Wasn't sure where to put it (inb4 sexjokes), so i decided to make a new thread. Admins can split it to another thread if they like.
I was streaming this afternoon, and i found out something that was quite a suprise.
If you knock the prisoner out, and drag him somewhere, as soon as his body has been found, he dies. Haven't seen anyone bring this up, and the people who were watching my stream were quite suprised aswell.
Just something i wanted to share.
Kisses
EDIT: very curious what would happen if you do this while making a contract, how will they kill show up. Huehue
We're now 5 months into Hitman's release and I still can't play the game that I payed for. Sadly I was one of the stupid buggers that got stuck with a preorder of this game before they snuck in the "online only" disclaimer at the title screen. Do not jump up and say that the game is playable offline because it simply isn't true. To say nothing of the unlockables being unavailable offline, the entire game locks after about two weeks in offline mode, requiring "authentication". I doubt many people on here have to deal with not having access to internet on a regular basis but in cases like mine it's a real pisser. After blowing $60 on this I expected a hell of a lot more understanding from the devs, but continue to get stonewalled. I know there's already a bunch of other topics on here complaining about the online only requirements but this is a real problem, as the requirements were not announced prior to my placing the preorder and there was no option for me to get a refund by the time the disclaimer was added. It's easy to be dismissive of complaints made on the internet as there are many and they rarely amount to much, however, it should be understood that there is a strong case for fraud here and many folks are tired of this kind of corporate abuse.
hey. from some reasons i cant get the "no evidence" challenge. i am really dont know why. i did everything right. never sppoted and never recorded on camera. mabey i didnt get it cuz when i eliminate claus strenberg with remote explosives hide in camera i killed another officer with him? am i doing something wrong?
hi there im new on the forum and english is not my nativ language so please forgive me fir incorrect words and stuff like that.. i have a question for the future of the game! do you think its possible that we get a better point system at one time? something like style points for a run. that would mean if you kill your target a stylish way you get points for that also if you complete the mission in a smooth way and SO or something like that. at the moment its only 4-5 things that count and the rest is only the time. i dont like that you must run all day to get some points. also i would like to see trophies for doing the missions SA/SO. and in general more trophies than the actual ones, and ones there are really hard to get because these that are in game at the moment are not really challenging. i hope you understand what im trying to say and i hope im not the only one who thinks that would be a good idea
Since it's (Finally) getting closer to the release of the bonus episodes, I've been starting to wonder about the menu placement of the challenges list.. So, as we all (Probably.) know, from the main menu you go to career, hit on challenges and we're then given a list of destinations instead of individual mission challenges.. will the new challenges just get bundled in with the already existing destination choice.. or have their own place in the challenges menu? I know it's completely irrelevant to game play in almost every way buuuttt 'eh. Curiosity killed a cat, not me.
I think it is silly that 47 can shoot someone in the butt and then punch them in the temple and they get knocked out.
And you say, "Golgo obviously you can use a hammer or wrench or Dr. Soda!"
I could. But it seems so videogamey to me. I think part of it comes down to inventory clutter for myself and how 47 has no unique distance oriented non lethal tools that he can choose to bring. From a gameplay perspective everything works well for the most part. But shooting someone in the rear end and going Austin Powers JUDO CHOP was fun the first 47 times. Now it just makes me want something unique to the ICA. Or a shotgun with wrenches. Make it the return of the paper tube. Loads non lethal tools and shoots them.
I'm kidding. But it'd make clearing two guard rooms more fun than using the SMG Covert for its super non effective lethal ammo knockouts.
I'd play even more contracts if I actually had something to earn every week. I'd go for SA a lot more if 5 or 10 complete meant a different model of Fiberwire. I like how the game rewards the hardcore through mastery levels. So why not have Contracts Mastery Levels? Or Elusive Target Mastery Levels? Or Escalations Mastery Levels?
It seems like such a simple thing. This Hitman game already has countless ways to play. Why not encourage that?
Reward my time and love of the game more. If we can have Escalations and Elusives and Contracts weekly why can't we unlock a new in game weapon weekly?
