Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

Talk about change of career, huh. From award-winning stage actor to head of basically mafioso’s merc team.

I was completing some challenges in Dubai and found out that the penthouse staff all make a bee-line back up to the penthouse area after the lockdown is over. It made me think someone could use a piercing gun if they were going for a kill-all challenge.

Then I thought (after waking up) about 47 making one of his base-jump exits, but detonating some explosives just before exiting to see a bunch of bodies raining down as he parachuted. So, I looked for a video on that. @Tigh_Himes didn’t have one, but what they had was good enough. I’m just sorry I didn’t know this video existed until 8 months later. :frowning:

Just found out Apex Predator is also the title of a sick Mean Girls song. The jungle metaphors are surprisingly fitting for 47 as they are for Regina George.

You can almost imagine Jiao and Hall covering this.

I really love to try to pacify everyone in a map without ever being seen. And this video shows exactly why it’s near impossible in all the H3 maps (at around 1:55). Chongqing’s even worse.

Ghost Mode used Steam for at least the Invite Friends mode, so Ghost Mode was kept alive via mods in H2 and as far as I know still works today, but Invite only (I heard a rumour IO went to the effort of removing everything a couple months ago in H2, but haven’t seen that confirmed anywhere).

Hopefully when it’s on Steam modders can just copy and paste that code and we’ll have Ghost Mode back again (on PC, Invite Only), since the rest of the game files are still in H3.

Unlike other missions, like Death in the Family, DGS doesn’t have its own signature and uses the same one as ICA Facility.

That means IOI is such lazy,they even not draw a signature for this mission.

Me going for the 100% grind:

“Ah, one less thing to do, thank you IOI.”

This is something I just found out. I was playing Colorado. I was at the slurry pit and I distracted one guard while I pushed the other one in the slurry pit. When the other guard returned, he reacted to his partner disappearing

Sean Rose gets on the phone and has a call when he sees a dead body. He has a lot of lines. I can’t remember word for word what he said. But he said something along the lines of we can’t let any pigs knowing about this. Let me know if any police get too close.

Lots of NPCs have this for some reason, but I rarely notice it. Last time I noticed it was in my Accent Replacement mod when a Janitor had Maelstrom’s voice and saw a dead body. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence that we’ve only noticed for Target voices, but I swear over on the modding discord someone posted a sound file of a generic civillian having these lines

Yeah that’s not exclusive to targets, it’s relatively “rare” to hear though I think

In case for someone who doesn’t know, sometimes when a npc sees a dead body, they’ll go on the phone and have a conservation or make comments about seeing a dead body

I was playing Colorado and I killed a lot of the guards so when the targets saw a body instead of running away and alerting guards, they had a phone call. It doesn’t work every time for me though. Sometimes they don’t say anything when they’re standing near a body

But Sean Rose said a lot of dialogue I never heard before. He was asking how did the situation escalate to this. He was talking about the cause and that a dead body could blow the operation. So interesting. Many players will most likely never hear this

I did this in Hokkaido and Yuki Yamazaki had some lines. I can’t remember what she said but something like, “Looks like someone needs a lawyer. Lots of those around here.”

At least one generic NPC in Paris will call his wife when he sees a dead body. I remember that from way back when Paris first came out. I wonder if that dialogue is used in every level bc it didn’t mention anything specific to the fashion show or geographic location.

I think I witnessed Gregory Carlisle do this after Emma got smashed with a chandelier right in front of him. Hearing him talk about her the same way as any random dead person was rather funny.

The briefing of The Undying and The Undying Returns has more deferences than the target’s appearance.

Wasn’t it just alternate takes of some of Diana’s lines, or have you spotted something else?

I was mainly referring to Diana’s lines, but yes, although nothing significant.

There are very slight differences, like timing differences in the sniper footage. But something I found huge was the color, which the original one appears to have a more blueish color. And sometimes Diana’s lines have different timing, so I think they re-edited it a little.

It’s quite nitpicky, but I like finding these tiny details.

Also, I found Diana saying, “I feel I’m repeating myself a little bit here…” a bit funny.

You can preemptively knock out and take a photo of Hans Lucht before you even take Kazem’s outfit and meet with Ingram. You’ll still have to meet with Miss To after the meeting. Of course, you won’t be able to escort him around, but if you’re disguised as event staff, you can poison him at the bar, as long as you stay away from that one enforcer.

Or just shoot him with a tranq gun at the start of the mission.
