Cold, calm and calculated,... # 3.260.1 | Season of Patient Zero Requiem ### Intro Welcome to the Season of Patient Zero Requiem Patch Notes for HITMAN World of Assassination. A new formidable foe awaits 47 in our latest Elusive Target mission: Lilith Devereux – played by the one and only Milla Jovovich. Cold, calm and calculated, the incoming CEO of Ether Biotech Corporation will go head-to-head with 47 - and pose not only potentially the biggest threat yet to our master of assassination, but also to mankind itself! In addition to the new Elusive Target, we will also welcome a new themed DLC pack, a new roadmap with new challenges, ET re-runs, IOI Account rewards, Twitch Drops and more. ![](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/2/8/2832f772e95ea2e4b551638e4ec296e50706e9d5.jpeg) ### PATCH DETAILS **HITMAN World of Assassination** will be updated to version **3.260.1** on all platforms; PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, Nintendo Switch™, Nintendo Switch 2™ and Mac (new!).

With the **Free Demo** (formerly known as Free Starter Pack) players will have a chance to experience this new Celebrity Elusive Target through a two-level Arcade contract, The Contagion, featuring Milla Jovovich as Lilith Devereux. Upon failure, progress will restart from the first level, and the contract will be on a cooldown for 30 minutes until the player can attempt to play the contract again. The original ‘one chance only’ Elusive Target will only be available to World of Assassination players.

Bruce Lee** The undisputed GOAT of martial arts is back. Agent Lee needs the help of our favorite bald assassin to infiltrate Concord Union and eliminate the Dragon Head, Jiaolong Wu.

