Hitman 3’s challenges are some of the best in the entire reboot trilogy. I’ve had loads of fun unlocking them individually as I play through each location. Some are far more complex than others, but each one provides a sense of accomplishment that is never cheap. In this guide, I’ll be covering how to complete the Hitman 3 Coconut Ball Surprise challenge. Load up Berlin and let’s get into it.
How to Complete the Hitman 3 Coconut Ball Surprise Challenge
The first thing you’ll need to do is get inside the club and down to the basement bar. This is easier said than done for some players. However, if you walk around and look for a disguise to take, you should be able to get inside with relative ease. There are also a couple of story missions to follow which will see you enter the club without too much difficulty.
Once you’re inside, you’re heading all the way down. The basement club is the hot and sweaty mass of people and bright lights that you can see in the heart of this mission. It’s wonderful and disgusting all at once.
Now that you’re in here, head to the bar. There’s a coconut behind the bar that you need to grab. Use whatever form of distraction you want to get this. Still, it’s easier if you’re disguised as the right type of NPC. Take this into consideration when choosing a disguise earlier in the location.
The guard or bartender disguises are best.
Drug Dealer
Now it’s time to head into the next room. If you’ve been quick, you should be able to get in here just as the drug dealer is having a conversation with some potential customers. You need his disguise to make this next part as easy as possible. While you can complete the challenge without it, trust me when I say this is the easy route.
Walk up to the drug dealer and tell him you want to buy something from him. This is all he needs to hear to convince him to head to a secluded area with you. Perfect.
Now that you’ve got him on his own, knock him out, hide his body, and take his disguise. This should be pretty easy.
Florida Man
It’s not done yet. Now you need to summon the NPC known as Florida Man. I don’t know why he’s called this, but he is. He’ll show up for the drug dealer, but not for Agent 47. Apparently, he does appear in the crowd regardless of what disguise you’re wearing. I’ve never seen him walking around though, so this is the best tactic.
Once you can see him, find a way to throw the coconut at his head. This will complete the Coconut Ball Surprise challenge. Now you can get on with the rest of the mission and exit to add it to your mastery.
That’s it for this challenge in Hitman 3. Let us know if you’ve ever found Florida Man walking around in the crowd in the comments. We’d love to be able to put together a better strategy than this.
