It helps that 47 can be shot multiple times and keep going. I wonder if there'd be a place for game play where 47 takes the same kind of damages he deals...it would probably make stealth the only option, which might not always be everyone's cup of coffee. Same goes for Sam Fischer. Great games.
Reminds me of that scene in Once Upon A Time In The West: Three guys threatening one guy: "Looks like we're shy one horse." One guy: "you brought two too many."
I KNOW it's supposed to be a moment of genuine fear and stuff, but... he does a little hop when he switches from the "cutscene Cross" to the "ragdoll Cross" and it just. It's so funny, every single time
@@rickhealey4231 Soders remembers 47 using a jet's ejector seat to kill a man during what was supposed to be a training exercise. He doesn't want to find out what imaginative and cruel ways 47 is concocting in that bald head of his to kill him.
The Soders one is made doubly impressive when you remember how much effort you have to go through with sabotaging multiple layers of life support backups to be able to remotely kill him with a heart attack without the AI saving him, but seeing 47 is so shocking and terrifying that those systems can't revive him.
@@ZHL242 You can reveal yourself to him with the following suits: 1. The Signature Suit and the gloved variant 2. You can use the Absolution Suit for this one too Edit: Destroying the heart will count as Soders being eliminated, it's much better to let him see his would be assassin dressed in a suit and die of a heart attack
I love how straightforward he is in conversations with people about being an assassin, never hiding his true intentions, but just sly enough where it works in context and no one gets it. One thing I love about hitman is how he is supposed to be inconspicuous but he is the most conspicuous man always
"You know, after the bathroom, the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house." "Large room, two easy-to-get-to exits... dark floors hide stains easily... I'd say this is a room with infinite possibilities" I'm absolutely misquoting but there's no denying the house viewing in Whittleton Creek is gold.

Bro the canon way he did his kill on Viktor in the Showstopper was the most conspicuous, noticeable way of all. With multiple people dying in the process. He's the best least stealth assassin of all time lmao
In the Dartmoor level, if you solve the case completely first and accuse Zachary (the brother) and select "case file" over "money", Alexa will not only realize who you are, but also off herself by throwing herself off the balcony, saving you the trouble.
The last one is the most terrifying if you're in the target's shoes. Imagine being in the middle of a surgical situation, then seeing the face of the man that'll destroy you.
@@Amadmaniac1 honestly I would love to see a movie where 47 is the main antagonist with the camera/plot mostly focused on his target. 47 would be in disguise in the background for most shots I think. Idk how else it would work but I think the concept is cool. I think the 2015 Hitman movie started out kinda like that and that was probably my favorite part of it.

Idk why they never mention it but in the Dartmoor mission when you confront carlisle you can also say that you caused her brothers suicide after finding the right clues. Then once you confront her not only will you be able to get the file but she even does your job FOR YOU and falls off the ledge herself. Pretty unexpected the first time I found that out.
Which is funny as well because in the comics, Sodar is also a legendary assassin of his generation (basically 47 but boomer). He’s the one who bailed Diana out of her failed assassination attempt and took her in as ICA’s handler. For someone with so much influence on the main character he sure die the most cowardly way possible.
For once, I think Robert Knox's assumption of "sending a message" was quite reasonable. I don't see a different reason for 47 to trick him into killing his own daughter, if he was going to kill him next. It's risky and hardly efficent, compared to other options, and I also think it's out-of-character for 47. 47 is ruthless, but he is not cruel. He doesn't get kicks from making people miserable, unless it furthers his goals, or its required via contract. I think this option is more for us, the players, who enjoy doing horrible, horrible things in games, as well as finding out all the possibilities.
I make no assertions that I'm up on the in-game lore, but both Knoxes were informants to the "militia" mentioned in the game (it's the same militia as the Colorado mission...but it also includes Wazir Kale, Vanya Shah, Dawood Rangan, Rico Delgado, and Olivia Hall), so when Lucas enacted his plan (which he and 47 crafted back when they were both members of the program), the Knoxes were on his list. I believe that taking out Sierra was either a crime of opportunity (as 47 couldn't know that there was going to be sabotage already involved, but he can happen upon the opportunity) or realizing it'd be difficult to get to her during or after the race (during is obviously difficult, while afterwards, she's surrounded by people pretty regularly).
