Hitman 3 Patch 1.15 Notes ( 3.140) – January 26, 2023

HITMAN Freelancer

HITMAN Freelancer is a brand new, single-player mode that introduces rogue-like elements, strategic planning and a customisable safehouse. And starting today you can become the global hunter and Prepare, identify, and eliminate the most dangerous syndicates in the World of Assassination.

Added support for Nvidia DLSS 3 – DLSS Frame Generation and Nvidia Reflex Low Latency.

IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES

World of Assassination

Changed several aspects of the game experience to fit the World of Assassination naming and branding.

– The game’s icon, PC Launcher, boot screen and attraction screen (press X to play) have all been updated to the new WOA branding.

– The in-game hub has been changed to accommodate Freelancer and put a focus on the Story. Players will now have a clear choice of ‘Story’ or ‘Freelancer’ from the Featured hub.

– A new ‘LIVE’ tab will be the new destination for the most recent Elusive Targets, Arcade Contracts, Escalations and other fitting content.

– New players will now start directly at the ICA Facility location, as we want them to start their WOA experience from the very beginning.

– We’ve also taken the time to update the sound effects on the ‘IOI’ logo on game launch, update the credits for work done on Freelancer and update our legal line.

Stability

Resolved various issues that could cause the game to crash or be unstable in various ways.

Run Toggle Revisited

In the October Patch, we added an option for players to enable a ‘toggle’ option when they wanted 47 to run/jog/sprint. Now, we’ve expanded and updated some of those options.

HOLD (unchanged)

The player must hold the ‘run’ button

TOGGLE (changed)

The player may press the ‘run’ button at any time. 47’s speed persists even when he stops moving. An icon in the bottom-left will show his current speed.

PRESS (new)

The player must press ‘run’ when walking. If 47 was already walking, he will run. If he was already running, nothing will happen. When he stops moving, his speed resets to a “walk”.

Other changes

Santa Fortuna: Hidden Statue

We’ve resolved an issue where the statue involved in the “Heart of Stone” mission story was not covered, when it should have been.

Difficulty Difficulties

We’ve resolved an issue where performing a save/load cycle and replanning a mission on a different difficulty level could cause the game to not reflect the new difficulty level, i.e additional cameras and NPCs would not be added to Master Difficulty.

Challenge Consistency

We’ve updated the menu ordering to sort Challenges in a more logical manner. They’ll now be displayed with numerical order in mind, i.e Tier 1, Tier 2

(Note that the number of bullets in each tile increases by 1)

Agent Seventeen

We’ve updated the image of the Agent 17 suit that is shown when the challenge is unlocked, to better reflect what the actual suit in the inventory looks like.

Letter Dance

We’ve resolved an issue where the words in the UI or on the in-game map could occasionally ‘dance’ when the player quickly moves the camera or scrolls across the map.

Paris Audio Sweep

We’ve overhauled the audio properties of the Paris map, to bring it in line with the current standards. This work was done last year, but never implemented. The following changes have been made:

– New Occlusion System: We’ve changed the occlusion system and adpted the rooming and soundportal setup to use our 3D propagation tech, rather than 2D. This results in a more realistic propagation from room to room, such as being able to hear the water from the fountain at the entrance when you are in the 3rd floor attic room.

The (iconic) music from the Fashion Show itself now uses an occlusion modifier to ensure a smooth propagation throughout the entire palace without any dropouts. Finally, broken glass windows will now act as soundgates, allowing you to hear audio through them, which wasn’t the case previously.

– Improved Sound Assets and variation: We’ve added new background and 3D positional sound assets to the inside and outside of the palace to add more variation and fidelity to the ambient audio.

– Improved Crowd Propagation: We’ve set up crowd templates and updated the crowd to the HITMAN 3 system, which uses 3D spacialization rather than 2D loops. This means that they can now be heard in the adjacent rooms and from further away, resulting in a more natural and immersive experience.

– Added Impulse Response Reverbs: We’ve replaced our algorithmic reverbs to give all rooms a more realistic set of reverbs to simulate each space, which will make them more believable.

