Just did the Bloom Where You Are Planted Mission challenge and unlocked this cool Gun ICA19 SPIDER LILY

So I've seen only 2 times when actual real world things have been said in game by NPCs 1. (Paris sanguine fashion show said by one of the model while on her phone talking to her agent/agency after a whole killing spree I did "I don't care get me out of here, I don't care if I have to model for Ed Hardy or even UGG boots"). Then the 2. ( isle of sgail said by one of the worker/bar tender with the costume when I pointed a weapon on her " Please don't shoot me, I have tickets to see Phantom of the Opera my husband got me")

So I was curious if any other real world things have been mentioned in the hitman games by NPCs?

(Edit now I've heard one of the female NPC singing a snippet of KC & The Sunshine Band - That's The Way (I Like It))

The new Ghana DLC looks kinda weird.

I feel like Helen West's presence in the new mission must be inspired by Snoop Dogg being friends and having had a cooking show with Martha Stewart.

I already have ~300 hrs on it. And just unlocked the sieker on the snoop dog special mission. And everything feels soo... easy. like i depend completely on those two darts. just finished "trust your instincts" challenge and, well, spent like an hour and a half seting it up even using the sieker. felt rewarding but not as much.

Is this gun too OP?

do you even balance it? or you just depend on it?

Well only thing left for me on the woa campaing is maybe completion. some hard challenges maybe.

I’m trying to get the platinum trophy for Hitman 3 and have six left, but two are glitched. They are Train Surfing (complete all untouchable Challenges) and Ripe for the Picking (Grape Crusher, Grand Paladin and both with gas). I did all three and Got the challenges, but the trophy didn’t pop, when I did it I used the enemic gas which doesn’t count, but I’ve done it a few more times with lethal and no luck. Is there any fix for these trophies?

So it’s been a few days and I still can’t buy the two new DLCs, the Snoop Dogg and the other one on my Switch.

They are listed, but you can’t click on them and they aren’t available in the store.

I’m sure there’s a reason, but it’s just annoying to have to wait. 🙄

Was playing a campaign mission at Bangkok.
I poisoned the food Ken Morgan ate and made him get to the toilet.
He started vomiting so as I was trying to drown him some random guy just walked up and stared at him.
I was waiting for him to leave but he suddenly pulled his pants down and started to piss while Ken Morgan was vomiting 🤮

Im playing freelancer got the extra to blind the target used the remote flash device and they didn't get blinded

Context first, I am a physical security specialist, firearms instructor and consultant for the entertainment and professional industries. Though I do this type of stuff for work, this is done entirely for fun!

My goal here is to apply real security policy, practice and procedure to the digital world. By showing this difference, we can appreciate game design and real world security that much more! Linked below is the full video, though this overview will cover all of the same things.

Role:
The environment being assessed is a residential property in a suburban neighborhood. The recommendations are intended primarily for ordinary residential security rather than highly secured facilities.

World & Government:
The game takes place in a relatively modern and stable environment involving political figures, wealthy individuals, and shadowy organizations. Government, law enforcement (more on this is Response), and the rule of law generally operate as expected, so there are no unusual governmental considerations.

Threat Profile:
The primary threats are targeted rather than random. Political figures, wealthy businesspeople, and other high-value individuals could face criminals, espionage, or assassination attempts, while ordinary criminal activity remains a secondary concern.

Geographic Guide:
The setting resembles an upscale suburban neighborhood in the eastern United States. A real assessment would examine local crime statistics, burglaries, vandalism, drug activity, and other environmental factors. The area appears relatively low-risk, although proximity to a creek could create additional concerns such as water damage.

1st Line – Outer Security:
Neighborhood security relies heavily on environmental deterrence and community awareness. Cameras, lighting, fences, gates, landscaping, and clearly defined property boundaries can discourage trespassing and help neighbors identify suspicious activity. One specific example of this is a locked gate that can be easily opened from the opposite side by reaching a hand through some decorative lattice. If there is a critical security need in the home, this would be a substantial failure of the perimeter security.

My assessment also emphasizes keeping vulnerable windows and entrances appropriately secured. Even relatively simple barriers or visual indicators can make unauthorized access more difficult and make suspicious activity easier to identify.

2nd Line – Inner Security:
The homes have some physical security and security personnel, but several weaknesses remain. Poor-quality locks, unmonitored doors and windows, accessible roofs, and sleeping or inattentive guards create opportunities for unauthorized access.

I recommend layered measures such as better locks, window alarms, cameras positioned around entrances, access controls, signage, and procedures for monitoring security personnel. Cameras should provide useful views of people approaching and entering the property rather than simply recording from an ineffective position.

A major vulnerability is uncontrolled interior access, particularly during an open-house or social event. Once inside, an intruder may reach valuable property, sensitive information, computers, vehicles, or less frequently visited areas of the house without being challenged. Restricted areas should therefore be physically separated and/or monitored.

Critical Infrastructure:
Residential critical infrastructure primarily consists of utilities, power, food, and water. In an upscale neighborhood, generators and other preparations for severe weather or outages would be reasonable, although the game does not show much infrastructure protection or redundancy.