Making him kill his daughter gets you close to him in an isolated location, if you activate the bomb yourself Robert Knox keeps doing his cycle surrounded by bodyguards.
Destroying his transplant heart is even better, in my opinion! IIRC, depending on if you count leaving Lenny alive in Absolution, it's the only time in the series where you get credit for killing your target even though they're still alive! Diana telling you he's as good as dead anyway really drives it home.
I really wish there was a mission in club 47 like there was in the bank level where you send out the voice message to the public and see Jordan freak out and lock himself in his room
8:40 Arthur Edwards, you can actually inject him with the serum, making the line, "At least I die.. knowing who I am," a moot point. Such a cold ending, and the only instance I'm aware of where you do not have to kill your target literally.
Montgomery seems to be the only one of the ICA agents to acknowledge 47’s legendary skills, because for some reason the rest of the agents can be heard throughout the mission saying “he’s just one man” “the odds were stacked in our favor”. How the hell can you be an ICA agent and underestimate Agent 47?
"Now, if you'll just review the file, you'll see that last winter he killed nineteen Russian Spetsnaz operators and a general with nothing but a can opener, and the year before that he - Dammit, is Jackson sleeping through the briefing AGAIN? You know what, fine. Nobody wake him up. He doesn't need to know he's up against an unstoppable killing machine, it'd just bum him out."
There's another one -- I want to say the Mumbai level -- where another assassin has the same target, which you can help him get by OFFERING YOUR SERVICES AS AN ASSASSIN TO THE TARGET!!! 47: "I do my research. I take my time, exploiting opportunities as they present themselves. I get in close... And if there's another assassin after the same target, I get my target to hold still so they can do it for me." Target: "I... Wait, what?" (headshotted)
Actually, the Hit on Jordan Cross wasn't ordered by Highmore's parents, but by Lucas Grey (in 2016 only known as "The Shadow Client"). The hits in Paris, Sapienza and Bangkok are all ordered by him through third parties. Which is why 47 goes to Colorado and the militia (which was Grey's)
Not exactly. Grey just manipulated those third parties; they placed those kill orders themselves, not aware of Grey's manipulations. Cross killing Highmoore was just the perfect way for Grey to plant the idea of hiring an assassin to kill him. Same with the first 3 missions.
@@MSte21 Indeed. While Gray was the shadow client, all he did was give people with the means to hire an assassin against the people he wanted dead the reason and motivation to do so. In Paris it was an intelligence agency that was about to be compromised by the targets' side gig, in Sapienza it was investors who were disgusted by Ether's bioweapon development, in Morroco it was a construction company that was set to lose billions if the military coup went through, and in Bangkok it was the family of the woman Jordan Cross killed
I guess Janus didn't make the 7 cut - when you're disguised as his nurse he begins to recognize you as the child he "raised" just before you off him. Good shout on the Miami level though, I think I offed Robert immediately after he detonated the bomb so I never got that dialogue.
Number 6 is just gut wrenching to me. Really drives home that Agent 47's targets aren't just 2 dimensional bad guys commiting crimes. They are complex people with their good and bad qualities. First time I saw this death on the channel I genuinely felt horrible for the dad. Imagine being the reason why your pride and joy died.
To add to not-2-dimensional bit, Robert Knox is hyper-critical of his daughter and has given her a massive inferiority complex as a result, things you find out if you eavesdrop on conversations. They don't have a great relationship. But that just adds to the sickening horror of the moment.
@@MinorZero agreed- he's fine with killing someone *else's* daughter or son after all. He's only upset that it was his. Cruel irony, but no one forced him to try to kill anyone at all. Can't feel that bad for a murderer who just got the wrong person.
