Part 35

Learn how to maximize your score in Hitman World of Assassination by understanding objectives, bonuses like Never Spotted and No Bodies Found, and penalties.

Alright, Agent! Part 35 is all about understanding how those sweet, sweet points stack up after a mission. It's not just about completing objectives; it's about doing it with style and efficiency. Let's break down how the scoring system works so you can aim for that top spot on the leaderboards.

After you wrap up a mission, you'll first see a summary of the Challenges you've knocked out. Then, you'll get to the main score screen. Here, you'll see your Global XP, your Location Mastery, your Mission Rating, how long it took you (Mission Time), and your overall Mission Score. You'll also get to see where you stack up against your friends and the global leaderboards. Finally, there's a percentage showing how much of the mission you've completed.

But wait, there's more! You can dive into another page for a detailed breakdown of your Mission Score. This is where you'll see exactly how you earned your points and what bonuses you snagged (or missed out on).

Mission Score Breakdown

Here’s how the points are awarded:

• Objectives Completed: You get a solid 20,000 points just for finishing the mission. This is automatic, obviously – you can't get a score if you don't complete the main goals.
• Never Spotted: This one's worth another 20,000 points! To get it, you absolutely cannot be spotted by anyone during the mission. Be careful, because even if you kill the person who saw you (unless it's your Target), you'll lose this bonus. Also, cameras are a big no-no. If a camera spots you, you lose the bonus. The good news? You can get it back if you manage to destroy the Security Camera Recorder before the mission ends.
• No Noticed Kills: Another 20,000 points are up for grabs if all your kills are Unnoticed. An Unnoticed Kill means you took out your Target in a quiet spot or made it look like an accident. If you take out your Target in a crowded area or in a way that seems suspicious, it'll count as a Noticed Kill, and you'll miss out on this bonus.
• No Bodies Found: You'll earn 20,000 points if no bodies are discovered. However, accident kills don't count against this bonus. You might still get this bonus even if bodies are found, as long as the kill itself was Unnoticed.
• No Recordings: This bonus also nets you 20,000 points, and it's awarded if you weren't caught on any Security Cameras. Just like with the 'Never Spotted' bonus, if you do get recorded, destroying the Recorder before the mission concludes will restore this bonus.
• Non-Target Kill Penalty: This is where you lose points. For every person you kill who isn't your Target, you'll lose 5,000 points. So, try to keep your eliminations focused!
• Time Bonus: This bonus rewards speed. The faster you complete the mission, the more points you'll rack up. This system is definitely geared towards encouraging speedrunners to blaze through missions as quickly as possible.

A quick note on Tasers and Guards: While Tasers might not be super effective against main story Targets who'll just have guards pick them up, they can be surprisingly useful in Escalation Contracts or Contracts Mode. Why? Because sometimes those Guards themselves become Targets! They'll always pick up a Taser, and it makes getting accident kills much easier.

And about Rapid Elimination Streaks: Some Escalations throw this curveball at you. If you have multiple Targets, you'll need to take out the next one within a specific time after eliminating the previous one. Fail to do so, and the mission is a bust. It really adds a layer of pressure and requires some clever planning!
