UPDATE May, 2023: The devs have patched ALT+F4 so you will fail your freelancer mission if you now use that key combination. The current workaround for when you want to restart your mission is to pause the game, open task manager, then end task Hitman 3. Freeze has more details here: ruclips.net/video/alULcm9l200/видео.html
Why you link MrFreeze's videos? He got caught for asking nude photos from 14 year old teenager etc. He is a pedophile. EDIT: 3:25 If you fish a Driftwood log at the Safehouse, you get a briefcase.
for me it does the same thing and that is why i go to details and click hitman3.exe and then end task this method ends the process the other is same to alt f4 at least for me
in the beginning - yes learn how to get lots of cash (New York) and you may completely ignore failures. unless you loose constantly, you can quickly get all items and from that point onward you have no need for money, so in case of failure, you can rather quickly refill all three basic equipment cases. in the end, I enjoy this mode far more than contracts (which I wouldn't even play if not for achievements and related unlockables. I am/was forcing myself to do one or two every week for that reason only).
I've screamed f you at my tv more since I started freelancer. I can't make it past the last mission in the second syndicate. I take that back, I made it to the first mission on the third syndicate once and died in the first 2 minutes.
An additional tip for Showdown missions: The description of your target is exact, and exclusive. The Leader will NEVER show a tell or look that is not present on the guide. So, if the tell is "Smoking" and "Sweet Tooth," then seeing a suspect preform a "Bookworm" tell is an instant freebie rule-out.
@@FatherTime89 F*cking tattoos. I failed two showdowns after a guide vid told me the descriptions were exact and exclusive, period, before figuring this out. There's nothing I loathe more than a game that heavily relies on rules that turn out to have unwritten exceptions.
@@tommydowning3481 they'll sometimes have multiple people that match ALL the visual descriptions. Your target will have all the visual descriptions and all the tells (and no other tells since each suspect only has two tells), and will go to the right kind of meeting
Long time Hitman fan - this franchise has been given more care, and has more fully reached it's potential than any IP of my childhood. Freelancer is IOI's final and greatest gift. Peak hitman indeed
Yea I played blood money as a kid when it went on a steam sale and fell in love with the franchise next sale I saw I got the whole hitman collection to absolution with DLCS I played the hell out of the hitman series and absolutely loved it I even bought it on My Xbox when I couldn't use my computer unfortunately contracts for hitman absolution went down so I just went and forgot about the game playing the campaigns to death. Seeing freelancer has given me that same joy I once felt and let me tell you finishing my first campaign and getting a gold baller as a reward was amazing it was my childhood with better graphics all over.
Yea for real. I'm finally playing Hitman again and it's extremely challenging even without hardcore mode. My hat comes off to the creators of this game mode. Bravo people!
Bananas are great to rob couriers. After you unlock the kitchen there will always spawn a banana to bring along to missions. Just closely observe the couriers path and place the banana (which is totally legal btw). When they slip they will drop the Merces, and afaik they won't pick them up again. Another niche tactic is placing guns or other illegal objects to distract a guard. When an NPC sees a gun where it isn't supposed to be they will alert the nearest guard (unless they already are a guard) and that guard will then pick the weapon up and bring it to the nearest weapon depot (those black boxes in some security rooms). Some bodyguards or door guards are immune to this, but if there's a particularly annoying patrolling guard this can make them disappear for a while. Keep in mind that Hitman 3 only lets you carry 1 of each gun (if you already have the exact model in your inventory the new one will disappear)
Yes, I should have specified that bananas are the intentional way to take out couriers in public, and the dropped weapon trick is indeed great for luring guards away from the area for a while. However I don't think assassins pick up dropped weapons? I'm not sure but I feel like they just ignore them, but in theory it should be a solid strategy for distracting assassins away from their relative suspects
@@Mordrukk666 Assassins tend to call someone to pick up a weapon if they see it. However, if an unarmed npc sees it and the nearest guard npc is an assassin, the civilian will notify the assassin and the assassin will come pick it up. I've used it a few times to remove bodyguards from suspects before setting up a meeting. I also have a tip for showdowns that is tricky to pull off it but worth it when done right. Won't work on the first showdown as there is only one network, but later showdowns have multiple networks so if you identify a suspect in a different network to the leader, you can cause a panic for that network to evacuate the area. I'd advise causing the panic somewhere secluded so only that network panics. I've had one instance where the leaders network left as well but I think they saw the same body rather than it being caused by the first network. I've used the panic successfully 5 times so far (not always intentionally) and it helps a lot when there are 9 suspects.
@@xt4hodgson I started noticing the chain reaction when suspects become panicked and you're right - additional suspects will only escape if they're in the vicinity of an already escaping suspect. If the suspects are spread out enough, only one of the networks will escape. It's absolutely a great way to thin the herd of suspects when there's too damn many
Watch out though, I was on the last level of a campaign. I was in whittleton creek, I found my target, she smokes, and I had a propane flask. I set up the propane flask where she smoked, and waited nearby. I figured I would set it up better, so I went up to it, and the mailman threw a newspaper right at the flask and it exploded, killing me and ruining my campaign
Great video! Thanks for the tips! Another quick tip if you just want a briefcase in every level without the risk of bringing and, potentially, losing a large firearm: Fishing. If you fish and get a driftwood, not only will it not count towards your total capacity, but the game treats it as a large item that requires a briefcase so it gives you one at the start of the level. Then you can simply toss off the driftwood out your briefcase or use it to distract or bonk some heads.
came down here to say this and glad it was already said, "fishing for a briefcase" was something i started doing alot once i unlocked fishing since the driftwood is the most common catch
Honestly I’d rather just lose a rifle than waste my time going up and out and waiting on fishing and then going back inside to go on the actual mission… You can always use something like a Bartholdi 12G or a Shashka, the 2 most common large weapons.
@@Mordrukk666 Shooting wet ground will sometimes not work. I failed an accident condition when a puddle bugged out and didn't electrocute, so I tried an oil can but that wouldn't light either since it was raining
@@Mordrukk666 - I thought you were shooting the wrench as a work around from the game sometimes limiting 47 from earning an Accident Kill by shooting the oil/fuel.
