In Hitman 3, IO Interactive decided to remove the ICA Electrocution Phone because it was absurdly overpowered. Allegedly, it make Elusive Targets an absolute cakewalk (I actually didn’t start playing the Hitman games until Hitman 3 came out, so I have to take the community’s word for this one).
However, there’s a new king in town, my friends, and it’s the Remote Emetic Gas Device. This thing is absolutely bonkers. What makes it so absurd is that you can put it in a briefcase while still holding the detonator. Then, you can either leave it in an inconspicuous area where you know your target will eventually be, or just carry the briefcase and walk up behind your target and trigger the detonation. For some reason, Agent 47 is immune to this stuff.
In case you want to see it in action, I managed to dig up this tutorial video on how to use it:
Pretty cool, right?
Now, if you want to actually use this device, you’ll need to unlock it by ranking up the Haven Island map, which is actually DLC for Hitman 2. That means you’ll have to import Hitman 2 and its DLC into Hitman 3 to get access to this overpowered gadget. Thankfully, once you do that, you’ll only have to rank the map up to Level 5.
As a side note, if you want a fully searchable list of every unlock in the entire World of Assassination trilogy, I’ve made one. Go check that out for a universe of unlockable goodness.
Now, if you have a veritable arsenal of gadgets at your disposal (I certainly do at this point), the Remote Emetic Gas Device can be a little tricky to find. It’s actually filed under Tools (instead of Explosives or Distractions, which are the other places you might look for it), so you’ll want to check that section of your inventory.
Anyway, once you unlock this puppy, you’re in for a world of fun. This this is incredibly entertaining to use, and all you really need is close proximity to a bathroom to rack up some really easy Silent Assassin kills. Just follow your target into the bathroom and drown them in the toilet. It’s so easy, but so satisfying.
Silent Assassin? More like Silent-but-Deadly Assassin, amirite?
