Hello! This is a pinned comment! Any additions, corrections, or patch notifications related to this video will go here! This video goes live in a few minutes and I have only just realised I left in my fuckup at 03:00 The original explosive pen from Hitman 2 has been made unlockable once again, making it useful once more for contracts. The OOB glitch shown at 10:00 has been patched; it is no longer possible to take cover on that side of the stairs. The two body dumps I pointed out at 22:41 now function as they should, and do not permanently hide bodies anymore. The livestreams I mentioned have already happened. You can watch the VODs at kzfaq.info/sun/PLsTyXgx4UGDYTflXraX0ODRfgwO6fsYjk or follow me at twitch.tv/casimir0325 to see me continue my freelance adventures.

This makes me feel for the poor guards that never found their VIP. Left to wander like a lost dog that was abandoned by their owner.

Guide for freelancer hokkaido: Always save your keycard scramblers/key hackers for hokkaido. Don't use them on the doors however, use them on Agent Smith's morgue thing and he'll give you the RFID master chip to unlock any door on the map.

54 seconds in "Disconnected" really sums up the hitman exp sometimes

14:41 I love how the guard sounds annoyed and just walks away, like Yamazaki being found dead with a sword in their skull is an common occurrence and this is about the 100th time now.

Save House tips for early Freelancers: - there is a banana (free accidental knockout) in the kitchen upstairs. - there are rusty nails (1 time/1 slot lockpick) on the way to the helicopter - there is a stethoscope (counts as fiber wire) in the medical room. - there are many potentially helpful tools in the garage.

I love the hand to hand combat loop. I find it hilarious to just punch the guard in the face for minutes on end

19:26 Kokoro must live in eternal agony. Without a heart and a vacuum that he can't turn off.

i loved some of the perfectly cut moments in this video, and i'm not even sure if they were intentional but good god they got me laughing

So a walking stick is more illegal than a letter opener which is more illegal than a gun which is more illegal than two guns. *flawless legal logic*

the fact that he included both the songs of "The Class" in the video, being Gun Show and Are We Stars, impresses me, because most people don't know they exist. Edit: damn, two months later I’m seeing this comment. That’s the most likes I’ve ever gotten

Random fact: At 6:39, while "Kokoro" does mean "heart" in the metaphorical sense, the physical heart would be referred to as "Shinzou" (心臓).

I was under the impression that the reason body dumps like the ones seen at 22:20 work because although the body was not killed in an accident, the other NPC's think that it was as all they see is a body that has fallen out of a window/over a ledge etc. Making it a sort of "perceived accident kill" when in reality it was not. I believe this is also the case with body dumps over the edge of the main stairs leading down to the dancefloor in Berlin. EDIT: I forgot to mention that these appear to act differently due to NPC's not acknowledging the body at all

18:23 Another example for this is on the Ark Society. If you successfully pass Zoe Washington's initiation test she will lead you into a room where you can change into the Ark robes, the pink ones, and despite there being a ton of people in the room it's perfectly fine to change right there. Otherwise it would make a weird commotion. Not that it's very useful to go to those lengths just for that outfit, but still. Mah boi 47 doesn't even get a dressing room, he has to strip off and put those on in front of a crowd 😂

at 33:40 he talks about npc’s seeing you but not being able to reach you. I discovered an amazing example of this on colorado that is like nothing you have ever seen. All you have to do is bring a sniper, shoot a target or two with it in order to alert them, and crouch in the corner of the water tower. if the npc’s don’t see you, they will be alerted by your shots and almost EVERY GUARD will swarm the water tower. but, since they don’t know you are there, they will blindly shoot at you. if you hide in the corner, they can’t see you, or reach you, and 50 npc’s will stare at you until you make the mistake of standing up.

Speaking of dumping spots that make the body invisible, Sgail has another one. In the penthouse tower, where the council members reside, there's a balcony with a ledge that goes down to a mini-balcony on the floor below. Dumping a body from that ledge will count as hiding it.

