Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Assassination 101

So you want to be a hitman. Before you take your first contract, there are things any budding assassin needs to know. First off, a hitman is

not a one-man army. Your job is not to kill everyone in sight, not even every enemy you see. You are being paid to assassinate a specific

target only. Additional casualties, especially unnecessary deaths that could have been avoided, require a bigger cleanup by your

contracting agency. They also decrease your rating as a hitman. Always try to limit your killing to the target and possibly some guards

blocking your access to the target.

This chapter provides all you need to know to become a successful assassin. The first part covers the vital skills you need to operate

successfully and stay alive in the process. The latter part of the chapter goes over the various parts of a mission and what you need to do

during each step. Enough chatter. Let's get down to business—the business of death.

Polishing Your Skills

Ti If you're in disguise, it's best to walk. While it's a

great danger for someone to get a long, close

look at you in disguise, it's worse if they become

suspicious to see you running past and start shooting!

Whether you are an experienced hitman or just getting into the

trade, it is important to make sure you have the skills to do the job.

Let's take a look at each skill and see how they apply to an

assignment.

Crouch

Move Like a Professional

Before we get to the killing, you need to know how to move. You

may have learned to walk as a toddler, but you now need to learn

to move like a professional. Let's go over the types of movement

and when to use them.

Walking

The crouch allows you to

hide behind obstacles

such as crates or low walls.

You can still move while

crouched down, but not

very fast.

Walking is the most

common way to move

about the mission area.

While you don't get

anywhere too fast, you

also don't attract a lot of

attention.

Sneak

Sneak can also be

considered stealth mode.

Press the sneak button and

walk to move about. Your

character takes slow,

deliberate steps. The

advantage of sneaking is

that it makes no noise

whatsoever, so you

can use it to come up

behind someone or sneak

past them.

Strafing

Running

Most of the time, you

should run during a

mission—as long as no one

is around to see you. A

good place is in the sewers.

Running gets you where

you need to go fast. The

drawback to running is that

it is louder than walking

and raises suspicion. If you

don't want people to turn

and look toward you, don't run.

Strafing is a sideways

movement, either left or

right, which can be

combined with the previous

forms of movement.

Strafing allows you to move

to one side or the other

while still facing the same

direction. It is useful during

a firefight—it allows you to

move while still shooting at

your target.

Ti If you get into a shooting match, remember to

strafe—even if you are running. Strafing back

and forth makes you a harder target to hit.

Strafe around corners rather then turning so your weapon

is ready and aimed.

Assassination 101

Press the fire button and

hold it down to get the

fiber wire ready, then

release it when you are

in position right behind

the target.

Lean

If you want to quickly see

around a corner without

exposing your entire body,

try leaning. Hold down the

left or right lean button

and take a peek.

Ti If you are trying to get a high rating for a

mission, choose the fiber wire over a silenced

pistol for making a hit. Since it is more difficult to

use the fiber wire, you will earn a higher rating.

Ti While leaning can be helpful, you usually don't

need it to see around corners. Instead, while in

third-person view, rotate around while hiding

behind a corner and you'll be able to see what's on the

other side.

Anesthetic

Anesthetic works just like

the fiber wire, except that

it knocks out targets

instead of killing them.

When you attack using

anesthetic, press the

button when you want to

attack and then keep

holding it down until your

character releases automat-

ically. The more

anesthetic you use, the longer the target remains knocked out. By

waiting for the automatic release, you ensure that enemy is out for

the mission.

Blades and Other Weapons

Knives can be used to

attack a target from all

aspects instead of only

from behind. When you

use a knife, the target has a

chance to fight back. Keep

up close so guns can't be

pulled on you and keep

stabbing until the enemy

drops. Sneak up behind a

target and slit their throat

for a silent kill.

If you double-tap the lean

button, your character will

do a far-reaching lean

that's great for popping out

from behind a corner and

shooting.

Ti If you're not sure what's on the other side of a

door, look through the keyhole before opening it.

There is nothing worse than picking a lock and

then walking into a room full of enemies who are all ready

to kill you.

Up Close and Personal

Much of your trade relies on getting right next to a target or

opposition and taking it down. Some methods are completely

silent while others generate some sound.

Fiber Wire

There are other types of

close-combat weapons,

including the katana

sword, a scalpel, and even

a fire axe. All require you

to be in close and take

multiple hits for a kill.

Knowing how to use the

fiber wire is part of being

an assassin. It is completely

silent; the target dies

without being able to shoot

at you or sound an alert.

The key is the approach.

You must sneak up on your

target from behind.

Death from Afar

Another of an assassin's necessary skills is sniping. A sniper rifle

can eliminate a target at long range. Because of this, you may not

have to infiltrate a heavily defended area and should have an

easier time escaping. To bring up the sniper scope, press the fire

button. Press the button again to fire the weapon. The scope can

be zoomed in and out.

Pistols do not pack the

punch of a rifle or SMG.

Thus it's important to shoot

for the head so you can kill

with a single shot.

When looking through the

sniper scope, your field of

vision is severely limited;

therefore, keep it at low

magnification to find the

target—then zoom in.

If you are in a fight and

don't have time to aim for

the head, aim for the body

and fire two or three times

to drop the enemy.

Notice that the crosshairs

of the scope move up and

down, especially right after

you switch to scope view.

The motion dies down a

bit the longer you stand

still. To further decrease

the motion, crouch down.

Center the crosshairs at

their highest point in

motion over the target's

head. If you fire a bit early or late, you will still hit the target's

body even if you miss the headshot.

Firepower

You rarely if ever begin a mission with an SMG, rifle, or shotgun.

They cannot be concealed, and usually at the beginning of a

mission you want to blend in and avoid suspicion.

Ti If you can, take a silenced pistol with you on a

mission. They are handy for taking out a nosy

guard who is in your way—especially if he is

facing you, preventing use of the fiber wire. Use the quick

draw from the holster and shoot for the head before the

enemy can shoot back or cry for help.

Ti If you find a good spot for sniping, no one will

see you fire the rifle. After taking the shot, ditch

the rifle and make your escape. You will even be

able to run past guards if you are disguised because they

don't know who fired the shot.

Rifles and SMGs can put

out a lot of lead with their

automatic fire. They are

also more accurate than

pistols at medium range.

Aim for the body and fire a

burst to drop an enemy to

the ground for good.

The Quick Draw

In most missions, you must move about without raising

suspicion. Learn to rely on your pistols to get you out of a mess

or even for a hit.

To conceal a weapon on

your person, press the

holster button. Pressing the

button again pulls out the

last weapon holstered.

Therefore, if you need to

quickly pull out a specific

weapon, bring it out in

advance, then holster it.

It will be ready for a

quick draw.

Shotguns are also useful,

but only at close range.

Because they fire in a

widespread pattern with

lots of buckshot, you can

just aim at a target's body

and fire once for a kill.
