Distract the Enemy with Coins for Hitman 3

Distract the Enemy with Coins

At the start of each level in Hitman 3 you will find three silver coins under the 'Distractions' tab which can be thrown to create an audible distraction. If an NPC hears the sound, they will investigate the area where the coin lands and pick it up when found. While the NPC is searching for the source of the sound, you will be able to slip by undetected. These coins can also be placed on a surface which will attract an NPC's attention if it is close enough to them and lies within their line of sight. You can find more coins throughout the level which you can use. It is possible to use other throwable items to lure targets, but using the coin is the best way because it is so subtle it doesn't draw unwanted attention.

To use a coin as a distraction, you first need to select it from your inventory. To do that, use the left or right d-pad button on your controller to cycle through the items you have on you, and then press the X/A button to equip it.
