H3 Pre-Launch Guide (Progression Carryover)

I was wondering same. Did people obtain their Black Coat and ICA Performance coin via transfer in H3?
EDIT: Yes, they did apperantly (pic from wiki)

It makes me wonder if you will be able to obtain these items in H3 outside transfer progress :thinking:

Yes i noticed that i miss requiem pack too.

I have these items, but I will say it now I don’t agree with with making them unlock-able since they were exclusive to people who played 2016.

ICA Performance Coin was for the first ever Elusive Target Cycle in the Trilogy.

And the Black Winter Suit is for anyone who completed a Elusive Target in HITMAN 2016.

It’s one of those you had to be there items and it shows you’ve been there since 2016, it’s nothing more than status items. The description for these items even promote them as Exclusive.

Everything else on that list fair game though.

Finally got the transfer to go through from Steam to Epic. Started playing Dubai level for 5 min and then got kicked off the server and unable to connect… Totally carved out some of my very limited video game playing time today to play Hitman and can’t even enjoy it now…

Literally the same for the Ghost Mode suit.

The Phantom Suit will be implemented in through a different way this has been confirmed months ago.

Good news: Progression carryover listed as “finished” :slight_smile:
Bad news: I still can’t connect to the PS4 server :frowning:

I can’t connect either so I assume they’re down.

Yeah I know, I mean it would be cooler to keep it exclusive for those that enjoyed or grinded the ghost mode in H2 :wink:

Guess my obssesive pedantry won’t be satisfied completely :weary:

Ah noted, I don’t know. The Phantom Suit is different compared to the HITMAN 2016 Exclusive Items. The issue is with the Phantom Suit stems from it being literally unobtainable due to Ghost Modes shutdown so it would be fair for them to implement it into HITMAN 3.

Comparing it to the 2016 Items they are the definitive early adopter items and should be in my own opinion remain that way. I was always open to the idea of making reskins for HITMAN 2 and for HITMAN 3, but making the 2016 Items available would ruin the purpose behind obtaining the items in the first place.

Yes, I get the “I want it all” mentality with this game, I’ve came to the understanding that everyone won’t get everything a long time ago. It’s a shitty thing to say, but and excuse my brash way of saying this, but not everyone should be entitled to Early Adopter stuff.

But, as I said above we should have a reskins of sorts for HITMAN 2 and 3 for these type of items.

I somewhat agree, though they could’ve handled it similarly to H2. Progression transfer didn’t really exist back then but they were still able to check your progress from H1. I don’t know why the same couldn’t have been applied again without this whole web-based transfer process. :man_shrugging:

Sadly, the fact that you can only transfer progress once per platform suggests that this whole thing is way more complicated than we like to imagine.

This was done through your IOI Account if I recall. As for progression transfer at the time IOI didn’t really have the resources nor chance to do it. This has been iterated on numerous times before in the past. We don’t know the exact reasons though.

I understand and respect your opinion.
Speaking of reskins, I’m little dissapointed that MK II weren’t remodeled in H3. I know it’s a big meme, but I just really don’t like them and I would prolly only kept MK II briefcase as memento of past mistakes.

But these will be unlockable or not? I want every item i can get in Hitman 3 and it doesn’t help that things present in Hitman 2 will not be available for us in H3

They aren’t a challenge unlock, they were specifically awarded to people who met the criteria. The only reason people such as myself have it in HITMAN 3 is cause we met these criteria.

I can’t comment on that, what is the requirement for it in HIII? Is it that easy? They said they’d make it challenging, but I guess most achievement implementations in Hitman are either easy to get or tedious.

Yeah, I understand where you’re coming from, and if people enjoy it, by all means give them the Phantom Suit. I do not feel “exclusive” for having it, nor would I get any gratification out of that, but even though I’ve never been a huge fan of Ghost Mode, keeping this Suit reward as a nod to the experiment that this mode was and the people that participated in it, would have been a way of showing respect towards it.
I disliked the way Ghost Mode was terminated way more than I disliked the mode itself. Now that they even “untied” the unlock from it (it no longer is the Ghost Mode suit, it is the “do X in Hitman III suit” now), it’s like spitting on its grave.
That sounded waaay more theatrical than I mean it, but I guess you get the point.

Exactly, it’s why I will be okay with the Phantom Suit being unlockable for everyone, but not be okay with the the Legacy Reward Items being available to everyone. It’s gonna disrespect the people who played since the very beginning more than anything since we stuck with IO through the controversy behind a Episodic Release before GOTY happened.

It sounds like I’m just being entitled, but it’s not. I just view it as you have had to be there type of thing since it essentially is a thank you from IO for trusting their concept.

I don’t see a difference to the Phantom Suit to be honest. You had to be there at that time, you supported the mode.
