What is Hunter Hitman?
Hunter Hitman is a top-down stealth action game originally released in January 2023. You control a silent operative armed solely with a knife, tasked with slipping past enemy sightlines to eliminate every guard in an area.

It plays directly in your web browser with nothing to install.

Upgrades and loot boxes
As you clear encounters and eliminate hostiles, you earn coins and unlock loot boxes filled with collectible cards. Gathering 3 of the same card lets you assemble them into a permanent upgrade for your operative, boosting combat effectiveness. Coins earned on successful runs can be traded in the menu for distinct character skins, while daily reward crates give you a consistent way to collect extra cards over time.
Tips and strategy
- Pick off isolated guards first: Attacking a sentry who stands alone prevents nearby allies from noticing the strike.
- Wait for blind spots: Guards turn around along fixed paths, giving you clear openings to strike safely from behind.
- Rally for combo chains: When two enemies stand near one another, eliminate both within seconds to score a combo reward.
- Collect daily bonuses: Logging in daily provides loot boxes that speed up your card upgrades significantly.
- Upgrade whenever possible: Combine 3 duplicate cards as soon as they become available to keep your characters strong.
