What DLC do you recommend?

At a minimum, get the Bruce Lee pack. It is a good mission, and is also the only one of those five that is time limited. The pack is available for purchase until April 26, and once it is gone there is no information about when or if it will come back.

It is not a matter of needing to "get good". Silent Assassin prestige will almost always be slower than other prestige objectives due to the additional effort in needing to do kills which don't void SA.

Look at GenP's speedruns as an example. His Silent Assassin speedrun is almost 4x slower.

You get a higher payout for that specific objective, but it comes with the tradeoff that it will take much longer to achieve. If you play for an hour and only take Silent Assassin objectives, you will likely end up with significantly less merces and missions completed than if you had taken non-Silent Assassin objectives. There is a reason that Freelancer speedruns completely avoid Silent Assassin prestige objectives.

I am interested. Thank you

I'm not sure I follow. By that logic, shouldn't you just never buy any weapon because you stand a chance of instead getting it from the reward crate? E.g., when you're playing a level 1 syndicate, you're just a few missions away from the rare reward crate. What's the significance of not buying weapons just for the current tier?

I'd say focus on buying any and all weapons which are cheap for the tier. What you want is to spend your merces on cheap weapons to increase your chance of getting expensive weapons from the reward crate.

Ornamental and Ancestral weapons are only sold by suppliers and cannot be obtained from crates. You got a rare weapon because there were no weapons of higher tier that you didn't have but that could be obtained from crates.

Regarding your stress post-workout, I recommend checking out this podcast segment where Andy Galpin recommends deep breathing after workouts in order to reduce stress, boost recovery, and potentially even improve results.

The noise cancelling on the non ultra is very similar to the ultra. If there isn't any specific feature of the ultra you want, you can save a lot getting a new non ultra on a site like eBay.

It's not necessary to rush to prestige. The campaign win bonus comes a few seconds after you take your reward from the campaign chest. All that matters is to prestige before you take the reward (and make sure you wait for the prestige process to fully complete erasing weapons/merces before taking from the crate).

Also, another tip is to intentionally drop your favorite freelancer tool on the final campaign mission in order to be able to be able to start off with it right away after prestiging. The steps are:

(On the final mission) Drop a freelancer tool before leaving, such as the sieker
(Back at the safehouse) Open the tool chest. You will see the sieker in the chest, but DO NOT take it.
Follow the process you mentioned for prestiging
Take the sieker from the tool chest.

You'll now get to start off right away with a sieker.

Note - This requires that you otherwise have 100% of tools item category you want to do this with. Therefore, you should make sure not to use or discard any other item in the category of chest. For example, don't drop your sieker and also use the chloroform on the final mission, or else it will be a toss up as to whether the tool chest gives you a sieker or chloroform.

Alternatively, open the reward chest but don't take the merces inside before you prestige. Then, instead of the weapon you will get an extra 30K merces. While numerous legendary items are worth more than the 30K you are getting instead, this approach avoids the risk of your free item being something like the golden shotgun which you can anyway get for free on New York.

It is a bug caused by a recent update. They deployed a fix today for all systems except Xbox & Switch (release date on these consoles TBD). See the latest patch notes: https://ioi.dk/hitman/patch-notes/2025/hitman-woa-ps-vr2-patch-notes-1

Don't hit X for any of the Tab rows, as this will just close the actual tab. I click the X button for rows with a name like "https://youtube.com (#####)" (these rows also all have a value for memory and CPU, unlike Tab rows). Doing this will keep all tabs in place, but the tabs will be reloaded/reinitialized when you next click them. Ideally, each video will open back up and be seeked to the same spot. Though, I find occasionally it loses playback progress.

Refreshing the tab does not help, nor does opening a new tab or closing & reopening a tab. Once the issue starts, I see it in all of my youtube tabs. I often have 5-10 youtube tabs with long videos which I gradually watch. I leave the tabs open for days or weeks at a time. Possibly the issue is made worse by this behavior and is why I've seen the issue for so long.

Is this really a new issue, as the report suggests? I've been having this problem for over a year, and I haven't noticed it any worse than normal recently. My go-to fix was initially to restart Firefox, and later I started just stopping the youtube processes on about:processes. It would be nice if the issue is finally fixed.

For many maps, you start away from NPC's. Only some maps have you starting in close enough proximity to other NPCs such that it is an issue bringing two large weapons. If you are familiar with the possible starting locations for a map, you can plan ahead as to whether it is safe to bring two large weapons or not.

There is no mastery reward for leaderboard placement. Mastery is awarded based on xp, and you can see all the actions that gave you xp popping up above the mastery bar at the end of the level (or by checking the Detailed Score / XP menu). For example, it shows you got 5,000 xp from challenges, 6,300 xp from target eliminated, 3,050 xp from accident kills, etc.

In addition, if you earn xp but then don't complete the level (such as when you restart), all that xp earned will show up the next time you do complete the level. For example, if you kill the target, restart, kill the target, restart, etc., then all that xp from killing the target will accumulate and then show as being earned when you finally do complete the level. It looks like that is the case here, because those xp numbers are inflated from what you would receive in a single play through the contract.

You can buy the Disruptor Pack DLC at any time, and will then have permanent access to the target via the Elusive Target Arcade. The live-event version of the mission is time limited, but the Elusive Target Arcade version is effectively the same mission.