Hell I'd be happy with unlocking already available weapons and items in levels like the Compact AR or the pistol or shotgun, or Baton as examples.
Give me the initial gunshot wound back, please. I know this is a dead horse and I'm kicking it and I get it... I'm sorry, but as someone who gets headshots only, I miss the correlating damage and the appropriate gunshot sound that you only get on second, third, fourth shots after engaging an enemy. Travis, Tourbon and the lady on the stream didn't mention anything yesterday about it, and no lie, it's getting on my nerves a tiny bit... I'm OCD, so maybe it's bothering me more than it should, but it's like being used to eating chocolate strawberries and then suddenly, you're just getting delicious strawberries without the chocolate. Yes, the strawberry is still delicious, but I paid for the chocolate coating, damnit....
I've only had enough time to watch the first fifteen minutes of the most recent live stream and I was curious if we could compile a list of significant information that was mentioned?
It was really disheartening seeing that the bullet holes still haven't been fixed... It was perfect before the pistol rebalancing
The Summer Bonus Episode consists of two separate ICA missions which catalogue Agent 47’s first trips to both Sapienza and Marrakesh. This Episode is not part of the story arc of HITMAN, being previous ICA missions they are set apart from the main story.
A House Built on Sand (Targets: Kong Tuo-Kwang and Matthieu Mendola) Set at the frenetic night markets in Marrakesh, a mole for a major construction company is about to sell secrets to their largest rivals. Agent 47 is tasked with making sure the leak stops there and has been tasked with putting an end to the deal by eliminating two targets and recovering critical documents.
The Icon (Target: Dino Bosco) When the town of Sapienza is taken over by a film crew shooting a new sci-fi blockbuster, Agent 47 must aim to retire one of the cast members during a climactic scene being staged late at night in the town square.

The HITMAN Summer Bonus Episode consists of two separate ICA missions which catalogue Agent 47’s first trips to both Sapienza and Marrakesh. This Episode is not part of the story arc of HITMAN, being previous ICA missions they are set apart from the main story.
In Sapienza, ‘The Icon’, sees the town taken over by a film crew shooting a new sci-fi blockbuster complete with a 100ft mechanical killer robot in the middle of the town square. And in ‘A House Built on Sand’ players will travel to the noisy and busy night markets of Marrakesh where Agent 47 must stop a billion dollar deal taking place.
The Summer Bonus Episode is available for players who own the Full Experience or own the combination of Intro Pack + Upgrade Pack, at no additional cost. For all other players, the Summer Bonus Episode will be available for individual purchase later in the Season, packaged together with a third bonus mission for one price. At that time, Full Experience and Upgrade Pack owners will also get access to the third bonus mission at no additional cost.
2 new ICA missions: 'The Icon' and 'A House Built on Sand' 8 new Opportunities, 4 for each new mission. 2 new weapon/gear unlocks (earned through challenges) - The Iconator - Janbiya 2 Agency Pickup locations, 1 for each new mission 60 new challenges across both new missions 7 new trophies/achievements Live Content for Summer Bonus Episode will include: New Escalation Contracts, Elusive Targets and New Featured Contracts (Contracts Mode).
After a maintenance period, all HITMAN players will be prompted to download a game update on July 19th. We expect the update to be available to download between 11am and 1pm UTC for players on PS4 and Xbox One. For PC players, we expect the update to be available to download between 1pm and 3pm UTC. All players will receive the update with the following improvements and changes to the game.
New Additions
Leaderboards now display the Contract completion time of all players, when viewing their detailed score.
Added a detailed pop-up of the required Target Kill/Objective conditions on the Briefing Page and Notebook.
Added a tile to the ‘Destination’ page that shows the next upcoming destination.
Added Tips and Hints to the Loading Screen.
Added a filter on the Challenges menu that allows you to toggle which challenges are displayed. There are three options: ‘Show all’, ‘Show achieved’ or ‘Show unachieved’.
Added an option under Options:Gameplay to toggle the Challenge Completion pop-up. This is shown in the top-right hand corner when you complete a challenge. There are two options: ‘Show Challenge notifications’ or ‘Hide Challenge notifications’.