@@danalexander2149 right - sometimes shooting the spill doesn't work, or it doesn't count as an accident. But with the wrench approach, I've never had any issues, so I believe it to be the most foolproof way to go about it
I'd like add a simple tip I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else: To get a free briefcase just bring some driftwood with you. It doesn't take up any space in your inventory. Plus you can use the driftwood to distract someone or throw at someone without wasting your briefcase.
Note about push kills, I have gotten it to count when dumping an unconscious body over a ledge as well, if there is no convenient place along your targets pathing.
Two more from me. Showdown on Paris is extreamly easy if you manage to get Helmut Kruger disguise. Best option is to start his oportunity, go on the nearby port behind the helicopter, throw something againt the wall and then throw one on the egde of port. You are allowed almost everywhere and suspect can't detect you. Also if you think you can't isolate target that is guard you can drop pistol from other guard and he will go with it to a secluded space - I use this on the guard target in the middle area in New York.
Another tip-New York is a fantastic map for this mode. The vault is great for starting out and if you grab all the gold bars in the bank robber disguise, You and get the gold sawed off shotgun for FREE. And that dang security room with a bottle of sleepy juice is perfect for wiping out loads of guards or for setting up a great arranged meeting trap.
I’ve been a die hard fan of the franchise since Blood Money, and I’m overall very happy with the mode. My main frustration has to do with a few of the objectives being bugged, which I expect to be patched. I’ve been chronicling highlights from my Freelancer journey in RUclips uploads, which I’ve been enjoying sharing with friends online.
Specifically the Prank Caller challenge and then the Arrange a Meeting objective. Those rarely pop for me, even when I do everything right. It's literally random if it works or not.
Some Additional Tips About The Maps. If you are new try to avoid Colorado like the video said, but I also personally avoid Haven Island and Bangkok as well as for Bangkok and Haven the targets are hard to isolate usually, and Haven has really bugged detection. If you're also in the area already on NY you can actually enter the vault to get some mercers ~10k but it varies. For Showdowns I find Sapienza is also a good pick due to the excessive sniper spots (Ruins, Church, and Clock) which make finding and killing the target pretty easy.
Haven Island is really good for non-alerted showdowns. Step 1 locate target. Step 2 go to the top of the giant tower with a Sniper Rifle. Step 3 Snipe target. Step 4. Run
You can also easily pick up the Golden Sawed-Off Bartoli 12G legendary shotgun while you're in the vault in New York. Just put on the bank robber disguise from the first floor bathroom before picking up all the gold bars in the vault and it will spawn in behind you. It's also concealable, making it not only easy to take but also useful for completing shotgun kill objectives in other missions, though it won't pass a frisk.
This is the best hitman help video I've ever seen. I even saved it to reference again later. I didn't know any of these tips except for the 2 closed door rule. You earned your subscription today!
Thanks Mike! Anything I forgot to cover in the video has been fleshed out by the brilliant additions in the comments, so at this point it's fairly comprehensive for tips in general
all of these tips are things i recently figured out about the game from doing all the maps with silent assassin suit only, but this is a very well made video which summarises everything in the context of freelancer
Throughout all the debates about how great the World of Assasination games have been, I've still carried a torch for Blood Money as peak Hitman. Until now. Freelancer is INCREDIBLE
Thanks Liam - there is one compressor issue I need to fix on the VO that folks like Dan noticed, but the title cards are just white text with composite difference to negative out whatever layer they're on top of. It's a super easy and clean effect to apply
That tipps and tricks are also very usefull in GENERAL playing Hitman campaigns! Especially that 3 wall and 2 door "exploids" where you can easy detonate explosives and so on - also knowing WHICH GLASS is bullet proof and which not can safe your "perfect shooter" so - that fire cracker trick with oil cannister trap is a life saver!!! So looting this precious chests with gear on maps and KNOWING where they might be can help a lot ... same goes for knowing the best disguise for each specific area... some maps have a freaking awsome disguise which brings you everywhere ... guard outfits per se: you can wear a silenced assault rifle or any gun on your back visible even a security guard in Miami (which are normally not running with Assaults!) are totally fine... for Showdowns: you can be in TRESPASSING AREAS totally chilly if no normal enforcers are there the suspects are only enforcers if its an alerted showdown... Assassins are never enforcers! Thats my 2cents as well as for push kills: if you want to push a guard over a ledge or window and you don't have coins? place a GUN: it works the same way as shown in this video! I am a veteran player of Hitman and hard boiled by many fails of Freelancer so i know my tricks ... and yes if the HEAT is on: if you created a safe space maybe with only 1 entrance for guards rushing you - i hope you have stocked up on bullets :-) it helps - i cleared in the attic of Paris almost all guards of the map because i messed up and killing guards is free so feel free to kill as many treads if necessary ;-) FOX OUT
Overall, Freelancer is a *fantastic* game mode. Still, gonna vent a little: I don't like the Perfect Shooter objective. I don't take issue with having to never miss. The problem is that if you have it and want to complete it, you can only shoot NPCs and nothing else. No cameras. No security stations. No oil drums. If a single shotgun pellet misses your target, you lose it. Apparently it's a bug, but still: if a sniper shot goes through your target and hits the environment, you can lose it. No chandelier chains or other accident items. That last one is even more restrictive because not every chandelier has a winch and many of them don't. Also if you don't have/can't find/can't afford the proper tools to create spills/leaks on the map without shooting, you can't do the accident kill you want. I just think a lot of the current restrictions for Perfect Shooter are unnecessary. There are quite a few non-NPC items on the map that you benefit from shooting at. I've achieved the objective a few times before writing this, but in case anyone wants to argue "skill issue", I urge them to think of it this way: imagine you pistol-sniped a chandelier chain from across the map, through a window, and it lands perfectly on your target and no one else. A perfect, clean accident with an insane shot that nets you Silent Assassin. But now Freelancer thinks your aim is dogshit because you didn't shoot an NPC, and takes off Perfect Shooter from your score. That's why it gets to me. It's the principle of it!
Just started playing freelancer I had no clue about it until I updated my game and opened it a couple days ago. Veteran player and tbh I think this is one of the best additions to HItman yet.