– Full Mix Pass: We’ve created new Wwise events and done a full mix pass on the entire level to the mixing standards that we included with the HITMAN 3 locations.

Ripe For the Picking

Resolved an issue where the ‘Ripe for the Picking’ trophy/achievement from Mendoza could be unlocked in Haven Island.

Hawke’s Bay Puddle

We’ve removed a visibly floating puddle from the beach in Hawke’s Bay. Once we did this, it became apparent that there were visible ‘seam lines’ that the puddle was accidentally hiding. We’ve tidied that little issue up as well now by moving the puddle decals out of the seams together with some vertex painting.

Tres-Paris-ing

We’ve resolved an issue where 47 would be considered trespassing on several stairs between the basement and main hall, even though his disguise was permitted in that area.

Despite this being reported as an issue, fixed, re-opened and difficult to reproduce, we now believe it to be fully solved due to a trespass zone from the stairs above going down into the corridor below where the issue was occurring. That particular trespass zone doesn’t actually go far enough down to reach 47’s feet, so it shouldn’t have made a difference, but now we’ve tweaked it, the issue has reoccurred since. So, there you have it.

Paris Light

We’ve resolved an issue where several lighting issues could occur in the ‘second room’ after the main hall in Paris. Certain lights would not appear, others would flicker or disappear from the room because of their draw distance and shadows at a close distance would also disappear just before the lights, causing a ‘flicker’ effect. Changing light settings or enabling RayTracing made no different to these issues.

Here’s the issue as reported by Hitman Forum user 7_62:

To fix this, we changed the shadow fade length, prioritization and angular attenuation of the lights coming into the room. We also added a light that shows when the light from opening the centre door (seen below on the left hand-side of the screen), which has never been there before. After all of that, here’s what the ‘fixed’ area now looks like:

Mumbai Tower Tragedy

We’ve resolved an issue where it was possible for Agent 47 to fall outside of the map in Mumbai. You could say it was his own fault for subduing an NPC from cover near the Crow’s Guard Tower, but we wouldn’t say that to his face. So, we added a collision box to keep him where he needs to be.

Next Level Blend-in

We’ve resolved an issue where one of Rico Delgado’s guards in Santa Fortuna would become part of the wall in order to surprise 47. Thanks to u/Mawashiro for pointing this one out to us.

No Climb For You

We’ve resolved an issue where it was possible for Agent 47 to ‘climb’ a tree near the cocoa plantation to get out of bounds. If the world’s greatest assassin isn’t interested in jumping, then we don’t think he has any business climbing. We’ve blocked this particular area now.

Instinctive Recording

We’ve resolved an issue where it some security cameras would not be displayed in Instinct after 47 has used the ‘camera’ tool in his inventory.

Camera Conundrum

We’ve resolved an issue where it was impossible to use the ‘Hide Menu’ prompt when using 47’s camera to take a photo near a door. This was because the prompt to do so was the same as to open the door, and this was causing an issue. We’ve simply remapped the ‘hide menu’ prompt to avoid this.

Miami Money

We’ve resolved an issue where it was possible for NPCs to scale the small walls / barriers at either end of the tunnel (underpass) at the start of the level. Thanks to u/S00na-M00na for pointing out this unintended parkour.

Sapienza’s Second Saviour

We’ve resolved an issue where The Prince Elusive Target (included in The Deceits Arcade Contract) would be able to use the same blend-in spot as Agent 47 in the church. We’ve given them both their own space now.

Black Almond True SA

We’ve resolved an issue where the Black Almond’s Dagger (Haven Island Mastery unlock) was missing sound effects when attacking NPCs from any direction.

Hokkaido Stem Cells

We’ve resolved an issue that was blocking players from using the stem cells as an assassination method because a specific surgeon would suspend their routine.

The 47th Universe

We’ve removed the Hokkaido spa as a possible location for NPC’s to be sick. Similar to the Bangkok Bread Basket, it didn’t feel appropriate (Don’t ask us if it ever did).
However, for all your emetic poison needs, we’ve added a new one outside the spa at the bottom of the ramp.

