Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

Can you use it to get past a frisk point? Maybe have a pistol in it and then drop the other pistol before heading to the checkpoint ? I also wonder what happens if the briefcase is discovered while you’re running around without it.

Cool find though.

My Spanish friend told me recently that Alma means ‘soul’, which is a nice forboding name for a hitman target.

You got me interested so I googled what Reynard means.

The answer is fox

Soul fox, heh, like a kitsune

You don’t need that method. Just approach a frisk point with an illegal item in your briefcase. Place it (not drop it) on the floor as close to the frisk point as possible. Get frisked, then pick up the briefcase and carry on your merry illegal way. :wink:

Yea I know. I was just curious.

I don’t actually play with any of those “things that don’t make any sense.” All for people doing it of course. Whatever makes people happy, but for me muffin hopping a ledge was never part of my playstyle.

I don’t know if this has been posted here before but if you shoot the front mansion gate open, two of the six guards there will show up outside of the gate, even if you step a bit close to the gate, they will only see you as if you’re trespassing but not a hostile area


(Excuse the fact that I took this with my phone and that I’m playing on Casual mode)

Just found out (the other day) that *H3 on the Nintendo Switch is… Free? :thinking:

*Cloud version.

I didn’t get it since I already have it on PC, but I am curious as to what’s up with that. Unless it’s just the Demo and ICA Training facility… Then you can purchase all the other missions. I’m thinking - most likely.

Hitman 3 Cloud Version is essentially the Nintendo Switch version of the game. But instead of running locally like most games on the platform, the title is streamed to the Switch over the internet and requires a constant internet connection. Control , another demanding home console title, did a similar thing in 2020. This version is also not available on the other consoles.

Hitman 3 Cloud Version shows up as free on the eShop, but don’t be completely fooled. It only appears that way because this short trial only lets players test their connection before fully committing to this game. Players only get three minutes in the game before the Access Pass is required.

I wonder if the access passes or main game ever go on sale for the Switch.

We’ll never know unless someone can verify it themselves, since all the “DLC” for the Cloud Trial is locked behind unlisted in-game links to those eShop pages… and price tracking websites can’t find those.

Personally it really wouldn’t be worth it to get an extremely internet-based option, based on streaming no less for the full price of the same game.
The game servers are one thing, the company streaming the game is another… if the streamer goes down, that’s it for you. Or if you have poor connection, it must be a struggle to have a fair experience.

If you knock multiple times in a row on the door the guards will shoot you too

In the cinematic that plays after Hawke’s Bay (I forget it’s title), right at the end, after Diana says that it’s time to break a few rules, you see a partially cut off billboard for Ether light up with the words “Because Family Comes First”. Never paid attention to that moment and so never noticed it, but it’s a nice little foreshadowing of what was to come for the rest of the trilogy.

Relatable, honestly.

Yeah, I’ve found that out myself in which I wanted to make a contract out of it just to lure the guy outside of the mansion just so I could push him :sweat_smile:

Can’t say for sure but there are dozens, if not hundreds, of titles on some sort of sale at any given moment on the Nintendo eShop; I would assume Hitman 3 dabbles in a sale or two every once in a while.

It’s probably not worth it to get an internet based game on any Nintendo console, especially one that can be portable; Nintendo and the internet don’t exactly get along even under the best of circumstances.

Yeah, I have enough trouble opening the eShop, let alone getting anything from there.

What better way to spend time waiting for Freelancer than this short documentary I recently found about the reveal of HITMAN 2016, the fan reactions, and IOI’s own up until the release of the first episode.

You may recognize users like Norseman (Mads47), Quinn, and ampburner as some very lucky early testers/contract creators.

And introducing @Clemens_IOI as: “Hitman fan and contract creator” oh how times have changed… wow.