19:08 Another thing besides the distractions in Hokkaido is the lights from the Vanya Shah's train where it contains camera evidence in Mumbai. You can keep turning it off to lure EVERYONE to that place until the map runs out of NPC

I felt attacked when you said I’ll be hiding in boxes during freelancer, you weren’t wrong but I felt it lol. In all honesty freelancer is like a whole different game, far more difficult than a full SA/SO run

Wow that briefcase frisk tactic is genius how have I never thought of it before Also, the thing about not everyone knowing when you're trespassing is an immense help in the Swedish consulate, it's pretty much only guards that know you're trespassing.

I had no idea about the noisy vacuum or ice machine! That should make freelancer Hokkaido interesting, perhaps easier. I totally agree about proximity explosives. It led to my only failure, and cost me 32k merces, and of course all my gear. Never again

Highly entertaining and informative video Casi, I did not know that trick about coins and doors. Very nice work!

i have a neat trick i never saw anybody use or mention. runbump an npc, place a coin/duck/distraction item so they see it. when they finish the runbump interruption they'll move to where you were when the coin was picked up. you can pick it up for short lures, they/someone else can pick it up for longer lures. real useful for pulling a specific person out of a crowd or getting people closer to accidents out of audio distraction range. great vid btw

Imagine being a vacuum cleaner or ice machine so loud that the human embodiment of a person's heart can hear it but be unable to respond to it.

Haha the guard in that container behind the Hokkaido Sauna door is genius, I remember completing silent assasin only to turn back and find that door locked behind me with no other way out ... the pain

Kills caused by explosions from canisters and extinguishers count as accidents and wont ruin your silent assassin if the body is found. You can easily achieve this with a breeching charge placed near a canister near a target for a chain explosion. This can be coupled with the briefcase "glitch" to kill some targets "accidentally" in very public areas

Panicking civilians by shooting the ground and by pulling the fire alarm were integral to how I did Silent Assassin Suit Only on Master Mode in Bangkok. 31:42 there are also some doors that are too strong to be shot open, like the one by the well that leads into the warehouse in Isle of Sgail. 35:54 47 can also sometimes continue reloading a gun while dying.

*35:12* "Jesus!" *T/Jesus-poses*

Little tip for opening doors when you only have a pistol on you and nothing else to shoot or unlock it with- if you shoot it and then quickly pause, unpause and shoot, pause again, repeat it 4 or so times in rapid succession and it'll act as if you used an automatic and break the door open. This is because by pausing between shots you're lessening the actual time between the bullets hitting the door, takes longer if you just shoot it normally

21:20 another thing on picking up illegal items, if you’re holding a large item in your right hand that can’t be stowed like a propane canister or car battery, all other small items go straight to your inventory rather than your hand.

Maybe mentioned somewhere by someone, but there are some disguises you can carry a sniper rifle without a problem like Pointman in Colorado. As for freelancer, in the showdown you can hear the sound effect when you pass the target in this mode, too.

There are some minor NPC behaviour changes in Freelancer for missions that have No Bodies Found as an objective. After a certain amount of time has passed a random NPC from across the map somewhere will walk to where there's a dead or unconscious NPC, and this happens in areas often where other NPCs don't ever come to by any normal means. So say for example you kill a target and there are nowhere proper to hide the body in a box or whatever nearby, but throw them in a bush, somewhere, a random NPC will walk to that location to discover the body.

26:25 reminds me of Hitman Bloodmoney Speedruns, where you can throw a knife at your target on stage, but because nobody sees 47 throw the knife it continues to count as silent assassin, because it triggers a scene where police storm the grounds anyways. Conversely, if you were to shoot the target with the provided Sniper on the level, you will be instantly spotted.

