The following weapons, gear items, and suits are only available to Hitman 3 players who used the progression transfer to import their inventory from Hitman 2.
Therefore, I have also included their unlock conditions in Hitman 2 for players who want to obtain them before transferring their data to Hitman 3. However, any items connected to Elusive Targets are no longer unlockable in Hitman 2 since they were time-sensitive content.
Regardless, none of the items listed below are currently unlockable for new players starting fresh in Hitman 3. I will update this post if Hitman 3 incorporates the following equipment through new challenges, additional Escalation tracks, and Elusive Target rewards.
1) – SEASONAL EVENTS
Although made permanent and still unlockable in Hitman 2, these seasonal missions and corresponding unlocks are missing from Hitman 3. My guess is that we’ll see their return later this year.
Tactical Wetsuit & Bat Shuriken
Halloween gave us “The Mills Reverie” and with it, two unlocks for playing and completing this Escalation: the location suit for Hawke’s Bay and a themed shuriken fit for a billionaire detective and crime fighter.
Snow Festival Suit & Ice Pick
Completing the “Snow Master” challenges introduced by the “Hokkaido Snow Festival” mission will reward players with a melee weapon and the jacket outfit 47 is wearing in the prologue.
Santa 47
Completing the “Secret Santa” challenge pack found in the Parisian “Holiday Hoarders” mission will allow 47 to dress up as Jolly Old Saint Nick and bring cheer to the good children of the world.
2) – LEGACY CHALLENGE PACKS
A most unusual omission, but two weapons from the Legacy Challenge Packs in Hitman 2 were not incorporated into the location mastery and escalation reward tracks like the rest. Hopefully IOI will rectify this in a future content update.
Claw Hammer
A reward for completing all of the “Plumber’s Apprentice” challenges in Sapienza.
Jaeger 7 Covert
A reward for completing the “Master Sniper” challenge pack in Sapienza.
3) – THE UNDYING UNLOCKS
Players were rewarded each time they killed (or attempted to kill) Sean Bean in Hitman 2. Like Gary Busey in Hitman (2016) and his absence in subsequent Elusive Target Reactivations, it’s highly unlikely we’ll be able to kill Sean Bean again. I hope the developers incorporate these into a future reward track.
Explosive Pen
Unlocked by playing “The Undying,” which was a time-limited Elusive Target starring Sean Bean. This unlock beat out two others in a community vote with 42% of the total vote. A couple of the choices were obviously inspired by James Bond. How apropos…
Lil’ Flashy
Unlocked by playing “The Undying Returns,” a time-limited Elusive Target starring Sean Bean again–although this time with only one eye. This robot flashbang was one of the runner-ups in the community vote.
In case you’re wondering, the third option in the community vote was the Earphones fiber wire, which is now an unlockable in Hitman 3. Interesting turn of events.
4) – ELUSIVE TARGET SUITS
While Elusive Targets are no longer running in Hitman 2, they are currently active in Hitman 3. Any suit missed in Hitman 2 should be unlockable in Hitman 3 once the corresponding map shows up in the ET rotation.
The suits listed here have not yet appeared as a reward in Hitman 3’s Elusive Target cycle. Although not confirmed by the developers, all ET Suits will most likely be unlockable as time goes on. And once enough contracts are activated, the milestone suits will be unlockable for the most punctual assassins.

5) – HITMAN (2016) LEGACY REWARDS
A couple of these might be the rarest unlocks around, and I expect them to stay that way. They are rewards for players who have been part of this World of Assassination since the very beginning.
Aluminum Travel Briefcase
I believe this briefcase is still unlockable as long as you own the original Hitman (2016) on your chosen platform. It should appear in Hitman 2 afterwards.
Black Winter Suit
This special variant of the Black Suit only appears if you completed an Elusive Target in the original Hitman (2016). These contracts (and reactivations) ran from Spring 2016 right up to the launch of Hitman 2 in late 2018.
ICA Performance Coin
Coming in at three variants (Commendable, Superior & Outstanding), this is the rarest unlock in Hitman. You were awarded this coin if you played, completed, or SA an Elusive Target during their very first run in Hitman (2016). This first run was made up of 26 Elusive Targets spread out between May 2016 and July 2017. Props to all those that have it!
