This article is about the hideout that appears in Hitman: Contracts. For the hideout in Hitman: Blood Money, see Hideout. |
The Training Area is the training level of Hitman: Contracts. It is Agent 47's hideaway between the assignments, a shooting and combat practice training area, and collected firearms storage.
Description[]
The Training Area is a massive concrete facility in an unknown mountain range. It is a rather dull, featureless structure operated solely for practical purposes.
There is the main hall with collected weapons gun racks in the center, which goes three ways: the Target Shooting Range, the Sniper Shooting Range, and the Sneaking Training.
Target Shooting Range[]
The Target Shooting Range is a shooting target course with 44 targets. It is reminiscent of the shooting range from Hitman: Codename 47's Training. Agent 47 moves through arrow-marked tunnels and shoots targets as they appear. In the end, a message displays the number of targets hit.
Sniper Shooting Range[]
The Sniper Shooting Range is a long tunnel for sniper fire practice, using the collected sniper rifles, with shooting targets located at a variable distance.
Sneaking Training[]

The Sneaking Training is a CQC stealth combat training area. Training Area commandos acting as guards shoot undisguised Agent 47 on sight a little further into the course, and he must use sneaking and disguise in order to complete it.
The course goes as follows: lockpicking a locked tunnel door; sneaking near hostile commandos; knocking out/killing a commando and disguising; jumping between the balconies; sneaky crouching unnoticed. The unfinished part contains: walking through commando guards disguised; getting frisked; turning lights off with the utility box; jumping over the railings and shooting range. The chamber with a utility box and a wooden mockup has two doors leading to rooms full of commandos that cannot be accessed.
If Forty-seven's cover is blown, the commandos, including the ones in locked rooms, will shoot him but deal no damage. The course seems unfinished and cannot be fully completed. Forty-seven has to backtrack his way out.

Notes[]
- The sole NPCs are the commandos who don't speak apart from one acting as a sentry.
- The AUG SMG is the only level-specific weapon apart from the collection ones. It cannot be collected.
- There is only one disguise.
- There is no briefing.
- The commandos can be shot at and (presumably) killed.
Trivia[]
- Sentry Training Area commando says "Ultima avertisment!" - "Final warning!" in Romanian when frisking (with subtitles falsely saying: "I'll need to see some ID, sir.")[1]. This and the mountains seen outside suggest that the level could be located in Romanian part of the Carpathians.
- The commandos' outfit is a recolored generic special forces outfit without a helmet or gas mask. Like every other special forces game NPC, they are also armed with the Austrian AUG SMG.
- Sneaking Training and the overall state of the level makes it feel like it was a last-minute effort to implement a training section into the game.
- There is a Training Area commando outfit outside the map, only accessible if you use the "beam here" cheat. It could have been a critical outfit needed for completion of the Sneaking Course.
The Sniper Shooting Range tunnel is inaccessible, even with cheats.It‘s accessible by using Beam here cheat on the “Upper level” of the Sniper Shooting Range tunnel, but the passageway above the tunnel can not be reached.- Since Agent 47 canonically is in a near-death delirious state in Hitman: Contracts and almost all game missions are flashbacks, the Training Area could be a flashback or a creation of his mind.
- The location resembles the Greenland ICA Facility from HITMAN.
- The loading screen consists of silver-colored Hitman Insignia on grey sand-textured background.