You can open doors with a pistol if you shoot the door and immediately go to the pause menu, and when you leave the pause when you shoot the door again if you do it fast enough it tricks the game to thinking that you're shooting a submachine gun.

wow! i really did learn a lot from this. thank you! also, i laughed when i first really tuned into the dialogue from a bodyguard searching for their VIP. they sound so concerned!!

36:33 you forgot that one song that goes with that slide show you can trigger to play in Sapienza to get that one target alone, if you pause, you can fully enjoy it forever.

Thank you so much for this! I've been playing for a while but I learned SO much in this video... My favorite HITMAN channel by a mile and you have a really calming voice :) Edit: typo

Soooo much interesting info! But fr: I've been obsessed with Hitman for a couple years now, and yet this vid still had like 100 new things I never heard about. Could watch like 10 others of these non stop

I have over 400+ hours of combined play time in all 3 hitman games and there is ton of stuff i didn't know you could do in this game

Am I the only one who roleplays and avoids using anything that wouldn't work in RL ?

Love your videos man, it’s nice to have you back

High quality, entertaining, and incredibly helpful, thank you!

Casimir (paraphrased): If you're making a Contract, turn off the music as the Mission Complete theme plays when you mark a Target and doesn't stop. Save yourself from listening to it on loop for 10+ minutes. Me (has loved that song since 2016): No, no I don't think I will.

One cool thing I learned from sliding doors as in Hokkaido or New York, doors that usually needs a key card, is that you can place things on the ground to block the doors from closing, very cool if combined with letting NPC's open the doors for you.

35:11 I've seen people pull the same thing off with some of the targets in Berlin if you manage to kill five targets at the same time. It's definitely an AI glitch where if an NPC doesn't know what to do they resort to T-posting.

7:05 Destroying the heart doesn’t kill Soders’ character on the table. It just satisfies the objective since he is doomed to die as a result. There is no objective to kill him on snow festival and his death is not programmed to the heart normally.

This is the perfect Hitman version of DarkviperAU

Casimir, have you found the way complete the Ave Maria challenge about finding tranquility? I'm pretty sure it's got to do with the yoga you can do near the lake, cause doing that makes the song play, but I'm not so sure about the entire method. Edit: this is about freelancer by the way, but I think this is pretty self explanatory.

27:26 is why I know IO are safe hands for a Bond game

That was probably the most comprehensive and fun Hitman video I have ever seen! New sub, amigo!

0:37 that cops did a backflip lol

Are you going to make a video on the silent assassin, hammer only challenge? That weekly challenge video you made was very entertaining!

Imagine you're an NPC guard, putting on your new uniform after you got promoted. And suddenly your like 4 colleagues in the room start pointing their guns at you-

21:51 Bro stopped time with this one 🗣️ "The World"

This is a great video for beginners and not less helpful for certain speedrunning techniques. Keep it up!

Awesome video! I loved learning every weird little trick, especially the coin to open locked doors. And thanks for acknowledging that stream times are really inconvenient for Aussies, haha!

35:12 bro just did the best Jesus impression I’ve ever seen

Interesting about the golden gun slide whistle thing, as the Bond film the Man with the Golden Gun famously had a bad-ass car barrel roll jump across a river, coupled with a completely unfitting slide whistle sound 😂

About the fact where guards wander after the vip is dead, this happened to me when playing landslide, I turned the dialogue up and his guard kept saying "Mr. Abiatti?" and if you kill Yuki Yamazaki with the cable car, every bodyguard will look in the direction of the cable car.

As someone that finds shitloads of joy in abusing interesting hitman glitches this video is great, had some suspicions confirmed and learnt some new interesting tactics!

Best part of the video definitely is the connection failed part...classic Hitman right there

that thing with holding a handgun to get away with carrying a bigger gun feels like the continuation of the detonator glitch from Blood Money, where so long as you're holding the detonator (or fibre wire or I think just any legal item, but those are the guaranteed two you'll always have) nobody notices you carrying a sniper rifle under the other arm

"Tactical turtleneck" I hope you paid Archer for mentioning his invention, the Tactleneck. While he didn't invent the item itself he did recognise its use as a tactical garment. Now I think about it, I'd love to see a playthrough of someone roleplaying as Archer in Hitman, just because of how opposite Agent 47's personality it is.

