In Chongqing there are areas you can go in certain disguises I recently learned about. The Street Guard outfit is legal in the roof area around Hush’s satellite. Also both of the ICA Facility guard disguises are legal in the rooftop with all the drones patrolling as well as the area with guards above the laundromat. I always assumed you would be trespassing in those areas since the guards there have different outfits.
Lately, I’ve been playing Master Mode ( ) trying to go for SA and suit only -if possible.
I started with Santa Fortuna. I can get SA, but can’t do SO.
With Mumbai, I use the Kashmirian. There are a couple NPCs that keep spotting me tranq him. So I try to deal with them before getting his disguise.
Isle of S’gail I can get SA/SO. This one surprised me!
I’ve seen speed runs on it where a sniper rifle is used to shoot the torch by the burning money to get Sophia(?) (whichever has short hair) down to the effigy. You can pick the torch up, but it’s an illegal action to light the money with it… But I’ve found you can just toss the torch into the money and it will summon the target to go next to the effigy.
Mendoza has torches like this too. I think whatever actions are illegal in Mendoza with a torch are supposed to be the same in the Isle of S’gail. I was surprised to find I could throw it and not get in trouble.
It was illegal to throw the torches in H2, was made legal in H3 at some point (after Ambrose came out?)
It’s possible. All the main missions, and most of the side missions too, can be done SASO with no loadout, no KOs, and no legshot cheese too.
People better at the game than I am have piled on even more restrictions too.
It’s a common myth that shooting the torch itself does anything. What’s actually going on is that shooting the inside of the wall around the pit (more or less straight-on) lights the fire.
Oh, they changed that? I’ll have to try it.
Throwing in the flare found in the level works too, as does The Big One and concussive ducks.
Richard Magee from the deceivers goes back and forth between the office and the room with a bathroom, the guy and the girl are annoying because he never moves and she has a problem with me being in the bathroom to subdue her when I lure her there but I found they never leave unless they somewhat know that I killed the target in the bathroom despite the door was closed, and if you subdue the woman in the bathroom even with the door closed, somehow he knows then brake his office loop to sip on coffee at the ice cream shop at a table ouside then never leaves.
In New York, if you set off explosives in the ground floor, central area, the full-length glass panels will shatter and you can walk through their frames.
In Hokkaido, there is a spot by the chopper where you can do a “double vault” (as well as a long jump down, on the way back). I cannot think of any other place in the game that has this. Can you?
I think there might be one similar in the free form trainning near the gate down towards the speedboat. Its one of the boxes that are in front of the gate.
I’ll have to load that up for the first time in years and have a look.
The full-length windows shattering makes sense, but I’ve just never done it before. Never blew up an explosive in the banking area, not until Freelancer tempted me with a safe there. The only other location I can think of those existing is Haven… any place else I’m forgetting?
Huh, never knew that. If you shoot some walls in The Bank with a shotgun they’ll break, so it probably goes with that
It was cool seeing IOI try new things in real time with H2’s expansion pass. This, bananas, and wet floor signs…good times
Just found out about Hitman & Jane Perry showing up at the Algeria Game Awards today.
She was invited to announce Best Performance in a Lead Role and there’s a Hitman intro to the segment
Here’s the video:
Algeria does Game Awards better than Geoff Keighley Game Awards
The long, uninterrupted (albeit pre-recorded) message from an Industry Vet - Jane Perry and the nominees have a little blurb about the actor talking about their role or at least Sam Lake doing that lol
Also, it’s in english? Huh.
I think Hi-Fi RUSH won their Music award!
I was watching HITMAN1’s credit. Just found out Hans Lucht is one of the additional writers. They named the journalist in Dubai after him.
I also found out these beautiful concept arts.
In Santa Fortuna, you can peep back at the guy who peeps into Andrea Martinez’s compound.
He freaks out and goes to cower behind the house next door.
Did not know that! That can come in handy!
I wonder if that is what he looks like as well?
I’d like to know that too. Let’s ask @DrMekar to see if Hans has a unique face or share it with other NPCs. What do you think, Doc?
That’s Head_Caucasian_60s_01 (or Hector as I named him), a Generic NPC Head.
He can be found in Miami on a few models, as James Batty in WC, on several models from Haven Island, in Dubai he’s Hans Lucht (as poined out) and he’s a Biker in Berlin.
(This should be all, he’re a few examples)
Berlin Biker
Kronstadt Employee
CEO (He’s using the Texture of Head_Caucasian_20s_01 on the last model)
That peeping guy was will remain on his phone but if you hop the wall, he will peep and I beleive alert the guards since you are trespassing in Andrea’s compound.
