Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

It’s in the modded Freelancer Romania so not sure if it really counts for this topic, but I thought this NPC on the train, in a tuxedo and carrying an assassin’s pistol, was a simple James Bond reference.

But then I noticed members of a certain family are also on the train, just two cabins further actually. :scream:

Well, it’s something you can find out for yourself :sweat_smile: (and should, because the mod is great) but I’ll add a spoiler to the post.

It seems like Lorenz Specht, the Guy who usually in trapped underneath the Map in Berlin is in it’s desired place when starting at the Bus Stop, the Radio Tower or at the Projection Bar. I always assumed he was a weird Easteregg, so it actually seems to be a Bug.

this is such niche trivia but when doing my research for my challenge ideas (shameless plug) I noticed something cool about the Classic suits: I think the Suburban suit served as inspiration for the H3 signature suit:



SignatureGloves2021
With the Sniper Challenge suit they kind of form a trio of ways he can wear the same suit almost Blood Money style. the similarities:
-tie knot
-tie color being a glossy red
-subtle stripes on the tie
-grayer suit jacket
and to prove im not crazy we can contrast it with the H2 suit:
SignatureGloves2018
which has a lighter more matte tie color, a full on black jacket and a skinnier tie shape and knot

is he available as a contracts mode target? puzzle contract idea

Yeah, of course. As he can be lured via distraction from underneath the Map, you can even start the Contract from any location you want.

Especially since he had devil horns. I would have for sure thought the guy with devil horns under the map was a joke. Guess not !

Oh, he doesn’t have those by default. That’s one of my Models for Berlin Reimagined. He uses this model in the Vanilla Game.

Seems Lorenz takes quite the route to go investigate when you distract him out.

Ends up teleporting here and seemingly staying there forever:

Not something about the games, but has anyone noticed how the Hitman Twitter account is reposting a lot of nonsense lately?

I just found that out. :frowning:

I guess that’s what has been combatglue so busy that they haven’t been active here since March 12th… :confused:

They’re sharing user generated content, a totally normal and standard thing to do as a brand account.

47 made the national news website in Belgium today by having gotten third spot as most iconic
Video game character after Lara Croft and Mario.

I think it’s a pretty impressive achievement given all the competition out there.

It’s certainly impressive, I would not have thought that 47 could score a third place. The competition is tough. I wouldn’t personally put him in a top 3. He’s definitely my favourite video game character, but outside my own little bubble, I wouldn’t place him that high.

However congratulations to David Bateson and IO for bringing him to life.

47 certainly deserves it!! He’s come a very long way since Codename 47 :grin:

Today I found out that the maximum Player Profile level in WoA is currently set to 7501. It doesn’t move beyond this with any additional XP gains despite the new level symbol having the Roman numeral for “one” which would indicate it should go beyond this.

How did I find this out? I reached it.

Although on the game menus along the bottom in the right-hand corner, it is listed as level 7500.

It used to be lower than that (2500 IIRC?), I remember some patch notes saying it was increased to 7500, with the title changing every 2500. Kinda weird they used “venator” (“hunter”) instead of “predator” for the title though :thinking:

It was the May 2022 patch, it increased the maximum player profile level from 5000 to 7500.
https://ioi.dk/hitman/patch-notes/2022/may-patch-notes

  • Malus Necessarium (01 – 2,500)
  • Ius Obscurus (2,501 – 5,000)
  • Mortifer Velocis (5,001 – 7,500)

And the then unknown Apex Venator at 7501.


The badges themselves repeat themselves every 2500. @thrison has the same as a level 1, hence the roman numeral visible, it’s a grandfathered artefact.
The only change is the text/motto/legend, a form of prestige level of a sort.

I played around with it afterward on Peacock. Ended up figuring out that the limit is 7,500, but I ended up at 7,501 because I had earned enough XP in the run by playing Freelancer that it counted the additional XP to cross the limit.

There’s also a full suite of badges to cover levels 7,501-10,000. Plus there is “Sicarius Silens” which covers 10,001-12,500. 12,501+ doesn’t have any badge changes and retains the badge for 12,500.

Perhaps they added these all in, but forgot to lift the limit? :person_shrugging:

I bet they will increase the profile level gradually until the time of wrapping up the game support