During the initial rollout, we unfortunately had to disable Cross-Progression for Nintendo accounts due to last-minute technical issues. We’re delighted to announce that with the 3.260.1 update, Cross-Progression now supports Nintendo accounts - with a small caveat. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the following achievements **may not** automatically sync upon choosing your Nintendo Account as your Active Account, and will need to be re-earned to unlock: - The Creative Assassin - Top of the Class - A New Profile - Tools of the Trade - Unseen Assassin - Stylish Assassin - Bullet Train - Seven Figures - Hawkeye - In a League of Their Own - Never Knew What Hit Them - Silent Sniper For a more detailed breakdown on how to enable Cross-Progression, and a step-by-step guide, please check out the initial rollout [blog post](https://ioi.dk/hitman/blogs/2026/cross-progression-is-available-now-on-hitman-woa-and-new-look-to-ioi-account) on our dedicated [support page](https://ioisupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/32645592211229-HITMAN-World-of-Assassination-Cross-Progression-Guide). We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are also very confident that our best agents in the field (that’s you!) will be able to re-earn the achievements/trophies in no time. We will leave you to prepare. **IMPROVE\*\*\*\*MENTS** **Geary-Go-Round** We have combined the two Thematic Gear Walls in the Freelancer Safehouse back into one by adding the ability to scroll through the different “pages” of weapons. [https://cms.ioi.dk/media/n5clns2b/geary-go-round.gif?width=2560(image larger than 8 MB)](https://cms.ioi.dk/media/n5clns2b/geary-go-round.gif?width=2560) In addition to this, a third page has been added, which currently contains the Patient Zero Requiem DLC items. **The Elusive Range** We’ve added a new “Celebrity” category to the “Suits” menus. This contains all suits acquired or used in Celebrity Elusive Targets. **Too Many Voices In My Head** We have implemented Subtitle Speaker Indicators into “The Reflection”. Now, when Diana or Eminem are talking over the earpiece, their respective names will be shown if you have that option enabled. ### BUG FIXES As always, many of the fixes below were resolved thanks to reports made by the community. We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who continues to report issues they run into - stay vigilant! **FREELANCER** **GAMEPLAY** **Modern Alchemist** We fixed an issue where items found on Gear Walls could be duplicated if they were equipped then dropped in quick succession. **LEVEL DESIGN** **The Never-Ending Flame** We’ve fixed an issue with the hot tub cosmetic included in “The Drop Pack” where the crackling sound of the torches could be still heard after switching to another cosmetic. **UI** **Information Overload** We solved an issue where the walk speed indicator and vital info bar could overlap with one another. **CHARACTER ART** **Overdressed** We solved an issue where the Graffiti Hoody Suit and the Scrap Poncho Suit would clip with the camera whenever players would open a Stash Crate. **ALL PLATFORMS** **ENVIRONMENT ART** **Dinner Etiquette** We fixed an issue in “Embrace of the Serpent” where a plate in the village bar could appear on the floor. **A Bit of Polish** We’ve resolved various issues in “The Reflection” relating to floating props and clipping geometry. **LOCALIZATION** **Rosetta Stone** We added the localization of the Tournament Judge’s outfit in The Infiltrator, which only appeared in English. **CHARACTER ART** **Cheap Fabric** We fixed an issue in “The Reflection” where Iris’ tie was using the incorrect texture. **He Was So Dapper, The Game Swooned!** We have fixed an issue in Chongqing, where putting on a facility analyst disguise could sometimes (although rarely) cause a crash when standing in the rain. Additionally, in VR, the disguise now correctly hides 47’s head and lower body. **LEVEL DESIGN** **Echo Chamber** We solved an issue in the “The Reflection” where a guard located in the garage area could sound echo-y when speaking to the morgue doctor. **Lunar Eclipse** We fixed an issue on the Isle of Sgàil where standing on a specific spot of the armory roof would result in rendering issues of the map. **Stealth 101** We fixed an issue in Mendoza where 47 could use benches to blend in even if he had illegal items visible on their back, which alerted nearby NPCs. **Doorman Davis** We solved an issue in Mendoza where players would be able to dump bodies through the walls of the silos near the Gaucho sniper spot. **The Red Weed** We fixed an issue in Dubai where the vine leading from the Private Bar area was too short to climb up to the balcony above. **Nothing To See Here** We fixed an issue in Dubai where pulling an NPC from the balustrade in the Penthouse Reception area would count as a Body Hidden, despite landing in front of other NPCs. **Ready for Takeoff** We fixed an issue in Bangkok where a female NPC would magically float in the air. **Pick up the Pace!** We fixed an issue where guards could suspend their routine if they were “lured” to frisk Agent 47 from outside the regular “frisk zone”. **Too Slow!** We solved an issue where picking up an inconspicuous device right when an NPC would do so could lead to the item appearing back in Agent 47’s hand, duplicating it in the process. **Wine Addict** We fixed an issue in “The Farewell” in Mendoza where a guard would teleport inside the Grand Paladin room if an item was thrown inside and triggered the alarm. **Raisin Hell** We fixed an issue in Mendoza where NPCs could die if they bent over near stacked containers of grapes. **Phantom Limb** We fixed an issue where yukata disguises and all yukata-wearing male NPCs had a part of their left leg clip through the robe as they moved. **Blue 80. Hut. Stuck!** We fixed an issue in Ambrose Island where 47 could get stuck after climbing through a window in one of the huts. **Failed Barista** We fixed an issue in Marrakesh where the coffee-drinking animation of some NPCs would end prematurely and thus make it impossible to poison them. **Odd Job** We fixed an issue in Whittleton Creek where 47 was able to move a large painting found in the Wilson Property. **Special Treatment** We fixed an issue in Level 3 of “The Aelwin Augment” where players would not be awarded 5 stars if Finley was not pacified first. **We’ve Got You Covered** We have fixed various issues in “The Reflection” relating to missing or misaligned cover spots around doors, corners, and various objects. **Tattletale** We’ve fixed an issue in “The Reflection” where you could be unfairly spotted subduing the Doctor who reveals the “Face the Music” mission story. **Unintentional Karate Chop** We have resolved an issue in “The Reflection” where NPCs standing on the flat part of the winter garden stairs could be regarded as standing on the sloped part. This would cause a loud takedown to occur, even if the “Silent Attack” or “Subdue” prompt was visible. **GAMEPLAY** **Toxicus Instantus** We solved an issue in Colorado, for the Wicker Man challenge, where NPCs would not die immediately if they were made sick beforehand. **About Face** We solved an issue where certain disguises throughout the game could change 47’s facial features when worn. **New and Improved (Once Again)** We fixed an issue where the MK II ducks were missing the pink “2” sticker. **Diplomatic Briefcase** We fixed an issue where the Golden Briefcase would not open during the frisk animation. **Sisyphean Curse** We fixed an issue where NPCs would indefinitely try to pick up certain remote-activated items (such as explosives or gas devices) if they were detonated inside a briefcase or other container. **Boosted by Banana** We fixed an issue where if a guard slipped on a banana peel while approaching 47 performing a fake surrender, this could lead to 47 instantly teleporting next to the guard and performing a melee takedown. **SOUND DESIGN** **A Little Too Zen** We have fixed an issue in “The Reflection” where the doorway between the winter garden and the hospital corridor would block sound as if it was a solid wall. **PC VR & PS VR2 FIXES** **404 File Not Found** In Freelancer, we have fixed an issue where the item name and description of selected items could sometimes disappear when viewing the contents of a stash or supplier. **Livin’ Like Lalo** We have fixed an issue where you could no longer dump bodies into manholes after performing a save/load. While rare, this could also occur in the flat game. **Grip Training** We have improved closet interactions, making it easier to open them. **Mission Inaudible** We have fixed an issue in Dubai where the “How the Mighty Fall” mission story could not be revealed. **Handled Correctly** We have fixed several issues whereby equipping certain disguises would result in 47’s hands becoming disproportionate or his forearm becoming invisible. **iOS** **Only the Minimum** As per the last patch, we’ve made improvements to the patching process so that only new or changed data will be downloaded. This means players no longer need to re download the entirety of changed files. **Not What I Ordered** We have fixed an issue where if the Supersampling Technique was set to “MetalFX Temporal”, objects and surfaces on some maps could start “flickering”. ---