Glove Powers

We’ve resolved an issue where the Signature Suit with Gloves would not get wet in the Chongqing rain. The regular Signature Suit did, so it must have been something to do with the gloves.

Invisible Flash Case

We’ve resolved an issue where triggering a remote flash explosive that was concealed within a briefcase would result in the briefcase remaining functionable, but entirely invisible. Now, triggering an explosive that’s concealed will result in the briefcase being ‘consumed’ and no longer usable.

Legal Trouble

We’ve resolved an issue where 47 would be referred to as “Mr Bravuomo”, the good man from Landslide, whilst wearing the Lawyer disguise in Dartmoor. He should have been referred to as “Mr Ford”, the actual lawyer on the Dartmoor map. We don’t have specific lines for the Dartmoor lawyer recorded, so guards will find other, more generic ways to ensure 47 gets an appropriate greeting.

Controller Layout

We’ve made a change so that the controller layout shown on the Pause screen will now update to reflect a players choices for ‘hold’ or ‘toggle’. These options were implemented in our October 2022 patch but the controller image remained static with the default settings. Now, it’s dynamic to your choices.

Sniper Timer Trouble

We’ve resolved an issue where the Score Screen shown after completing a Sniper Assassin mission would display as 00:00, but be shown correctly on leaderboards. Basically, it was just a visual issue on that first screen. We’ve now fixed things so that the proper time is always shown.

Apron Adjustment

We’ve resolved an issue where aprons where not properly displayed, seemingly meshing with the character model. This issue stemmed from a fix we put it place for a different issue, where female aprons could not be seen from the back, but looked fine from the front. We’ve tweaked and aligned the properties of all aprons to render without clipping.

Rocky Terrain

We’ve resolved an issue on Ambrose where an NPC would clip with their chair when picking up a magazine. This was caused by the chair not quite being aligned with the ground. Similar cases with NPCs standing ‘inside’ chairs after sitting and being distracted have also been fixed.

Missing AI dialogue

We’ve resolved several issues, mostly on Ambrose Island, where certain characters dialogue would not trigger properly. These include missing guard dialogue to 47 acting suspicious in disguise or placeholder ‘robotic’ voices being triggered instead of the final recordings.

Double Wetsuits

We’ve resolved an issue where players would see two identical versions of the Guerrilla Wetsuit in the planning stage after unlocking it through the Ambrose Island mastery track.

Barrel Shadows

We’ve resolved an issue where some shadows from fire barrels, notably on Ambrose Island, would display unrealistically. Changes have been made.

New Feature – Career page Elusive Target Split

On the Career page, we have split the Elusive Target overview between Year 1 and 2. This was made to help players have an overview of complete or failed ETs.

Last Stop

Kicking / pushing NPC’s of the train in the Carpathian Mountains didn’t always count as a kill. It now does, so use it carefully.

Casual Dental hygiene

The Bubble Queen Gum pack is a delicious unlock from the Seven Deadly Sins, but unfortunately it was considered as an illegal item on the Casual Difficulty. This has now been changed, so that you can chew in peace.

Exploit with particles and muffins.

Muffins are delicious. But they can also be a powerful tool, especially when it comes to speedrunning. We’ve fixed the “issue” where players could use muffins to their advantage to get better times by exploiting it. Thing is, we did not intend to fix this, as we liked the content that came with it. Therefore – we will introduce the muffin trick again in a later patch this year. Until then, sorry speedrunners!

Hitman 3 Patch 1.13 Notes (1.013.000) – October 6, 2022

New

Super Sampling

The HITMAN 3 October Patch adds support for super sampling technology from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA.

Intel Xe Super Sampling
Intel® Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) technology uses machine learning to deliver more performance with exceptional image quality. Hardware accelerated XeSS is optimized for Xe-HPG microarchitecture-based GPUs.

NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS)
NVIDIA DLSS uses AI Super Resolution to provide the highest possible frame rates at maximum graphic settings. DLSS requires an NVIDIA RTX graphics card.

AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2)
AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 2 is a cutting-edge temporal upscaling algorithm that produces high resolution frames from lower resolution inputs.

HITMAN 3 supports AMD FSR 2.1, although the game menu and launcher will only refer to “FSR 2”.

Stability

We’ve resolved various issues that could cause the game to crash or be unstable in various ways.
Amongst others, we’ve resolved crashes that could occur when;
– using certain fuseboxes whilst in cover
– using items that require you to hold a button to activate (sinks, radios etc) and then moving
– restarting, loading, replanning or exiting to menu after pausing the game with the camera item active

Accessibility Options

We’ve added four additional options to our gameplay settings, allowing additional gameplay elements to be set to hold or toggle. For all four new options, the default is set to hold, as that’s the current setting in the game. We’ve noted a few additional things below for each setting.

Walk and Run

Currently, you hold a button to run/jog and this new setting allows that to be a single toggle.
On PC, the ‘slow walk’ button can now be set to toggle via this setting.

Instinct Activation
Currently, on a controller, the Instinct (hold) and Reload (press) buttons share the same button; this option inverts which action requires a hold and press.

On a keyboard, this setting only affects the Instinct action (as reload has its own individual binding)

In Contracts Mode, the default Instinct button is used to show Target Info and this new setting does affect that functionality, even if the player has chosen to disable Instinct entirely.

Precision Aim
Currently, on a controller, the ‘precision aim’ function can be activated in two ways; either by half-pressing the right trigger or by holding the left bumper / shoulder button, whilst aiming. This setting only affects the left bumper, allowing it to be pressed rather than held.
Note: It is also possible to set your aiming mode to ‘toggle’.

Item Placement
Currently, on a controller, the ‘item placement’ action shares buttons with run, instinct and reload. Both bumpers / shoulder buttons must be pressed to enter item placement mode, but you may press either to cancel the placement. Now, you can choose to press the shoulder buttons just once to enter placement mode.

Trespassing Alert 
We’ve resolved an issue on consoles where the trespassing/hostile area UI notification (yellow bar) could get stuck on the screen after a save/load cycle. Note: This issue was fixed for PC in a previous patch.

Ruby’s Rude Rain Rave 
We’ve resolved two issues where the Rave On Suit and Ruby Rude Tracksuit don’t get noticeably wet when worn in the Chongqing rain. In some cases internally, we even saw that the Rave On suit would refuse to load and the default suit for the location was active instead. We’ve fixed that too to make sure it didn’t make it into the live game.

The Suitcase Summoner
We’ve resolved an issue where Agent 47 could perform some briefcase magic and make it appear in his hand at a chosen time, if he performed certain actions at the start of a mission. We’ve ironed that out – and “this is a bug and not a feature”, so we don’t have any plans to release a teleporting briefcase (at this time).

Falcon and the Polar Hitman 
We’ve resolved an issue where the disguise bag for the Polar Survival Suit was incorrectly displayed as ‘Hitman Falcon’. “Falcon” is the development codename for the Siberia location where the suit was originally worn, which is how it came to have that name by mistake.

Kanon Cannons 
We’ve made some changes to cannons, to make sure that they can always be triggered by explosions, even after performing a save/load cycle. We saw a few reports from players were cannons appeared to not work at all, but it was the save/load cycle that caused it.

ET Naming Inconsistencies 
We’ve tweaked some inconsistencies with how the names of some Elusive Targets (Surgeons and Pharmacist) are shown in the menus and through the game’s intel/bio pages.

Arcade HUD 
We’ve updated four Arcade complications to ensure that they always display in the HUD. If you’ve noticed that Lethal Melee Only, Lethal Poison Only, No Poison Kill or Explosion Kill Only complications were not showing in the HUD, they will now.

Decimal Numbers
We’ve changed the decimal number displays throughout the menus. Currently, all languages use a decimal points (shown as 0.75), where this change will now mean that certain languages will show as 0,75 based on their localised usage.

