With the Hitman franchise reaching its 21st year, many players are looking back and wanting to either improve or add to their great experiences with Hitman 2. After all, this is an incredibly popular game with an even more popular and talented modding community behind it.
Due to Hitman being so popular, the mods are frequent and often pretty hard to choose from, especially when they all bring something new to the game. So if you're looking for new content, new skins, cleaner gameplay, or some silly additions, look no further than some of the best mods in Hitman 2.
8 Thomas Is Coming To Town
Starting with a rather silly one, the Thomas Is Coming To Town mod is just what players are looking for when they want to spice up the missions without changing too much. After all, this type of mod brings a huge amount of hilarity to games like Skyrim, Resident Evil, and pretty much any horror game, so why not have this legendary train chilling out on the map?
Unfortunately, it doesn't change your target or the Agent into the loved blue train. Instead, it replaces random objects in seven different locations.
- Sapienza (The icon)
- Miami
- Santa Fortuna
- Mumbai
- Isle of Sgail
- New York
- Haven Island
7 UI Toggle
This mod doesn't really require much description. After all, the UI toggle mod kind of speaks for itself, it allows you to toggle and remove aspects of the HUD. That being said, it's a pretty overlooked mod that can really help with immersion, or for those people who get a little distracted and end up losing their target.
Ultimately, this mod allows you to choose what part of the UI will appear on your screen. It helps with immersion as well as getting rid of those aspects you just never use.
6 Playable Stone, Knight, And Lucas Grey
Sometimes, when you're playing Hitman, it can get a little boring playing the same character over and over again. This mod allows you to play as Stone, Knight, and Lucas across all the missions in the game. You can pick the characters before you start the mission but it's worth mentioning that these are treated as disguises so it can be a little debilitating.
Nevertheless, it's pretty fun to mess around with your look as you wipe out the target. Just make sure you read the FAQ's before installing since there are some things you can't do when playing as certain characters. It's also worth noting that this is only available in offline mode.
5 Focus
Much like Watch Dogs and many other games, the ability to 'focus' your weapon is often the difference between getting that kill or alerting dozens of enemies to your location. So the addition of focus to Hitman 2 using this mod will definitely get some players jumping for joy.
This mod essentially adds the focus ability to every weapon you use. It also slows down time, making aiming while on a moving object a little bit easier. Ultimately, this is a quality of life addition to the game and will make it a little easier if you struggle with aiming.
4 Choose Your Own Adventure – Marrakech
Now Hitman 2 has been out for three years, it wouldn't come as a surprise if you've played every mission more than once, so it can often get a little boring just repeating the cycle. After all, there are only so many ways to kill a target. However, this choose your own adventure mod replaces the Guilded Cage mission for a choose your own adventure story that's based in Marrakech.
This is a pretty fun addition where you have to make some tough choices that affect the way the story pans out which can be pretty entertaining and a lovely addition to this popular game. Ultimately it still gives you the same feel as Hitman but with brand new and imaginative gameplay.
3 Special Assignment – Malpractice
It's not a huge change from previous missions but enough has been added from the Special Assignment mod to make it feel like a totally new mission. It's essentially a standard contract but it's in the middle of a pandemic and you have to kill your target with a loud weapon.
Any player looking for a new challenge won't be disappointed with this mod. It's incredibly difficult but unbelievably rewarding when you finally manage to escape.
2 Mission – Target Practice
For most occasions, you get bored of repeating missions a lot quicker than the actual HUD or the look of the game. Luckily countless mods give you new missions and therefore new experiences to try out, master, and have a bit of fun with.
The Target Practice mod is no different. It essentially forces you to kill your first target before finding out who your next one is. That may sound easy but killing four targets without knowing who the next one will be brings a challenge no one is ready for. Just try to not alert anyone, it becomes chaos if you do.
1 The Elusive Four – Contract
The Elusive Four Contract mod feels a lot like the Target Practice mod in the sense that you have to kill four targets. However, they don't show up in your instinct vision which can really up the difficulty level if you're not prepared.
To combat that challenge you get clues to help figure out who the target actually is. It's sort of like a puzzle within the game that you have to do four times. It's undeniably enjoyable, even if it is a little frustrating at times. If you're bored of the content in Hitman 2, this mod is unmissable.
