Part 37

Master the Sniper Assassin mode in Hitman World of Assassination with this guide covering body-piercing, wall-piercing, and shockwave ammo types, plus essential rifle upgrades for faster reloads, fire rate, and precision.

This section details the ammunition types and rifle upgrades available in the Sniper Assassin mode of Hitman World of Assassination. This mode, which has since been removed in Hitman 3, featured cooperative play or random matchmaking, with the primary goal being to eliminate all Targets to earn a specific Accomplishment. Communication with random partners was a significant challenge.

Ammo Types:

1. Body-Piercing Ammo: A standard bullet type capable of shooting through multiple targets. Magazines start with five rounds and can be upgraded to nine, offering unlimited ammunition.
2. Wall-Piercing Ammo: A special bullet type that can penetrate certain walls and objects. Magazines start with four rounds and can be upgraded to six. Ammunition is limited once the magazine is empty.
3. Shockwave: A special bullet type that explodes on contact, functioning like a grenade. It's effective for eliminating Targets that attempt to flee by detonating near them, and can also be used to move bodies into hiding spots. Magazines start with four rounds and can be upgraded to six. Ammunition is limited once the magazine is empty.

Rifle Upgrades:

• Flared Magwell: Speeds up reloading, with four upgrade levels.
• Straight Pull Bolt: Increases the rifle's fire rate, with four upgrade levels.
• Rifle Precision: Enhances the slow-down time when using the Marksman feature, with two upgrade levels.
• Steady Scope: Improves the stability of the rifle when aiming through the scope.
• Padded Stock: Reduces recoil when firing.
• Extended Versatile Scope: Adds a 4x scope to the rifle.

General Tips:

• Familiarize yourself with enemy movement patterns, as these missions differ from Main Story chapters.
• Prioritize completing smaller Challenges early to increase your score multiplier, saving tougher ones for when your rifle is significantly upgraded.
• Master the Marksman feature (holding the trigger halfway) for aiming and shooting at distant objects to improve accuracy.
• When using Marksman, be mindful of Instinct button placement. Consider using a back button attachment on your controller to assign Instinct for easier access.

Accomplishments: The guide also notes that Accomplishments (known as Trophies on PlayStation) for Hitman 2 are listed per chapter.
