I wish they'd followed the Hitman 2 DLC model, New York was so dope, I'd love to have seen more small and focused maps like that, it's a good contrast to the big maps in the main game

Patient Zero in Hokkaido is on the Great tear for me, it felt like the final boss of the game and each time I'd get quicker and quicker to kill the target before the virus even spreads. The "zombie mode" is a punishment for being too slow, encouraging risk. Hokkaido overall is my favorite map of the trilogy

My only complaints about Freelancer is it never uses map variants, and sometimes the bonus objectives can be mutually exclusive.

I personally really enjoyed the Vector. And I wish that Pation Zero was more like game modes instead of small campaign. I would love to be able to have Sniper mode and "Zombie" mode even for other maps outside of Colorado and Hokaido. Also I would personally put Lust to decent, because I didn't found it that hard(and I am still really bad at the game) and also that suit is my favourite in game. Otherwise I mostly agree with you.

The sniper in pride is actually pretty good, because it has bullets that have basically no air time and hits what you’re aiming at almost instantly. This can make stuff like sniping Sierra Knox’s car super easy

Great video, but i would put the vector as a good map as i’ve had no issue with targets escaping randomly. For me it seems they only flee when your bullet impact is noticed, and in my personal opinion the hints for targets aren’t too slow. It also feels more immersive as you are completing the patient zero campaign

IMO, 7DS Sloth gets more grief than it deserves. You don't necessarily need to be fast as you need to be efficient. Which means you could also be slow just as long as you have an optimal path. If you try to play it fast then obviously you're not going to have a good time. And once you understand that it begins to make sense. I'd rank it as my favorite 7DS escalations. Oh! There was also that Berlin escalation where you got the straight jacket and belt garrote... and tranq gun. And that 3 pigs one... 🤔

I really didn’t enjoy Wrath but, in it’s defence the assault rifle wasn’t a reskin because it actually has a bigger bullet capacity than the rest making it the perfect gun for a kill everyone. Beyond that I agree with a lot of them good job

"color blind or color stupid" that line had me dying at 16:10

Hokkaido Snow Festival is so bad that bro forgot to include it 💀

10:00 I think the reason why the special assignments seem to have less effort put into them is because they actually are unused elusive targets, which don’t often have a lot of effort put into them (in my opinion) (source: Hitman wiki/fandom)

Here is my list: Great: Freelancer, Patient Zero, New York, Haven Island. Good: Dartmoor Garden Show, The source, The Icon, Landslide, Illusion Of Grandeur. Decent: Siberia, Austria, Hantu Port, Berlin Egg Hunt, Holiday Hoarders, The vector, Ambrose Island, Deluxe Escalations, House Built On Sand, A bitter Pill, A silver Tongue, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Greed. Bad: The Author, Envy, Embrace Of The Serpant. Garbage: Wrath, Sloth.

The Summer Sightseeing Suit is imo without question the best suit in the game

For me, Hitman 3 really started with Freelancer, which, despite its problems, is a great addition. Previously, I had the feeling that I was playing Hitman 2.5

New York is definitely my favorite It plus Miami are my two favorite maps in the trilogy

I so wish they had made a night time or christmas/halloween version of Whittleton Creek, it's such a good map! Only part i disagree is the part where you talk about Temper Suit, it's one of my favorite suits. But everyone has their own opinion and i respect that

I liked ambrose island a lot. I still haven't completed a showdown mission in freelancer 💀

I do like the Wrath items just because I love bears. Haha. I miss how over the years we stopped getting extra missions like in H2016. Reusing maps for something neat.

Thanks for the video, I absolutely agree. It is a pity that the "Six from Sarajevo" has sunk into the summer. P.S. There are no achievements for DLC.