I like the aspect of it where you're listening in on the radio of the ICA agents who already know what 47's game is. like they know that the accidents aren't really accidents but they're not sure how and get freaked out about it
I've absolutely DEVOURED the WoA trilogy, and this showed me some kills even I was unaware of! Thanks for the new things to try in Berlin and Mendoza in particular!
Berlin gives you a challenge for doing that meeting, both as the club owner and as a biker (which needs more prep to get the disguise into the office first). Have fun!
8:26 well, that's one interpretation. Another is that she knows you're there to kill her, but she has accepted it because she's soon going to die anyway and you've already done her the favor of wrapping up most of her unresolved business.
Man, I love the Berlin level. I had a ton of issues with the reveal mission until I started throwing melee items at Montgomery versus trying to shoot him first.
“Most of the time Agent 47 likes to eliminate his targets in as discreet a manner as possible.” *cut to him demolishing a building with a locomotive Yeah that does take alot of *training ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don't see Alexa as not realising you're there for her, I think it's just that 47 is so legendary that she realises nothing can be done to stop you taking her out at that point so she doesn't even try
"it's five against one" "Yes, see your mistake?' I loved that moment. Especially chills you get.. and get surprise, one that didn't last long. It's like watching predator lazily play with his food. Soo slow, non conspicuous.. and even honest with his intentions. Hehe.
6:23 some legend did this kill by timing multiple bombs to off at the same time to kill all the guards on the map and the room before Doming Montgomery.
There's actually a really cool one from Hitman (2016) that never got brought onto the later versions of the game, from the Sarajevo Six campaign. The target in the Hokkaido map recognises you and has a long monologue about his actions and being killed by 47. I don't want to spoil what he says, but it's pretty cool if anyone wants to see it.
My name is Jordan and my girlfriend is Hanna and boy did that Jordan Cross level make us start giving each other some sidewards glances as we were playing through the hitman trilogy together
The most mind-blowing part of this to me is the fact that all of these situations were fully thought out and implemented by the developers, complete with voice acting.
Arthur Edwards: "At least I die knowing who I am." Game: *Take the syringe* Andy: "Huh-huh, red can go clongk." You had me. You had me gut laughing hard.
Contract additions that I hope for: Force complications such as tools being one use if you only used every tool once. being unable to hide bodies. Being forced to hide bodies. A person being unable to die. Pacifying a specific person. Picking up a specific item.
Oh, BTW, in the Playstation exclusive campaign The Sarajevo Six, the last mission in Hokkaido also involves confronting his target, which gives a completely different twist. If you're playing on PC, there's already a mod that will allow you to play this campaign intact and with the Hitman 3 features.
I need to try the Mendoza one. The Jordan Cross kill is one of my favorite methods for that level. That said, I'll be honest in that I usually just shoot him while his back is still turned toward 47 so he doesn't even know what's going on. I guess I need to let the guy see me next time I try it. I also need to try the one for Berlin as it gets a bit aggravating waiting for each one to reveal himself just by sneaking around with the stealth kills.
In case you don't know: If you pick a different starting point than the default one in Berlin, all ten (the first guy in the woods doesn't exist with them) targets are instantly revealed
If you want to go to the trouble, one great way of dealing with all 5 agents in that meeting at once is to plant a few gas canisters around the room, along with remote electrocution device and just detonate them while 47 takes cover behind that table. Takes out 3-4 of the agents at the back, and if you're lucky/great with placement, all 5 of them in one go.
You should. Buy the newest one then if you like it you can pay to upgrade digitally to unlock all the content from the first two games in the third games engine. Story won't make much sense but that doesn't really matter. The three most recent hitman games collectively make the world of assassination trilogy. Each game has 5 or 6 hugely replayable sandbox levels with tons of different things to do on each one.
Try starting things with the otherwise rough Codename 47... or watch it on YT if you're a console gamer, since the game is a PC exclusive. If that is in mind, start off with the slightly improved 2: Silent Assassin, continue on to Contracts (a semi-remake of Codename 47), Blood Money, and, hesitatingly, Absolution. After that, the World of Assassination trilogy awaits.
