Also coming on May 11th are new challenges for the HITMAN community. First up is the Boom Beats Blah challenge, this tasks players to take out Craig Black with an explosion while he is reading. Completing the challenge will reward players with the infamous Exploding Pen.
What will explode shortly after being thrown, but is also sharp enough to kill on impact? The exploding Pen, that’s what.
Another challenge for players is within the HITMAN Freelancer mode. The challenge known as, The HITMAN, requires players to complete a Freelancer campaign with the Hardcore Mode Enabled. When you’re successful, you’ll unlock The Black Bruiser Suit. Good luck and stay frosty!
Possibly the most appropriate suit to wear after a full hardcore campaign.
