HITMAN 3 - Steam Release

A question to those who reviewed their H2 progress: Did your ICA Facility Mastery and XP progression show up like this as well?

Yep. I have no idea if it was supposed to, though.

Yep, exactly like that for me. :+1:

Best news I’ve heard all day, couldn’t care less about the existing EGS progress in H3 - I’ll gladly replay H3 levels on Steam and now there is a proper incentive to 100% them.

I mean, I knew I didn’t 100% H2 back in a day for nothing :joy:, all the items will still be unlocked in H3 on Steam :pray:

Very good news indeed.

Sup. Is it normal that the XP amounts of each location in the imported data do not at all match what the actual in-game XP is as displayed in H2? Profile level and mastery on each location is correct though, so maybe it doesn’t matter?

Haven’t gone through the last 100 posts, but just discovered it thankfully uses Steams existing entitlements system, so we all get H1 and 2 Access Pass on Steam even if we transferred it to Epic for 3

ICA Facility has no mastery

To those of you who have already done the progress transfer (on Epic). Does it also transfer stuff like failed/missed ETs, or only the location+challenge progress and unlocks (and completed FCs I assume)?

I donĀ“t really feel like I need to do the progress transfer, since IĀ“ve already reunlocked most of the stuff and I donĀ“t mind doing the rest (have to do those FCs anyway at some point). Only real incentive would be to get things like the Aluminium Travel Briefcase, Black (Mk. II) Winter Suit, Explosive Pen and LilĀ“ Flashy which as of yet have not been introduced as unlocks to H3…

Not Epic, but my experience on PS4 was: It transfers the ET specific completion and SA Challenges, but the front end UI doesn’t list them as Eliminated/Missed/Failed.

EDIT: Actually since the ETs have technically been run through already, the UI might actually list them as Missed for you. But you should still be able to attempt them if they’re reactivated again.

That’s because the ET status (whether you’ve played it or not) doesn’t carryover so you can replay them when activated in H3 even if you played them in H2.

Right. Status doesn’t, but the completed challenges do. That’s all I’m saying.

Ah, ok, cool. That“s what I needed to know, thanks.

In that case, I might actually do the transfer. I was worried whether it wouldn“t prevent me from playing the couple of ETs I messed up. Although given that the ETs will now be changed to the Arcade, it may not even be a concern. I“ll wait and see how the whole thing looks after the update today. Might give the transfer a go if there“s no sign of unlocking the items I mentioned.

Hopefully this is all irrelevant with the introduction of ET Arcade tomorrow. You’ll DEFINITELY be able to play them. The only question is rewards

Indeed indeed. Though if the upcoming patch doesn’t come with some much-needed bug/glitch fixes, I don’t really see myself playing all that much in the near future…

If I’m interpreting a tweet correctly, they hired someone to make some patch blog art again, and some fixes to Dartmoor are confirmed

That’s for another thread though

I have a question. What are the items, that are only available via progress transfer. What I mean with that is, that you have to unlock them in H2 and transfer it to H3. For example Lil’s flashy, ET challenge suits, etc. I just want check that I have everything before transferring my progress.

You don’t have to unlock anything specifically for carryover to be able to use items in the new game.
You can unlock everything in a new game after merging all 3 games up.
For Steam it should be automatically if you have previous games there.
But maybe ET suits are those items. Though I’m sure there will be ETs for HITMAN 3 on Steam so you won’t lose anything if you won’t do a carryover at all.
Carryover just frees you from gaining everything once again. There are no exclusive items tied to progress transfer

Ok that’s good to know. I just thought that there some challenge rewards that is only available in H2. I did all the ETs in H2 so that’s covered. :smiley:

For ET suits, maybe they won’t reactivate The Undying and The Undying Return, so you could miss out on Lil’s Flashy, Explosive Pen and the Florida Fit with Gloves, but I’m not entirely sure. I’m pretty sure they will reactivate other locations in the future again, so don’t have to worry about that.

The only unlocks that you cannot have in Hitman 3 (you have to have it in H2 and transfer to H3) are these things.