With so many ducks continuing to be added to the game (seemingly one per Celeb ET from now on), it would be nice if the tag system was updated to account for this: Remote/Proximity, Emetic, stuff like that on the tags so it’s easier to tell what the duck does. Like The Chainsaw Duck from The Reflection isn’t very clear it’s a proximity explosive. I wonder if they updated the Druzhina 34 ICA to not have the piercing and shockwave ammo in normal missions, or if that’ll be something they need to patch later like they did with the ICA Arctic. Overall some very solid stuff this time around, both free unlocks and Celeb DLC stuff! ---

New unlocks look fun. - Love an Anniversary nostalgia trip for the **Gloved Tactleneck**. It’s not the end of the game, so not a bookend, but close enough, and they are beloved to me. I wonder what time the challenge will demand. And if it will demand Silent Assassin. Second time Heisenberg gets his wish. Go him. - **Emetic Duck** won’t change anything in balance, but will interesting to play with. If only to change from the Durian. Will attract people to it too. Wonder if you can place it in bins. - **ICA Druzihuna** is neat. I don’t think it will retain its special ammo, especially the wall-piercing one. Would be fun if it’s equip with the shockwave one though. Those one are not game-breaking, and always fun to use. * * * Still holding hope for the ClassicStirker next time. Suppressd Stiker. ---

Glad I used this to cheese getting to Prestige level 10 in Freelancer before they patched it. Can’t imagine how tedious it would be doing it for real. ---

So far all is cool. Glad we get the Druzhina from Hantu Port ad an unlock! Hoping it can be used in Freelancer. ---

Is it just me or did they remove a lot of this info from the game update page? I love what I did see though! ---

New Freelancer packs panel. **Geary-go-around.** ![geary-go-round(1)](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/5/1/51bbf61d2ce9193a553b10c03203baacf01a7f23.gif) (gif size was too large for the main post, resized it) I presume with the upcoming Packs this year, a way to squeeze them all was necessary. I like it. I was afraid the packs were going to encroach to much too the point of overwhelming the place and its clean vibe. The two previous ones already were starting to be too much for me. ---

That feature is nice and welcome. I wonder if there’s potential to expand the other walls like this to incorporate more weapons not currently available in Freelancer. ---

Turtleneck w/gloves and ICA Druzhina have been long overdue. Now the Himmelstein version of the Sieger 2000 must join them asap. ---