For starters, I really enjoy Patient Zero on pretty much anything except SA/SO, because it's brutally hard there even without Master difficulty being a thing. The virus gimmick adds a lot of thrill, whether you try to prevent any infections or go killing all infected while trying to avoid a panic. I actually made a run where I managed to infect EVERYONE in the level and then get away with a Kill Everyone SA rating which was hilarious (if anyone's curious you can just take the hazmat guys' disguises off and they become vulnerable, and I intentionally infected 47 to run around infecting people for a bit before taking the vaccine). Also I'll comment on the Deluxe Escalations (not the 7DS, I'll buy them someday mainly for unlocks and completion but no rush) since I bought them just this week and played through them, mainly for unlocks. Dubai was fine and honestly was a pretty solid example of how to make Escalations, Dartmoor was mostly annoying on Level 3 because I hate when you're forced to use loud guns, Berlin started off rough but got better as it went, I liked how each part was a different section. Chongqing... can go fuck itself, getting SA there felt like a matter of luck and the 5 minute timer was stressful as fuck and forced you to speedrun it. Mendoza had a fun gimmick though, and mixed the targets each time. Carpathian Mountains though, it was actually pretty dang fun while being easy, probably one of the very few Escalations I'd replay just for fun. After the pain that was the main mission SA/SO it felt downright cathartic to blaze through with the katana. As a whole they all kind of pushed Suit Only though, which I'm not huge on. Still, I like a bunch of the unlocks and I bought it entirely with Microsoft points so no regrets lol. The biggest appeal of Hitman to be is the overall freedom of playstyle. You aren't obligated to try and aim for SA rating, and sometimes going guns blazing can be both challenging and fun. I'm personally not a fan of SA/SO as a whole since I prefer the stealth be done by hiding in plain sight, blending in and aiming for a cinematic approach and usually only do it for the sake of challenge completion. Having a wild variety of gameplay options is really what sells Hitman for me.

Great video. Pretty much agree with most of those ratings. Only one I’d change is envy for Lust. At least Envy was a lot more open and can have some different ways to kill. I really hated Lust thought it was very limited and boring.

It' s funny that most cool DLC´s were the free ones, and I mostly agree with you n the list, although I'd put Marrakesh at night at great, that's one of my personal favorites along with Landslide, The Icon and The Author. I dind't buy the 7 Sins cuz I saw what they were and all of them were atrocious in general. Maybe the Garden was one of the best recent DLC's that made Dartmoor look different and with a fresh style so that's also quite hight. And Freelancer I'd consider it simply another game by itself. I love it.

Recently revisited the game. Only now I got to play all the new escalations and in my opinion, the "Wrath" escalation was good. I only played the first level, because all I wanted were unlocks, but the suit is good. Turn on "Bad To The Bone", take a shotgun and put this suit on and go play some map like Colorado. Very Terminator-esque vibes.

Good tier list but I definitely disagree with the patient zero. It's very unique and fun to mess around. Sloth wasn't the worst experience. It isn't nearly as fun as patient zero but it is unique as well.

I definitely agree with this list. The only mission I'd disagree with is Patient Zero. I think it's a fairly good mission that is fun if you're playing it while allowing disguise changes. Plus the stress of taking out infected targets is a unique spin in my opinion that makes getting silent assassin a unique challenge. Although Patient Zero can be frustrating if you're doing it silent assassin suit only, that I will admit. But man.... was I ever so disappointed when I bought the Seven Deadly Sins DLC. Outside of a few great items and a bit of a decent challenge here and there, it was garbage. But I can say IOI made up for it with the free releases of Ambrose Island and Freelancer. Granted, they had to force paid DLC into Freelancer but it's easy to avoid getting when you know it gives you jacksh*t.

great video, but it seems like you forgot a few maybe? i’m curious as to how you would rank Hokkaido Snow Festival or the Mills Revere

I think that the Sloth escalation is very well described by the voice: "A waste of time, if you ask me"

I think the Author is great. From the atmosphere, to the main mechanic being shooting the bell to ring it, to assemble your targets, it is both fun to speed run and feel like you invented new ways to beat it quickly. It doesn't have as many cutscene kills as the Author, but I love the atmosphere and background of the targets. Plus the ghost suit is hilarious.

Great video man! I am a huge fan of Hitman and you are one of the only two youtubers that I follow daily! (Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language) Greetings from Italy!

The pilots name in Dubai is tommy maverick 💀💀💀💀

I really liked Berlin Egg Hunt, I admit I'm a sucker for costumes, so it rocks for me. The Bunny mask costume works great for when you're doing some serial killer RP. If you're doing SASO on Hawke, it's a requirement to wear it.