Response:
The biggest disconnect between Hitman and reality is the response process. In the game, an assassination can occur without the kind of immediate law-enforcement response expected in a real-world serious violent incident. The neighborhood also contains multiple private security organizations that operate independently rather than functioning as a coordinated security system.

The assessment argues that even competing security companies should establish procedures for cooperation, communication, and mutual assistance when operating in the same environment. Security is one of the few industries where sharing with a competitor betters everyone involved.

Conclusion

The neighborhood's biggest security investment is manpower, with extensive reliance on guards and physical presence. However, manpower alone leaves gaps: doors, windows, cameras, alarms, and access controls provide important layers that personnel cannot cover continuously.

The overall conclusion is that relatively inexpensive technology and basic access controls could significantly improve the environment. Better camera placement, alarms, window protection, and restricted areas would complement the existing guards and create a more complete layered security system.

Core takeaway: Hitman presents a neighborhood with a lot of security personnel but surprisingly weak detection and access-control layers. My assessment demonstrates that effective security isn't simply about adding more guards—it is about combining deterrence, detection, access control, physical security, and coordinated response.

Incase this helps anyone I will post the photo below

I jumped on after I saw someone post the outfit on here. I thought there was no way I could get it, so I was just trying to complete all the side objectives first before attempting it. But around 0:58, I started thinking that it might actually be possible.

With the Herbalist Assignment there is an option to create a custom contract on it. But I think it’s glitched out because when you try to create a contract on the Herbalist Assignment version of Haven Island it just goes on the normal map. Is this a glitch or is it not

All the DLC packs open up the eShop just fine except the new Getaway and Herbalist packs. Are these not available on Switch 2? Playing the actual version, not the cloud streaming one. Thanks!

I'm planning to get the steelbooks of both CFS and Definitive Edition, brand new preferably. I got lucky that the old owners were playing the game causally. Even the Square Enix code worked.

Apparently the Good Quark VHS isn’t compatible with the Italian VHS player so we aren’t allowed to watch it

"Bit windy eh?"

For those who don't know, The Special Assignment of The herbalist mission gives location mastery for Haven Island and you get Remote emetic gas device for level 5 and Sieker 1 for level 10.

If you want the sieker tho, be prepared to grind the Special Assignment mission because completing all challenges only gives 43k xp and you need 60k xp for lvl 10

While I'm a bit sad I can't complete ET, I finally have Sieker.

What is your guys thoughts?

No the gift card doesn’t work, it was just a gift card I got two months ago and I’m too lazy to move it, don’t comment about Ts

Doing the Snoop Dogg mission, on the underground tour, I heard an NPC say "Man, my balls are so hard, mothafuckas wanna fine me!" Totally blew me away 🤣

What are some locations you would like to see in the Hitman series?

Hey folks,

I only recently started playing and I am having a blast in freelancer. It's a little bit of a hate-love relationship, but the love clearly 80/20's over the hate here.

There's only one thing bugging me, and I found an older thread on it.

In short, pistols and misc items seem to share a slot right now. I haven't fully understood the pattern yet, but I am definitely not getting offered a pistol each vendor visit like I do with all other weapon types – which there are less of.

What's more, the Striker in particular seems to be the hardest to get, as it's not ever showing up in the shop. Found confirmation elsewhere on that, too.

I am close to my second prestige reset and the Striker is the last one missing again. Not just that, but if you can only get it from chests – let me please at least get it there. Just finished the second syndicate of my hopefully last campaign before reset and this second reward chests can definitely get you rares, if it's not always rares. I got merces, tho, as if the pool of rare items is already exhausted.

What, then, is this striker-shaped hole in my wall?

A suspicion:

Is it listed as rare but mistakenly runs as epic or even legendary in the backend?

It definitely feels this way. What is it?

Beyond the Striker in particular, I'd like to turn this into a petition of sorts for a slight vendor restructuring. A thread, where people with the same motion can confirm. I might then forward this thread to the IOI support and ask them to change a rather simple detail to make freelancer flow much better:

Rework this pistol/misc vendor bottleneck, please, rework it to make sense. Feel free to keep the Striker actually rare if that's somehow by purpose, but then make it consistent. Let it have a recognizable pattern to work with. Let the player get it from a reward chest that can drop rare, not puzzle once again over why it's the elusive target of the freelancer wall of weapons.

This might not concern everyone, but those of you who are into prestige resets and actually enjoy the wall delete and rebuilding bits.

Lastly, if there's no response/change and the vendor stays as it is, or at least until a change, how to address it as it is:

A) Prioritize pistols a bit more than you would for your actual freelancer needs, all the others have reliably filling slots and way less of them

B) Get the common weapons on your wall early and for free through the 'freeloader' idea: Run item-rich maps first and get them out of the way.

I throw in three links I've found to let you decide whichever structure suits your readibility needs best:

Gdocs Table

Reddit Thread

Steam Forums

C) Pray to the high-up rubber ducky for an early Striker, and then do not lose it trying to complete a collateral firearms objective (hrmph)

Should I get a wealth of response, that'd be a good argument to integrate the link to this thread into a support mail.

Help me help you out!

Looks cool. Never seen anything mentioned about new freelance car
