Hitman 3 only released this week, and already we’re seeing players absolutely crushing its first level completion time.
If you’ve looked at the leaderboards since the game’s official release, you’ll know that some enterprising players are already crushing the game’s six levels, but Dubai in particular seems to be attracting particularly quick attempts.
Currently, the completion of the world record for level stands at a frankly puzzling nine seconds. New! Verified by speedrun.com (via PCGamesN), two speedrunners completed the any% category for On Top of the World in less than 10 seconds.
Wreak and Der_Lauch_Linus manage to achieve the remarkable feat by shooting the two targets you need to complete the level as soon as they appear at the start of the mission.
With a sufficiently far-sighted hand, you can enter the level, climb the entrance hall steps into the Scepter (where the level is set), and shoot the two targets as they mingle with their contemporaries and trading partners.
Maybe the interesting part of the feat is how the any% category is still not absolutely perfect: watching the videos embedded on this page, you will see the two runners trying to reduce their race time by making sure their initial blade is aligned. perfectly.
If you’re thinking, ‘well, they’re not doing it right because they don’t have the rank of silent assassin,’ we have disturbing news for you. According to Speedrun.com, the same tier Silent Assassin category was beaten in frankly ridiculous 17 seconds.
Hitman 3 received good reviews from critics, with VG247’s Alex Donaldson calling it “a fitting finale to one of the best trilogies in the game.”
