HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Hitman 3 bugs as of the June 15th Patch.

1) I have not been retroactively granted the Remote Semtex Demo Block MK III & ICA 19 F/A Stealth Ducky Edition. These are the bugged Featured Contract Rewards that was listed as fixed in previous patch notes but actually was not solved. The Sieger 300 Sniper Case was successfully added, but the Semtex Demo Block MK III and ICA 19 F/A Stealth Ducky Edition remain locked despite the associated challenges listed as complete.

Is a fix in the works for affected users? This problem has been around for months now. @Travis_IOI

2) Claw Hammer & Jaeger 7 Covert are missing from location mastery, escalation rewards, and featured contract challenges. They are impossible for new players to unlock.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

3) The inventory image for the Masamune uses a generic katana. It should be updated to reflect its beautiful in-game model.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

4) I’ve reported this for a few years now, but the Small Goldbar is STILL incorrectly placed as the only melee item in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu. It should be organized next to the other melee items in the Weapons section of the Inventory Menu like it is during missing planning.

Observe how the Small Goldbar is next to the other melee unlocks in the Weapons section of the menu during mission planning, which is CORRECT:

Now observe how the Small Goldbar is the only melee weapon in the Gear section of the Inventory Menu in the Career Tab, which is WRONG:

[ STILL BUGGED ]

5) The Number Six With Gloves has the wrong inventory description. It’s reusing the one for the Ashen Suit With Gloves.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

6) The HWK21 Pale is still missing the “Steady Aim” attribute icon when viewed in the inventory menu.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

7) The Druzhina 34 ICA Arctic no longer has the slow-mo ability, but the weapon still has the “Marksman” attribute listed. I believe this was done in error after removing the wallbang ammo.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

8) There are several melee weapons that are missing their sounds when you attack an NPC. After extensive testing, these are the buggy melee weapons that emit no audible noise when used:

  1. Antique Curved Knife
  2. Meaty Bone
  3. Sacrificial Knife
  4. The Black Almond’s Dagger
  5. Handyman Wrench

[ STILL BUGGED ]

9) Pushing Robert Knox onto Sierra Knox’s car results in a “Non-Target” kill and voids SA. This is the “Tree Falls on the Apple” assassination challenge which worked correctly in Hitman 2. Here’s a video of the glitch.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

10) During the Ark Society, Lucas Grey is missing during the cutscene that plays when selecting the Harbor starting location.

[ STILL BUGGED ]

11) On the stats page, the little rectangle-like shapes that represent your mastery level become unlit after you unlock 100% of the challenges for that location.

i think the gold bar is deliberatey placed under melee in the gear section of the career tab. as its part coin, part non-lethal melee. making it gear that can also melee, if that makes sense.

Platform : [PS5]
Digital

Location : Dartmoor

Description : The new sloth dlc escalation can not be completed. The game hard freezes every time I go near the 4th target in level 2. I have restarted both game and console and it happens every time

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Sloth Depletion escalation level 2
  3. Kill the first three targets then go up to the fourth

Frequency : Always


Description : Featured Contracts - Track 2, Tier 5 is complete but I did not receive the ICA19 ducky edition


Description : “SAVING” is still constantly on the screen

Except during mission planning (see the above picture), it’s organized alongside the other melee weapons. It can’t be labeled as both, so they should at least pick one category and keep it consistent.

Back during the Hitman 2 days, there were a few other melee items miscategorized as gear (Blueberry Muffin, Broadsword, and a couple others), but they were all eventually patched. The Small Gold was the only one affected to fall through the cracks.

There was also a misunderstanding where a couple members mistakenly suggested that it be labeled as a Distraction item. After that mixup and a stern refusal by the devs in the patch notes, it feels like they have ignored any and all suggestions to the Small Goldbar.

I’ve completed it on PS5.

I’m experiencing this too. My count has also been reset to ‘0’. Completing the first featured contract changes it to ‘1’, and the gun isn’t in my inventory.

