A clear up for some how of the glitches work mechanically: The "Pistol lockpick" glitch (sometimes called the "Mudshot" after the person who found it): Doors have a strange healthbar. Basically, u need to do a lot of damage to them in a short time. Imagine if they had really fast regenerating health. Pistols don't fire fast enough to do enough damage in the given time and that's why things like smgs work even tho they have less single shot damage. The glitch occurs because semi automatic cooldowns on pistols (And probably all weapons for that matter) recharge even when the game is paused. This means u can pause the game between shots to fire the pistol way faster. Its pretty noticible when u use the Striker. Example: Lets say u have a pistol with a 1 second cooldown between shots. Shoot then pause the game. While the game is paused the cooldown is still ticking down so you can wait the entire 1 second in the pause menu and then when you unpause the pistol cooldown will be back to 0 so you theoretically shoot with 0 cooldown in the actual real game time. The door hp regeneration doesn't happen when the game is paused, that's why you can open the door. If you wanna be more precise then take one shot at the lock, pause the game as fast as possible after it, wait however long the cooldown is and then unpause and shoot again. You can also just hold left and right click in the pause menu to buffer the shot for the frame u unpause the game. The panic shots: Basically when you shoot at an npc or 3 times near an npc it puts them in a hyper panicked state. This one is a little more complicated but as far as I know when you "hyper panic" npcs in this way the game creates an invisible "detection shpere" around the location u shot from. The affected npcs will hyperfocus on that location and if they spot you inside of the "detection sphere" they will immediately engage in combat or compromise you. But if you escape this sphere they will ignore you for the time that they are hyper panicked. Don't confuse this with lesser panic that happens when a bullet impact is noticed (Aka after 2 shots usually, but sometimes when you shoot close enough or the npc was already panicked before they might panic from one shot. Its easy to tell from the "bullet impact noticed" pop up. These npcs will usually gain a dot above their head and if u shoot one more time it will turn into an exclamation mark which means they are hyper panicked) This is why you might sometimes get shot at or spotted anyway while attempting the glitch because you didn't escape the "detection sphere". Particle boosting: This one is simple really... 47 just collides and can walk on particles and particles can be moved with explosives so sometimes you can launch them so fast they fly through roofs and such and you fly really high up or through walls. Fun fact for this one. Particles like that were removed in one update but IOI readded them specifically for speedrunning. Really nice of them :D
I nerd out over this game way too much lmao Oh yeah one less useful but silly replicatable glitch. When you press yourself up against sliding doors, such as the ones in Hokkaido or Romania, in a way that makes the doors not open when you press the interact key, if you keep spamming it 47 gets eventually possessed by satan. That's pretty fun and absolutely horrifying :D
sorry, can you give an example? it works on mostly every door ive ever tried it on, its all about where you shoot and what angle with the pistol. you are just buffering the game to shoot more than 1 shot each frame. atleast thats how i understand it.
@@kingstonHNS Sorry I was just confused haha, for some reason I thought there were some doors that could be opened with a pistol or more powerful guns, and others that could only be opened with more powerful things like a shotgun or sniper, but every door requires a heavy gun haha. Thanks for replying, still!
@@kingstonHNS some doors in paris can be opened without the spam pausing and shooting (AKA Mudshot). There's a certain angle you need. Flare_zz has a video showing it.
i see speedrunners using all kinds of different snipers. do they fall into the same few categories? (subsonic non-pierce eg. ghost; subsonic pierce eg. leviathan; silent knockback eg. sieger 300; everything else) or is there a more intricate system to this?
um, to be perfectly honest im not too sure. i know that the sieger 300 from mendoza's mastery can shoot people in the hand and shoulder without killing them but a foot shot insta kills. i would need to do more testing and or googling : )
Yeah, the regular Sieger 300 variants are all exchangeable and will allow non-lethal shots if you don't hit the head. The Sieger Ghost reskins are subsonic and will kill with a hit anywhere, and the Hackl Leviathan is the same as the ghost except it pierces bodies. No other snipers are used due to the long unpacking animation and lack of the fast unpack trick.
@@paulsilagi4783 i knew it was more in-depth! i only tested it with the sieger ghost and it one taps anywhere so i instantly assumed the sieger 300 was the only sniper capable of knocking people over. thanks for sharing your knowledge
@@kingstonHNS To slightly specify my original statement, the way to tell which variant of Sieger you're looking at are the perks. 3x zoom means it's a normal Sieger 300 (Sieger 300, Sieger 300 Advanced, Sieger 300 Tactical and Sieger 300 Viper), 4x zoom and subsonic are the Ghost variants (Sieger 300 Ghost, Sieger 300 Arctic, The Ornamental Sniper Rifle, The Concrete Sniper Rifle and the White Ruby Rude 300 Sniper Rifle). Each class has exactly the same stats according to the game files (except for Freelancer Cost and Rarity of course), the only difference being the Sieger 300 Advanced having one more starting magazine over the others in its class and the Sieger 300 Arctic having one less than the other Ghost variants. The Hackl Leviathan and the Ducky version are completely identical.

LOL you called it "the sus bar"
sus is short for suspicion sorry didnt mean to trigger your inner among us : D
What else would you call that?
I already know all of these, but this video explains them really well for people who are new to speedrunning. Great Video
nice video keep it up
Thanks bro. I am a new player and these kind of tips help me a lot.
Why did i find this amazing channel only now? Keep it up!
thanks bro I subscribed because of this
the first one was the best
Hey Kingston I really liked you video editing style and the gameplay I hope I get to see you grow to be a big channel !
❤❤
Cool video
didnt know i needed this, thanks
np if there are any other things you want to know hitman wise maybe i can do another vid
@@kingstonHNS what about actual speedrun strategies? for like the first hitman game yk
@@ppartpemart4362 sure i can do that any missions in particular?
@@kingstonHNS sapienza would be great to learn! i know there are tutorials already but it would be fun to see your take on it.
Thanks, I always see those tricks but never figured out how to do them, I'm not a speedrunner but it would be fun to use them sometimes
same thing for me man, i always wanted to do a hitman speedrun it looked so fun and technical at the same time. glad you enjoyed the vid
Bomb launch is used by all elite runners
Hey, does the lock trick work against any door? Like the ones who are supposed to be opened only by heavy guns?
sorry, can you give an example? it works on mostly every door ive ever tried it on, its all about where you shoot and what angle with the pistol. you are just buffering the game to shoot more than 1 shot each frame. atleast thats how i understand it.
shoot the lock