Added an option under Options:Gameplay to toggle ‘Target Indicators’ on the Mini Map. There are two options: ‘On’ or ‘Off’.
Challenges for Elusive Targets have been moved to their own category, allowing players to have a better overview of the challenges that have been completed on each mission.
When selecting a contract in the Contracts menu, the location and mission name will be shown. Example: Marrakesh / A Gilded Cage.
The Featured Hub will now display the newest episodic content.
In the case of a disconnection from the servers whilst browsing the game menu, a ‘Reconnect’ option has been added.
The mission briefing videos for the first three Sarajevo Six missions have been added to the briefing page for each respective mission. (PS4 only)
Changes to Existing Features
Unconscious targets can now be dumped into body containers that allow the player to then kill them. For example, unconscious targets can now be dumped in the shredder and acid containers in the World of Tomorrow mission. Sorry, Silvio.
Adjusted the design of the surveillance system so that all cameras are linked on a “global” system within the mission. All cameras are now connected to all recorders in a mission and if a player disables one recorder, all cameras no longer record 47.
Changes to how the ICA Remote Audio Distraction item functions. This item now attracts the attention of other characters only if is remotely activated, as intended. Previously, it would attract attention as soon as it was equipped. NPCs become suspicious of the device if 47 is carrying it or they discover it.
Changes to how the Remote Breaching Charge item functions. This item now has a small, lethal explosive radius.
The ‘Featured Contracts’ order has been 'reversed', so that the newest Contracts are shown first when viewing the list.
Elusive Target status is now only shown on the Featured Hub for the duration of the contract. The game will no longer permanently remind you that you failed an Elusive Target.
Updated the Escalation Contract Briefing page to show the newest objective/complication first, on the left side. You no longer need to scroll to the right to see the newly added complication.
Updated some of the Challenge descriptions to reflect that you can still erase evidence after being recorded.
Fixes for Existing Issues
General stability improvements across all platforms
Fixed a handful of issues that could lead to dips in performance in Marrakesh.
Fixed an issue that could result in 47 being spotted through the walls in a closed room in the markets during the A Gilded Cage mission.
Fixed an issue where guards in the ‘hunting’ state would know exactly where 47 was located after a crime had been reported to them by a civilian. Now, guards will investigate the area where the civilian witnessed the crime, and not where 47 is currently located.
Fixed an issue where using a syringe with the ‘Silent Attack’ prompt would result in other characters reacting to the action. This action is now silent, as intended.
Fixed an issue that could cause some decals to not appear in the Final Test mission
Fixed rare issues that could cause opportunities in Paris to not update.
Fixed an issue where dragging bodies could result in 47 hands shaking unnaturally.
Fixed an issue where the complication timer during Escalation Contracts could skip a second, i.e going from 17 seconds remaining to 15 seconds remaining.
First, I'm from germany and my english languages skills are not the best. So sorry for any mistakes
I have created in the last couple of weeks some video guides for all level 5 Escalations. All videos are walkthroughs / guides and not speedruns or something like that. The videos are without any voiceover. You see at the beginning my loadout and then my way to solve the level 5 of the specific Escalation.
Here is the playlist link with all vids ( I can't post here all links because I'm a new user^^ )
as link ( * = t ) ht*p://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuGZAFj5iqHcozhVFyg-8JM6LyJJTG6JE
If you are interest on my content or guides for nearly any AAA game, take a look into my channel. As example, I have a full Hitman Absolution hard walkthrough incl all collectibles online
Following the successful online campaign to ‘Choose Your Hit’, where fans voted who would appear in HITMAN as a special target between two Hollywood big-hitters Gary Cole and Gary Busey. Gary Busey won and will appear in HITMAN as an Elusive Target for 7 days.
At 14:00 CEST / 05:00 PDT on Thursday 21st July, we’ll update the Elusive Target tile on the Featured Hub in-game and the contract will be live. Make sure you’re ready, because The Wildcard will be in Sapienza for 168 hours (7 full days) and there won’t be any second chances.
