How to unlock the Top of the Class achievement in HITMAN - Definitive Guide

The description should be "beat the high score on a contract"

Update : It sounds like my explanation was a bit weird/not complete, please find some clarification below (It sounds that you have to play it 3 times instead of 2) :

It could be done on your own contract by beating your best score. So the trick is :
1st playtrough : You need to create the Contract,
2nd playtrough : Play it slowly to score a low score
3rd playtrough : play it faster to get a better score and pop up the achievement.

I have done it on the first map with the jet fighter :
To create the contract :
1 - Start the contract creation,
2 - Mark up the 1st guard as target
3 - Wait 20 secs
4 - Kill the guard with gun
5 - Escape using the button.
Replay the contract and set a low score :
1 - Start the contract
2 - Kill the guard with gun as soon as you spawn
3 - Wait 10 secs
4 - Escape using the button.

If you do not pop the achievement you havee to replay a 3rd time as below :
Replay the contract and set a high score :
1 - Start the contract
2 - Kill the guard with gun as soon as you spawn
3 - Escape using the button.

As you should be faster, you get higher time bonus therefore you beat your highest/previous score and pop the achievement.

Remark from Megamonkeymania : Replay it as soon as you do your first run to avoid other player to score the high score smile

I don't really know what happened

I had to try this twice, I mark the first guard, kill him, exit

Ok, replay the contract to get the high score, kill the guard real fast and exit but notice "non-target killed"

So I restart the contract again and notice that the objective is to just locate the exit, I run to the car and end mission, get the high score and the achievement

Am I missing something?

I wouldnt make it 2 simple. I made a contract to kill the first guy and between may first and second run through three people had posted the highest possible score. had to make one a little more elaborate.

@ MooMooDairy : It is weird as I cannot leave the level as long as to not have marked one target and killed it.
@ Megamonkeymania : I will update but as you replay it as soon as you finished it you should be the first one (It is published once you finish your first run).

Are you sure that you get higher/highest score on the 2nd time ? They also may have patched it. If it is patched I will update the solution.

This is not patched as it worked for me. You need to create the Contract; play the contract with a low score by waiting, and then replay it faster to get the better score. Just have to hope that you are faster than everyone ;)

I would reword it like InfiniteRefrain said. I got confused because I created it and thought the first time you played it you would get the high score and the achievement. Realized I had to do it like Refrain said and got it first time, though it didn't pop for me. I went in to achievements to realize I got it

Hello Wildwest08, I confirm that it does not work on 1st try. You have to "play" the contract twice.

Nice idea, but incorrectly explained in your solution. You should correct your solution with the steps explained by InfiniteRefrain and wildwest08

Thanks for your comments, I try to improve the solution even if I am 99% sure that you need to play it only twice and not 3 times. I will test it on dummy GT.

It serves no purpose to wait 20 seconds when creating the contract.

You can also fail objectives, be noticed, etc. to keep your initial score low.

I found the best way to get this was to create a simple contract by killing an early appearing npc, and completing the contract.

Next immediately play that contract and do as poorly as possible but still complete it.

Now quit to main menu and go back into the contract ASAP. Your aim is to beat your old score before someone else does and thus getting top of the leaderboard.

Enjoy your trophy!

To get this achievement, you have to beat the high score on a created contract. I guess the "proper" way to do this is from the Main Menu, select contracts using RB, then select a contract and play that one, with a view to getting the high score.

However, the easier (boosting) way to do this is to create your own, play it to set a score and then beat it.

The knack here I found, and different to Polak's is that if you make it too easy, before you get chance to replay it, someone could have beaten it! When I first did this, with the objective to kill the first guard, within 3 mins, 2 other people had played my contract!

What I recommend you do is therefore create a contract that has a bit of difficulty within (but not too hard) - for example, in the palace, I set it as using a melee weapon on a random, who was in the middle of the palace, but obviously I knew the quick way to the weapon and then the target. This way you can play it the first time as fast as possible, but leave a pause before you end the mission (to set a points target), and then replay it, but slightly faster, so as to get a higher score, and as such get the achievement for beating the high score.

By doing it this way, this ensures that if someone loads up your contract in between you doing it, for a couple of minutes they are not going to be 100% sure of the fastest/quickest route to complete the contract, and this should give you enough time to make sure you can beat your own contract. Good luck!

So the easy way to do this is to create your own contract, play it once to deliberately get a poor score, then play it again to get a better score and unlock the achievement.

The simple approach: create a new contract at the ITA training facility, mark the guard patrolling the front entrance (Luca Wood), shoot him in the head, then quit. Save the contract.

Immediately play the contract you created (under "My Contracts"). When it starts, deliberately wait about 30 seconds or so, hiding behind the vehicle, before killing the guard and finishing the level.

Immediately after this is over, replay. This time, kill the guard immediately and exit the level. Your new score should be better than your first one due to the time bonus and you should unlock the achievement.

For this achievement, I would suggest looking for a contract that nobody has played and/or is very easy to complete. The vast majority of them will take place on the ICA Facility and will task you with killing the guard at the front gate however you want.

If, for whatever reason, you are struggling to get this, you can have a friend create a contract and purposely do extremely poorly on it (killing everyone, being seen, etc.) so it is as easy as possible to get the high score.

However you decide to go about this, once you obtain the high score on a contract, the achievement will unlock.

Create your own contract and complete it with the best performance to get more points. And the trophy is yours.

You need to beat your own/someone else's record, that is, you create a contract to fail the first one you come across, pass it a little worse than you can, and then re-pass it with an improved result

The simplest algorithm:
  • We are creating a mission in the MKA Complex.
  • We select the first guard at the gate, mark him and, calling him around the corner with a coin, extinguish him.
  • We complete and save the mission.
First passage: See the point above, then we enter the territory and shoot until we are caught, completing the mission.
Second playthrough: The same thing, but after the kill we don’t shoot ourselves and immediately complete the mission.