I found that the white shadow suit was hostile in Hokkaido the hard way

Such an amazing video! Thanks for making this content

What a crazy amount of incredible facts. Thank you.

Fun fact: you can hip fire sniper rifles in your safe house and trigger explosives with them.

There’s another area where you can dump bodies in Isle of Sgail. It the ledge with the barrier has broken on top of the tower Jebidiah (not sure how to spell that) Block stays

That poor guard walking round searching for his VIP like "Gavin! Gaaaavin!"

12:13 My favorite pass time in the Paris attic, honestly surprised the guards don't lose their nose!

That was AMAZING! I thought, i know the game very well, but nearly all of this was unknown to me. Thanks a lot!

Very detailed and very interesting tricks :3 !

haha great video. Assassins are always easy to recognize. Half the time they wear disguises in areas that would normally be trespassing for that outfit

Bullet distractions as a whole is just super complicated. The 2 or 3 shot rules are not necessarily related to gunshots, but gun actions. So the sound of the gun will count as one of these shots. Even an unloaded gun will count the exact same way. On top of all this, sometimes they just straight up don't work. Fun :)

this video is amazing, fantastic work

25:30 this is a great tip. I will find this very useful in freelancer when I can buy a large item in a case, carry a rifle on my back and equip a pistol when leaving.

This is exactly the type of shit I was looking for in this game, great video

The pistol shoot to trigger clivians going crazy will help me alot

18:12 are you sure this is up to date? Im pretty sure i recently i did that with the target looking at me with nothing happening. Loving the video so far :)

greatest 39 minutes of my life

I think "(Subjectively annoying classical music)" is the best subtitle I've ever seen. Thank you for that gem. 😂

Good to see you back

I see that you're growing, yesterday i saw your channel and it had 5k subs Nice work!

guy yelling "jesus" and then t-posing is just great

the editing and presentation style reminds me a lot of facts and glitches by darkviperau, i like it

On the topic of map loud distractions, I’m pretty sure Whittleton Creek’s fire hydrants are map loud and can distract anyone.

19:45 They always seem to see me in lockers or containers in freelancer. I stopped even bothering with that.

Fun fact the white highlight also helps you find lookouts they would be the civilians that have the enforcer dot over there head meaning they will always spot you

One note on the Colorado stage. The point man disguise is the only one I'm aware off where walking around with a sniper rifle is not an illegal act.

Thanks for the helpful video mate!!! Will definitely be using the placing item in front of a door trick lol also I once got done in a big mission by forgetting what the word PROXIMITY means. Went to pick up a proximity mine left at the entrance in Miami to get through a frisk, went to pick it up before i escaped, BOOOOOM lost all my money in freelancer lmao

Nice video! Very useful info!

lol the prisoner asserting his dominance

12:14 LMAO definitely gonna show this to my friends, once I make friends.

There’s another in bounds ledge that triggers the body hidden event and it’s in Dubai. It’s the railing near the staff meeting is and near the waiter who walks in and out

I have no knowledge of Hitman and I have never played the games, but I really enjoyed this amazing video it was really fun and well presented.

I love how in the iron maiden clip Diana sounds like a disapproving parent.

I was thinking of facts like you can make your own sedative poison if you have a fish and a knife in your safehouse, to bring in a mission.

What is the song used in the walking to kokoro and vector sniper scenes? Edit: and seemingly every other timelapse lol, I like this song

I hope you make more videos, this one was really entertaining

Wow, I thought I was the only one who knew you could drop Edwards into the ocean and still escape, effectively killing him and still getting away with it.

Just started playing freelancer and i was average at best with the whole stealth SA thing. Great video
