Hitman 3: Beginner's guide
Below are some quick tips for players starting their adventure with Hitman 3. We pay attention to elements that will make completing missions and avoiding detection easier for you. For more tips, see the Starting tips section.
- Save the game as often as possible and be sure to use several different slots. You won't have to restart the mission when Agent 47 gets detected prematurely or when you make a mistake in eliminating the target.
- Explore each new map carefully. The locations in Hitman 3 are very extensive and multi-level. Don't focus on reaching the target of the mission right away. Instead, you should try to examine the surroundings - look for good entrances to restricted areas, places where you can find a disguise, monitoring rooms, or get to know the "daily routine" of the target.
- Do the available challenges whenever you can. Each challenge is rewarded with experience points that will allow you to gain a new mastery level. These levels give you unique rewards - new weapons and gadgets or new starting points when replaying a mission.
- Avoid fights. Agent 47 can eliminate enemies in open conflict, but raising the alarm always leads to unnecessary trouble. This also lowers the mission score. Try to complete each level by remaining hidden. Focus on stealth, reconnaissance, distract enemies, and use disguises.
- Do not forget to visit the monitoring rooms. Do that whenever you get spotted and recorded by a security camera. Removing the security tapes and evidence of Agent 47's presence will give you a higher score.
- Try not to kill anyone besides the target. This is especially important if you plan to get the Silent Assassin rank. Stun everyone else while remaining unnoticed, and remember to hide their bodies.
- Match gadgets and weapons to the goals and objectives of the mission. For example, if reaching your destination is behind a locked door, equip Agent 47 with a lockpick or electronic hacking device. As for electronic locks, you should also look for access cards – they can be found lying somewhere or looted from a security officer's body.
- Scan every newly examined area. In Hitman 3, as in the previous parts, you can use the instinct to scan the environment. This will help you to locate opponents, loot, and interactive spots. The instinct is unlimited.
- You can use different exits in missions. In most situations, it is best to choose the easiest exit available or the one closest to the place where you have eliminated the target. Keep in mind, however, that there may be challenges associated with using secret exits.
