What's the hardest thing you've managed to pull off in any of the Hitman games?
It can be anything. A mission, an escalation, Freelancer, Sniper mission, some amazing luck and skill route, speedrun, some sort of grind, etc. Older games than WOA are fine too
I think the hardest thing for me, that still makes me cringe thinking about it, was to finish a final Freelancer Hardcore Showdown on Hokkaido. I've completed at least 10 full campaigns on Hardcore and nothing to me has been harder.
The difference between standard and Hardcore is astronomical on this map. There are SO many Lookouts, cameras, and extra guards. So many Suspects have Assassins. Even with Civilian disguises, I remember the lookouts making this hell. I wasn't able to find any disguise that had free roaming of the map. Pretty sure even the Director disguise had a lot of enforcers on the top level of the hospital. I was constantly switching disguises and jumping rails and holding Instinct so often.
I don't recall my Prestige Objective because this was months ago, but I'm pretty sure it was a really restrictive one that didn't allow for an explosion and I imagine the target wasn't smoking, drinking or a foodie.
I also don't know the map well enough on a Hardcore Showdown to know if I can get away with any shenanigans without having the Suspects escape. And it's not easy to get around this map if the suspects are alerted and try to escape.
