw
aw thank you anon. its honestly not my finest work, a lot of frickups and savescumming because im out of practice on colombia, but it was fun being given a challenge that i wouldnt normally do
i was going to watch it but 3gb was just so big. i would have accepted a 720p vid for it to be smaller lol
ill try and come up with a less dogshit way of showing it tomorrow
>do the challenge where Akka kills Crest by kicking him off the edge of the ruins
>pull her off the ledge
>she survives
?
>not just manipulating the gas tank beforehand and have her blow herself up
>well FRICKING done
Wow, such soul, much reward. I was actually surprised there was no actual challenge for that, like who would NOT attempt to do that? One of the many reasons why Berlin is overrated.
>Decided to see if I could take out all ICA agents the Berlin level.
>Knock all of them out and drag their bodies on top of each other
>Throw c4 and detonate, killing all instantly
>Gets unique dialogue for doing so
Holy shit the soul, I can't take it. This game has so much replayability.
>guard sees 47 swap disguises
>"how the hell does he change clothes so fast"
>Guard sees 47 jump in container and keeps opening the lid to peak through.
>"Where did he go?! Suspect has vanished!"
Chongking is such a comfy level because it's night & raining.
Too bad its pretty much a vertical level since theres so many floors to it.
Daytime version isn't too bad either. Might be the only map that is good in both day and night
Sapienza (The Author, not The Icon)
Where the frick is the Ivory White item in the Paris level? I need it for the contract mission.
in dalia's office, safe next to the door
Thank you fren. I've been looking for it for several days now and keep failing to find it and getting locked out for 12 hours.
Did they ever release the WoA trilogy physically? I have it on gamepass but its so fun I want to own it.
On PS4 and Xbox, yes. Hitman 2 is a fixture of the Walmart bargain bin.
Nice. Does it actually have all the levels?
Aside from New York and Haven.
and those will be a $10 upgrade on the 26th right? its getting easier to buy, but not easy yet...
So the rebranding/repackaging is just in name and the current client and data persists, right? The repeated resetting of progress has been the most annoying part of this odyssey.
Pretty sure its just the current version of Hitman 3 being renamed. 1 and 2 are being delisted and 3 is being treated as a single game with 22 maps (plus bonus content like sniper mode.
>The repeated resetting of progress has been the most annoying part of this odyssey.
Repeated? It only happened from 1 to 2 didn't it? Which was definitely annoying but understandable considering IO's situation at the time.
There are a couple of things that didn't persist even if you did an account transfer from 2 to 3. For instance, there basically all of the mission stories are unchecked. You still get the associated challenges but if you want the game to show you that you've actually completed them you need to do them again. Another annoyance was the constant fricking resetting of the leadeboards. I get why they had to do it but it just doesn't feel great if you come back to the game and all your legitimate top 100 runs are gone while the same fricking 3 cheating c**ts get their top spots back immediately.
eh I never cared about leaderboards anyways because they are platform specific
They're cool if you have friends playing those games as well because the competition doesn't just consist out of a bunch of cheaters and autists.
>Unlock location specific suit that looks real cool
>Gloveless version is still location-specific
This upsets me far more than it should. They really should have made the gloves a toggle. Or just given you both variants.
i'm not a big fan of autistic speedrun strats but I've always liked the simplicity of this kill
its a good one
Cmon man act your age. What are you, 46? 48?
Always online is the biggest cancer. You don't realize how moronic it is until you have to wait minutes to save or load because the server is being fricky, or the game drops connection for some reason, despite you still having internet. Shit's frustrating.
>go to save
>loads for a full minute for no fricking reason before I can pick a slot
yeah... I can't even argue with that
Always online should have just been a requirement if you want to be displayed on the leaderboards. The game would still track your personal times but they would just be shown on an offline leaderboard instead so you can easily keep track of your PBs.
Man who gives a SHIT about leaderboards
I do. Next question.
god i wish that were me
I don't know if I can keep doing Bangkok to get full mastery. The map is fricking atrocious, essentially requiring you to always get the master keycard and destroying the evidence, which takes time, and then there is always back and forth between the two sides of the map. I want that silence pistol thing. I know you can get it easily through arcade stuff, but I looked and it's all new maps to me and I don't want my first experience with them being side content.
it's a terrible map
shit vertical design, the half of the hotel where jordan is doesn't even feel like a hotel and there's almost 0 mobility over there, the other target is just boring
I'm currently going through the WoA trilogy (at Hitman 2 atm) and Bangkok is definitely the worst map by far.
the worst part about bangkok is that if you want to get SASO only using fibre wire it's going to be a b***h just to get to cross' suite at the top. this map clearly wasn't designed with SASO in mind. I mean there are ways to do it but yeah it's more than a little annoying.
What's with the ghost laughter in Beldingford Manor? Who is it from? Is there actually a ghost there?

There is ghost laughter heard in many places inside the Manor. It's also a female voice. Who is it?

They're generally dogshit. I got the ducky sniper and screwdriver and haven't done one since. Literally the only one I remember being decent was one where it was a sort of makeshift sniper assassin on mendoza, where you knocked targets into the boxes of leaves
It's over
How do I get good? I feel like I’m just following whatever the frick diana says right now. Currently on Sapienza, beautiful map.
Gotta come to understand what the game is about and then learn the limits of your tools.
Is it advisable to do the map over and over for my first playthrough? I’m way more interested in the plot right now for some reason but at the same time I do want more gadgets and shit.
I don't think there's a right answer there. If you just run through it all you'll get the casual experience of bumbling through and discovering. If you focus on finishing each step you'll get over the first hump of skill pretty quickly and you'll approach everything afterward differently, more optimized, searching for what you know to expect rather than discovering something new.
Is nuHitman actually good?
Yes, and by now there are offline mods for elusive targets etc. which was a major bummer before
If you grab H3 before the 26th of Jan you'll get the standard missions from H1+H2 on the 26th for free, I advise buying from some keyseller site if you decide to