Great video thanks. Curious if you have a recommendation or a video on which parts of the World of Assassination Deluxe pack to buy? Based on this I'm thinking Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 Expansion is a must buy and Hitman 3 Seven Deadly Sins is a skip? What about Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack? Thanks again

Your doing great man keep it up

The seven deadly sins mission on berlin was my favorite by far

Nice content man! I like sapienza dlc's. And New York map is the best dlc map

I liked Sloth and Wrath a lot. Sloth is an interesting challenge in routing and thinking about/playing the game different. If there would have been a "free move" mode for Sloth, it would have been better, because you do need to explore the map a bit before planning out a route. Wrath is completely different and I understand people that don't like it because it's "not Hitman". But I enjoy shooters and combat puzzles, so I liked it a lot. The first level felt like Skyfall, setting traps and popping them, then getting to play Terminator in wave 3 after unlocking the shotgun was so cool. I remember setting off an explosive to take out 3-4 enemies, then popping out with the shotgun to kill the final one, so satisfying. The second and third levels were much harder and I had to resort to some cheese (leaving one target alive each wave), but setting up all the distractions and prepping the mansion for defense was very cool, felt like playing the third act of a Burn Notice episode. Again, completely understand where people hated it, it's a totally different gameplay experience from any of the rest of the game. Envy was decent, level 3 seeing the rival do a sniper kill and then denying him the rifle afterwards was a cool moment. Lust was the only one of 7DS I thought was straight trash, but that actually is kinda understandable, as it's the only deadly sin that makes essentially zero sense when mapped onto Hitman mechanics.

this might be weird to say but Haven island is my favorite map, i like the tropical feel to it and sometimes just sit on the chairs at 47's shack!! my only complaint about it is you can't unlcok the swim suit!!

So if I play the game on gamepass, do I have to buy the actual game AND the deluxe pack if I want to play the New York map and Haven Island? I don’t know what to but

on embrace of the serpant you could put something in the traps bc he checks them ever route he takes

Envy is like Ghost Mode on a budget

I love your Hitman content. It's well structured and informed. I like Colorado though btw. What are some reasons people dislike it?

7:21 but isn't this the same thing for patient zero? "Fails in all the core functions of hitman in order to attract a different demographic"(3:40) id say this applies to the sniper missions much more than patient zero

I personally think submissions from Hitman 2016 are beyond decent overall while those from Hitman 2018 are garbages. I mean in Hitman 2016 IOI changed the map quite a lot in submissions to make them significantly different from story missions which is pretty cool, but unfortunately most of them in Hitman 2018 are just with few changes, and targets are only roaming in very restricted areas, making those missions boring to replay. And although I don't enjoy playing some of the stages in 7DS pack like sloth and wrath, I still find them somehow creative comparing to the existing playstyle of the story missions, and they also made quite decently in graphics too. I do agree that many of the DLCs are not only lack of free approaches but also the fun for many players to replay, but I would definitely love seeing different game modes and designs in Hitman trilogy. Like them or not we won't be getting new Hitman games for a couple of years so they're all we have for now. I just hope IOI can get back to this title soon.

Would love to know the ratings for Sarajevo Six now that it's available for PC. I just completed it and I seriously loved it.

Oh yeah, not really included in this list because these were PS exclusive, but I also enjoyed the Sarajevo Six, someone was able to make them playable and with rank in Peacock on PC and it was glorious to play them again (got the original one of PS3 back then). They are fun but I wouldn't rank them anywhere beyond good, probably decent... and Colorado in bad, hated that one.

I can only buy woa… $74.16 exactly in ps store. I’m late to hitman games but I love them. The new ones are best for gameplay some story.

