Hitman 3 now lets you murder people with a banana whenever you like

Hitman’s banana has long been the series’ best weapon, letting you bludgeon enemies or create slippery distractions with the power of potassium. And now, players can add the banana to their permanent loadout, as part of Hitman 3’s October update. Agent 47 can commit manslaughter using a banana any time he’d like!

A video roadmap and a blog post from the developers dig into some of these new additions, meant both to celebrate the month of Halloween, as well as the 20th anniversary of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. Here are the events, challenges, and unlocks that players can expect throughout this spooky month:

The humble ‘nan has always had a lot of great uses. Enemy NPCs won’t find it suspicious that you’re holding it — it is a fruit. But you can set it in enemy pathways to make them slip and fall, or simply lob it at their heads. The fruit spent years as a funny Easter egg, first introduced in Hitman: Absolution, before becoming a placeable or throwable item in Hitman 2. In Hitman 3, players could find it hidden in a few different missions. Now, the banana finally gets pride of place.