Great tips! I started playing with this release. LOVE the freelance mode after I beat the campaigns. But man is it brutal. Propane is my go to collateral accident kill but I need to experiment with these great canister ideas.
Great video thanks. Thrilled to hear that you have been playing hitman for 2x years, I myself have been playing for 14 years and I am also super happy with the Freelancer mode, I just wish there was a Restart button
An easy way to have a briefcase is to bring the car battery from the garage. I pretty much always grab the wrench and battery from in there on my way out. Easy accident kills when you overflow a sink and drop that car battery on em.
Biggest thing that helped me was not getting greedy, especially in the beginning. I swear, they add couriers who are designed to be impossible, walking back and forth through a crowded room. I'll usually try for the safe and any couriers who isolate themselves, but keep my eyes on the target and focus on couriers if the dealer has something I need. And Colorado is fun, if you play it kinda slow, but one time I got a suit only complication and had a good laugh.
Shooting a wrench to create a spark is wild. It's crazy they added such a small detail into the game, yet you can still shoot someone in the leg and they drown the moment their face touches the water. What will or won't work in this game, and what will or won't kill a person, is often hilarious.
To anyone who wants to bring a briefcase with them into a mission, but wants it without a large weapon, use driftwood. You can get it every run, it weighs nothing, making it perfect if you want to pull off the emetic briefcase trick.
@@Mordrukk666 I’ve heard it has to do with the floor material so yeah a metal object is a guarantee. Are objects 100% metal or non metal or are they non metal where is makes sense. For example. Does shooting a screwdriver handle not create sparks but shooting the shaft do?
@@Sp0ttheCat1701 that's a good point about the material of the floor - shooting soil and grass shouldn't make a spark, but I'm not sure what material is guaranteed to do so other than possibly asphalt. And I'll have to experiment with the screwdriver - that'd be wild if shooting the shaft creates sparks but the handle does not
I got the reboot for free a few years back on ps plus, had some fun with it, then I maxed out Hawkes Bay when they released that. I went into Freelancer without playing any of the missions in 3, and I love it.
I was lost all gear when i play last and say fuck this shit ..but now you make me play again this mode like this sometimes make you bad mood but after you play again and make happy
I've been playing hitman since blood money on the ps2 all the way up to freelancer on the xbox series s (shouldve bought the x) but i gotta say thanks for the video, always love learning new ways to play,
One good tip, maybe a lot of people know, if u dont want to lose everything when u die, at the moment u get discovered and being shot, close game on the deskop and u can reload before the mission started with all the items. If u die on the mission, whatever if u pause and close the game it will save automatically, so close the game before u die. PC only
Mendoza is the absolute best level for showdowns. Most of the time you spawn in the cave where you get the "skeleton key" disguise right away and literally everything is accessible then and there. Not to mention you have an incomparable line of sight to all the suspects at once, so if you're lazy, you can just mark 3-4 top suspects and most likely be able to take them out from the game's original spawn point in a few seconds.
Lots of comments mentioning New York and the Mercers + shotgun in the vault. It's worth raiding the safe deposit boxes as well. There are two melee items that always spawn (Burial Knife which is epic and another one that I can't remember the name of that's legendary), as well as lethal poison, chloroform, and a package bomb. If you play it safe and prepare methodically, the basement guard room is probably the best meeting ambush spot in the game. You can only poison the vents once though, so you need to kill or KO the guards there some other way and hide their bodies first. Then once the meeting happens, you can easily KO everyone with the chloroform. Or just lethally poison them if you don't care about collateral. I personally like to opt for Whittleton, Dubai, or Miami for showdowns, but that's as much because I just like those maps and know them very well as anything else.
Additional tip that I just learnt today. I assumed that tasers would behave like tasers in real life and just knockout people, no. They kill, and what's more, it's considered an accident kill - amazing for doing hardcore silent assassin.
I started playing a while after hitman 2 came out but I think freelancer mode is so cool and from my experience there’s 3 types of players: those that prefer to grind a level and follow a set path until the finally achieve their goal and feel super accomplished or those that are a bit less dedicated and prefer to just plan on the go and play as it is and then you have the very small amount of people that only play the campaign for the story and not really much else aside from maybe the sniper missions
I actually like doing freelamcer in Colorado so long as I don't have suit only objectives. The point man is the only disguise in the game that lets you walk around armed with a sniper rifle. Showdowns I absolutely avoid places like Bangkok and Marrakesh as you can't always get lines out of sight in the densely packed crowds. Showdown locations I like are New York and Dubai as they have civilian disguises that have large unrestricted access like the Job Applicant and Penthouse staff. The reason for civilian disguises is a stage that is alerted have more enforcers that see through guard disguises, most the time they will not see through non-guard disguises. New York is also a good place to raid the vault for Merces.
My personal tip Pretty new so may not be a good idea but if you get the chance to get an emetic tranq gun, take it. Its helped me in so many scenarios to take out an annoying target
fantastic video! absolutely agreed. also, I do love the bank in new york. i take it every time i can. also, i think colorado is really really fun when it pairs with objectives to kill guards. i love mowing down all the enemies on the map, especially because there are several different disguises. After my massacre i can change and go find the target :)
Also I want to say that you are supposed to catch every stuff to fit the stillage. For example the police baton appears in Paris, New York and Hokkaido. It's easy to take it and you will not need to buy it or get it as a reward. Guardians in Dubai equipped with silenced Shashka or silenced SMG
I'm a Payday 2 (stealth) player but Freelancer looks like a ton of fun. I didn't play the vanilla Hitman games too much because I found them a bit too scripted and repetitive. But this rouge-like house-building thing is really good so...
@swampexpertextraordinaire6896 After watching hitman speedruns, it's clear how scripted it is. You could play just by looking at the timer. If you load up a level multiple times and record it, then overlap the videos, there's no difference 99% of the time. You can shoot down a chandelier at exactly X seconds and it's guarenteed elimination. You can camp spawn with a sniper and shoot a window at X seconds to take the racecar out. It's crazy.
As a veteran i appreciate the music in the background, ioi needs to put something similar in freelancer also we should be able to customize 47's suits.
Thanks for the guide. So far I haven't played it much (first because it only works one time out of 20 when I open the game mode) and because it gives me so much anxiety to possibly lose all my gear, the alt+F4 thing might have just solved that though.
