Is there no way to buy a sniper challenge DLC?
Since I have already purchased the base game before, I cannot purchase the elite edition of this game included in the hitman collection. Is there any way to unlock the sniper challenge DLC in this case?

Sniper Challenge isn't a DLC, it's a separate game in your library

It's also only about 5 minutes of content, you aren't missing much,it's just one mission, you shoot a few people the end

Hitman 2 has a much more fleshed out Sniper Assassin mode if you are into that sort of thing

It is a DLC. I know what the game is like, but I just want to complete the entire collection.

It doesn't add on to the game in any way, I own it, I know what it is

It's a separate entry in your library. It even has it's own community hub and forums

https://steamcommunity.com/app/205930/

Half the people who come here asking to buy it already own it and just never looked in their library to see they could install it separately

It was a pre order bonus game you could install before launch of Absolution, after release it comes with certain versions of the game, it's never been sold alone

It's included with the either of the bundles:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/1077/Hitman_Collection/

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4468/HITMAN_Essential_Collection/

You can confirm that here:

It looks like a separate game in the library, but it's the Hitman: Absolution's DLC. When "Hitman: Absolution - Sniper Challenge Unlock" DLC is added to the "Hitman: Absolution" Package, The game "Hitman: Sniper Challenge" is created and seen as another game in the library.

And just to be extra clear, this is what I'm talking about:

https://steamdb.info/app/205930/

That is it's own game

The thing you linked is an unlock permission, that's why it's named "Hitman: Absolution - Sniper Challenge Unlock" the DLC you linked is only the unlock for the actual game, the game "Sniper Challenge" is stand alone and not a DLC

There's no aspect of it that adds to absolution like a normal DLC would, all it does is trigger the stand alone game to be allowed to install

It doesn't just look like a separate game in library, it is a separate game in library

Anyway, I can't get it by buying a Hitman Collection. With Steam excluding the purchase of "Hitman: Absolution(Package)" that I had already purchased "Hitman: Absolution(Game)" before, it seems that "Hitman: Sniper Challenge(Game)" is also excluded. Because Hitman: Absolution(Game) and Hitman: Sniper Challenge(Game) are included in Hitman Absolution(Package) in technical aspects.

Did you buy the bundle? Have you even looked in your library to see if you already own it?

Your private profile stops anyone from being able to look at your situation or make suggestions

I've had this same conversation with like 20 people in the past year and 19 of them already owned it and had never looked for it

I bought the "hitman collection", and there is no "Hitman: Sniper Challenge" on my library definitely. Why? because steam store automatically excludes "Hitman: Absolution"(Package) when I try to buy "Hitman Collection" Bundle, for I have already bought the base game(non elite edition) before in 2013, and steam recognizes it as a duplicate game. You should know the difference of package, game, and DLC.

Then complain to steam, you bought the correct bundle, it should have been included. They already owe it to you.

Could you finally buy the DLC Hitman Sniper Challenge?
I also want to buy it.
In Eneba Page today they send me an email that was available.....but only for a few minutes, now it's again without any existences.
Yo can activate the notification and the Eneba page will alert you.
I hope this comment can help you.
Good luck

Did you even read the thread?

You can view what bundles it's included with on steamdb

https://steamdb.info/app/205930/subs/

If you bought any of those bundles or packages then you own Hitman Sniper Challenge, which is a stand alone game and not a DLC for Absolution.

Your game list is hidden by the way, so no one can view what you own but you, you can change that in edit profile, privacy settings, game details (public)
