Glitch Allows Speedrunners to Complete Hitman 2 in 3 Minutes
Everybody knows that the Hitman series is one where patience is heavily rewarded. It’s for this very reason that some speedrunners of the game watched in awe as one of their own managed to complete the game in just 4 minutes.
One of the Hitman 2: Silent Assassin’s speedrunners named Inkblowout has managed to find a glitch on the save system of the game which allows him to get to the game’s credits in just 3 minutes and 22 seconds.
Those interested in inkblowout’s feat will be able to do so by checking the video linked below:
Now, perhaps I should make a remark that this is an impressive feat in speedrunning. However, I’m pretty sure that the Any% category of speedrun records are going to be filled with cries of foul play since technically it’s not playing the game.
Of course, this won’t impact the actual PRO/SA category of Speedruns as the requirements involve actually playing the game and completing it in Professional Difficulty setting alongside getting the Silent Assassin rank. Which is pretty difficulty to obtain in and of itself.
This glitch apparently also works on Hitman: Contracts as well. So it’s only a matter of time before someone finds out how to glitch this game as well to get the game done quickly in the Any% category.
Of course, the Canadian fellow isn’t going to be someone who just glitched the game to earn recognition. He has enough as is being the second best run in the game on the PRO/SA category with 49 minutes and 45 seconds.
This record is only 20 seconds short of Turkish player Buruk47 which has the record of 49 minutes and 25 seconds. Buruk is also aiming at breaking Inkblowout’s record in the Any% category using this glitch. However, that time is yet to come.

Helldivers 2 Paranoia Peaks: Players are convinced that the Illuminate have already infiltrated our ranks
An incredible number of Helldivers 2 players have bravely fought in the ongoing intergalactic war, protecting Super Earth from the dangers of both Bug and Bot. There have been rumors, though, of a new enemy group operating in the dark, or maybe it’s just the return of an old enemy known as “The Illuminate.” Some people think they might even be here with us already, which is obviously defeatist nonsense.
The Illuminate were an enemy group in the first Helldivers game. They were an ancient, highly powerful alien race that wanted to destroy Super Earth. Everyone knows that they died out a long time ago. They do not exist, just like those harmful but completely false stories of flying bugs (thanks, IGN).
Nevertheless, some Patriots claim to be receiving hits from a “vibrant blue laser,” which some believe has a similar energy signature to rifle weapons that The Illuminate have previously used. They may be exhausted from fighting. It looks pretty different from the red energy weapons that Helldivers and bots use, but there is still not enough visual proof to say for sure.
Also, you probably shouldn’t pay attention to the in-game texts that say the Illuminates have been seen. “Blue beams aren’t real; they can’t hurt you,” is what Super Earth High Command says, and the account Helldivers Alerts (we think the developers run it) gave us a sneak peek at our old enemy.

Have you seen any blue lights flashing for no reason while you were on mission in Helldivers 2? Do you think the Illimunate are already among us, messing with voting boxes and pulling votes? Don’t change your mind about supporting Super Earth in the comments section below.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players
The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.
According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.
It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.
What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.