Slipping on a banana is an accident, many people think IO switched the banana up but no, there is just one rule they added. If a personal guard sees an accident happen, they will confirm that it was not an accident. For personal guards it’s still okay to see the aftermath and it’s only not an accident if they see the accident happen in front of them.
great vid, learned a couple of things myself! one thing I would like to say about the snipers is that most of them (minus a couple that I've used, but can't remember which ones) have really long briefcase load/unload animations that are not cancellable- there's been a couple of times where guards have run up on me after I got a quick sniper shot off and tried to stow it away. idk if that's a new addition or not since I only used the sieger ghost pre-freelancer (which had quick animations) but def something to watch out for as a newer player
There's a minor glitch I've encountered with closing and opening the game, any time an objective is completed (like destroying a surveillance system) you keep the XP from completing that objective even without completing the mission so theoretically you could just restart the same mission and never complete it for easy XP
Yep, though it's less of a glitch and just more how the game works at an API level. When you complete an objective, that XP is queued up server-side, and then it's added to your overall XP when the round is complete. It doesn't account for rounds that were alt+f4'd since using that trick breaks the game's lifecycle hooks (the queued XP won't be cleared via onExit() or onQuit() as usual), so it just remains server-side and continues to accumulate as you try the round again. In theory, someone could play the same round over and over again, but considering you'll need to complete around 575 contracts to hit level 100, that seems kind of pointless and the opposite of fun
The Jesper Kyd soundtracks for the early games really elevated the atmosphere and made them more memorable than they would have been otherwise. Even 20 years later, these songs still slap!
I was once on the final target of a mission, done everything perfectly, collected the Couriers, all crates, all objectives... And the final thing to do was to kill the last target with a sniper riffle, which I had on a suitcase and on a good spot to kill the target... I started to collect the sniper from the suitcase but I noticed some guards coming towards me, I freaked out and I dropped the rifle, but it felt on the water as I was on the edge of a pier in that Island with the secret society... OMG I was sooooooo pissed at myself lol...
I accidentally discovered that closing the app does not take your stuff away after I had the dumbest death I have had in a Hitman game. Also, I hate New York.
Should you play through Hitman before starting with Freelancer? So that you know the maps and places better? Because I haven't played the story for a long time. I would be very happy about an answer
Yes, play through the campaign and memorize as much as you can about each location. Freelancer is basically endgame content, so you'll want to jump in after the campaign
One thing I learned from this mode is, the more you succeed, the more you have to lose later.I like the thumbnail pic. Say anything..... ANYTHING goes bad, in a single instant you lose 500K cause of 1 fail.Work of over 10 hours goes down the drain for a single mistake in a single moment. I swear, this mode is self destructive.
I've seen a lot of discussion about it on the subreddit. Someone found a typo for it within the game's item JSON, suggesting that typo is what's preventing it from appearing in-game. Another thread mentioned this tweet ( twitter.com/Hitman/status/1632722514022473729?t=hZ7tgicedj7T8ufQKDSvew&s=19 ) which insinuates IOI is aware of the fact that no one can find it. So either no one has found it yet and it's extremely well hidden, or it's simply bugged and will hopefully be fixed in the next patch
Have you tried Hardcore Mode yet? lol..... Try it and then see if you still like it. I'm also a Hitman veteran, and I struggle to find this mode fun at all. It's not really all that hard, just a bit time consuming. Some moments are kinda fun at times because of the unpredictability of your next planned strategy, but a lot of the mode is sadly ruined by idiotic and pointless objectives that make no sense or just add frustration and tedium to the entire experience. I just wish side objectives weren't so stupid and lame and pointless. Most of the missions that I end up failing are because I'm attempting to perform some kind of stupid side objective that ends up resulting in me getting caught.... And the side objective was completely pointless and useless to my strategy to begin with. I hate it lol. Mode needs some work to be fun. For now, it's just repetitive tedious chore work trash that forces you to question your entire life up to that point whenever you fail a mission because you thought that was a remote explosive but instead it was a proximity explosive because the mines both look almost completely identical to one another in your mission inventory slot..... and lose all your cool stuff.
great video, however i would like to add marrakesh into the list of maps to avoid if possible, solely because of the possibility of spawning in the school which is a stupid death pit
The surest way to make (or at least never lose) Merces is to Alt+F4 right after you go to the Vault after a mission, check the stock market and realize you lost Merces.
UPDATE May, 2023: The devs have patched ALT+F4 so you will fail your freelancer mission if you now use that key combination.

Freelancer is a perfect mix of very gratifying when you succeed, and insanely rage inducing when you fail
in the beginning - yes
learn how to get lots of cash (New York) and you may completely ignore failures. unless you loose constantly, you can quickly get all items and from that point onward you have no need for money, so in case of failure, you can rather quickly refill all three basic equipment cases.
in the end, I enjoy this mode far more than contracts (which I wouldn't even play if not for achievements and related unlockables. I am/was forcing myself to do one or two every week for that reason only).

Bananas are great to rob couriers. After you unlock the kitchen there will always spawn a banana to bring along to missions. Just closely observe the couriers path and place the banana (which is totally legal btw). When they slip they will drop the Merces, and afaik they won't pick them up again.
Another niche tactic is placing guns or other illegal objects to distract a guard. When an NPC sees a gun where it isn't supposed to be they will alert the nearest guard (unless they already are a guard) and that guard will then pick the weapon up and bring it to the nearest weapon depot (those black boxes in some security rooms). Some bodyguards or door guards are immune to this, but if there's a particularly annoying patrolling guard this can make them disappear for a while. Keep in mind that Hitman 3 only lets you carry 1 of each gun (if you already have the exact model in your inventory the new one will disappear)
Yes, I should have specified that bananas are the intentional way to take out couriers in public, and the dropped weapon trick is indeed great for luring guards away from the area for a while. However I don't think assassins pick up dropped weapons? I'm not sure but I feel like they just ignore them, but in theory it should be a solid strategy for distracting assassins away from their relative suspects

I've used it a few times to remove bodyguards from suspects before setting up a meeting.