Tricky Bric-key 
We’ve resolved an issue where keys that were hidden underneath bricks would be destroyed if players destroyed the brick (with bullets, explosions etc.) instead of picking up the brick. Now, destroying bricks will also reveal the hidden keys underneath.

Save Date 
We’ve tweaked the date format shown on save games to properly display according to localised usage. Previously, all languages were defaulting to the US date format, or had incorrect capitalisation or punctuation.

Adaptive Supersampling

Patch 3.110 also adds support for Adaptive Supersampling, such as NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 1.0.  We’re also working together with our friends at Intel to introduce their Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) technology to the game in a future patch. AMD’s FSR2 is expected to be supported in the same future patch.

Hitman 3 Patch 1.09 Notes (1.009.000) – January 20, 2022

Elusive Target Arcade

Elusive Target Arcade is a brand new game mode that takes the Elusive Target concept to the next level, mixes up the formula and introduces new challenges and unlockable rewards – all whilst keeping the essence of what makes Elusive Targets exciting and interesting to play.

On January 20, our launch batch of 3 Arcade Contracts will be added to HITMAN 3, one for each game in the trilogy. Across the launch batch of Arcade Contracts, you’ll be able to revisit 11 different ETs across 10 locations. The three contracts will be permanently available via the Arcade, whether you succeed or not. If you succeed in all missions of a given Arcade Contract, you’ll be able to ‘reset’ the contract and immediately play from the start. Failure at any point is met with a 12-hour lockout.

Elusive Target Arcade will also bring new rewards to the table and the first one available is the Krugermeier 2-2 Dark. Complete any one of the Arcade Contracts in the launch batch to add it to your inventory.

PS5hhhhhhhh

Addressed a bug where audio could abruptly cut out or become muted during gameplay. This issue was especially prominent on PlayStation 5.

Xbox Access

Addressed a bug where some Xbox players could intermittently lose access to content. After an investigation, we’ve identified that players who owned a lot of different Hitman content on the same console were most likely to be affected.

Improved Stability

Made back-end changes to ensure a smoother online experience and reduce the number of ‘disconnection’ issues encountered by players.

Epic Achievements

Added support for Epic Achievements and Avatars.

Windows PC Support
In addition to Epic Games Store and Steam, HITMAN 3 and HITMAN Trilogy are now available on Windows PC (Microsoft). Players on this platform (including PC Game Pass players) will have access to their existing HITMAN 3 progression that was earned playing HITMAN 3 on any Xbox console. That progression will also be synchronised between Xbox consoles and the Windows PC (Microsoft) versions of the game. Also, any Contracts created on this PC platform will be shared with Xbox console players and vice versa. These features are possible because Xbox Live is the central service that brings the two platforms together.

Shoulder Swap Controller

Implemented a permanent fix for the ‘Shoulder Swap’ option, so that it’s now available when playing in Offline Mode with a controller.

Target Down Dialogue

Implemented richer NPC dialogue that triggers when certain NPCs discover a target or VIP has been pacified, eliminated, or otherwise hurt. They will refer to them by name in several ways, such as when reporting their knowledge to a guard.

Lens Flare Reduction

Resolved a handful of issues that could result in an excessively strong lens flare when certain light sources met reflective surfaces.

2 Easy 2 Silent

Tweaked the unlock conditions for the ‘Silent Assassin’ trophy so that it unlocks more consistently according to the requirements.

Challenge Display

Fixed an issue that could cause the menu UI to incorrectly display the mission that a challenge could be completed on. Now, the game will be more accurate when displaying what mission is best suited to complete a given challenge.

Glass Smash

Addressed a bug where several glass panes were missing SFX when being smashed.

HUD Flash

Addressed a bug where some HUD icons and messages would repeatedly flash during gameplay, depending on specific player actions.

We Use This To Fix

Addressed a bug where the Versatile Assassin challenge on ‘The Author’ (H1 Patient Zero campaign mission) did not unlock, despite completing all the requirements. To ensure that the challenges are completed and tracked accurately, we recommend players complete all objectives and end the mission.

