Welcome, it is always the last one you suspect. I spent an hour in Dartmoor trying to find who I had missed turns out it was a gardener.

I prefer Berlin than Chongqing (horror vibes vs SF vibes).
I can’t describe the level of excitement when I heard the techno zik from the outside.

The thing I really loved about this mission was 47 saying the agents names as he found them, made it so much more personal that the agents he actually knew betrayed him, crazy mission in my opinion this & Colorado feel the most “absolution” like of the WoA series but they’re done right, great final game from IOI

Am I the only one who triggered the lights without sabotaging whatever needs to be sabotaged? Got the challenge completed and all, lol.

The biker who answers the door when delivering food seems to have X-ray vision. I didn’t think there was anything wrong just leaving the delivery driver lying alone on the ground, but boy was I wrong.

Best mission of the game IMO. Enjoyed Hitman 3 as a whole, but if I have to rank the missions, this one was unique and the best.

This is the first mission in Hitman 3 that truly impressed me.

They somehow managed to make a map with ten targets extremely replayable and tons of fun. I was put off by how many targets there were at first. I thought it would be a quantity over quality kinda thing. But each target has one or two cool ways to take them out that just feel perfect. In my opinion, this is also the best map for sniper assassin. It almost feels like a sniper assassin map with how perfect it is and how many good shooting spots are available. What’s really cool though is how many non-sniper kills can be triggered with a sniper rifle, like the crane or the gas tank. But of course, all of the other kills are fantastic as well. The light rig explosion might be my new favorite in the trilogy.

Berlin also nails the setting and the atmosphere. The sections of it work super well together, especially the gang hideout and the club. I will say the canal and the woods areas aren’t really worth visiting too often, but they’re both well done and are good paths into other areas.

And finally, the music. Yes the club music rules, but just the mission music is very tense and ominous which fits very well.

I seriously have nothing negative to say about Berlin. It’s easily my favorite so far.

As a veteran HITMAN player, I’m still overwhelmed by Berlin on my 3rd playthrough.

And if there was ever a fire in this club, everyone would die as this part of the map is a goddamn maze.

I do love this map to death though, I just need to learn a lot more about it.

SF?

I think that’s short for sci-fi

Just started this mission today and did it a few times. I really think the permanent door unlock by the entrance makes it a bit too easy to get in, though I guess it really just saves time with the drug guy so maybe it’s too easy in general.

Other than that though I liked the level a lot. Great atmosphere, cool use of a new target idea (much better than the maelstrom) and some good map design. Kind of an easy SASO though given how much of the level you can use normal clothes in. Throw a few distractions and you’re good to go.

Anyway, easily my favorite of the first three.

Just finished my first playthrough of this, what a fantastic mission and location.

Up there with Sapienza possibly.

I definitely enjoy it the more I play it/ discover it.

I really enjoy this level too. I’m kindof playing this and Dartmoor alot since they’re the smallest levels and easiest to master. Saying that though, anyone think the mastery for this level is really slow? I’m only at 12/20, and I swear I think I’ve done literally have the challenges for this mission already. Seems really slow, same with Dartmoor to a lesser extent. Feels like I’ll need to do almost all the challenges before I get full mastery.

I’ve heard that if 47 do a kill everyone run. The handler Jiao will try to contact with her team and beg for anyone to take the earpiece and response. Can anyone confirm that if this is true or am I being duped?

You have to do almost all the challenges now because there aren’t 3 copies of the “classics” giving like 7 levels for a single SA run

If you search “HITMAN 3 kill everyone Berlin suit only” on Youtube the first two results (as of the time I write this) are a two part video. At 10:32 in the second part you’ll hear that Jiao does indeed have something to say about the evening’s events.