I also have a tip for showdowns that is tricky to pull off it but worth it when done right. Won't work on the first showdown as there is only one network, but later showdowns have multiple networks so if you identify a suspect in a different network to the leader, you can cause a panic for that network to evacuate the area. I'd advise causing the panic somewhere secluded so only that network panics. I've had one instance where the leaders network left as well but I think they saw the same body rather than it being caused by the first network. I've used the panic successfully 5 times so far (not always intentionally) and it helps a lot when there are 9 suspects.
@@xt4hodgson I started noticing the chain reaction when suspects become panicked and you're right - additional suspects will only escape if they're in the vicinity of an already escaping suspect. If the suspects are spread out enough, only one of the networks will escape. It's absolutely a great way to thin the herd of suspects when there's too damn many
This guy bananas
Man sounds like a professional hitman himself ha, great video
I love the Propane Tank combined with the "smoker" trait. Fun accident kill that can be quite easily set up.
Watch out though, I was on the last level of a campaign. I was in whittleton creek, I found my target, she smokes, and I had a propane flask. I set up the propane flask where she smoked, and waited nearby. I figured I would set it up better, so I went up to it, and the mailman threw a newspaper right at the flask and it exploded, killing me and ruining my campaign
@@lylahsworld3930damnnnnnn.. That's f'ed! I'd be creating so many contracts on that mofo postal man after that shiii.
About the "Push Kill" objective: knocking out a target and throwing them out of a window for example will work too
thanks for this, i could never seem to find my target in a good spot so i always just ignored this one
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Another quick tip if you just want a briefcase in every level without the risk of bringing and, potentially, losing a large firearm: Fishing.
If you fish and get a driftwood, not only will it not count towards your total capacity, but the game treats it as a large item that requires a briefcase so it gives you one at the start of the level. Then you can simply toss off the driftwood out your briefcase or use it to distract or bonk some heads.
What an absolutely brilliant idea - definitely going to use this one!
@@Mordrukk666easier to just get the car battery from the garage
Although to be fair it does cost inventory slots
@@Bova-Fett yeah taking the battery is faster but costs 3 weight. The driftwood is 0, so the driftwood is definitely a better option for newer players
came down here to say this and glad it was already said, "fishing for a briefcase" was something i started doing alot once i unlocked fishing since the driftwood is the most common catch
Honestly I’d rather just lose a rifle than waste my time going up and out and waiting on fishing and then going back inside to go on the actual mission… You can always use something like a Bartholdi 12G or a Shashka, the 2 most common large weapons.
5:36 I don't think you necessarily need to shoot a wrench or anything to ignite the fire. You only need to shoot the floor or puddle
Shooting the oil spill doesn't always work for me, though it could be a bug on PC. Either way, shooting a metal object will always create a spark
@@Mordrukk666 Shooting wet ground will sometimes not work. I failed an accident condition when a puddle bugged out and didn't electrocute, so I tried an oil can but that wouldn't light either since it was raining
@@Mordrukk666 - I thought you were shooting the wrench as a work around from the game sometimes limiting 47 from earning an Accident Kill by shooting the oil/fuel.
Usually need extra shots then its wood but you don't realy need metal
@@danalexander2149 right - sometimes shooting the spill doesn't work, or it doesn't count as an accident. But with the wrench approach, I've never had any issues, so I believe it to be the most foolproof way to go about it
I'd like add a simple tip I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else: To get a free briefcase just bring some driftwood with you. It doesn't take up any space in your inventory. Plus you can use the driftwood to distract someone or throw at someone without wasting your briefcase.
Note about push kills, I have gotten it to count when dumping an unconscious body over a ledge as well, if there is no convenient place along your targets pathing.
Two more from me. Showdown on Paris is extreamly easy if you manage to get Helmut Kruger disguise. Best option is to start his oportunity, go on the nearby port behind the helicopter, throw something againt the wall and then throw one on the egde of port. You are allowed almost everywhere and suspect can't detect you. Also if you think you can't isolate target that is guard you can drop pistol from other guard and he will go with it to a secluded space - I use this on the guard target in the middle area in New York.
Also Sheikh disquise has the same privilages as Helmut's.
I always use the CICADA guard disguise. I literally forgot you can dress up as Helmut Kruger.
Finally a good video for freelancer. I learned alot. I still haven't beat a campaign. The burner phone I think will be my savior.
Another tip-New York is a fantastic map for this mode. The vault is great for starting out and if you grab all the gold bars in the bank robber disguise, You and get the gold sawed off shotgun for FREE. And that dang security room with a bottle of sleepy juice is perfect for wiping out loads of guards or for setting up a great arranged meeting trap.
unfortunately this has been updated and barely worth the trouble now. still good for a couple thousand merces but nothing like it used to be
I’ve been a die hard fan of the franchise since Blood Money, and I’m overall very happy with the mode. My main frustration has to do with a few of the objectives being bugged, which I expect to be patched. I’ve been chronicling highlights from my Freelancer journey in RUclips uploads, which I’ve been enjoying sharing with friends online.
Specifically the Prank Caller challenge and then the Arrange a Meeting objective. Those rarely pop for me, even when I do everything right. It's literally random if it works or not.
Some Additional Tips About The Maps.
If you are new try to avoid Colorado like the video said, but I also personally avoid Haven Island and Bangkok as well as for Bangkok and Haven the targets are hard to isolate usually, and Haven has really bugged detection.
If you're also in the area already on NY you can actually enter the vault to get some mercers ~10k but it varies.
For Showdowns I find Sapienza is also a good pick due to the excessive sniper spots (Ruins, Church, and Clock) which make finding and killing the target pretty easy.
Excellent additions, thanks Tony!
@Swamp Expert Extraordinaire, It is also a great place to lure targets using the meeting phones. And there is a mansion security disguise nearby.
Haven Island is really good for non-alerted showdowns. Step 1 locate target. Step 2 go to the top of the giant tower with a Sniper Rifle. Step 3 Snipe target. Step 4. Run
You can also easily pick up the Golden Sawed-Off Bartoli 12G legendary shotgun while you're in the vault in New York. Just put on the bank robber disguise from the first floor bathroom before picking up all the gold bars in the vault and it will spawn in behind you. It's also concealable, making it not only easy to take but also useful for completing shotgun kill objectives in other missions, though it won't pass a frisk.
