Hitman 3: Berlin guide -- Apex Predator mission

After playing Hitman 3's Dubai and Dartmoor levels, Berlin will feel like a total departure from what you've gotten used to. I'll explain more in our guide for the "Apex Predator" mission. Note: For more information, check out our Hitman 3 guides and features hub. Likewise, please be reminded that this guide contains major spoilers. You have been warned. Hitman 3: Berlin and "Apex Predator" guide The reason Hitman 3's Berlin level feels different isn't just because there's no mission story whatsoever, but it's also due to your targets. Ready for the spoiler? There are 11 in total and all of them are ICA agents. Also, almost all of them are wearing disguises; they'll spot you if you get too close and you won't even know that they're your foes They're roaming around Berlin's Club Hölle and its nearby power plant and factory. As such, the entire "Apex Predator" mission does feel very confusing due to the level's layout and the number of targets. Don't worry, though, because you only need to kill five ICA agents (pick anyone you want) so you can escape the area. Anyway, because this Hitman 3 mission is structured differently, I've slightly modified the guide with sections pertaining to a specific ICA agent and related challenges: Berlin level mastery unlocks and general tips Agent Price - I also mention a few tips and various ways to get inside Club Hölle at the start of the level. Agent Swan - Includes "The Swan Song," "Spree Party," and "Juiced Up." Swan drops an electronic key hacker, and there are nearby poisons and disguises to help you out. Agent Davenport - Includes "The Rookie," "Suck A Bag of Bricks," and "Versatile Assassin: Hold My Hair." Davenport drops a lockpick. Agent Green - Includes "The Scout." Green's location is also where you can find a crowbar. Green drops the radio tower key. Agent Thames - Includes "The Professional," "Crane Trauma," and "Versatile Assassin: Someone Could Hurt Themselves." Agent Banner and Agent Montgomery - Includes "The Wall," "The Leader," and "How the Turntables." Agent Chamberlin - Includes "The Joker" and "Whiteout." Agent Lowenthal - Includes "The Englishman" and Delivery Guy ("Wurst") challenges. Agent Rhodes - Includes "The Veteran" and "Paging Dr. Greenthumb." Agent Tremaine - Includes "The Sniper" and "The 47th Trick in the Book." I also discuss how to complete the "Rule of Threes" assassination challenge. Agent Montgomery and multiple targets - Includes "The Leader," "The Club Owner," "There was a Firefight," and "Drive it Home." This is also a guaranteed way to eliminate multiple agents in Club Hölle. There's even a way to cheese "Drive it Home," an assassination challenge that requires you to bring down three ICA agents while they're evacuating. Other challenges in Berlin - I've included other challenges such as those involving the Scrap Sword, Concrete Ornithology, Florida Man, the Drug Dealer, and more. Note 1: Agents Chamberlin, Banner, and Thames often follow their squad leader, Montgomery, when he confronts you during "There Was A Firefight," and you might want to do that instead of trying to kill them while they're alone. Note 2: If you're trying to do "Rule of Threes" and "Drive It Home," I suggest subduing some of the agents first (especially those who are patrolling open areas). Note 3: Lastly, for the other kill-types related to Versatile Assassin, you'll need to bring the correct items with you (i.e., garrote wire or lethal poison). If you spot any agent, simply perform the required assassination method to get these tallies completed. Berlin level mastery unlocks Let's discuss the mastery unlocks and some general tips for Hitman 3's Berlin level. Initially, the hostile ICA agents appear as white pips on your minimap (just like other guards or potential hostiles). But, if you hear them speak into their earpiece, they'll be permanently marked with a red crosshair. Also, I would suggest incapacitating some of them (if they're in a secluded location). If these agents are subdued, you might be able to cheese a particular assassination challenge. Berlin Mastery Unlocks Mastery Level Reward Type 2 Entrance Staff Room ICA Remote Micro Tester Stash (large) Remote taser 3 Club Entrance Starting location (Club Patron disguise) 4 Projection Bar Stash (small) 5 ICA Remote Explosive Mk III Explosive item 6 Projection Bar Starting location (Club Bartender) 7 Basement Toilet Custom 5mm DTI Stash (small) Pistol 8 Radio Tower Starting location 9 Biker Garage Stash (small) 10 Lethal Poison Vial Poison item 11 Chill Out Starting location (Club Security) 12 Chill-Out Staff Trainer Stash (briefcase) 13 Flash Grenade Mk III Explosive item 14 Skylight Access Stash (briefcase) 15 Lethal Syringe Mk III Poison item 16 DJ Booth Starting location (DJ) 17 Overpass Stash (briefcase) 18 Biker Hangout Starting location (Biker) 19 Basement Boiler Room Stash (briefcase) 20 Number Six with Gloves Remote Explosive Devil Rubber Duck Suit Explosive item Anyway, let's talk about starting the level itself. It's time to take out Agent Price and enter Club Hölle. Agent Price and chilling in the club From the gas station, head to the car that veered off the road. Grab the knife from the dead