@@nerdgasam6838 Don't do this. You'll be able to buy all three as one game here soon, IoI is planning to just give Hitman 3 owners the levels and rename the game to World of Assassination. Also, they're not the first three games in the series as your message implies. They're the newest of a franchise that started decades ago and I'd personally tell folks to skip cutscenes if they wanna jump straight in rather than saying they'll be confused but the story doesn't matter, that's really a massive disservice to the writers tying all the plot threads together the way they have.
Also in the first Blood Money mission, when you confront the Swing King, the contract asks you to show him a photo before killing him, he also begs 47 to not kill him but 47 is like "Please look at this photo" and kills him.
A much more interesting way to take out Alexa, after gathering all the evidence, accuse Zachary before asking for the file. She will accept her fate, walk to the balcony before jumping off.
Wow 4/7 of these are from Hitman 3. And you didn’t even mention Dubai, where he confronts BOTH targets! (With Grey) I wonder why they chose to have him confront so often in that game
Probably because they just wanted that to be a straight up option more often in this series, though that's just a guess to be honest. It can be fun to do, and the interactions add more depth to the characters and tend to have 47 saying something either funny or stone-cold badass. 3's the one game where he's also working against Providence the entire time too, which gives him more personal reasons to want to confront these folks as well.
Its a tie for me between Cross and Soders, Cross because of the sheer audacity that then turns into that familiar scenario of being caught with your pants down and having nowhere to hide or run while Soders is pure death inducing fear without even needing to lay a finger on him. Both are right up there for me because I feel these two alone are the best examples of just how effective Agent 47 is at basically sowing dread into his targets when he doesn't hide. I will say though the line he delivers in response to that Lady despite her knowing who he is deserves an honorary mention, not even one bit of intimidation.
On the topic of Montgomery, if you plan out every single detail down to the second, you can kill every single agent at the same time. Well played 47 indeed.
I know you're only covering from the Hitman trilogy, but might I recommend Maynard John from Blood Money's A Dance with the Devil? He's an assassin who was intentionally waiting at the club for 47, but rather than try and kill you outright, he will personally offer you a fair fight in the form of a one-on-one duel in a soundproof room.
This does make me wonder. Are there any targets that, upon seeing Agent 47 in front of them...actually decide to accept what's about to happen with dignity?
![BOWKYLION - วิงวอน (ex-change) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cLdnZWDaO-w/mqdefault.jpg)
"It's five against one"
"Yes. See your mistake?"
Cold AF line even by 47's standards
he felt pity for them.
Wasn't it, though? That hit was so blatant, I had to stop the video, blink a few times, and go, "Daaaammmn".
It helps that 47 can be shot multiple times and keep going. I wonder if there'd be a place for game play where 47 takes the same kind of damages he deals...it would probably make stealth the only option, which might not always be everyone's cup of coffee. Same goes for Sam Fischer. Great games.

"Consider yourself lucky. At least I wasn't dressed as a clown."
I have a feeling that Mike would take that as a challenge
I have a suggestion for the next Christmas Challenge.
I mean, I've managed to do that strategy in Silent Assassin, Suit Only, so it's definitely possible. I just wasn't using the clown suit.
Or RT for that matter. The clown costume is practically his Hitman persona.
Cross is one of my favorite targets overall. It’s especially funny that he’s the only guy on the list who properly understands the danger he’s in.
To be fair, he's the only one who has a gun actively being pointed at him

8:40 Arthur Edwards, you can actually inject him with the serum, making the line, "At least I die.. knowing who I am," a moot point.
Such a cold ending, and the only instance I'm aware of where you do not have to kill your target literally.
The Hitman content is really the highlight of this channel
Their "3 Ways To Play" videos is what got me to get Hitman (2016) in the first place!
@@Insaneian Me too!
@@theRealJimothy and me
@@Insaneian same. I rewatch those videos all the time. They’re so good.