@@Okusar how do you get to the vault from the bathroom without going into a shootout?
This is the best hitman help video I've ever seen. I even saved it to reference again later. I didn't know any of these tips except for the 2 closed door rule. You earned your subscription today!
Thanks Mike! Anything I forgot to cover in the video has been fleshed out by the brilliant additions in the comments, so at this point it's fairly comprehensive for tips in general
The coin on the window sill for a push kill is a great tip. Thanks for that.
all of these tips are things i recently figured out about the game from doing all the maps with silent assassin suit only, but this is a very well made video which summarises everything in the context of freelancer
Throughout all the debates about how great the World of Assasination games have been, I've still carried a torch for Blood Money as peak Hitman. Until now.
Freelancer is INCREDIBLE
packed with essential tips for hitman in general and also for freelancer mode, thank you!
It is humbling to know this primal rage I've never experienced till feelancer, is shared amongst a community
really well produced - I liked the voiceover and the opacity effect on the title cards
You must be joking. The sound on this video is fucked.
Thanks Liam - there is one compressor issue I need to fix on the VO that folks like Dan noticed, but the title cards are just white text with composite difference to negative out whatever layer they're on top of. It's a super easy and clean effect to apply
@@Mordrukk666 I think I do know the opacity option you used. It was a simple and tasteful choice 🙂
Been playing Freelancer for a while but this video still taught me new things, thank you!
Holy shit that emetic gas grenade in briefcase strategy is brilliant. Thanks!
That tipps and tricks are also very usefull in GENERAL playing Hitman campaigns! Especially that 3 wall and 2 door "exploids" where you can easy detonate explosives and so on - also knowing WHICH GLASS is bullet proof and which not can safe your "perfect shooter" so - that fire cracker trick with oil cannister trap is a life saver!!! So looting this precious chests with gear on maps and KNOWING where they might be can help a lot ... same goes for knowing the best disguise for each specific area... some maps have a freaking awsome disguise which brings you everywhere ... guard outfits per se: you can wear a silenced assault rifle or any gun on your back visible even a security guard in Miami (which are normally not running with Assaults!) are totally fine... for Showdowns: you can be in TRESPASSING AREAS totally chilly if no normal enforcers are there the suspects are only enforcers if its an alerted showdown... Assassins are never enforcers! Thats my 2cents as well as for push kills: if you want to push a guard over a ledge or window and you don't have coins? place a GUN: it works the same way as shown in this video! I am a veteran player of Hitman and hard boiled by many fails of Freelancer so i know my tricks ... and yes if the HEAT is on: if you created a safe space maybe with only 1 entrance for guards rushing you - i hope you have stocked up on bullets :-) it helps - i cleared in the attic of Paris almost all guards of the map because i messed up and killing guards is free so feel free to kill as many treads if necessary ;-) FOX OUT
It's good to see someone else who's played for 23 years. I also think I'm one of the few people that liked Absolution
Because I'm so addicted to freelance, it's helped me to understand the maps better. Still learning a lot.
Overall, Freelancer is a *fantastic* game mode. Still, gonna vent a little: I don't like the Perfect Shooter objective.
I don't take issue with having to never miss. The problem is that if you have it and want to complete it, you can only shoot NPCs and nothing else.
No cameras.
No security stations.
No oil drums.
If a single shotgun pellet misses your target, you lose it.
Apparently it's a bug, but still: if a sniper shot goes through your target and hits the environment, you can lose it.
No chandelier chains or other accident items.
That last one is even more restrictive because not every chandelier has a winch and many of them don't. Also if you don't have/can't find/can't afford the proper tools to create spills/leaks on the map without shooting, you can't do the accident kill you want. I just think a lot of the current restrictions for Perfect Shooter are unnecessary. There are quite a few non-NPC items on the map that you benefit from shooting at.
I've achieved the objective a few times before writing this, but in case anyone wants to argue "skill issue", I urge them to think of it this way: imagine you pistol-sniped a chandelier chain from across the map, through a window, and it lands perfectly on your target and no one else. A perfect, clean accident with an insane shot that nets you Silent Assassin.
But now Freelancer thinks your aim is dogshit because you didn't shoot an NPC, and takes off Perfect Shooter from your score. That's why it gets to me. It's the principle of it!
This is such an underrated video. It's got so much usefull information and the dude goes straight to the point. Thanks man!
Just started playing freelancer I had no clue about it until I updated my game and opened it a couple days ago. Veteran player and tbh I think this is one of the best additions to HItman yet.
Great tips! I started playing with this release. LOVE the freelance mode after I beat the campaigns. But man is it brutal. Propane is my go to collateral accident kill but I need to experiment with these great canister ideas.
Great video thanks.
Thrilled to hear that you have been playing hitman for 2x years, I myself have been playing for 14 years and I am also super happy with the Freelancer mode, I just wish there was a Restart button
An easy way to have a briefcase is to bring the car battery from the garage. I pretty much always grab the wrench and battery from in there on my way out. Easy accident kills when you overflow a sink and drop that car battery on em.
I almost never comment on a RUclips video, but I will do here. This was a very very helpful video straight to the point. Thank you very much.
Biggest thing that helped me was not getting greedy, especially in the beginning.
I swear, they add couriers who are designed to be impossible, walking back and forth through a crowded room. I'll usually try for the safe and any couriers who isolate themselves, but keep my eyes on the target and focus on couriers if the dealer has something I need.
And Colorado is fun, if you play it kinda slow, but one time I got a suit only complication and had a good laugh.
Shooting a wrench to create a spark is wild. It's crazy they added such a small detail into the game, yet you can still shoot someone in the leg and they drown the moment their face touches the water. What will or won't work in this game, and what will or won't kill a person, is often hilarious.
Best and most objective guide ever! Thanks a lot!
Blood money theme in new Hitman… the best Hitman music + the best Hitman game
Been playing Hitman games since the very beginning yet I suck at freelancer. That being said its the best Hitman experience I ever had ❤
That “Breaching Charge” cheese is super helpful! 😊
To anyone who wants to bring a briefcase with them into a mission, but wants it without a large weapon, use driftwood. You can get it every run, it weighs nothing, making it perfect if you want to pull off the emetic briefcase trick.
