HITMAN 3 is a beautiful game with a lot of details, some are small and might go unnoticed. These details is part of what enriches the world 47 inhabits, making it believable and interesting to explore. You can use this thread to upload pictures of small details you found or know about. Some of them will be obvious, but it’s all part of celebrating the smaller things in the levels.

This is sadly a detail that doesn’t exist in the main game, but it exists inside the playable benchmark.

In HITMAN 3 IOI has retroactively changed small aspects of previous levels. One of these is the password dongle in Hawkes Bay. It has a new model.

You can see light through 47’s earlobes, when light is shining directly at them.

If I’m not remembering wrong, this was also in Absolution 😃

Wonder if _[o Knightz o](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDvGdlbHkYvW-fbXmXHfyXw)_ ever visits this place, he could make another Hitman 3 detail video 😁

I don’t have a screenshot or video, but in messing around in the Garden Show yesterday I ended up running to the boat exit, away from guards shooting at me. I noticed bullet hits in the water in front of me. I’d never noticed that in this game before and it was a nice touch.

(Does this happen in say Sapienza if you’re being fired at down on the beach? Santa Fortuna down by the docks or behind Rico’s mansion? Maldives?? I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this before.)

Oh I can post this over here too: In the Dartmoor Garden show, the little placards in the greenhouse are legible and accurate.

I like how the mansion guards in Santa Fortuna have sweat stains on their uniform. I never been to Colombia but whenever I play that level, I can feel the humidity. Realistically, their uniforms wouldn’t look flawless as they probably have been patrolling in the heat for hours

I noticed recently that when I completed an entire campaign, 47 had a more neutral/relaxed expression compared to his normal stern look. And when I exited Freelancer and booted it up again, it went back to normally. I wanted to ask if anyone else can confirm if this happens in their games as well? Or is this just a bug on my end?

Fascinating. I just got an Xbox Series X today, and once I start it up and try my first campaign, I’m gonna check for this myself.