Hell, the Hitman content is why I became a fan, especially three ways to play on Hitman 2
Montgomery seems to be the only one of the ICA agents to acknowledge 47’s legendary skills, because for some reason the rest of the agents can be heard throughout the mission saying “he’s just one man” “the odds were stacked in our favor”. How the hell can you be an ICA agent and underestimate Agent 47?
To protect everyone from insiders?
"Now, if you'll just review the file, you'll see that last winter he killed nineteen Russian Spetsnaz operators and a general with nothing but a can opener, and the year before that he - Dammit, is Jackson sleeping through the briefing AGAIN? You know what, fine. Nobody wake him up. He doesn't need to know he's up against an unstoppable killing machine, it'd just bum him out."
5:01 I like the little jump Jordan makes after being shot 😂
Ragdoll physics, ACTIVATE!

Vidal: *saying something meaningful about how she knows who 47 is.*
Loud as fuck music: "WHAT WAS THAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOUUUUU!!!!!!"
There's another one -- I want to say the Mumbai level -- where another assassin has the same target, which you can help him get by OFFERING YOUR SERVICES AS AN ASSASSIN TO THE TARGET!!!
47: "I do my research. I take my time, exploiting opportunities as they present themselves. I get in close... And if there's another assassin after the same target, I get my target to hold still so they can do it for me."
Target: "I... Wait, what?" (headshotted)
Actually, the Hit on Jordan Cross wasn't ordered by Highmore's parents, but by Lucas Grey (in 2016 only known as "The Shadow Client"). The hits in Paris, Sapienza and Bangkok are all ordered by him through third parties. Which is why 47 goes to Colorado and the militia (which was Grey's)
Just realized I did an "Um actually," and I just didn't read your post correctly. Fml.
Yeah, it was just thought to see the parents by Diana. It's later that Diana connects it was all to draw out his father.
Not exactly. Grey just manipulated those third parties; they placed those kill orders themselves, not aware of Grey's manipulations. Cross killing Highmoore was just the perfect way for Grey to plant the idea of hiring an assassin to kill him. Same with the first 3 missions.
@@MSte21 Indeed. While Gray was the shadow client, all he did was give people with the means to hire an assassin against the people he wanted dead the reason and motivation to do so.
In Paris it was an intelligence agency that was about to be compromised by the targets' side gig, in Sapienza it was investors who were disgusted by Ether's bioweapon development, in Morroco it was a construction company that was set to lose billions if the military coup went through, and in Bangkok it was the family of the woman Jordan Cross killed
I guess Janus didn't make the 7 cut - when you're disguised as his nurse he begins to recognize you as the child he "raised" just before you off him. Good shout on the Miami level though, I think I offed Robert immediately after he detonated the bomb so I never got that dialogue.
Number 6 is just gut wrenching to me. Really drives home that Agent 47's targets aren't just 2 dimensional bad guys commiting crimes. They are complex people with their good and bad qualities.
First time I saw this death on the channel I genuinely felt horrible for the dad. Imagine being the reason why your pride and joy died.
Even worse, you can push him over the rail and onto her car, killing them both.
You can also kill the Knoxes via yeeting the dad onto the racetrack as Sierra comes through. Not sure which one's worse...
To add to not-2-dimensional bit, Robert Knox is hyper-critical of his daughter and has given her a massive inferiority complex as a result, things you find out if you eavesdrop on conversations. They don't have a great relationship. But that just adds to the sickening horror of the moment.
Not really, he is the one that ordered the bomb just in a different car, so he is in the same murder game.
@@MinorZero agreed- he's fine with killing someone *else's* daughter or son after all. He's only upset that it was his. Cruel irony, but no one forced him to try to kill anyone at all. Can't feel that bad for a murderer who just got the wrong person.
This is by far my favorite method. Let them know you're here to kill them and why. Make it personal. Let them know why they died.
Blood Money tutorial mission: "Look at the photo, Mr. Clarence."
agent montgomery is a really good one, they know you're not the guy you're pretending to be, but he plays along
I like the aspect of it where you're listening in on the radio of the ICA agents who already know what 47's game is. like they know that the accidents aren't really accidents but they're not sure how and get freaked out about it
I've absolutely DEVOURED the WoA trilogy, and this showed me some kills even I was unaware of! Thanks for the new things to try in Berlin and Mendoza in particular!