Exactly! And it doesn't take a single item spot unlike the car battery or other big items found in the safehouse!
Hey man, awesome video. It's written and organized incredibly well, great job!
Ummm this is the BEST video on tips for Freelancer mode. God bless you.
Great video but you don’t have to use an item that sparks to light fires, you can just shoot the puddle itself.
Shooting the oil spill doesn't always work for me, though it could be a bug on PC. Either way, shooting a metal object will always create a spark
@@Mordrukk666 I’ve heard it has to do with the floor material so yeah a metal object is a guarantee. Are objects 100% metal or non metal or are they non metal where is makes sense. For example. Does shooting a screwdriver handle not create sparks but shooting the shaft do?
@@Sp0ttheCat1701 that's a good point about the material of the floor - shooting soil and grass shouldn't make a spark, but I'm not sure what material is guaranteed to do so other than possibly asphalt. And I'll have to experiment with the screwdriver - that'd be wild if shooting the shaft creates sparks but the handle does not
I’ve been playing hitman for years and I never knew about the shooting a wrench to create a spark. Def using that trick tomorrow
I've been playing Hitman since Silent Assassin and thought I was good, but this mode has been tearing me apart. Thanks for the tips.
I got the reboot for free a few years back on ps plus, had some fun with it, then I maxed out Hawkes Bay when they released that. I went into Freelancer without playing any of the missions in 3, and I love it.
your voice cracking up at 6:04 really got me bahaha
The transition from SA only to freelancer was astonishing to me 😂
Damn the trick with placing a coin is unebelivable,they just can't resist those little coins,they're just so beautiful 🤣
Bro was so calm the whole time the ending had me shook 😂
I was lost all gear when i play last and say fuck this shit ..but now you make me play again this mode like this sometimes make you bad mood but after you play again and make happy
Well said
I've been playing hitman since blood money on the ps2 all the way up to freelancer on the xbox series s (shouldve bought the x) but i gotta say thanks for the video, always love learning new ways to play,
One good tip, maybe a lot of people know, if u dont want to lose everything when u die, at the moment u get discovered and being shot, close game on the deskop and u can reload before the mission started with all the items. If u die on the mission, whatever if u pause and close the game it will save automatically, so close the game before u die. PC only
Mendoza is the absolute best level for showdowns.
Most of the time you spawn in the cave where you get the "skeleton key" disguise right away and literally everything is accessible then and there. Not to mention you have an incomparable line of sight to all the suspects at once, so if you're lazy, you can just mark 3-4 top suspects and most likely be able to take them out from the game's original spawn point in a few seconds.
Vet. This is my favorite video game franchise
Lots of comments mentioning New York and the Mercers + shotgun in the vault. It's worth raiding the safe deposit boxes as well. There are two melee items that always spawn (Burial Knife which is epic and another one that I can't remember the name of that's legendary), as well as lethal poison, chloroform, and a package bomb.
If you play it safe and prepare methodically, the basement guard room is probably the best meeting ambush spot in the game. You can only poison the vents once though, so you need to kill or KO the guards there some other way and hide their bodies first. Then once the meeting happens, you can easily KO everyone with the chloroform. Or just lethally poison them if you don't care about collateral. I personally like to opt for Whittleton, Dubai, or Miami for showdowns, but that's as much because I just like those maps and know them very well as anything else.
Additional tip that I just learnt today. I assumed that tasers would behave like tasers in real life and just knockout people, no. They kill, and what's more, it's considered an accident kill - amazing for doing hardcore silent assassin.
Thank you so much for these tips, I often struggle in this new mode
I started playing a while after hitman 2 came out but I think freelancer mode is so cool and from my experience there’s 3 types of players: those that prefer to grind a level and follow a set path until the finally achieve their goal and feel super accomplished or those that are a bit less dedicated and prefer to just plan on the go and play as it is and then you have the very small amount of people that only play the campaign for the story and not really much else aside from maybe the sniper missions
I actually like doing freelamcer in Colorado so long as I don't have suit only objectives. The point man is the only disguise in the game that lets you walk around armed with a sniper rifle.
Showdowns I absolutely avoid places like Bangkok and Marrakesh as you can't always get lines out of sight in the densely packed crowds.
Showdown locations I like are New York and Dubai as they have civilian disguises that have large unrestricted access like the Job Applicant and Penthouse staff.
The reason for civilian disguises is a stage that is alerted have more enforcers that see through guard disguises, most the time they will not see through non-guard disguises.
New York is also a good place to raid the vault for Merces.
My personal tip
Pretty new so may not be a good idea but if you get the chance to get an emetic tranq gun, take it. Its helped me in so many scenarios to take out an annoying target
basically:
if a campaign has colorado on it,
AVOID IT...
fantastic video! absolutely agreed. also, I do love the bank in new york. i take it every time i can. also, i think colorado is really really fun when it pairs with objectives to kill guards. i love mowing down all the enemies on the map, especially because there are several different disguises. After my massacre i can change and go find the target :)
7:29 ayy thats me! Also bring the Sieker when theres an objective stating Poision the target, just dart one and you know if or not its them
Ha! Excellent name and good tip, too
Also I want to say that you are supposed to catch every stuff to fit the stillage. For example the police baton appears in Paris, New York and Hokkaido. It's easy to take it and you will not need to buy it or get it as a reward. Guardians in Dubai equipped with silenced Shashka or silenced SMG
im loving freelancer but the ah you didnt make it? guess all your tools just vanished. kinda hurts (especially the sedating guns). thanks for the tips
your voice is so calming
I'm a Payday 2 (stealth) player but Freelancer looks like a ton of fun. I didn't play the vanilla Hitman games too much because I found them a bit too scripted and repetitive. But this rouge-like house-building thing is really good so...
@swampexpertextraordinaire6896 After watching hitman speedruns, it's clear how scripted it is. You could play just by looking at the timer. If you load up a level multiple times and record it, then overlap the videos, there's no difference 99% of the time. You can shoot down a chandelier at exactly X seconds and it's guarenteed elimination. You can camp spawn with a sniper and shoot a window at X seconds to take the racecar out. It's crazy.
As a veteran i appreciate the music in the background, ioi needs to put something similar in freelancer also we should be able to customize 47's suits.
