A modding SDK and mod loader for HITMAN 3.
This is a community-made modding SDK and mod loader for HITMAN 3. Its purpose is to allow users to easily download and use mods, and make the creation of more complex runtime mods easier for developers.
Right now it's at a very early stage, with only a few aspects of the engine exposed, but the plan is to further extend it to support basic entity, AI, and item manipulation.
-
Download the latest version of the mod loader and the mods by going here, and downloading
mod-loader-RelWithDebInfo.zip
andmods-RelWithDebInfo.zip
. These zip files contain the mod loader and a few mods respectively. -
Extract the contents of the
mod-loader-RelWithDebInfo.zip
archive to<drive>:\Path\To\HITMAN3\Retail
, where<drive>:\Path\To\HITMAN3
is the path to your Hitman 3 installation directory. This will be atC:\Program Files\EpicGames\HITMAN3
by default. Make sure that you extract the files in theRetail
folder and not the rootHITMAN3
folder. -
Create a new folder called
mods
inside theRetail
folder you extracted the mod loader to. -
Extract the
.dll
files from themods-RelWithDebInfo.zip
archive to themods
folder you created in the previous step. You can find a description of what each mod does below. -
Run the game like you normally would.
-
When the game opens, you'll see a dialog asking you which mods you'd like to use. Select them and press OK. You might need to restart your game for some of them to work.

There are a few sample mods included in this repository that can be used either as reference or for regular gameplay.
Mod name | Description |
---|---|

SkipIntro | Skips the intro sequence and starts the game directly at the main menu. |
WakingUpNpcs | Makes pacified NPCs wake up after a random interval between 4 and 8 minutes. |
CodeGen | Generates binding code from the embedded engine typeinfo which can be used by tools like ResourceParser. |
CertPinBypass | Disables SSL certificate pinning, allowing the game to connect to any trusted server instead of only IOI's. |

DebugMod | Adds a debug menu to test different SDK functionalities, like 3D rendering and entity information display. |
FreeCam | Adds support for an in-game free camera that works with both KB+M and controllers. Can be toggled either from the SDK menu or by pressing P . For more details on available controls see here. |