Berlin gives you a challenge for doing that meeting, both as the club owner and as a biker (which needs more prep to get the disguise into the office first). Have fun!
8:26 well, that's one interpretation. Another is that she knows you're there to kill her, but she has accepted it because she's soon going to die anyway and you've already done her the favor of wrapping up most of her unresolved business.
Yeah. If you accuse Zachary she even just kills herself since she knows 47 will do it anyways.
There should be a challenge to kill Emma after completing the investigation. I can't be the only one who wanted to do that afterwards, right?
@@IkeFanBoy64 Palpatine: DEW EET!!! KILL HER!!!
Man, I love the Berlin level. I had a ton of issues with the reveal mission until I started throwing melee items at Montgomery versus trying to shoot him first.
The DJ bass drop assassination might be the best kill in the entire trilogy lmao
It’s the "Ich liebe Techno" shirt for me lmao
@@ZHL242Along with the train in Mumbai, vey epic.
2:57 The mistake 47 was alluding to was his magazine has more than 6 bullets.
“Most of the time Agent 47 likes to eliminate his targets in as discreet a manner as possible.”
*cut to him demolishing a building with a locomotive
Yeah that does take alot of *training ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You should do a list of the challenges or "offings" that took just a little too much preparation to get.
Every run of mine where I botch preparation and throw a screwdriver at them instead.
6:40: Those agents have the slowest reaction times I have ever seen from professional assassins. They didn't even turn to face the right way.
Killing Cross in the flamingo outfit is genuinely one of the funniest things to do in these games.
You can also use the memory-erasing serum on the Constant himself, for that extra dose (heh) of karma.
Constant: "I'll die knowing who I am..."
47: *Silence for a few moments, before calmly picking up the syringe* "No, you won't..."
its wild that its the only elimination in which you dont actually kill the target...physically anyways
I don't see Alexa as not realising you're there for her, I think it's just that 47 is so legendary that she realises nothing can be done to stop you taking her out at that point so she doesn't even try
"it's five against one"
"Yes, see your mistake?'
I loved that moment. Especially chills you get.. and get surprise, one that didn't last long. It's like watching predator lazily play with his food. Soo slow, non conspicuous.. and even honest with his intentions. Hehe.
I love the lines "So you're the guy nobody likes!"
"They so rarely get a chance to know me".
Dude is cold
“You’re a legend.”
“Legends die. I’m still alive.”
Such an epic line.
He took it from the movie Hitman: Agent 47 which is a terrible movie by the way 😅
6:23 some legend did this kill by timing multiple bombs to off at the same time to kill all the guards on the map and the room before Doming Montgomery.
I started playing hitman after watching your videos it's a great game thanks for the recommendation
There's actually a really cool one from Hitman (2016) that never got brought onto the later versions of the game, from the Sarajevo Six campaign.
The target in the Hokkaido map recognises you and has a long monologue about his actions and being killed by 47. I don't want to spoil what he says, but it's pretty cool if anyone wants to see it.
Wait, if it never got brought onto later versions, how can we see it?
My name is Jordan and my girlfriend is Hanna and boy did that Jordan Cross level make us start giving each other some sidewards glances as we were playing through the hitman trilogy together
The most mind-blowing part of this to me is the fact that all of these situations were fully thought out and implemented by the developers, complete with voice acting.
“Hey! Consider yourself lucky. At least I wasn’t dressed up as a clown.”
Love it 😂
"It's five-against-one."
"Yes. See your mistake?"
Best line ever.
Vidal’s only mistake was not anticipating how dangerous the highly effective Mike approach can be
Arthur Edwards: "At least I die knowing who I am."
Game: *Take the syringe*
Andy: "Huh-huh, red can go clongk."
You had me. You had me gut laughing hard.
I love how at 10:26, what you say matches perfectly with the level intro's subtitles
Long live Hitman content on OXbox! I'll never get sick of hearing about it
"In Hitman's 'Apex Predator' level, all Hell has broken loose" I see what you did there.
