I am on ps4 and I have lost 2 snipers rifle : the bartoli woodsman ica covert and the sieger 300 ghost. I can see them in Career but I can’t take them on a mission…wtf
Platform: PC Digital
Location: Chongqing
Description: I opened one shortcut door in Chongqing (Inner Courtyard) and unlocked the challenge for it, however whenever I replay the level, the door I opened (Inner Courtyard) remains closed and the other door (Elevator Shaft) I did not open is permanently open, making it impossible for me to get the challenge for opening that door (Elevator Shaft)
Steps to reproduce:
- Play through Chongqing for first time
- Open the Inner Courtyard shortcut (and unlock associated challenge)
- Finish the mission without opening the Elevator Shaft shortcut (Continuing through the story and doing the stuff with the data core)
- Replay Chongqing
- Inner Courtyard door is closed and Elevator Shaft door is open
Frequency: Every time I launch Chongqing since the first time as mentioned above.

How are you trying to take them into the mission?
Often when people have this complaint, it’s because they’re trying to carry them in on their own or smuggle it into a Hidden Stash, both of which only allow small items. (And large items will simply not show up in the inventory you have to choose from.)
In order to smuggle in a sniper rifle or other large weapon/item, you have to use a smuggling location that is labeled as an Agency Pickup or, if you’re wearing a suit, carry it in a briefcase/container.
I can’t put them in a briefcase in my load out : they won’t appear when I want to take a sniper.
Ah, it probably is a bug then. 
Hopefully, they’ll get it resolved for you.

Hitman 3 bugs introduced by the March 30 Patch.
NEW INVENTORY & UNLOCK BUGS
1) I am unable to unlock the Remote Semtex Demo Block MK III & the Sieger 300 Sniper Case because I completed the Tier 3 & 4 challenges for Featured Contracts - Track 2 before the February Patch.
Some players (like myself) replayed the featured contracts located in the ICA Facility, which counted towards the Track 2 challenges.
Before the February Patch corrected this, replaying these contracts 40 times would complete all of the Featured Contracts - Track 2 challenges. Problem was, Tiers 3-5 were missing unlocks at the time and therefore rewarded nothing upon completion.
Even though the Remote Semtex Demo Block MK III was retroactively added to the Tier 3 challenge & the Sieger 300 Sniper Case was added to the Tier 4 challenge, both unlocks were NOT retroactively added to player inventories who had already unlocked these challenges.
[ SEMTEX DEMO MK III STILL BUGGED ]
Here is an image of Tiers 3 & 4 complete on my profile.
However, observe how the associated unlocks are missing from my inventory.
2) The inventory images for the Taunton Dart Gun & Sieker-1 are glitchy. They are corrupted or somehow accidentally linked. They appear to randomly share the same image when viewed in the career inventory menu.
[ PATCHED ]
Sometimes both weapons use the Sieker-1’s inventory image.
Other times, both pistols use the Taunton’s inventory image.
Old Hitman 3 bugs still present after the March 30 Patch.
UNLOCKABLE EQUIPMENT BUGS
1) Claw Hammer & Jaeger 7 Covert are missing from location mastery, escalation rewards, and featured contract challenges. They are impossible for new players to unlock.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
2) Tier 5 for Featured Contracts - Track 2 is still missing its reward.
[ PATCHED ]
INVENTORY MENU UI BUGS
1) The inventory image for the Masamune uses a generic katana. It should be updated to reflect its beautiful in-game model.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
2) I’ve reported this for a couple of years now, but the Small Goldbar is STILL incorrectly placed as the only melee item in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu. It should be organized next to the other melee items in the Weapons section of the Inventory Menu like it is during missing planning.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
Observe how the Small Goldbar is next to the other melee unlocks in the Weapons section of the menu during mission planning, which is CORRECT:
Now observe how the Small Goldbar is the only melee weapon in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu in the Career Tab, which is WRONG:
3) The inventory images for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II & ICA Remote Explosive MK III are incorrect because they don’t resemble their unique in-game models. As a result, it’s hard to tell them apart in the inventory menu at first glance.
[ PATCHED ]
The inventory image for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II:
Now compare that to the in-game model for the ICA Remote Explosive MK II:
The same applies to the ICA Remote Explosive MK III. Here is its inventory image:
Now observe the very different in-game model for the ICA Remote Explosive MK III:
4) The Number Six With Gloves has the wrong inventory description. It’s reusing the one for the Ashen Suit With Gloves.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
5) The HWK21 Pale is still missing the “Steady Aim” attribute icon when viewed in the inventory menu.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
WEAPON PERFORMANCE BUGS
1) The ICA Woodsman Rifle Covert & The Golden Dragon sniper rifles are both listed as having the “Piercing” attribute but neither can penetrate bodies. This was listed as fixed for the ICA Woodsman in the March 2021 Patch Notes, but this is wrong and both rifles still need to be fixed.
[ PATCHED ]
2) The Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic no longer has the slow-mo ability, but the weapon still has the “Marksman” attribute listed. I believe this was done in error after removing the wallbang ammo.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
3) There are several melee weapons that are missing their sounds when you attack an NPC. After extensive testing, these are the buggy melee weapons that emit no audible noise when used:
- Antique Curved Knife
- Meaty Bone
- Sacrificial Knife
- The Black Almond’s Dagger
- Handyman Wrench
[ STILL BUGGED ]
IN-GAME MISSION BUGS
1) Pushing Robert Knox onto Sierra Knox’s car results in a “Non-Target” kill and voids SA. This is the “Tree Falls on the Apple” assassination challenge which worked correctly in Hitman 2. Here’s a video of the glitch.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
2) During the Ark Society, Lucas Grey is missing during the cutscene that plays when selecting the Harbor starting location.
[ STILL BUGGED ]
3) During the Gilded Cage, the Prisoner disguise is missing its hood.
[ PATCHED ]
4) Agent 47’s head constantly clips through the hood of The Arkian Tuxedo on every map.
[ PATCHED ]
5) The White Shadow Suit from the Deluxe Edition has several unique “attributes” which significantly changes its behavior compared to the other starting suits. I don’t know which of these are intentional and which ones are bugs, so I will list all that I’ve encountered:
- Cannot be frisked. [PATCHED]
- Unable to use invites to enter invitation-only areas. [PATCHED]
- Turns all of Hokkaido into a Hostile Zone. [NOT A BUG]
- Reduces Agent 47’s total health. [PATCHED]
Whatever IOI decides to do, I want to emphasize that the ninja-related NPC dialogue is simply wonderful. And if the suit is tweaked, I hope the ninja dialogue is kept.
[ PATCHED ]
6) The Exit Music has trouble playing when finishing escalations or user contracts on several maps, especially if you exit quickly. This most prominently occurs on Miami’s user contracts.
[ PATCHED ]
MISSION MENU UI BUGS
1) All three Bonus Missions for Hitman 1 are labeled as “Seasonal Content” in mission planning instead of “Bonus Mission.”
[ PATCHED ]
2) After finishing “The Final Test,” there is no next mission on the debrief screen to continue the story (even when H1 & H2 are downloaded). “The Showstopper” should be suggested next to continue the campaign.
[ NOT A BUG ]
3) On the stats page, the little rectangle-like shapes that represent your mastery level become unlit after you unlock 100% of the challenges for that location.
[ STILL BUGGED ]

