Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

Ezra is a bad investigator. Shouldn’t he notice Mr. Rieper’s weird traveling pattern in 2000 :stuck_out_tongue: ?

And Bosco didn’t die? That’s really strange. My experience with headshots across the whole trilogy so far has seemed to be a 10/10 success. Didn’t know that wasn’t the case.

Ohh, they must have added (or bugged) bullet drop for pistols in H3… Hm, not sure if I enjoy that. (When playing the Lee Hong escalation, shooting an NPC in “the head” didn’t kill him which threw me for a loop. [around 2:15 in the video] the NPC wasn’t too far from 47 so that seemed odd. Maybe bullets really do drop that fast, but idk…

Nah my impression is H3 has the most lethal headshots.

The Bosco video:

Ah man, that second video brings me back… why can’t we destroy cameras with heavy items anymore? :anguished:

This is some clean stuff though, dude. Awesome job.

edit: Ohh you were talking about Headshots based on distance vs. the back of someone’s head. Right.

It’s funny to read that, cause on console the hitbox for heads is not working right at the moment. I had so many times that i shot the head and it didn’t kill the target. The little cross you get when you do a non lethal body shot is right at the head and it doesn’t kill. Sometimes even two shots or three didn’t kill the target. Using a pistol on console in hitman 3 feels even more clonky than in hitman 2.

In H2, the civilians in Whittleton Creek would walk to a secret guard if they saw a weapon on the ground. But now it seems like the civilians will walk to the regular guards rather than the secret ones

Not sure if this is what you mean about the hitboxes but you can get consistent headshots on console. You just have aim slightly above the head (especially at range) :smile:

AVGN reviews Hitman: “This game is my fucking ass, nah but seriously this game has some interesting mechanics”.

That’s good, must be because they tweaked the AI for the ICA Agents they decided to backport it over to them. Still don’t know why Corvo Black and Mateo Perez don’t have this AI however.

I wonder if that’s a bug or if it’s intended and the game has simulated bullet drop?

Bullet drop is never accurate in games though.
Depending on how the weapon was zeroed, a 230grain .45 acp (what 47 would be shooting from his signature pisrol) would drop 16 or 17 inches at 100 yards but It would drop only 3 inches at 50 yards.

Well, I just “discovered” the ice anvil easter egg in Haven, which I had absolutely no idea about, by complete accident…

I’ve never heard of this ice anvil egg.

Glad you said this, because somehow it’s passed me by as well.

Grab the ice anvil and then stop and swop it to HITMAN 3.

Not sure who have found this first, but I saw on livestream of (REDACTED) that if you conceal a micro remote taser in mailbox, it can work as electrocution phone. It is very useful in both main missions, as Cassidy and Vholes will retrieve it.

The Romania train commandos have the same helmet lights as the ICA Heavy Troopers. I feel like they’re a (very well done) reskin.

Edit: Oh even the shoulder pads are the same.

If anyone wants to try this I think you have to trigger the storm, then go head to the area in the picture of the island and there will be a tree with coconuts that you can shoot down, and apparently once you shoot them they immediately turn into an ice anvil? The woman might need to be under it. I read this online, haven’t tested.

The man who got served badly-prepared fugu in Hokkaido now works as a bodyguard in Miami, he’s in the security room at the top of the Kronstadt building. He will talk about it with the other guard, who refers to him as Al (probably Alfred/Allan or something in contracts mode).

He apparently doesn’t know that Kronstadt made the machine that saved his life (and possibly was used by 47 to kill Erich Soders), but his guard buddy tells him. I think he also says it was “a few weeks ago”.

Yes, that should be the way. I ran into it when going for The Pleasure achievement and just felt like shooting the coconuts as I was standing there, so I wasn’t sure if it’s related to it or not, but triggering the storm is enough (though I’m not sure if all targets have to be dead or not). Was quite surprised to say the least… Apparently the whole thing is a Jack Frost 2 reference or something…?