"Consider yourself lucky, at least i didnt dress as a clown"
That one got me rolling of my chair
Y’all are the reason I really got into Hitman
The soders kill is even better in the Santa suit or the clown suit
Contract additions that I hope for:
Force complications such as tools being one use if you only used every tool once.
being unable to hide bodies.
Being forced to hide bodies.
A person being unable to die.
Pacifying a specific person.
Picking up a specific item.
Oh, BTW, in the Playstation exclusive campaign The Sarajevo Six, the last mission in Hokkaido also involves confronting his target, which gives a completely different twist. If you're playing on PC, there's already a mod that will allow you to play this campaign intact and with the Hitman 3 features.
I need to try the Mendoza one. The Jordan Cross kill is one of my favorite methods for that level. That said, I'll be honest in that I usually just shoot him while his back is still turned toward 47 so he doesn't even know what's going on. I guess I need to let the guy see me next time I try it. I also need to try the one for Berlin as it gets a bit aggravating waiting for each one to reveal himself just by sneaking around with the stealth kills.
In case you don't know: If you pick a different starting point than the default one in Berlin, all ten (the first guy in the woods doesn't exist with them) targets are instantly revealed
@@HeinerGunnar Yeah, I know, but thanks for telling me anyway. I don't play the Berlin level too often compared to some of the others.
If you want to go to the trouble, one great way of dealing with all 5 agents in that meeting at once is to plant a few gas canisters around the room, along with remote electrocution device and just detonate them while 47 takes cover behind that table. Takes out 3-4 of the agents at the back, and if you're lucky/great with placement, all 5 of them in one go.
@@MSte21 Sweet. That might be worth a try. I usually don't bother with the flashy stuff because I invariably screw it up somehow.
@@SolaScientia that's the beauty of it. Screwing up 20 times for one cool run
9:42 there is a alternative ending where you hit them with the serum and they will never know who they are
Worse then death, I feel.
I’ve never played a Hitman game, but this really makes me want to.
You should. Buy the newest one then if you like it you can pay to upgrade digitally to unlock all the content from the first two games in the third games engine. Story won't make much sense but that doesn't really matter. The three most recent hitman games collectively make the world of assassination trilogy. Each game has 5 or 6 hugely replayable sandbox levels with tons of different things to do on each one.
Try starting things with the otherwise rough Codename 47... or watch it on YT if you're a console gamer, since the game is a PC exclusive. If that is in mind, start off with the slightly improved 2: Silent Assassin, continue on to Contracts (a semi-remake of Codename 47), Blood Money, and, hesitatingly, Absolution.
After that, the World of Assassination trilogy awaits.
@@nerdgasam6838 Don't do this. You'll be able to buy all three as one game here soon, IoI is planning to just give Hitman 3 owners the levels and rename the game to World of Assassination. Also, they're not the first three games in the series as your message implies. They're the newest of a franchise that started decades ago and I'd personally tell folks to skip cutscenes if they wanna jump straight in rather than saying they'll be confused but the story doesn't matter, that's really a massive disservice to the writers tying all the plot threads together the way they have.
If you still haven't got one, get the newest one. It comes with both hitman 1 and 2 now.
Another thing with Alexa is that you can frame the murder so that she believes he really did commit suicide and she does herself.
"It's five against one,"
"Yes, see your mistake?"
Holy shit 47 is a damn deman, but he's cold
You didn't mention it, but with Arthur Edward's, you can inject his serum into him, causing him to forget everything
Expect more videos like this text me on telegram above to claim 🎁🎉
Also in the first Blood Money mission, when you confront the Swing King, the contract asks you to show him a photo before killing him, he also begs 47 to not kill him but 47 is like "Please look at this photo" and kills him.
