I personally paid for the Anthony Martinez (Devil) suit, full access, and future-proofing. I don’t really care too much about the rest beyond being a completionist.

Based on the fact that the standard ICA19 is an unlock right next to it I’d say that this is an oversight and/or a bug.

Perhaps, it’s all in the air really it’s just odd since the two other have exclusive weapon unlocks, yet this one doesn’t.
This is similar to my attitude when I realized IOI just really are bad at communicating their packages. I basically see if there’s anything in there I need and just move on to get it or just settle for the base package.
It’s like if your favorite musical artist has bad speech stutter. You eventually go: “Stop telling me what your music is about… Just play the music I’ll love it if I do. Thanks.”
Where you have Featured Contracts Track menu i have Escalations Track menu…
And i dont have featured contracts menu…wtf.
Pc/Epic Games/ Deluxe Edition
I get paid tomorrow and thinking of picking this game up since it’s reviewed well (my stop pre-ordering new years resolution is doing me well) and I can wait a few weeks for the Hitman 2 levels.
What I’m struggling with is that I legitimately can’t decide if this deluxe edition is worth the cost though.
Well as a breakdown for you.
-
2 Exclusive Guns
-
3 Exclusive Containers
-
3 Exclusive Suits
-
6 Deluxe Escalations (3 Currently
-
Director Commentary
-
Digital Soundtrack across for the whole trilogy.
-
Digital Artbook of the whole Trilogy

Challenges are shown when you’re in the mode where you can unlock them. So to see Contracts challenges you need to go to Game Modes - Contracts - Challenges and select a contract. If you’re in the Destinations tab, you see the Escalation challenges instead.

That is quite nice and clear thanks.
The biggest selling points for me are the directors commentary (I love listening to things like that), soundtrack and escalations I guess.
You forgot the digital artbook. 
And I suspect hope that the other three escalations also come with suits…

I’m gonna assume the Golden Dax being advertised as Unlock-able for Featured Contracts is just a error on IO’s part if the generic ICA 19 is advertised as well so I submitted it to the bug report thread.

Unless there is a DLC level or levels later on that Deluxe gets at no extra charge, the deluxe package was mostly a way to throw some extra coin at IO. Based on the comments before launch of “just some suits and an escalation set” I kinda figured everyone already knew that.

Yeah this time it was relatively clear, for IO communication standards, what to expect from Deluxe. We had whole threads discussing if suits and escalations are worth it. Strange that people still expected more.
Has to be a bug, since the biggest one for 40 completed doesnt even grand you anything.
Nobody kinda mad that the unlocks weapons, gadgets ect. are the f-ing same as in hitman 2016 and hitman 2. Pretty much all is a reskin of new stuff, just a camera witch brings nothing to the table… And after a rocky start, Epic only and the promise that the player could acces this all from the start im left feeling that this a kinda dlc in disguise. I say this with a bleeding fanboy hart, i feel the wink to the past in the levels but straight up copy old 47 back from the dead trick feels cheap. Especially if you dont get anything new to unlock, feels like paying for a bag of air…(deluxe items not all accessible day 1) If you didn’t play the first two games then you get more bang for your buck… It sad to see that one of my personal favorite gamedeveloper doesnt give back to the loyal fans.
More people feeling like this…

Honestly I am not. I’m also a fanboy but here I am not just blindly defending IO. There wasn’t much in terms of gameplay between 1 and 2 so I didn’t expect more from 2 to 3. Going way way back there wasn’t much more in terms of gameplay between H2SA and Contracts. I love the games so I’m happy to pay for 6 new levels to finish off the trilogy. Oh and the deluxe stuff was discussed ad nausea so I won’t go over that stuff again.
Not to mention this usually assures you have a smooth ride everytime there is Access Pass/Legacy Pack procedures. The basic safety in these things is to “own everything”. Lol.

While it’s a bit disappointing to learn that H3 has “Mk III” stuff if that’s what you’re saying, the core of HITMAN ever since the very first game has always been mission gameplay and maps.
And the core gameplay has improved over the years and the maps are just getting better every time.
I guess in the future they need a team dedicated to Gear and Weapons like EA did for MEDAL OF HONOR games if we want to see more development there.
yeah i get your point, but think of the possibilities with other gear like a MK sleeping gas or what ever, we getting three games long the same stuff… kruger gold- kruger silver etc etc I think its a missed opportunity to make the options to kill greater…Of course there are good changes and tweaks to the gameplay but for me feels ot more like a update/dlc then a full game. In the run to hitman 3 i went for the communty/featured contracts, the unlocks/rewards are now lock behind escalation missions i think this is strange. In the last two games i put in 500 hours now im only going for SA/SO prof, and master, nothing more to use differently or in new ways…
