Hitman Streamer Surprised by Trilogy World Record

For the last five years the Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy has been one of the top examples of stealth action in the modern gaming scene, with plenty of streamers fighting to beat the games as quickly as possible. One Twitch streamer has recently done just that by beating the Hitman 3 Trilogy speedrun World Record.

Hitman 3 allows players to import levels from Hitman 1 and 2 if previously owned, which allows players to attempt a full run of all the levels in whatever playstyle suits them. However, Twitch streamer and speed runner Aspecticor managed to take on the formidable «Silent Assassin, Suit Only» challenges («SA/SO» for short) and narrowly break the pre-existing record with a suitably stunned reaction.

Aspecticor's time to beat was 27 minutes and 56 seconds, which had been set only a week before by another streamer with the handle Razulu. The actual clip showing the record time being surpassed perfectly encapsulates Aspecticor's stunned shock, especially since he had been commenting moments before about enemy AI getting in the way of his attempt. Countless hours of memorization and practice is what allows speed runners to hone their skills. The full run shows Aspecticor testing the game to its limit, as Hitman 3's smallest details are used to allow Agent 47 to exploit gaps in the AI to pull off undetected assassinations.

One of the most recognizable features of any Hitman game is the creative ways that Agent 47 can assassinate targets. The additional «Silent Assassin, Suit Only» challenges require extra criterion to beat the level including never changing uniforms or being spotted by guards. Naturally this limits what players can do in a run where stealth is