I always enjoyed the intro mission on Hitman Blood Money. Break into the swing kings office and ensure the photo is the last thing he ever sees
I know that Agent 47 is a professional and a man of his words but how could he prove that it was the LAST thing he saw ? 😅
9:19 funny thing. If you don't do anything for a few minutes you unlock a secret ending where Agent 47 actually does erase his memory
It’s also possible to use the same serum on Edwards, killing his personality but sparing his body to a fate worse than death.
@@joshuahunt3032 yeah but that use of it is obvious. While taking it yourself isn't
0:50 “oh suits you sir” is a quote from an old British comedy sketch show called “The Fast Show” where Johnny Depp cameos in a tailor skit.
OXbox + Agent 47.
Name a more iconic duo.
Gin and tonic!
@@michaelkores6860 Fair
Batman and Robin.
Luz and Amity, I guess.
Also, Gearbox and Randy Pitchford.
Mike and the clown suit.
Trade offer:
I give you Amnesia.
You give me a fire extinguisher to he head 8 times.
A much more interesting way to take out Alexa, after gathering all the evidence, accuse Zachary before asking for the file. She will accept her fate, walk to the balcony before jumping off.
Wow 4/7 of these are from Hitman 3. And you didn’t even mention Dubai, where he confronts BOTH targets! (With Grey) I wonder why they chose to have him confront so often in that game
Probably because they just wanted that to be a straight up option more often in this series, though that's just a guess to be honest. It can be fun to do, and the interactions add more depth to the characters and tend to have 47 saying something either funny or stone-cold badass. 3's the one game where he's also working against Providence the entire time too, which gives him more personal reasons to want to confront these folks as well.
Every day in which Outside Xbox makes a video about Hitman is a good day.
Well these are the Times when 47 goes full Serious James Bond more than anything else and I'm HERE FOR IT
Nice video ^^
already liking it while not even halfway through!
Its a tie for me between Cross and Soders, Cross because of the sheer audacity that then turns into that familiar scenario of being caught with your pants down and having nowhere to hide or run while Soders is pure death inducing fear without even needing to lay a finger on him. Both are right up there for me because I feel these two alone are the best examples of just how effective Agent 47 is at basically sowing dread into his targets when he doesn't hide. I will say though the line he delivers in response to that Lady despite her knowing who he is deserves an honorary mention, not even one bit of intimidation.
The fire extinguisher bit got a good chuckle out of me, very funny
The Berlin level is just such a joy. So many ways that whole confrontation in the office can go down.
I literally just started a new playthrough in all 3 hitman games last night....got some I haven't done that you just showed me thanks!
Vidal: its 5 against 1
47: Yes, i have 7 shots in my 1911
Vidal: fuck
On the topic of Montgomery, if you plan out every single detail down to the second, you can kill every single agent at the same time.
Well played 47 indeed.
I know you're only covering from the Hitman trilogy, but might I recommend Maynard John from Blood Money's A Dance with the Devil? He's an assassin who was intentionally waiting at the club for 47, but rather than try and kill you outright, he will personally offer you a fair fight in the form of a one-on-one duel in a soundproof room.
It's a pretty fun duel, I have to say. Maynard John is an interesting assassin who follows his description
i like the one from the berlin level the most, made it so much easier the first time i was playing it to find a lot of the targets at once
I love all the outsidexbox stuff but the Hitman videos are the best.
This does make me wonder. Are there any targets that, upon seeing Agent 47 in front of them...actually decide to accept what's about to happen with dignity?
the old guy in dubai tells you to just get it over with
Carl Ingram in Dubai
God, the entire Berlin confrontation is awesome, definitely one of the better hitman levels IMO
I like giving Edward's the serum. Make him forget everything that happens
"At least he wasn't dressed as a clown."
No, that's Mike's signature move. LOL
With the Miami one, I like the fact that if you time it right, you can push Robert to land on Sierra's car mid race - killing them both!
in the train mission you can actually eject yourself with the serum Edward offered you if you wait a couple of minutes listening to him
Okay I've been getting more into Hitman recently. I NEED to play this game.
Favorite line of this episode"at least I wasn't dressed as a clown"
I want a hitman game where we follow a different agent beside 47. Where we explore the effect killing targets takes on a hitman.
