Part 19

Learn how to use weapons, disguises, and environmental hazards for silent takedowns and accidental kills in Hitman World of Assassination. Become a master assassin!

Alright, Agent, let's talk about how to really make your mark in Hitman World of Assassination. This section is all about understanding the tools and techniques you have at your disposal, from how you carry weapons to how you can use the environment to your advantage.

You'll notice a Visibly Armed notification by the Weapon Icon in the lower right corner when you're holding a weapon openly. This is your cue that walking around a crowded room with something like a Kitchen Knife will quickly draw suspicion. However, some weapons are considered non-threatening. You can carry these openly without attracting attention. The ones that fit this bill are:

• Scissors
• Screwdriver
• Hammer

Now, your Disguise plays a huge role, especially with bladed weapons. For instance, wearing a Guard Disguise might let you carry a Kitchen Knife openly, but the same knife will cause problems if you're wearing a different outfit. Always consider your disguise before brandishing a weapon!

Let's dive into different types of kills:

• Throw Kills: With many weapons, you can perform throw kills. Hold down the Aim button to see the throw arc, then aim for the head – you'll see a red target mark when it's properly aimed. Use the Throw Button to launch the weapon for a kill. You can also knock someone out first and then perform a throw kill on their unconscious body.
• Throw Stuns: This is similar to a throw kill but uses non-lethal items like a Wrench. It's perfect for knocking people out from a distance without raising alarms.
• Elimination: When you have a pistol drawn, you can perform an Elimination. Sneak up behind your target, grab their mouth with one hand, and fire two quick shots into their back. This is obviously best done with silenced pistols.
• Pushing and Pulling: Near railings and windows, you can push victims over for an accident kill. If you're outside a window or grabbing a ledge, you can pull people over. Be careful though: if the window or railing is at ground level, you'll just pacify them instead of killing them.

Cover

When you're crouched behind something like a counter, a large object, or even a doorway, you can go into cover. This presses you against the object, making you much harder to spot. Depending on what you're hiding behind, you might even be able to vault over it. And remember, if there's someone on the other side of that counter or doorway, you can pull them over and subdue or kill them!

Accidents

Setting up accidents is a fantastic way to eliminate targets without raising suspicion. Keep an eye on your surroundings; you'll find plenty of objects you can use to stage
