HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Platform: PS4 - Digital

Location: Singapore (The Pen and the Sword)

Description: Pure Poetry: Complete all The Pen and the Sword Challenges trophy has not carried over from HITMAN™ 2 to HITMAN™ 3. I have played through the level and also tried completing a challenge (even though they are all already completed) but it hasn’t prompted it to pop. My PSN username is ProtestTheBeero.

This is still an issue 6 months after release, and other users have reported the same. Is anything being done to address this?

Hi, I’m new on here. Having the same issue with all three sniper assassin maps. Done a carry over from Hitman 2 to 3 and this is the only information that didn’t carry over. Have played all three maps and each time I get the same message “Complete this mission to be listed on the leaderboard”. Reluctant to do another carry over (if still possible) as have already made a start on the main story of the game. Is this a known bug or is there a simple fix? Platform: PS4 disc

Hi, Well it’s certainly a known bug as far as the users are concerned at least, as this bug has been present since day 1. Yet IOI are still not acknowledging it in the Known Issues page.
@Travis_IOI , please can we get some kind of confirmation that this issue is going to be fixed?. Sniper Assasin game mode is a great mode, but for some users (such as myself) it just does not save the score to the leaderboard.

Location: Elusive Twins in Sapienza

Description : Twins won’t spawn in the level, tried restarting several times. Tried several outfits/ mission ways. I’m on PC and have the Hitman 3 GOTY edition pass. Later searched the whole level area nowhere to be found.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the twins elusive target mission
  3. Try to walk-up to their spawning point near the harbour

Frequency : A lot of times


Add-on description:

I bought the Hitman GOTY edition via EPIC, I can access hitman 1,2,3 via HItman 3. However most levels have problems.

E.g. in Paris - The Showstopper mission I can’t show my invitation, I can’t find any poison in the whole level. Something isn’t going well.

I am aware that this has been mentioned before. But after researching and seeing that this has been an issue since launch (7 Months ago) and it still has not been fixed, while more “BUY ME” content is being released, it is beyond aggravating.

I did not perform the transfer of data as I only Played Hitman 1 and I did not play Hitman 2 despite owning it. Started fresh with HM1 and HM2 through HM3.

PLATFORM: PS5/DISC
LOCATION: Sapienza/Landslide

DESCRIPTION: “The Gig is Up” Assassination is not tracking as complete while the “Stage Fried” Mission Story does track.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Attempt to complete “The Gig is Up” assassination on landslide.

FREQUENCY: Every Attempt

Hi, thanks for the reply and raising this issue again with IOI. Hopefully it does get fixed as it’s frustrating not not seeing the scores on the leaderboard and comparing against friends.

The Train Surfing trophy will not unlock even though I have completed all challenges and have unlocked all other remaining trophies for the location. This is the last trophy I need for the platinum World of Assassination trophy! I enjoyed Hitman 3 so much, I went back and bought the first one to play in H3, and plan on getting Hitman 2 after completion too. Thanks team! I have noticed several fixes already which have polished the project to near perfection. I can’t wait to see where this goes in the future.

So this has lasted for a while but when I play the Mumbai mission on hitman 3 the “hunted” icon when it comes up will automatically start glitching like crazy causing everything to fade in and out

The wall on the staircase is glitchy, threw a screwdriver to cause distraction and it got stuck there could not pick it back up despite it being visible no even a prompt or anything.

  2. Pacified the Security Guard next to Sweater Employee dragged him up the stairs nexts to the “aforementioned wall” somehow he’s body glitched and got stuck in the wall.

Description: NPC Derek McInnis
Not sure whether this is intentional but I’ve noticed that the Kronstadt science Derek McInnis doesn’t not consider you trespassing when you are in the Kronstadt Hallways but he’s college and fellow scientist does and I’ve tried this with 47’s suits and while disguised as a member of the PRESS.

Steps To Reproduce: N/A

Frequency: Always

Description: Pistol Glitch
There’s a glitch with 47’s ICA Pistol which sometimes causes his shooting hand to get stuck and a downward position and you can’t shoot, drop or reholster the pistol for a few seconds

Steps To Reproduce: N/A

@FXODIE95, I have gotten this from time to time with various firearms for years, I think since Hitman 1 on two different PCs. To fix it I hit Escape to pause the game, then Shift-Tab to see Steam’s overlay and then go back to the game. Occasionally I would alt-tab to another program then go back and that would fix it. Maybe you can pull up a PS4 main overlay menu and then go back to the game to replicate my fix.

I’ll try I mean don’t know where to start but I’ll do some digging to see how I can do these overlays… not a tech guy by any means :sweat_smile:


The TAC-4 S/A is still in my loadout from a previous playthrough…


…but It is NOT in my Inventory to be added to an Agency Pickup…


…but I can load it into a game, and take it out of the briefcase…


…and I can drop it to show that it is a TAC-4 S/A…


…and it still shoots tangos just dandy, but not on any new mission loadouts

This is really helpful! I just start pressing all the controller buttons like crazy until it works :laughing:
I’ll have to try the overlay method, thanks!

For the ‘I can’t shoot’ bug, since it usually happens when you really need to shoot someone, If you find it not working, quickly hit the PS4 equivalent of ‘Escape’ (bringing up the save/load/restart menu) and THEN do your button-mashing / overlay-menu-enabling, so you have less time in game to be spotted trying to shoot something.

Annoying bug I’ve encountered on Isle of Sgail is that there’s two elite guards that patrol the area in a pair, around the chapel and funeral area I think, which immediately aggro on you if they enforce you

Platform: PC
Location: Every map
Description: Sounds Bug

There is a lot of objects that doesnt produce sounds when hit somebody with.

Mad light/shadow flickering happens on all maps after the new Nvidia drivers were released. Hawke’s Bay and Whittleton Creek are unplayable.
