Your 5 Favourite Kills in the WoA Trilogy (spoilers)

Now that HITMAN 3 is out and we’ve had a chance to play through it, what have been your favourite kills on any official target in the WoA trilogy? Not necessarily your favourite target (otherwise we’re just getting a bunch of Dawood posts!), but your favourite target-specific kills.

Let’s restrict it to your top 5 as there are so many to choose from - name your target and the specific kill that you love doing to them. Here’s mine:

  1. Zoe Washington - burning alive in Phoenix effigy
  2. Don Archibald Yates - Diana stabs him, 47 finishes the job with a letter opener
  3. Eric Soders - 47 throws the right-sided heart in the trash
  4. Jordan Cross - 47 shoots him whilst sat down, a contract is a contract
  5. Francesca de Santis - poison while blending in as the Golf Coach (just for Franny’s, “Roberto, how COULD you?!”)

Okay, go! :grin:

  1. Sierra Knox - Getting Robert to blow her up via remote explosive
  2. Viktor Novikov - The Showstopper. The kill that got me REALLY wanting to play Hitman after a lukewarm first experience with Absolution.
  3. Banner/Montgomery - Electrocution via sloppy light rig.
  4. Jordan Cross - Electrocution via Branson MD-2. I played Hitman 2016 ages before I went back to college for music production/engineering but oh my god everything about this opportunity is spot on when it comes to peoples’ insistence on using specific gear.
  5. Alma Reynard - Katana while brushing her teeth.

Only order here is from the beginning of EoA:

  1. “Jasper Knight” - Flying Colors
  2. Marco Abiati - Vai Con Dio
  3. Yuki Yamazaki - A Bit of a Stretch
  4. Rico Delgado - A Bite Out of Crime
  5. Vanya Shah & The Maelstrom - Everybody on Board - this one was amazing and doubles as special mission exit!

There are definitely more.

  1. Don Yates - Diana stabs him
  2. Marco Abiatti - Impaled on spire
  3. Mark Faba - Pen kill
  4. Eric Soders - Destroying his new heart
  5. Tamara Vidal - Executed by Yates’ guards

I’ll have to replay the series to be sure but off the top of my head these are what jump out to me the most

That’s difficult to say, there are many really great ones. But one I’ve got so far:

  1. Impaling Abiatti on spike under church tower
  2. Falling lighting rig on Novikov
  3. Throwing Zaydan into press printer
  4. Kicking Athena thorugh clock
  5. Eliminating Montgomery and co. in a massive shootout - it’s just so out of touch for Hitman it’s awesome

5: Rangan - Fan kill (I love sending anyone flying with the fan)

4: Yates - Stabbed by Diana (his guard executing Vidal is a great moment too)

3: Caruso - Plane shot down

2: Banner/Montgomery - Light show

1: Shah/Kale - Train kill

Subject to change as I play more of 3, especially need to explore Chongqing more. I thought about putting in the Kashmirian kills but felt that might be too much Mumbai. I love Mumbai a lot.

Abiatti - impaled on the church spike
Cross - “a contract is a contract”
Rangan - sniped by Kashmirian when disguised as the artist
Soders - heart attack by a mere sight of 47
Zoe - electrocuted when disguised as the Initiate

Honorable mention: Zeydan - neck snapped when disguised as the prisoner

Really hard to come up with just five, seeing how many unique kills there are, especially in H3. :smile:

  1. Montgomery & Banner - Electrocuted with the light show
  2. Tamara Vidal - Executed by Yates’ head of security
  3. Sierra Knox - Blown up with a car bomb detonated by her own father
  4. Jordan Cross - Shot after confronted in his room
  5. Alexa Carlisle - Made commit suicide

Honorable mention would go to Soders getting stabbed by the robot arms. The train kill is awesome too. Heck, making top lists is not easy.

My favorite kills and ‘kills’, in no particular order.

  • Jordan Cross - pushing him onto that glass platform, cracking under his weight, and then falling to his demise.

  • Adalrico Candelaria - subduing his guards and/or distracting them, and then crushing Candelaria with the church bell.

  • Arthur Edwards - where he forgets everything, a fate that’s arguably worse than death.

  • Wazir Kale and Vanya Shah - running a train through the both of them, and then proceeding to escape on that very same train.

  • Don Archibald Yates - incapacitated by Diana, and then finished off by 47 with a stab to the chest.

I would also love to put pretty much every story kill from Mendoza on the list, in particular, the ones where Yates’s guard executes Vidal, or where the sniper team shoots Vidal, or even the one where Yates’s wife shoves him over the balcony.

That’s the point! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: There are so many good ones to choose from, which of your darlings will you kill to leave you only the very best?

What I love about the Hitman games is even the weakest scripted kill is still brilliant. People who are worried about the impact violent video games have on society should just play these games. There’s no reason to hurt people in boring ways IRL when you can load up Hitman and easily drop a big ol’ lighting rig on some jerk or literally throw someone’s heart in the garbage.
