The Safehouse is a secret location from which 47 operates as a Freelancer after the events of HITMAN™ III.

The Safehouse is a large building of modernist design and large glass walls, located in a secluded wooded area. It is a "sandbox" level and the central location of Freelancer mode, where 47 plans his missions and stores his weapons and tools. Only the basement can be accessed initially; by ranking up Freelancer Mastery, new areas and customization options become available.

Background

After destroying Providence and exposing the ICA, 47 reconnected with Diana and the pair returned to their former roles as assassin and handler as a way to eliminate the untouchables. 47 and Diana no longer have any ties with the ICA, effectively making them Freelance operatives.

Agent 47 now resides in the Safehouse, using it to train, plan missions and store equipment.

Trivia

• It is currently unexplained how 47 acquired the Safehouse, however, it seems plausible 47 gained access to it sometime after going Freelance with Diana. Diana welcomes him to the safehouse in the introductory video, so it can be surmised that he has never been there before. Alternatively, it could be abandoned property confiscated from either the ICA or Providence after the dissolution of either organization.
• Newspaper articles from Hitman: Blood Money appear in 47’s office in the Safehouse.
• There is an option to make a small tomato garden near the safehouse through customization. This is a clear reference to the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin intro cutscene, where 47 is harvesting tomatoes.
• One of 47's cosmetics for his bedroom is a yellow bird in a rounded cage; this is a reference to the bird he keeps (and sadly, has to kill to keep his cover) throughout Hitman: Blood Money. In addition to appearing in Blood Money's cut scenes, the bird can also be seen in the sandbox level Hideout.
• Another cosmetic that can be unlocked (Deluxe players only) is the black arm chair for the bedroom where 47 sits down, cross his leg and holds the ICA19. This is in reference to the promotional shots of 47 for the 2016 game.
• There's a painting you can unlock at one of the mastery levels that is in reference to the "rats playing poker" Easter Egg from "Curtains Down." The painting is in the style of the various famous (or infamous) kitschy paintings collectively known as "Dogs Playing Poker."
• When you reach mastery level 76 (Deluxe players only), the derelict Church can be accessed through a window in the shed. Upon climbing through the window, a wooden chest can be opened, which is located inside the Church ruins. The chest contains 47’s ICA19 Silverballer, Fiber Wire and what appears to be a black laptop (which can’t be picked up). The black laptop, located inside the wooden chest, is a direct reference to the opening cutscene of Silent Assassin where 47 acquires his laptop to liaise with the ICA about the whereabouts of Emilio Vittorio, who had been kidnapped at the Gontranno Church.
• During the ‘How to Play’ video, which was released prior to Freelancer’s launch by IO Interactive, Easter, Halloween and Christmas decorations are shown as customizable decorations for the Safehouse. These items are currently not an option in the launch version of Freelancer.
