Trivia[]
- Because this challenge appears on multiple missions, the objectives, location and reward are subject to each mission and progress independently.
- HITMAN™ 2 introduced challenges specific to each difficulty, that would each grant XP however these were deprecated in HITMAN™ III in favor of a tiered reward system for completing certain numbers of challenges.
- Distance is not a factor in acquiring the Sniper Assassin challenge, therefore shooting a target at point blank range with a sniper, even one that has been subdued, also counts.