Note: I farmed the first contract before the changes were made, so it could be related.

This is also missing. I just have the proximity version.

@Travis_IOI
Urine For It challenge in Landslide is completed now, but The Gig Is Up still bugged and can’t be completed

This is not considered as a bug from IOI. IOI explained in its website on Known Issues webpage:

  • Next Mission
    The ICA Facility location does not show a ‘Next Mission’ tile intentionally, because what players would consider to be the ‘next’ mission will depend entirely on what they own and what they have previously played.

I still haven’t tried to complete “Closing Statement” on Mendoza, which was my last big bug, instead going to Untouchable, to see if I could get some stuff done there. Hoping Train Surfing works once I get the SA/SO done. Now, on to the issue.

Platform: PS4 Pro, Disc ( Physical )

Location: Carpathian Mountains

Description: Snowing inside the train

Frequency: Always

This has been present since the first time I played it in late April, until now. I didn’t play at all during Patch 1.05, so I’ve only played it, to the the best of my knowledge, with patches 1.04 and 1.06 ( the PS designations for the patches ) In addition to this, my PS4 Pro seems to be running extremely hot during this mission…

It may not look like much in a still image, but the effect is much more pronounced when it’s all whipping past you at 100 kph, and it happens throughout most, if not all, of the entire mission. Even during the cut-scenes at the beginning and end of the mission. I have looked, but cannot find any evidence, either video or picture, of this happening to anyone else.

Platform: PS5 - Disk

Location: Mumbai

Description : Mumbai “Shopping District” Location doesn’t unlock. Consequently, the challenge for discovering all the location is unobtainable and remains at 51/52

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game
  2. Load the Mumbai Mission
  3. Discover the locations until you arrive at the Shopping District
  4. See that the location remains undiscovered

Frequency : Always

Hey I managed to fix this problem by going to the store menu on hitman 2 and claiming the hitman 2 standard access pass through there. As soon as I did that everything worked again like normal.

Ah, thanks for the correction. I’ll remove it from my bug post.

Weird that H3 has this behavior, though. Hitman 2 correctly suggests Showstopper as the next mission if you own the Legacy Pack. Still a little odd that Hitman 3 can’t manage to do the same.

Platform: Xbox Series X (and S?)
Location: Menus
Description: The tiles on the menu screen flicker like crazy when you move between them. Some of them flicker at an alarming rate constantly.

Make sure you’re watching it in a high enough resolution to see the flicker. On a large TV screen it is truly horrible and makes you feel quite quesy.

Had to force quit H3. PC Epic

When I got into the game I get a flood of notifications from Epic about all my achievements. Things I’ve gotten over the course of… I don’t know when. I think some of them might’ve been from H1 and H2. I thought it did that after the progress transfer.

About the force quit… I was going to try to get 100 completion of challenges for Berlin, but it froze upon stage start. All I could hear was ambient crowd noise. I had to alt+tab and close the window from there.

Ctrl+F4 wouldn’t do it. :slightly_frowning_face:

Platform: PC/ Digital

Location: Anywhere

Description: I am unable to use four of the weapons that I have unlocked in my career inventory with either an agency pickup or briefcase. They show up in the inventory, but disappear in mission set-up. The weapons currently unavailable are the Bartoli 12G Short H, Shashka A33 H, ICA Bartoli Woodsman Hunting Rifle Covert, and the Jaeger 7 MK 2.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Select Mission
  2. equip briefcase/ select agency pickup
  3. select shotgun/ assault/ sniper tab

Frequency: The number of weapons that became unavailable increased over a period of a couple months, and are always unavailable if played online. When switched to offline, they are all available.

Anyone else use either the “carved” knife, or the dagger that doubles as a poison vial? Anytime you use it, whether stabbing or attacking from behind - it doesn’t make any sound?

I haven’t noticed the flickering with my Series S. I’ll check again tomorrow when I get back on.

Yeah, no flicker here on the Series X running at 4K.

  3. Game freezes on loading in