Dubai: Deadly Elevator

Addressed a bug where NPCs that were attacked and thrown down an elevator shaft in Dubai would be pacified rather than killed. Now, only death awaits.

Dartmoor: Outdoors, Indoors

Addressed a bug where 47 could see through a specific wall from outside the mansion in Dartmoor.

Chongqing: You’re Dead to Me

Hitman 3 version 1.09 made changes to several areas in the Chongqing, so that any NPCs that find themselves outside of the playable area are classified as ‘killed’ and the bodies are ‘hidden’.

Chongqing: Table, No Table

Tweaked the properties of an ‘invisible table’ in the Gluttony Gobble Escalation. Basically, it’s gone.

Mendoza: No Soup For You

Addressed a bug where Agent 47 would be unable to move without being spotted, when starting as the Asado Chef.

Mendoza: Overly Persistent Prompt

Removed a ‘prompt’ icon from near one of the persistent shortcuts in Mendoza.

Mendoza: Rich Harvest

Hitman 3 1.09 made the Rich Harvest trophy/achievement slightly easier to unlock by not requiring the completion of a ‘hidden’ mission story on Mendoza. This should remove confusion amongst players who appeared to have fulfilled the requirements but did not receive the trophy/achievement.

Mendoza: Diana Dialogue

Hitman 3 patch 1.09 addressed a bug that could cause Diana’s dialogue not to trigger at the start of the Mendoza campaign mission.

Bangkok: Unusual Identity

Resolved several issues where NPC names and images did not match up with the actual NPC in Bangkok.

Credit Where It’s Due, 3.100

Updated the in-game credits where needed to reflect work done since the last patch, including new members of the team that have joined.

More unlockables items (that are not related to Featured Contracts) will be available throughout the Season of Envy.

GENERAL ISSUES (3.70)

Language Support
We’ve added full text localisation of all in-game menus and subtitles for the following languages on all platforms: Japanese. All players will be able to access these languages after downloading the 3.70 patch. PS4 and PS5 players will need to own the SIEJ (Japanese version) to access the Japanese localisation.

Shoulder Swap
We’ve added a Camera Shoulder Swap option to the Gameplay Options menu. This is set to off by default, where the camera will always be aligned to Agent 47’s right shoulder. After turning this option on, players will be able to toggle which shoulder the camera is aligned to during gameplay.

Sniper Slowdown
We’ve tweaked the parameters of mouse sensitivity when zooming in with sniper rifles to give a better experience. Previously, the mouse speed was extremely slow, especially when fully zoomed in.

Arkian Unlock
We’ve made further tweaks to correctly unlock the Arkian Tuxedo suit for players that have completed the requirements, or ran into issues after carrying over their progress from HITMAN 2.

Gold Upgrade
We’ve tweaked the inventory image for the Goldballer so that it better represents the in-game weapon. In other words, we’ve made sure that the unlock image for the gun actually looks gold.

Localisation Tweaks
We’ve made several changes to various subtitles, menu text and in-game signage (in multiple languages) to improve their localisation and translations.

Stats: DGS
We’ve updated the icon for the Dartmoor Garden Show in the Statistics menu to represent Dartmoor. It was previously incorrectly using the ICA Facility location image.

Deadly Sins Campaign
We’ve added the Seven Deadly Sins content as a campaign under the Side Missions menu, and put it front of the queue.

Suit Categories
We’ve added two new suit categories to the Inventory menu; Deluxe and Deadly Sins. These categories will include the suits unlocked via the Deluxe Pack and Seven Deadly Sins content packs respectively. This will free up the Themed category as well.

Addressed several issues to improve the game’s stability, including an issue that could cause players to encounter disconnection issues when completing a mission.

We’ve tweaked the name of the Maximalist Shotgun (Gluttony content unlock) to be correctly spelled.

Wrong Location
Addressed an issue where the descriptions for two Agency pickups were misleading and did not describe where the actual pickup was located.

We’ve made a few tweaks to the targets’ behaviour so that they will react accordingly depending on Agent 47’s actions.

