Hitman: 10 Craziest Things Agent 47 Has Ever Done

A man of many talents.

Being the master assassin that he is, Agent 47 has many strings to his bow in order to get the job done. Infiltrated suburban houses and secret laboratories alike, seamlessly blending his way through and using every day objects to execute his target.

All pretty straightforward for the best of the best, right?

Well, how about going that extra mile and taming sea mammals? Perhaps a bit of supernatural strangulation, just to put on the CV? How about "legendary beast summoner" too?

Honestly, if he adds any more strings to that bow he'll be able to play it like a harp.

For all its seriousness and strict stealth playset, the Hitman series has always found new ways to surprise over the last near-twenty years. Whilst you could miss many of these by following the mission structures to a tee, there's always so much crammed in that it's worth exploring.

But for those that have missed them, here are just a handful of some of the weird and wonderful things we can't believe 47's done.

10. Took Out A Suburb As A Clown

Maybe being told to smile too many times is what made him snap...?

Part of being a master assassin, in 47's eyes, is being able to blend into the environment. This often means stealing an array of disguises and suits to get the job done. Also, isn't amazing how they always fit?

A New Life sees 47 infiltrate a suburb to take out a mafia member on witness protection. Now, you could do this in a variety of ways...

You could do it "properly", of course: sneak in, take out your intended targets, leave without a trace. Badabing, etc...

Should you prefer the stealthier, cleaner path... it's much easier as a clown. Seriously, nobody really bothers you, as the entertainer was originally there for a birthday party.

But what makes this even funnier?

You could have the last laugh and make sure there are no witnesses whatsoever... whilst dressed as a clown.

There's just something hilarious about laying waste to a whole host of FBI agents whilst dressed as a mirthless, unhappy looking clown.

Complete with wig and all. Agent 47 is always thorough in his disguises.