Dude the lust suit is bad? Ain’t no way

With Hitman The Author, I went into the ICA apartment, killed the woman on MY balcony. Jumped down, shot the camera, went inside, and slaughtered every guard in there. Stole the brother's disguise. Went to the church, shot the bell after wondering if I could jumpstart this. Brought Blac into a shed, he noticed I wasn't the brother, I shot him in the end. He had a guard standing outside the window, shot him in the head, put on his disguise, then left. The Source: I ran upstairs, stole a bodyguard's outfit, then I went into the cooking area, pushed the female waiter out the window. I then killed the recruit guy, dragged his body to the dumpster, headed upstairs, and sat down just in time for the guy to come in. I drowned him. I then went downstairs after putting the bodyguard clothes back on. Found the woman on the balcony, pushed her off, went into the kitchen because I was compromised, punched and killed the waiter, then exited the level. The Vector: I killed all infected, but one almost escaped as I kept missing. Patient Zero: I had to sneak in, the I found a guard, killed him and stole his outfit, then dumped his body. I had waited too long and multiple people got infected, me included. I ran around trying to figure out how to get to the cure, infecting others, but I did make it in the end. Luckily guards kept running in, and I killed a random scientist, whom was one of the targets. I also shot patient zero in the head. I had to kill about 80 people. Holiday Hoarders: Honestly just played it for the suit. I started in the basement, went into a room with the one guy. For some reason he got panicked and started to run, so I shot him in the head. I was upstairs waiting for the time the other guy was alone. I shot him in the head, and then I escaped. Landslide: N/A The Icon: I killed two people in this level, a security guy and crew guy. I turned off the lights, nothing happened. I then made it so that the fames killed him, then I escaped. House Built On Sand: What I did was first enter into the club, caused a gas leak and turned off the oil lamp, the target turned it on causing my first kill. I then found the fortune teller, lured him out, killed him and dumped his body, became him, entered the building, and waited for the one customer to leave. I never turned on the fog machine, I had the other guy come in, killed him, then went for the exit. New York: N/A Haven Island: N/A Austria: Eliminated a good chunk of the targets Siberia: N/A Hantu Port: N/A A Silver Tongue: N/A Embrace Of The Serpent: N/A Illusions of Grandeur: N/A A Bitter Pill: N/A Greed: N/A Pride: N/A Sloth: N/A Gluttony: N/A Lust: N/A Envy: N/A Wrath: N/A Deluxe Escalations, N/A Dartmoor Garden Show: N/A Berlin Egg Hunt: Pretty fun, unlocked the suit as well. I did mess up and get myself killed once. Ambrose Island: N/A Freelancer: First Syndicate Completed

didnt u put haven island as the worst map in your list video did your thoughts change would carpathian mountains be the worst where would you place haven then

What was sad about illusions of grandeur is I immediately found a way to get sa/so on my second try

My opinion is everything here I would pick the sane apart from the Sniper Missions Austria was so fun for me.

I feel like sniper assassin missions were a waste of resources that could have been put into making a whole new map which makes them really dissapointing in my opinion. They also don't unlock anything in the main game as far as I understand, just for this gamemode. Not to mention it feels way more satisfying to just snipe people on regular maps like Sapienza with multiple vantage points or Paris or even Colorado or any other map really. And the challanges there revolve around scord and time, which only speedruners appreciate while I want to 100% the game in my own pace.

I don't remember greed having a loud pistol. Did they change it after this video?

The 7 sins dlc did the game no favor. As a hardcore fan since day one,I loved the campaign,and was highly motivated, to unlock new stuff to get things done easier, quicker and in silent assassin mode. 7sins felt just kind a freak show, according to the suits and outfits to me... nothing special. The core game? Still love it today

Do you have a top 10 suits video?

12:33 if you use the gold brick sedative poison grenade you do not lose silent assassin

dunno, i hate egg hunt, kinda wished i didn't even buy the game when i saw it 🤣 thanks for the warning on 7DS, i was thinking on buying it but naaah. i see i'd just get pissed. awesome video, as always. cheers!

Hated the Sins and stopped playing them once I got to sloth Freelancer got me playing again after a long break from the game

I failed lust because I couldn't give the admirer the bouquet, I ended failing because I shot them out of frustration. Fuck this mission. Wrath is a failed opportunity for a pretty cool escalation. I like the idea of having to take out guards that are all on high alert with stuff you find along the way. But the execution is god awful and it feels like they seriously cut some corners.

13:18 what an analogy, I’m using that one

The Icon has some of the best accident kills.

I never understood IOI's marketing strategy with Hitman WOA like they made the best dlcs with new maps and contents free with base game but charging money for some garbage escalation contract that only few people care I love this new Hitman series so much so that I even bought it twice (steam and epic) but I wish they were more customer friendly about their expansions it was so convoluted to even but this game before they merged all the maps in single game. I wish to see some dlcs in future bringing back classic Hitman missions in new game engine and modern graphics.

Oh boy how people’s minds changed about Haven Island

this man cooked and made a 5 star meal while burning the whole kitchen

It's a weird strategy of IOI to have their worst DLC be paid and their best be free.

very cool

Sloth was a puzzle. You had to figure out the intended route.

