I understand the appeal of having all gear, suits, and items available in Hitman 3 (now World of Assassination), especially if you want to play offline without grinding challenges. However, it’s important to be clear about what’s possible—and what isn’t.
Before attempting to unlock anything, you must understand the two distinct "modes" of Hitman 3 (now retroactively branded as Hitman: World of Assassination).
Online Mode: Requires a constant internet connection. Your save file is stored on IOI’s servers. This is where Mastery Levels, Challenge unlocks, Escalation Tracks, Elusive Targets, and the Featured Contracts reward system live.
Offline Mode: Launched by disabling your network adapter or starting the game without signing into your platform’s network (PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live, Steam’s online mode). In this mode, you are given a default loadout on every mission. No custom suits. No lockpicks beyond the basic one. No silenced sniper rifles. No progress saves.
Here is the brutal truth: There is no official “unlock everything” cheat code or toggle for offline play. IO Interactive designed the game to require a server check for every single unlockable item. hitman 3 unlock everything offline
Searching that phrase leads to three types of results:
| Type | Claim | Reality | Risk | |------|-------|---------|------| | Cheat engine tables | “Unlock all gear offline” | Temporarily modifies memory. Works until game restart. Resets completely when you reconnect. | Low to Medium (malware risk, but not usually banned) | | 100% save files | “Replace your save file” | Save file contains no unlocks. Unlocks are server-side. The save file only stores settings, not progression. | Low (just doesn’t work) | | Cracked/pirated versions | “Fully offline with everything unlocked” | Pirated repacks can pre-unlock everything because they emulate server responses. This is the only true “offline all unlocks” method. | High (piracy, no updates, no Elusive Targets, no Freelancer mode, no leaderboards) |
If you fully complete all challenges and reach Mastery Level 20 on every map while connected, you’ll have all items available. Then you can play offline with everything unlocked.
Downside: That’s hundreds of hours of grinding.
Tools like Cheat Engine can force the game to give you all items temporarily. This is a volatile method. I understand the appeal of having all gear,
How it works: You run a script that tells the game’s memory: “Unlock all mastery levels and gear flags.”
The catch: These unlocks rarely persist after restarting the game. Moreover, using Cheat Engine while online is a fast track to being banned from the Ghost Mode (discontinued) or leaderboards. Since Hitman 3 is single-player, IOI rarely bans outright, but they do wipe your leaderboard scores.
There is no in-game cheat code or setting to unlock items offline. The only method to achieve an "everything unlocked" state is to overwrite your local save data with a "100% Completed" save file created by the community.
The Process:
AppData\Local\IO Interactive\Epic\ or \Steam\ depending on the platform).Caveats & Limitations:
On consoles, there is no reliable method to unlock everything offline. Console save files are encrypted and tied to your PSN/Xbox Live profile. Modding requires jailbreaking (which disables online access entirely) or using save-wizard tools, which are often detected. For the vast majority of console players, unlocking everything offline is impossible.
For PC players who want a genuine offline progression system, the community created Peacock (an open-source custom server emulator). Peacock mimics IOI’s servers locally on your PC.
What Peacock offers:
What Peacock does NOT do: Give you everything instantly. You still have to play the game and unlock items legitimately, but you do it entirely offline without contacting IOI’s servers. For players who want the journey of unlocking everything without an internet connection, this is the gold standard.
