History Awesome / Hitman3

* The very premise is that 47 is up against a small army of ICA agents hunting him. [[VideoGame/HitmanAbsolution It's happened once before]] but it's an even more deadly game of cat and mouse as these bother with stealth.

** [[https://youtu.be/oCv4ESV3PtI?t=211 Some well placed explosives can effectively kill most of the group in one shot,]] leaving only Agent Montgomery to be dealt with by other means.

* The entire purpose of the mission is 47 sending a message to the ICA about what happens if they come after him. Sure enough, after 47 kills 5 agents, their Handler will immediately order them to evacuate since she refuses to lose anyone else. Message received.

-->'''ICA Handler''': ''(fighting back tears)'' [[{{Touche}} Expertly done, 47.]] Expertly ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' done.
* In ''VideoGame/Hitman2016'', Diana told 47 that an ICA assassin is always the most dangerous person in the room. Here, 47 proves that that one assassin is very specifically ''him'' even in a room full of such assassins by infiltrating the nightclub and expertly taking them out. The mission isn't called "Apex Predator" for nothing.

* A undisguised 47 is perfectly capable of walk through the secure ICA facility's front door and leak the ICA files undetected while engage in a delicate dance of stealth with the roaming guards that will shoot on sight. As a reward for pulling off the heist undisguised, [[RefugeInAudacity 47 can escape by the front door while freely mingle with the crowd of ICA employees gathering there in the ensuing security lockdown since everyone are too stunned by the data breach to even recognize him]].
* The contents in the leaked ICA files in itself is awesome as 47 gets treated to a ContinuityCavalcade of almost every target he's killed in the course of the trilogy; including the ''2016'' Elusive Targets!

* This level also allows you to pick off any and all Providence members that are on the train as you want without much of a penalty, meaning if you know what you're doing, you can kill everyone that's between you and Arthur.
** Or alternatively, you can sneak past everyone that's in the train cars, and disconnect the cars once you reach Arthur's cabin.

* And then there's dealing with Edwards. He tries to bargain with 47 by giving him the memory erasure serum, telling him to embrace his old self again. 47 refuses and Edwards [[FaceDeathWithDignity accepts his coming death]], saying [[TemptingFate he'll die knowing who he is.]] You could just kill him... Or you can inject Edwards with the same memory erasure serum he tried to give you as a form of CruelMercy.

* As a result, this is one of the few levels in the entire game where [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1vLbySEvkM you can choose not to kill anyone, as shown in this playthrough]].

* After leaking the ICA files, the facility will go into lockdown and almost every guard will shoot 47 on sight, forcing 47 to engage in a delicate dance of timing and stealth gameplay to escape. When 47 escapes, [[RefugeInAudacity 47 can freely mingle with the crowd of ICA employees gathering near the front door due to the lockdown since everyone are too stunned by the data breach to even recognize him]].

* The end of the mission is that 47 just flat out scares the ICA handler into calling the hit off.

* Though he never gets around to actually solving the murder mystery, Phineas Whitmer, the real detective hired to solve the case of Zachary's death, comes close to doing so. He takes note of the odd resemblance that Emma possesses to Montgomery, and is able to deduce that Mr. Fernsby had previously burned something (in this case Zachary's diary), something which catches the normally unflappable butler [[NotSoStoic off-guard.]] Furthermore, judging by NPC conversations in the following levels, Whitmer actually DOES manage to solve the mystery, although what conclusion he reached is left unclear.
* Lucas Grey performs a HeroicSacrifice to make sure 47 isn't taken out by the Constant's team of killers. 47 has ''already'' infiltrated the group but there's too many to fight and it would be suicide to have him reveal himself. It's also not a SenselessSacrifice because 47 is one of the rare video game protagonists who is ''not'' a OneManArmy (or at least not one that can do so without proper preparation).

* 47 resisting Hush’s mind experiment and frying the bastard’s brain.
* After leaking the ICA files, the facility will go into lockdown and almost every guard will shoot 47 on sight. On the one hand, 47 will have to engage in a delicate dance of timing and slaughter before in all likelihood shooting his way out. On the other hand, ''47 will engage in a delicate dance of timing and slaughter before in all likelihood shooting his way out.''
** Even better, if timed properly, an undisguised 47 can just walk through the heavily guarded facility’s front door, leak the files, then walk back out the front door ''without anyone noticing''. By the end of the heist, [[RefugeInAudacity 47 can freely mingle with the crowd of ICA employees gathering near the front door due to the lockdown since everyone are too stunned by the data breach to even recognize him]].

* Under normal circumstances, 47 will kill half the active agents and panic the rest into an evacuation. But with multiple knockouts, strategic concealment of bodies, and a lot of patience and strategy, ''[[https://youtu.be/ULwHURzzPoA every single agent]]'' can be disposed of -- eleven in one night is something even a master assassin can take pride in.
