Hitman WOA - Challenge Ideas

Minnow · March 4, 2025, 11:18am

Challenge Name - Good Morning!

Type - Feat
Conditions:

Wake up Alma & Orson after they’ve gone to bed, by using Orson’s watch

Reward - Wristwatch Alarm

Mission - Nightcall, Hawke’s Bay

The watch (or this version of it anyway) is only found in this level, but has the extremely unique quality of being able to set it down and set a timer which will attract all nearby NPCs’ attention. This allows for some very neat setups where 47 can move after placing it, and it’s a shame it can only be used here and in New York! (where it has a gold-plated counterpart)

Challenge Name - Living Nightmare

Type - Assassination
Conditions:

Eliminate Craig Black in the crypt while wearing the Jack-o’-lantern Suit

Reward - Small Pumpkin (x3, like the muffin)

Mission - The Author, Sapienza

The small pumpkin is one of my favorite items in the game. It appears only in Orson’s nightmare, and I think that’s a shame. It’s a fun little item that makes me smile, and I’d like to have it with me :]

Something I would love to see added to the game are more suit starting locations, especially on maps that only have one unrestricted suit start (Whittleton Creek, New York, Dubai, Berlin). And so I came up with challenges which instead of item rewards, unlock the starting locations from Freelancer for use in other missions! It’s weird that the concept of unlocking starts from challenges was used so little in the trilogy (only on Sapienza, Marrakesh, and the Dartmoor Garden Show) and I’d love to see IO do more of them. I tried to make each challenge related to the starting location it unlocks as much as I could:

I would LOVE it if IO added Noel Crest to Colorado even if he has no dialogue, just have him standing around in the house.

Grim47 · March 17, 2025, 2:14am

I feel you could make this challenge a Paris one with Martinez and not have to backport the NPC. I like the idea, but it feels like the kind of work they’d do for an ET or escalation

Dribbleondo · March 17, 2025, 4:28am

If it helps, Crest is actually meant to be in the compound (he’s namedropped a few times by the militia).

They’ve added a cake to celebrate @Frote7’s wedding, so this isn’t too far removed from that.

Agent1980 · March 17, 2025, 12:44pm

I happen to know he’s also name dropped in Paris, just on the balcony where Martinez is as a matter of fact.

I didn’t know about Colorado though, do we know where/which NPC?

lukefsje · March 17, 2025, 1:39pm

The two guys in the North Orchard talking who start out with “So you’ve got your ex-military. Your mercenaries…” eventually reference Crest

Grim47 · March 17, 2025, 10:11pm

That’s true, tho I would just hope they dont make interfere with anything path wise as even the cake had to be patched to make it work in Freelancer

I am very impressed with the additional challenge of starting points and escape exits is a very good idea.
And after seeing it, I felt it might be a good idea to implement this challenge again.
In the HITMAN2 era, this challenge was just an Easter egg hint that was only laborious.
But if it is available as an exit anytime after you have achieved it once, then it might make sense to achieve this challenge as well.
I know there is a boat exit right next to me, but there may be days when I feel like escaping with a yellow umbrella, just because I feel like it that day.
Add to that again, and you may find a new use for the contracts as an escape route.

Name of challenge
Stalker’s excessive obsession
Type of challenge
Feats
Conditions of challenge
・Assassinate Heidi Santoro with an explosive device while disguised in stalker’s clothing.
・Hide Heidi Santoro’s body.
・Ensure that no one discovers the body until you hide it.
Mission
27Club
Reward
Hotel backyard exit

I would also like to see the addition of a Bangkok exit available in freelancer mode.
So I came up with this challenge.
I thought the challenge should be a bit more difficult, as I think it is the more advanced players who expect new exits to be added to Bangkok.

Mistaken Ninja
Type of challenge

Conditions of challenge
・Assassinate orson mills with a Japanese Katana or shuriken.
・Hide orson mills body.
・Ensure that no one discovers the body until you hide it.
・Do not let anyone find you until the Challenge is accomplished.
Mission
Nightcall
Reward
Car Exit

The Hawkes Bay exit is a little too far and inconvenient.
I thought it would be a little more convenient to add a car, which is the exit in the elusive target “politician”.
I think a semi-silent-assassin challenge would be just the thing to add a further outlet for Hawke’s Bay.

magicdave94 · March 22, 2025, 3:28pm

We definitely need this and other exit unlocks! Would really add so much QoL to some levels.

Hope you don’t mind but you inspired me to come up with a challenge idea for the car exit too…

— Carpool —

Condition :
• Eliminate Orson Mills by pushing him into the pool.
• Eliminate Alma Reynard by electrocuting her with the car battery.
Mission : Nightcall

Yellow_cat · March 22, 2025, 7:46pm

Wow, I didn’t know that IOI added your challenges to the game.

Agent1980 · March 22, 2025, 7:52pm

I can confirm they implemented some of my ideas, they care like that.

Yellow_cat · March 22, 2025, 8:18pm

After reviewing the challenges, I can say that most of them are photoshop geniuses. They can insert their challenges into the regular challenge lists.