agent. Continue onward and you'll pass the radio tower, but you can't climb it just yet. After a short cutscene, you'll see Hitman 3's Berlin level in all its dingy glory. Oh, and Agent Price is also here. Take him out. Pick up the silenced pistol, knife, and earpiece. Now, you'll be able to listen in on the ICA's plans. Note 1: After killing Agent Price, check the targets tab. You'll notice that he's not listed at all. That's totally fine since he still counts as part of the tally. Remember that you only need to eliminate five ICA agents to finish the level. Note 2: If you want to make "Rule of Threes" and "Drive it Home" easier, I suggest just subduing him. You can help find the "medicine pills" for a fella named Ziegler and he'll help you get in the club via the main entrance. For the purpose of this guide, though, we'll just ignore him. Instead, head to the eastern outskirts. Pick up the coin and use it to distract the guard. Hide her body quickly then continue north past the drainage area. You should see another guard that you can subdue. Dump her body and pick up the staff key. In the next room, grab the coin on the floor and take the guard disguise from the locker. All right, let's continue onward and eliminate Agent Swan. Agent Swan For this part, I'm assuming you followed the steps when exploring Club Hölle. You should be in the wardrobe area, so let's continue. Exit north past the wardrobe area then make a right. You should see a rainbow-painted shed with the "Staff Only" sign. Inside, you'll find the bartender disguise and emetic rat poison. Head outside the shed and it's very likely that you'll spot Agent Swan dressed like he's on vacation. Important save: There are a few ways to eliminate him. The first is by subduing him and dragging his body to the corner (there's also a coin here). Just cross your fingers that other NPCs won't notice you. When you reach the back corner, dump his body in the murky water. This also completes the "Spree Party" assassination challenge. Don't forget to loot the keycard hacker to help you with exploration. An alternative is to make your way past him until you see the Juice Bar. Head to the left side and enter it (make sure you're still dressed as a bartender). Important save: Wait for Swan to get close. Then, serve him some juice. This completes the "Juiced Up" feats challenge. He's still hale and hearty, though, so you might want to add some flavor (namely emetic poison). Alternatively, put lethal poison if you have a vial already to get a poison kill. Swan will start puking, so follow him to the nearby portalet. You can drown him here. Note: The reason you'd want to save beforehand is because you might lack emetic poison (or lethal poison) later. It's something you want to use against Agent Davenport, the dude we'll take care of next. Agent Davenport Let's say you've already dealt with Agent Swan. Well, it's time to handle Agent Davenport. Assuming you only served regular juice to Swan, you should still have some emetic or lethal poison with you. Anyway, remember this spot near the rainbow shed, the open area where folks are partying? Make your way here. Agent Davenport usually patrols the area from the Red Toilets to Chill Out. Eventually, he'll arrive here and he'll drink from the cup. Make sure you've already put poison in it. He could either die immediately, or you can follow him to the toilets to drown him. Don't forget to take the lockpick to help you with exploration. Oh, and before I forget, it's also possible to climb to the roof of the structure (where Agent Green is). Once Davenport exits the club to go out for a drink, you can kick the bag of bricks to crush him. You'll also complete a unique assassination challenge, "Suck a Bag of Bricks." Anyway, let's talk about Agent Green. Agent Green From the Chill Out lounge, try to find a lone club security guard (the guys wearing vests). There should be one near the lounge itself. Try to subdue that guard (use coins to distract him if you have to), then take his disguise. Next, head back to the wardrobe area and keep going south. You'll eventually notice a gold door (the Entrance Backdoor shortcut). Climb the stairwell that's next to it. On this roof deck, make sure you pick up the crowbar (which will be very handy for unlocking other shortcuts like the skylight one nearby). Then, climb the metal stairs to the next landing. Incapacitate the guard that's relaxing here. Agent Green is patrolling this area, but he probably hasn't noticed you yet. Note: You can drop the bag of bricks on top of Agent Davenport when he walks outside to complete a unique assassination challenge. As long as the previous guard's down for the count (and his body's hidden), you're free to take care of Agent Green as you see fit. Don't forget to take the radio tower key from his body. Okay, it's time to finish off Agent Thames. Agent Thames Agent Thames is all the way at the northwest edge of the map. He's patrolling the construction site between the club and the biker hangout/factory. There are several ways to take him out. It's even possible to go to the walkway connecting the two facilities, find the bag of bricks, and drop it on him as he's moving around. This will complete the "Suck a Bag of Bricks" assassination challenge. You could also just drop a gigantic concrete cylinder on him. The latter lets you complete "Crane Trauma," but you do need a Fuse Cell first. You'll find one in the garbage bin opposite the crane (seen in the image above). The bin is near two guards who are chatting. Place the fuse cell inside the crane's panel and it'll light up, causing Agent Thames to investigate. Quickly climb the ladder and activate the mechanism to drop all that concrete on the poor fella. All right, let's talk about eliminating Agent Banner and Agent Montgomery and completing "How The Turntables." Agent Banner and Agent Montgomery (How The Turntables) Let's take out these two agents at the same time. We'll even complete "How The Turntables," an assassination challenge in Hitman 3's Berlin level. Also, please be reminded that you can kill Montgomery, Banner, and other agents if you do the "There Was A Firefight" challenge. You won't be able to do that and "How The Turntables" without reloading a save. Anyway, head to to level -1 of the club. Montgomery and Banner are patrolling this area. You'll notice two technicians who are chatting next to the Light Tree Installation. There's also a Technician's Note #1 intel file here. Grab the screwdriver at the opposite end of the corridor, then use it to short circuit the panel. Make sure that both technicians aren't looking and that you book it outta that spot after you're done sabotaging the equipment. Next, drop down to level -2 and enter the DJ area. Try to distract one of the DJs so you can grab his disguise. Pick up the Technician's Note #2 intel file and dismiss the DJ who's in charge of the rave party. Press "G" to hype up the light show and wait for both Banner and Montgomery to stand near the tree. It can take a while, so be patient. When they're in position, press "E" to overload the tree to electrocute the two of them. Don't forget to go back to the walkway so you can pick up the loot. Montgomery has the club keycard and Banner drops a lethal poison syringe. Okay, let's talk about Agent Chamberlin now. Agent Chamberlin Agent Chamberlin is patrolling level -2 of the Berlin nightclub. He goes back and forth the dance floor and the security room (which is where you can wipe camera footage in case you were spotted). You can sabotage the wires and water dispenser to electrocute him, or you can distract him so he heads to the bathroom where he can be silently assassinated. There's a related feats challenge called "Whiteout" and it requires you to envelop him in a cloud of cocaine. While the cocaine brick can be found in the Biker Hangout where Agent Lowenthal is, I haven't figured out how to actually trigger this challenge for Agent Chamberlin. It seems to hint at using a ventilation shaft or control panel. Anyway, let's talk about Agent Lowenthal and the pizza delivery guy. Agent Lowenthal and delivering pizza to the bikers Remember the Juice Bar where you can serve a drink to Agent Swan? The pizza delivery guy's right here. When he goes to the yard for a smoke, drop him and take his clothes and scooter key. Next, pass through the gate and you'll see the parked scooter in front of the entrance to the Biker Hangout. Ring the doorbell and one of the bikers will tell you to open the scooter's container. Do just that. He'll grab the food, so let him take it to his mates (one of whom is Agent Lowenthal). If you add poison in the food before the biker takes it, Lowenthal will be in for a world of hurt once he starts eating. Depending on the poison you used, he'll be dead or he'll feel sick and you just need to follow him to the toilet. Note: These steps complete multiple challenges such as "The Wurst Disguise," "The Wurst Delivery," and "The Wurst Getaway" (if you use the scooter to exfiltrate Hitman 3's Berlin level later). Don't forget to take the motorcycle key on the table as well. You can escape later using the bike and complete "Full Throttle." Note: The motorcycle that you need to use is at the facility's garage. The challenge can sometimes bug out so you might want to have a save handy just in case. Likewise, if you head to the Drug Packaging area while you're on this floor, you can take the bag of cocaine. Anyway, since we're in the Biker Hangout, let's meet Agent Rhodes. Agent Rhodes The Veteran, Agent Rhodes, is in the Biker Hangout (level 1). He patrols the floor, though he often enters the Growing Room that's full of drugs. Here, you should be able to complete "Paging Dr. Greenthumb." Take the emetic rat poison from the shelf inside the Growing Room (the shelf's next to a couple of bikers). Find the sprinkler unit outside the room and put some poison in it. If you use emetic rat poison, the other bikers will simply get sick. If you use lethal poison, those fellas will be dead, too (counting as non-target kills). Activate the device to complete the tally. If you made Rhodes' tummy hurt, he'll go outside. You can safely eliminate him without anyone else noticing. All right, we're done with this dude. Given that we're in the Biker Hangout still, then we could pay a visit to Agent Tremaine. Hitman 3 is available via the Epic Games Store. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