Thanks for the guide. So far I haven't played it much (first because it only works one time out of 20 when I open the game mode) and because it gives me so much anxiety to possibly lose all my gear, the alt+F4 thing might have just solved that though.
yeah man, freelance mode is awesome
i wish more games would have that mode
Slipping on a banana is an accident, many people think IO switched the banana up but no, there is just one rule they added. If a personal guard sees an accident happen, they will confirm that it was not an accident. For personal guards it’s still okay to see the aftermath and it’s only not an accident if they see the accident happen in front of them.
Great video, loved the use of Blood Money music too, best OST in my opinion, although Silent Assassin is a close second
Thought I was a veteran till I tried this mode now I'm a newbie 😂😂
great vid, learned a couple of things myself! one thing I would like to say about the snipers is that most of them (minus a couple that I've used, but can't remember which ones) have really long briefcase load/unload animations that are not cancellable- there's been a couple of times where guards have run up on me after I got a quick sniper shot off and tried to stow it away. idk if that's a new addition or not since I only used the sieger ghost pre-freelancer (which had quick animations) but def something to watch out for as a newer player
I just got hitman and I can’t beat a showdown for my life. This really helped!! 😁
Loveee this mode.
thx for the cheese advice. wont do that unless i have a lot of stuff. is hitman 4 coming out? i wish they did vr good. and had a game for quest 2.
This is going to save my campaign I think, thank you for the fantastic tips!!
Also your voice is very nice to listen to just fyi
There's a minor glitch I've encountered with closing and opening the game, any time an objective is completed (like destroying a surveillance system) you keep the XP from completing that objective even without completing the mission so theoretically you could just restart the same mission and never complete it for easy XP
Yep, though it's less of a glitch and just more how the game works at an API level. When you complete an objective, that XP is queued up server-side, and then it's added to your overall XP when the round is complete. It doesn't account for rounds that were alt+f4'd since using that trick breaks the game's lifecycle hooks (the queued XP won't be cleared via onExit() or onQuit() as usual), so it just remains server-side and continues to accumulate as you try the round again.
In theory, someone could play the same round over and over again, but considering you'll need to complete around 575 contracts to hit level 100, that seems kind of pointless and the opposite of fun
playing old school hitman music in the background just makes freelancer hit harder.
The Jesper Kyd soundtracks for the early games really elevated the atmosphere and made them more memorable than they would have been otherwise. Even 20 years later, these songs still slap!
At 7:44 whats the name of the suit you used ?
i've been trying to get it
It's the Golden Contender Suit, and it unlocks at Freelancer level 35
I remember buying and playing the very first Hitman game way back in 2001. I still haven't finished all missions on that one. 😂
I was once on the final target of a mission, done everything perfectly, collected the Couriers, all crates, all objectives... And the final thing to do was to kill the last target with a sniper riffle, which I had on a suitcase and on a good spot to kill the target... I started to collect the sniper from the suitcase but I noticed some guards coming towards me, I freaked out and I dropped the rifle, but it felt on the water as I was on the edge of a pier in that Island with the secret society... OMG I was sooooooo pissed at myself lol...
Thank you so so so so much!!! I really needed these! :)
amazing video and a beautiful calming voice
I accidentally discovered that closing the app does not take your stuff away after I had the dumbest death I have had in a Hitman game. Also, I hate New York.
Best tips video out there thanks
really good video and some cool tips I didn't know!
Should you play through Hitman before starting with Freelancer? So that you know the maps and places better? Because I haven't played the story for a long time. I would be very happy about an answer
Yes, play through the campaign and memorize as much as you can about each location. Freelancer is basically endgame content, so you'll want to jump in after the campaign
@@Mordrukk666 I've already played through the story but that was just too long ago. Thank you very much for the quick reply
Something I didn't realize until today is that a concussive grenade will set off a propane canister resulting in a lethal explosion.
The remote breaching charge is also useful for safely setting off propane canisters while retaining the accident kill status.
One thing I learned from this mode is, the more you succeed, the more you have to lose later.I like the thumbnail pic.
Say anything..... ANYTHING goes bad, in a single instant you lose 500K cause of 1 fail.Work of over 10 hours goes down the drain for a single mistake in a single moment.
I swear, this mode is self destructive.
Yo, do you know anything about that outstanding service coin in the Freelancer boxes?
I've seen a lot of discussion about it on the subreddit. Someone found a typo for it within the game's item JSON, suggesting that typo is what's preventing it from appearing in-game. Another thread mentioned this tweet ( twitter.com/Hitman/status/1632722514022473729?t=hZ7tgicedj7T8ufQKDSvew&s=19 ) which insinuates IOI is aware of the fact that no one can find it. So either no one has found it yet and it's extremely well hidden, or it's simply bugged and will hopefully be fixed in the next patch
@@Mordrukk666 ok, thanks for the news
im a veteran but freelancer was really hard for me at first. But once i concentrated and only played when i had a lot of time I got much better.
Have you tried Hardcore Mode yet? lol..... Try it and then see if you still like it. I'm also a Hitman veteran, and I struggle to find this mode fun at all. It's not really all that hard, just a bit time consuming. Some moments are kinda fun at times because of the unpredictability of your next planned strategy, but a lot of the mode is sadly ruined by idiotic and pointless objectives that make no sense or just add frustration and tedium to the entire experience. I just wish side objectives weren't so stupid and lame and pointless. Most of the missions that I end up failing are because I'm attempting to perform some kind of stupid side objective that ends up resulting in me getting caught.... And the side objective was completely pointless and useless to my strategy to begin with. I hate it lol. Mode needs some work to be fun. For now, it's just repetitive tedious chore work trash that forces you to question your entire life up to that point whenever you fail a mission because you thought that was a remote explosive but instead it was a proximity explosive because the mines both look almost completely identical to one another in your mission inventory slot..... and lose all your cool stuff.
great video, however i would like to add marrakesh into the list of maps to avoid if possible, solely because of the possibility of spawning in the school which is a stupid death pit
The surest way to make (or at least never lose) Merces is to Alt+F4 right after you go to the Vault after a mission, check the stock market and realize you lost Merces.
So many good tips I never knew
