Hitman 3 players have figured out how to beat the Dubai level in record time. PC Gamer spotted two impressive nine-second finishes by Wreak and Der_Lauch_Linus, both of which were recorded on Speedrun.com. They have since been beaten by Goron, who managed to beat the level in eight seconds.
The targets can be taken out at the very beginning of the level. It isn’t clear whether the developer intended this, but it could be an homage to Hideo Kojima. DSOG noted that Metal Gear Solid 3 had such a scenario. Speedruns are nothing new, but it is rare when they’re achieved solely by skill as opposed to a glitch or developer exploit.