The briefing videos for Elusive Target Contracts are of critical importance. Your contract handler, Diana, will give you specific information that will help you identify your target. If you want to review the briefing at any time when the contract is live - even whilst you’re playing the contract itself, the HITMAN Companion is the ideal solution.
For every Elusive Target that is released, we’ll send notifications through the Companion, and you’ll be able to view the image, countdown and briefing video of the target for the duration of the contract.
For completing Elusive Targets, we have some very unique rewards that can be earned. For completing 5 Elusive Target Contracts, players will unlock the Hitman Absolution Signature Suit, with ICA tie pin and black leather gloves. For completing 10 Elusive Target Contracts, players will unlock the Blood Money Signature Suit, with gloves.
We want to make sure that the suit rewards you'll earn through Elusive Targets are prestigious, and that they can be unlocked at a faster rate. But, if you wait too long and miss too many Elusive Targets, you won't be able to unlock them all.
Here's the Hitman Absolution Signature Suit with gloves that you will unlock after completing 5 Elusive Target Contracts:
An Elusive Target is the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that we've ever created. Each one is a custom-created character with their own backstory and their own unique reason for being in that location. We call them Elusive Targets because they are added to an existing location for a limited time in real-time and you'll only have one chance to take them down. If you kill them, that's the way that you killed them. There are no do-overs and no second chances. When an Elusive Target leaves the game world, they never return.
As always, Diana will brief you with critical intel that will help you track down and kill the target. That intel is more important than ever because Elusive Targets do not appear as targets on the mini map or instinct. You'll need to explore, find your target, study their movements and come up with a plan to eliminate them - all whilst playing. The pressure will be on when you've got the target in your sights. If you miss the shot and chaos breaks loose, you will need to have a plan B, because the save-game is disabled during an Elusive Target contract.
We know that Elusive Targets are not going to be easy, they were designed that way.
Need a recap? This is Elusive Targets in a nutshell:
Elusive Targets are added to the game for a limited time in real-time. They won’t return.
You only get one chance to take them down. If you die, you fail the contract and cannot retry it.
Elusive Targets do not show up on the in-game map or Instinct. You need to locate and identify them with limited intel.
Earn in-game rewards for completing multiple Elusive Target contracts throughout the season.
Every Elusive Target adds two unique challenges to the game; one 'target' challenge for eliminating the specific Elusive Target and a 'Silent Assassin' challenge for eliminating the target without being spotted and without any non-target casualties.
Can anybody confirm the summer bonus levels release time?
If I had to guess, I would say it will be the same as the others (5pm UK - God damn it IO), but would absolutely love it if it happened to release earlier (12am UK - Make it happen IO).
Anyone experienced this? I was successful in killing the Twin and result war shown as successful but logged in today and no result shown under the sapienza destination. Also, where can we see the tally of successful elusive hits?

Could an IO representative explain what the heck they were thinking with leaving episodic buyers out of getting the summer episodes?
This type of marketing is something I would call passive-agressive. It only angers customers who went for buying piece by piece. Is that supposed to discipline customers for not buying the full thing right away?
I have just started playing the new mission in Sapienza, the Idol and noticed something interesting about the target. Many people have complained about how in all the other missions the targets have been clearly evil bad guys, engineering bioweapons, selling MI5 names and trying to cause a military coup. However in this mission the target may be a Diva, or a bit of an arsehole but the biggest crime he has committed is being a washed up film star who is making a film that has gone over budget. Nice to have a change and show 47 is fighting for good or trying to make the world a better place, he is killing for profit.
i have a question for the future of the game! do you think its possible that we get a better point system at one time? something like style points for a run. that would mean if you kill your target a stylish way you get points for that also if you complete the mission in a smooth way and SO or something like that. at the moment its only 4-5 things that count and the rest is only the time. i dont like that you must run all day to get some points. also i would like to see trophies for doing the missions SA/SO. and in general more trophies than the actual ones, and ones there are really hard to get because these that are in game at the moment are not really challenging. 
,so i think it's time to make the Summer bonus episode thread where Hitman forum can work together.
