As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • As with the previous instalments, 47 can get creative with his kills:
    • Electrocuting Marcus Stuyvesant with the Sun exhibit is both this and awesome, as he screams in pain as electricity courses through his body and the lights flicker before going dark.
    • While not gruesome, Alexa Carlisle throwing herself off the balcony is quite shocking, especially if you were leaving the office, plotting your next move, only to be surprised by the kill cam showing her falling. With this being the first deliberate suicide kill (discounting Jorge Franco’s blood cocaine Easter Egg) and Carlisle being a surprisingly layered character, this can strike some guilt into the hearts of players.
    • Burning Imogen Royce alive in the core room.
    • Locking Tamara Vidal in a freezer, pushing her into a shredder or crushing her in the wine crusher. The wine crusher kill in particular leaves no trace of the victim. Once the hydraulic press lifts up, all that's left is blood seeping from the top. A LOT of blood.
  • Berlin has 47 being hunted down by 11 ICA agents. The targets are for once armed and are able to spot 47 through any disguise.
  • Chongqing, while a beautiful night cityscape, has an air of creepiness, with Hush’s sick experiments and the ICA’s schemes lurking underneath the hustle and bustle. 47 can actually run across a homeless man who begs him to “run from the machines”. It's safe to say that Hush deserved to get brain-blasted with his own tech by 47 for all the shit he's done to this city.
    • Inside The Block, five people can be found within test pods, being violently shaken to the point blood is dripping from their nose. While you can sabotage the pods, there's no way of rescuing the people.
  • During the Providence meeting, Don Yates orders that Diana be eliminated. He kills Vidal when she tries to defend Diana, turns the rest of the group against Diana and has her brought up to his office for execution, calmly explaining the alibi to the Heralds and having a drink. This is a surprisingly competent and ruthless move from what seemed to be an Affably Evil pawn.
    • Not that Diana can’t upstage him. If 47 sneaks up in time, Diana will stab Yates while he threatens her and 47 will kill the guards, leaving Yates alone with his two would-be killers. Diana tells Yates that he was right all along and that she would take apart Providence "brick by brick", and orders 47 to finish the job. 47 can choose to shoot Yates in the head or kneel down beside him, pull the dagger out and stab Yates in the neck.
  • Diana’s betrayal of 47 is hard to watch, as she paralyses him with neurotoxin and tells him that she knows he killed her parents.
  • 47's nightmare under the neurotoxin. He watches Viktor Novikov being crushed by stage lights, his dead brother in a casket, the Partners and the rest of the targets he killed in the trilogy staring back at him and the Constant standing in a rapidly rising sea of blood.
  • Should 47 give in to the Constant’s manipulations and take the serum, the screen goea blurry and he collapses on the ground, the Constant sinisterly thanking him as the scene cuts to black. Fast forward and 47 wakes up in a padded room, with the Constant’s voice greeting him the same way Ort-Meyer did.
  • As a side note, the achievement for completing "Untouchable" is literally called Nightmare Fuel.
  • The trailer for Seven Deadly Sins, with Diana's voice, suddenly deep and menacing, encouraging 47 to give into greed.
  • Some of the elusive targets are surprisingly dark:
    • Kody Haynes is an art thief so obsessed with art that he will set out to murder the original owners of paintings that he steals. At the time of the mission, he has infiltrated Thornbridge Manor as a wildlife inspector and then disguises himself as a staff member, flawlessly blending in, and can be overheard ranting about how much he despises Carlisle and can't wait to kill her.
    • Philo Newcombe is a wedding planner whose "CV reads like a Shakespearian tragedy". Often falling in love with one half of a couple, Newcombe will murder their partner to make way for his own romantic overtures, the client being the bride of one of his victims. A photo album shows that he killed at least 6 men and women through a variety of methods, including plane and car crashes, a hunting accident and drowning. At the time of the mission, he’s showing around another couple, clearly enamored with one of them and plotting the death of the other.
      • His scrapbook can be found in his van, filled with photos of his victims and locks of their hair and clothing. Showing it to either of the women will terrify them and they will make up an excuse to leave.
    • Jack Roe is a cannibalistic New Nordic chef who co-operates with embalmer Robert Burk to gain body parts he can use in his cooking. Having built his career pretending to be a Danish chef called "Jakob Ro", Roe accidentally murdered his ex-girlfriend when she threatened to expose him, and used her body in his dish. At the time of the mission, Roe is cooking for an unaware Gregory Carlisle in the hopes of getting his patronage. Diana outright calls Roe and Burk's MO diabolical.
      • Adding to the creepiness, Burk's appearance is unnervingly gaunt, having a prominent underbite, a skeletal face, and darkened eyes.
