Hitman 3’s Opening level, located in a large tower in Dubai, consists of several floors, rooms and security measures. It is a difficult stage for many players. But if you’re quick, have a steady hand, and have some luck, you can beat the whole thing in about nine seconds.
As noted by PCGamesN, some Hitman speedrunners have already come up with a super fast way to take out both targets in the opening level.
How do you do it? Well, quickly run up the stairs after kicking out in the level, shoot a target on the balcony above it and turn around to shoot the other target, which sits above that target on an even higher balcony. Then turn around and book it at the exit which is just a few feet from the stairs. If you do this fast enough, you can beat the whole level in nine seconds.
According to Speedrun.com, speedrunners Wreak and Der_Lauch_Linus are equal, both complete the level in just nine seconds. Below you can see Wreak’s run.
And in case you’re wondering, the speed run time for completing this level while getting the silent assassin rank is a bit longer. Eight more seconds.

Currently, GuLe holds the world record in that category, using a technique similar to the runs above, but with a sniper. By shooting across the level with a silenced rifle Distract guards and NPCs, giving them a window to take out the targets before the bodies are seen.
In the meantime, I finally beat my first Assassin 3 level with only one grab and sniper rifle. It took me about 20 minutes. And I save a little. Not a world record for me.
