HITMAN 3 – Tips & Tricks for a Beginner Silent Assassin in Trilogy



HITMAN 3, a Tips & Tricks for a Silent Assassin who is about to begin playing in Trilogy and all of its levels (There are 20 Main Missions + Tutorial + Bonus Missions + Patient Zero). Remember that HITMANs mechanics are so large that I was not surely able to find and explain everything because game is full of really small gimmicks. First, the most basic rules about Silent Assassin rank:

– Never caught trespassing
– Never enforced (yes, there are NPCs who can enforce you in default suit)
– Never spotted during illegal activities (such as opening doors with lockpicks)
– Only targets eliminated
– No pacified NPCs found (except NPCs pacified in accidents or with sedative poisons)
– Targets have to be never found dead when eliminated with anything else but poisons and accidents
– There can’t be any witness (even when you change disguise)
– Suit Only applies only to your default suit, not a disguise

It is possible to complete all Classics Challenges in one run (Silent Assassin, Suit Only, SASO + Sniper Assassin) in single run, but in this case all of the targets have to be eliminated with Sniper Rifle and all of the bodies can never be found (due to ballistic kill performed by player). Once a target is eliminated with accident or poison DO NOT TOUCH A BODY UNLESS YOU WANT TO HIDE IT. If anyone finds a body left by you after an accident or poison, it fails Silent Assassin. If you see a target near a window and you can’t push it through, you can always subdue it and then dump it – remember however to not snap a neck or garrote before, because necksnapping + fiber wire fail Silent Assassin. If you want to separate bodyguards from Targets for good, it is a good idea to place a weapon on their path – target will inform a guard about dropped weapon, forcing a bodyguard (sometimes other guard) to pick it up and stash it in the nearest location.

  2. Body dragging doesn't matter if they died from poison or most accidents (I've dragged drown, poison, fall kills and it never voided SA when someone saw them) in my experience.
    I think it voiding SA is a bug with electric kills and you are meant to be able to drag accident kills without consequence
