Hitman 3 All Shortcuts Locations

Hitman 3 has 17 Shortcut Locations across its six maps. Finding 15 shortcuts unlocks the Shortcut Killer trophy or achievement. This guide shows the locations of all Shortcuts in Hitman 3.

Very likely, you will see the locked shortcuts from the inaccessible side when you first approach them. They are either ladders / fire escapes, which have to be lowered down, or doors which are blocked from the other side. Some shortcuts require a Crowbar to be opened.

Once opened, they will be available for you on later playthroughs.