Sapienza: Card Read
Addressed an issue where the keycard reader between the main square and a kitchen was not functioning.

The post Hitman 3 Update 1.08 Patch Notes (v3.70) – Sep 28, 2021 appeared first on UpdateCrazy.

The Season of Lust brings new premium content and a new permanent event for all HITMAN 3 owners. Plus, there are new and returning Elusive Targets, new unlocks to earn through Featured Contracts and the ‘Goldballer’ makes its long-awaited debut as an unlockable item!

Previously, a big update was released with quality of life improvements. Unfortunately, some players are experiencing issues when trying to play the game.

Today’s Hitman 3 patch 1.07 will fix a few of these issues.

Hitman 3 Update 1.07 Notes (1.007.000)

Seven Deadly Sins Act 4: Lust (Premium Content)

Your journey through HITMAN 3’s Seven Deadly Sins continues with Act 4: Lust. This time, you’re in Berlin…

This new content includes the Lust Assignation Escalation, a unique one-stage contract that tasks you with hunting down safes and blowing them open (alternatively, keys are available) to collect intel on a secret admirer. Collect the clues and observe everyone on the dancefloor to identify the secret admirer and the Pretenders. Each time you start the contract, the admirer will be randomly selected to make each playthrough different and put all of your sleuthing skills to the test.

Completing the Lust Assignation brings three unique rewards. First, the Scarlet Suit, a red snakeskin suit complemented by matching driving gloves and sunglasses. The perfect outfit to wear when winning hearts (or breaking them).

Next, The Serpent’s Bite, a remotely detonated explosive that is crafted to look like a loosley coiled snake. It’s made with only the most descriminating and aesthetic assassins in mind, if not the most discreet. Finally, The Serpent’s Tongue is a unique crossbow loaded with blinding darts. The red and black snake motif is a guaranteed conversation starter.

Dartmoor Garden Show

Welcome to the Dartmoor Garden Show, a brand-new, free and permanent event for all HITMAN 3 owners that arrives on August 5th.

This unique event is Dartmoor like you’ve never seen it before. With bright skies above, four distinct gardens have been installed in the mansion grounds to showcase the pinnacle of horicultural excellence from around the world. Each garden has been curated by a world-class gardner that will present their best blooms to three judges – who you might recognise as familiar characters from the opening of the Burj Al-Ghazali in Dubai. With unique installations, new gardeners and returning characters as the judges, there’s a lot going on – but we’re just getting started.

The Dartmoor Garden Show will play out as a three stage Escalation on your first playthrough, where a client and accomplice are randomly assigned, meaning that the winner of the Garden Show (which is based just as much on who is alive to claim the prize, as it is based on the quality of the gardens) will be different each time. Once you’ve completed all three stages once, you’ll unlock the Summer Sightseeing Suit, the perfect companion for your future playthroughs.

You’ll also unlock Deterministic Mode, which can be activated by resetting the Escalation back to Stage 1 and choosing a newly-unlocked Starting Location. In this new mode for the Dartmoor Garden Show, we remove the randomised element and give you full control of who should be left alive to claim the prize of Dartmoor’s Greatest Gardner.

Finally, Contracts Mode is fully enabled for the Dartmoor Garden Show, giving you that chance to create your own contracts on any of the NPCs at the event. Craft your own narratives, setup your own challenges and compete for bragging rights with your friends.

Featured Contract Rewards

The Season of Lust brings another milestone reward for completing Featured Contracts. Rack up 50 completions across HITMAN 3 locations and the SMG Raptor by RubyRude is yours to keep.

New Unlockables

It’s finally here. The ICA 19 Goldballer will be added to HITMAN 3 with the July Patch and can be unlocked by completing the newly added “Untouchable” challenge. Head to the Carpathian Mountains and complete the “Untouchable” campaign mission to add this highly-requested weapon to your inventory. If you’ve already completed the campaign, you’ll need to complete the mission again to trigger the unlock.

Featured Contracts Unlocks

There’s several causes for this, but we’ve worked through the various constellations and made adjustments for the known causes.
