Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

It´s been a while since I last let Dr. Laurent have the honour of operating Mr. Soders, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that after discovering the truth, he phones non other than Don “Balls” Yates.

They don’t call him “Balls” for nothing

well, actually, they probably do.

I love that, replaying older missions and finding out about characters we didn’t know back then, like during Ken Morgan’s phone call in Bangkok :smile:

Well, the Hunter Briefcase has a hidden/ invisible Military Briefcase mesh. Quite lazy from IO’s part, that they cant add a unique mesh. (UMM how is this an offensive post?)

wow, that does not look good at all tbh. I’m not a fan of that briefcase but they should really fix this asap since it’s “deluxe” paid content

The Chinese Briefcase is the same, but it’s not really a huge issue imo. Maybe it’s just to minimise file size?

i think they just decided to use that toolbox mesh for the briefcase. not sure what the big deal is lol, just looks a bit odd

definitely not a big deal, but sure does pinches, that small and obvious details like these are overlooked, especially when you’re paying for Deluxe content.

I don´t play PZ missions all that often, and while I´ve certainly noticed the bats in The Author (they are rather hard to miss), it took me until now to notice the megabats (fruit bats, flying foxes, whatever the preferred name in EN is) in The Source. A cool little touch indeed :grin:

At the first glance on a small image it looks like a planes :slight_smile:

it isn’t a big deal, but the deluxe is quite expensive and you don’t get much from it so you at least expect a certain level of polish for what you do get

The preferred name is Golbat

IO said 2019. Plus the gunrunner briefing backs up the time period as well.

I would have never find that out, if you didn’t show it here :sweat_smile:

And so does the math, if you go by the established time frame from C47, Contracts and the prologue in H16.

This simply wouldn’t make sense as there would be no reason for the game events to jump around so much, when it’s very easy to see that the prologues and endings of each game are obviously so close together timeline-wise. Do you really think that there’s a 2.5 year gap between The Last Resort (where they find the Partner locations) and On Top of the World (where they kill them)? In addition, NPCs often mention events from other missions and it’s almost always ‘a weeks/months ago, X happened’. These lines sometimes create weird contradictions but it’s very clear that the story spans around 12-18 months, beginning around late 2019 or early 2020 and ending in the first half of 2021 (with the last cutscene being set in 2022).

It’s very clear that the devs did not pay much attention to how the timeline is structured (because of the already mentioned contradictions) but we can get a general sense of when the game takes place from what we have.

Hitman 1: late 2019/early 2020 - mid 2020
Hitman 2: mid 2020 - November 2020
Hitman 3: November 2020 - April/May 2021

A really in depth fan composed timeline here on this forum. It doesn’t include H3 yet but this person went into a lot of detail.

Yeah, I don’t own H3 yet so I’m not able to conduct much research there but I don’t think much will change with new discoveries.

In Berlin, right by Davenport’s route, there’s a side area with a fusebox and a crate. You can distract the club crew member and hide him, then use that same distraction to lure Davenport in.

If I wasn’t specific enough I can attach a screenshot. I’m on console, so that’s usually a pain lol

In Mendoza, if you do the ‘Kill by Proxy’, Yates’ wife will call Fanin (whom had appeared in season 1) , then goes to the entry point of the map and will sit on a bench.
On that same route, I just saw Cathalina Delgado, but she wasn’t talking about Ricardo… shame.
Still the same map, I found out, that the band ‘The CLASS’ is reformed under a new name, and the way Dexy talks, it seems doesn’t do well. (or she’s just being a bitch)

aaand still the same map, there is a small discussion about the fall of the ICA. Turns out, that there is already replacements, more likey freelance assasins.
