Hitman 3: What Are Shortcuts?

Shortcuts in Hitman 3 are golden doors, ladders, or vents that you'll find in key locations around each map. Doors can only be opened from one side, while ladders will need to be unfurled and often require a Crowbar to do so. Once unlocked they will remain permanently open through subsequent playthroughs, allowing for quicker access to pivotal parts of the map.