Description : Bullet Train wont unlock for killing a guard with a silenced pistol, shotgun and smg. Also, challenge for finding a shotgun.
Frequency : NOONE has earned this trophy since the March 30 Patch. (Except those who auto-popped the trophy from having it unlocked on Hitman 3 on another platform)
Every time the trophy requirements are completed it does not work.
I did the following steps:
- Re-do the required steps for the trophy; get the 3 kills over and over, from different checkpoints, in different orders, and wearing different outfits.
- Reinstall the game and repeat the previous step.
- Try with a different account on my ps5.
(At this point I asked IOI to delete all my saved data.)
- Re-do the required steps for the trophy.
- Try with a different account on my ps5.
- Reinstall the game and try the previous 2 steps.
(At this point I figured it may be my ps5 that is having an issue interfacing with the game in some way)
- Reformatted My ps5 to factory settings and reinstall game.
- Redo the required steps for trophy.
- Try with a different account on my ps5.
Nothing seemed to work. I believe the issue seems to be with the game recognizing that you picked up a shotgun. I also noticed that EVERY kill you get with a shotgun on that level the game auto saves. Even if you turn auto save off, you still get the notification that the game saved, even if it didn’t.

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\IO Interactive\HITMAN3 is a file called ShaderCache.bin
I am having this exact problem as well.
I also tried picking up different shotguns in case there was one that isn’t glitched, but that didn’t work either.
Platform: PS4 - Disc
Location: Carpathian Mountains
Description** : After the latest patch (1.04), two trophies are Broken, unobtainable. Those trophies are Bullet Train (Take out a guard with a silenced pistol, with a shotgun and with an SMG.)
and Train Surfing (Complete all Untouchable Challenges). The issue with the challenges trophies is that Got My Boomstick challenge can’t be completed.
EDIT. Also i noticed that every time i kill a guard with the Shotgun, the game is saving. It is not doing that when killing with the SMG and the Silenced Pistol
Frequency : It ALWAYS happen after installing the latest patch

Description: When 47 hides behind this corner, his legs clip into the ground.
Location: Mumbai
NPCs can (consistently) see through this wall (or perhaps where the floor meets the wall) above a cloth salesman’s shop.
That’s not a bug, strangely enough that is the music which should play when exiting the Greed escalation without completing all objectives, no idea why it is playing there. It’s nothing wrong with your computer or account, I think the game is just confused with the escalation and main mission, so yes it’s a bug but not one which I think you can fix on your end.
The costume of the arkian tuxedo has clipping issues with 47s head. It appears to be a very glitchy suit
I am also having this problem on PC
Platform: PS5 Digital
Location: Carpathian Mountains (and Hitman 3 generally)
Description : ‘Bullet Train’ trophy will not pop despite meeting the requirements for the trophy (taking out a guard with a silenced pistol, a shotgun and a SMG). ‘Shortcut Killer’ trophy will not pop despite having all shortcuts open and unlocked. The last patch has not resolved this.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start the game
- Load Carpathian Mountains
- Take out a guard with a silenced pistol, a shotgun and a SMG. Tried throughout level and in rooms
- All shortcuts unlocked
Frequency : Always happens

Description : Issue “The Arkian Tuxedo” has clipping on the hood, outfit unlocked on map Isle of Sgail.
PS:
The issue that was causing clipping on the hood of the Elite Guard outfit in Isle of Sgail
was resolved with the HITMAN 3 – March Patch Update (3.20) but the issue persists with The Arkian Tuxedo.