Very cool

I got Hitman WOA but it didn’t come with haven island so bad cause of the emetic things but I have to pay so much extra just for those 😔

I didn’t even know that all those missions were dlc, i just bought the golden edition of the game while it was at 80% discount without knowing what i would gain. Cool tho.

i personally find envy ok it feels like a cod zombies in hitman but being restricted to only knifes and swords dosent make it fun. i would be more then down to play a zombies mode for hitman as i sunk around 500 hours in left 4 dead 2. Good teir list though i agree with most of the stuff

the sloth DLC was my favorite and you really shouldn't be so hard on it, I really liked it because of how different it was and cool the dynamic was how the sloth demon was against you rather than all the other sin demons that were more on your side. It doesn't deserve "garbage" category just because it's not like the "typical hitman experience". I personally really really enjoyed the sloth DLC more than any other one. And something else to mention is, how is it only meant for speedrunners? it's the sin of sloth, If you run in the level you lose vitality faster than if you just walked and if you do pacify a target with the snail bomb it doesn't lose the silent assassin rating. and on a different topic you're just generally very harsh on a lot of the DLCs that were actually good, yeah in a lot of them thy tell you to kill targets in very specific ways but that's like the vas majority of the escalations and contracts and even freelancer. you can't say a product is terrible just because you don't like it

I don't mind the 7 deadly sins level simply because I got them in addition to the good stuff

I hate Holiday Hoarders.. Trying to get all the presents then blow the two bandits up at the end was a goddamn chore. I never bought 7DS so I can't speak on those, but this one is just annoying as shit..

Say anything you want about Patient Zero, but it clears every DLC in the trilogy.

The Vector can be beaten in less than 30 seconds, if you actually know what you're doing.

I think the Shashka beast is stronger than the normal shashka and the strongest one in general if I’m not mistaken

Envy was personaly my favorite deadly sin😮

How do you have another suit in patient zero?

Mostly agree But, reckon in this case Patient Zero, all the connected dlc should be combined for your ranking which would turn it into good/great. Suppose 7 deadly sins should combined too but would not improve the ranking

7 deadly sins dlcs replicate the sins so well that for a moment this turned into an actual sin tier list

Shouldn’t a game aspire to have different styles of mission instead of appealing to one demographic? They did something cool and unique with patient zero and I think it’s weird to take points away from the map for trying to be different

Great list, though i would put the golden mask/devil escalation at the very top, simply because it took me back in time to my Blood Money days, and I somehow felt a comraderie with that yellow devil guy and how I kept running into him and having him watch me from a distance like a proud mentor. I don't know, it kinda made me emotional, ngl.

I kind of liked patient zero in patient zero if you do the right things it takes like 10 seconds so it’s bad because it’s easy

Just one thing, you missed the christmas Hokkaido level.

Hokkaido patient zero being in garbage tier is a crime I can’t even watch the rest of this

My only problem is with the last sniper map. The last map you have to play like 1000 times over & over & over & over, just to unlock a sniper rifle. A long boring grind for a weapon you will never use.

I got all the 7 Deadly Sins in a Bundle for 10€ and I really Liked the Concept but the Execution Is So Lackluster in some But Pretty Enjoyable in others like Lust, Envy, Pride and Greed were Cool and Gluttony was ok but Sloth and Wrath Were *Bad*

What suit was he wearing in patient zero hookkaido

Wasn't The Source the first before The Author?

I purchased the deadly sins DLC with the sole intention of completing my item collection, and my god, I found it painful to even attempt some of them, namely the Lust, Wrath and the Sloth one's. I still haven't completed those, I just cannot bring myself to do it, they tried something different, props to them, but this ain't it chief.

In my opinion the 7deadly sins was actually great (except wrath and the thing with the green skin)

🔥🔥🔥

tfw i bought 7 sins just for the lust suit

I'd say the worst DLC are the Street Art Pack and the Makeshift Pack. Cosmetic bullshit. Badly designed aswell. Why would you design this? Why not do design some actually cool and fitting gear. Maybe a Legacy Pack bringing back weapons from old games. Or a Tactical Pack with a Kevlar Armor like the ICA had in Absolution. Or a Providence Pack. Outfitting you like you're a Herald. Just something that feeds into a bit into the Hitman fantasy. It would definitely sell.

Another problem about the deadly sins dlc, steam version deluxe pack is glitched and you wont get the seven deadly sins to play even if you have them on the deluxe pack, so, you quite literaly pay a pack that is supposed to come with everything that adds missions and those kinds of things to the game to not get the seven deadly sins, i mean, alright most are hot garbage but for the two or three that is actualy worth the while you just cant play

patient zero is my favourite mission

Where are the Six from Sarajevo

Many people may hate me for this, but my favourite game in the ENTIRE franchise is Hitman 2016

I think freelancer should have been at the bottom.
