Learn about acquiring ammo, using ICA crates, weapon upgrade tiers, and custom weapons in Hitman: Blood Money. Essential info for Agent 47's arsenal.

This section of the guide covers the various weapons and items available to Agent 47 in Hitman: Blood Money, including how to acquire and manage ammunition, utilize storage crates, and understand the weapon upgrade system.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Starting Missions: Missions typically begin with a cutscene followed by a Mission Briefing, where objectives are outlined.
  2. 2
    Weapons and Items: These are the tools of Agent 47's trade, with many options available.
  3. 3
    Acquiring Ammo: Ammo clips can be found during missions. You can also refill ammo by picking up a weapon of the same type or a weapon from the same class (e.g., TMP and MP5 share ammo). There is no limit to the amount of ammo you can carry.
  4. 4
    ICA Crates, Weapon Crates, and Weapon Boxes:
    • ICA Weapons Crate: Found on the map of every mission, this allows you to store weapons found during a mission to add to your collection. It can also be used to discreetly bring large weapons into a mission.
  5. 5
    Unmarked Weapons Crates: Used to store weapons for your collection but cannot be used to bring in large weapons.
  6. 6
    Weapons Boxes: Usually found in Guard Quarters, these contain weapons to acquire. They have other uses detailed later in the guide.
  7. 7
    Weapon and Item Upgrade Tiers: Certain weapons and standard items can be upgraded. There are five tiers that unlock sequentially as missions are completed. Each item within a tier costs the same amount.
    • Tier 1: Available at the Beginning, Cost: $50,000
  8. 8
    Tier 2: Available After "Curtains Down", Cost: $75,000
  9. 9
    Tier 3: Available After "Flatline", Cost: $100,000
  10. 10
    Tier 4: Available After "The Murder of Crows", Cost: $150,000
  11. 11
    Tier 5: Available After "Death on the Mississippi", Cost: $200,000
  12. 12
    Custom Weapons and Upgrades: The five starting weapons can be upgraded. Purchased upgrades can be unequipped. Custom ammo does not allow for increased ammo by picking up similar weapons. Leaving custom weapons behind incurs a $5,000 retrieval fee per weapon.
Tips
  • Higher difficulty levels result in less money earned per mission.
  • Playing "A Vintage Year" without completing "Death of a Showman" first grants $75,000. Completing "Death of a Showman" first yields more money.
  • ICA Crates are essential for managing large weapons, both for storage and discreet insertion.
  • Be mindful of the retrieval fee for custom weapons left behind.
