Hitman 3’s opening level, located in a large tower in Dubai, consists of different floors, rooms and security measures. This is a difficult stage for many players. But if you are fast, have a steady hand and have a little luck, you can beat the whole thing in about nine seconds.
As seen by PCGamesN, some Hitman speedrunners have already figured out a super fast way to take out both targets in the opening level.
How do you do that? Well, run fast up the stairs after leveling, shoot one target on the balcony above and then turn to shoot the other target, which sits above the target on an even higher balcony. Then turn around and discuss it to the exit which is only a few meters from the stairs. If you take it out fast enough, you can beat the whole level in nine seconds.
According to Speedrun.com, speedrunners Wreak and Der_Lauch_Linus is equal, who both completed the level in just nine seconds. Below is Wreak’s run.
And if you’re wondering, the speed of completing this level while achieving the silent assassin is a bit longer. A whole eight seconds longer.
G / O Media can get a commission
GuLe currently holds the world record in the category using a technique similar to the above runs, but with a sharpshooter. By using a silent gun to shoot the level, they lead guards and NPCs, and give them a window to take out the targets before the bodies are spotted.
Meanwhile, I finally beat my first Hitman 3 level use only a suit and sniper rifle. It took me about 20 minutes. And I save a little. No world record for me.
