Learn how to punch, stun, disarm, and hide bodies in Hitman: Blood Money. Master accidents and understand the impact on your rating.
This section covers essential combat and stealth mechanics in Hitman: Blood Money, including unarmed combat, body disposal, and accident kills. Understanding these actions is crucial for maintaining a high rating and successfully completing missions.
Walkthrough
- 1Punching and Stunning: When unarmed, approach an NPC and use the Fire Button to punch them. This usually involves a headbutt followed by a flurry of punches. Use this as a last resort, as facing the victim makes them a Witness and lowers your rating. If attacking from behind, you might stun the victim, leaving them temporarily incapacitated but still standing.
- 2Disarming: Approach an NPC carrying a weapon and use the Fire Button to grab their weapon and strike them. Be aware that disarming often causes a discharge, attracting attention. A disarmed Guard will act like a Civilian, potentially running or surrendering, though they might pick up another weapon.
- 3Hiding Bodies: After incapacitating or killing an NPC, hide the body unless in an isolated area. Use the 'Drag Body' prompt to move the body to a suitable location. Containers like Crates, Trash Dumpsters, and Freezers can be used to hide bodies out of sight.
- 4Twirling Bodies: To position a body precisely, spin in place while carrying it. This allows for more controlled placement before dropping the body.
- 5Found Bodies: If a body is discovered, your Threat Meter will turn yellow, increasing Guard suspicion. Guards will attempt to bag and move the body to a secluded area. If the body is found after an 'Accident', the Guards may not become as suspicious, and your rating may not be affected. At higher difficulties, found bodies negatively impact your rating, except in cases of accidents.
- 6Accidents: Accidents offer a way to eliminate targets without directly harming your rating if the body is found.
- 7Pushing: Get directly behind an NPC and press 'Y' to push them over a railing or down stairs. Ensure you are close enough to avoid stunning them instead.
- 8Dropping Objects: Place an RU-AP Mine on a Winch holding a large object. Detonate the mine to destroy the Winch, causing the object to fall and kill the victim below. This is considered an accident, and even if the body is found, your rating will not be penalized.
Tips
- Throwing bodies over railings is possible in the Reprisal version by knocking them out first, then grabbing and throwing the body. On other versions, this could be done directly.
- Accidents are the safest way to eliminate targets if their bodies are likely to be discovered, as they do not incur rating penalties.
