I could imagine a level with an Elon Musk/Richard Branson type throwing a party on their giant luxury space station. Maybe another target could have stolen ICBM launch codes and plans to launch them so Earth below burns a la the plot of Moonraker. Unique kills are sucking out the oxygen in part or whole of the space station so everyone dies in a freak 'accident', sabotaging a space suit's jet thrusters so the target is sent flying off to the darkest reaches of space/burns up in the atmosphere, turning up the artificial gravity so the target is crushed under the weight, etc etc.

Basically you should be able to pull off Movie Night from Venture Bros.

It seems like going to space is definitely a thing rich people can easily do in this universe, so it's not that far out there to have a mission in space. It doesn't even have to be zero-g. It could be like Gargantua 2 in Venture Bros.

Yeah half the people in the final mission are talking about Ark space colonies. Have one that's like idk 47 goes to Mars in this one, you can push someone out an airlock and escape on a rocket ship

A space station or moon base would have so many amazing kill opportunities. :allears:

I would also accept an undersea base, for a different flavor of James Bond and the inevitable opportunity to assassinate someone by getting a shark to eat them.

Come to think of it, besides the cruise liner level I'd hoped for from a 'North Atlantic' map in this game, a map aboard a military ship could be very interesting. An American supercarrier has a crew of over a thousand and could make for a really interesting level.

It's this one.


On one hand, a great reason to replay the old levels and show them who is the boss (it's you). On the other hand there's so many way to play Hitman, do you really need to go out of your way to get that specific tool?

Replaying the old maps is fun and good. It seems like they changed some of the unlocks anyway. Do I wish I could have all the stuff I had in Hitman 1? Yeah, but I'll get it all back eventually.

Upside is that when you unlock the old and new version of something you can, iirc, take both at once. (makes some challenges a fuckload easier)

Does non lethal rat poison not work? I'm not sure how to pull off any of the toast poisoning challenges anyway, I haven't found a disguise that gives you access to the room and lets you poison indiscreetly, and there are people fuckig everywhere

It's a reference to the ipecac scene from Family Guy, so my guess is you're supposed to poison everyone with emetic. You'll need 5 sources of emetic poison for the four council members and Sophia; you can't poison Block's drink, nor would you really want to.

The waiters with the striped vests and peacock masks can go upstairs, though they'll be frisked. This should be intuitively clear, as there's one or two up there already. They can poison all the drinks right in front of the four people in the room.

EDIT: Similar Sgail question, how the hell do you do The Final Countdown? It says you have to kill the twins "after the Constant escapes," but as far as I can tell you can't do anything about the Constant until the twins are dead. Is there some way to either trigger him to respond to 47 earlier, or a way to make him forcibly evacuate somehow?

Could you knock one of them out to get the kill switch from them, use that to convince him to leave, and then go back and actually kill her?

I was experimenting with the sniper rifle there and I killed the Upstairs lady which made the Downstairs lady sad and made The Constant run to the helicopter which Lucas Gray steals and gets him away. It causes a 5 minute countdown for you to kill the last sister. I guess you could trigger that escape with both alive??

No. You can't talk to the Constant at all even if you have one (or both!) unless the objective updates to talk to him, which only happens when the twins are dead. There's clearly some way to make it happen, and it appears to involve the helicopter since that's the challenge icon, but I have yet to figure out what or how.

Hmm. Maybe if you spook the Constant enough, or spook the targets enough, without killing any of them?

EDIT: Figured it out. Knock him out, then let someone discover him and wake him up. This seems to make him evacuate pretty reliably.

EDIT EDIT: Now I wonder how you get King of the Castle except by physically dragging Zoe all the way upstairs. You can get Sophia to the penthouse, but how do you get her sister there in a non-insane way?

I hadn't noticed if you equip the blindfolded Entertainer disguise on Sgail everything goes dim because 47 is navigating purely using instinct mode.

Also holy poo poo I already have full mastery on Miami but I hadn't known about the stig disguise.

Yeah, and if you equip the knight armor disguise you can't crouch or climb/vault anymore. Wish more disguises had weird quirks like that.

Though my favorite disguise-related thing has nothing to do with 47: I was doing contracts that required killing the mascots in Miami and kept whiffing headshots until it occurred to me that the head of the flamingo is not where the human head is located.

Mostly I was just salty that I didn't have Deadly/emetic vials available from the word go. Emetic is usually easy enough to find on the ground in the mission, but sometimes I just want to drop deadly poison and go and that's a lot harder to find in mission except in certain circumstances (deadly fugu fish).
