![]() ![]() Agent 47 means business, and business sometimes means carrying a case to make you look important. Of course, briefcases can also be used to carry other items that may cause suspicion too, and can even be thrown if you want to knock someone down in a comical fashion. ![]() The solution is to carry a sniper rifle in a briefcase. Once you’ve finally gained access to sniper rifles, you’ll find that it’s hard to travel with them without scaring everyone who sees you. Alternatively, if you can locate the central security system you can erase all video evidence there, putting you in the clear. Your silenced pistol is great for the job – just make sure you’re not seen. It’s best, then, if you take them out of action whenever you can. While being recorded by them generally isn’t much of an issue other that it reducing your mission score, if you’re seen doing something illegal by them an alarm will be raised. Taking out targets is one thing, but preventing them from being found before you’ve put good distance between you and them is another. And always try to kill or incapacitate when you’re near items that can be used to store or dump bodies so they’re not found. It’s common sense, isn’t it? Before you set about the act of killing, make sure there are no security cameras waiting to record your actions, or guards that could walk in on you. Be Aware of Your SurroundingsĪlways be aware of your surroundings. Pick up as many handy items as you can when exploring, because you never know when you might need them.

Saying that though, it’s also worth trying to blend into crowds if chaos has ensued. If you manage to blend in before an alarm is raised, you’ll save yourself a world of trouble. If you’ve caught someone’s attention and are worried that your cover is going to be blown, head to the nearest crowd. New to Hitman 2 is the ability to blend into crowds, and it’s a feature that comes in very handy. Also, changing clothes is a great idea when you’re compromised: those pursuing you will lose your trail if your appearance is totally different. If you need to be able to explore an area freely that you’re unable to enter or is classed as trespassing, seek out NPCs in the environment that you can steal clothes from that would make you fit in. Your civvies are fine for walking the streets, for example, but try and enter a guarded area in them and you’re likely to get turned away, or even worse, shot. Success in Hitman 2 largely relies on your ability to not look suspicious. To instigate Mission Stories, you can either find prompts in the environments to start them, or open up the pause menu and choose to follow one of the many Mission Stories available from there.
