Tips & Tricks

Save Often

The autosave feature in Hitman 2 is not particularly good so it is advised that you manually save often, especially before key moves. That way if things start to go terribly wrong you will at least have a save state to fall back on.

Explore the Maps

Whenever you load into a new area it is advised that before you start the mission you first scout and explore the map. This means walking around the whole of the map making a note of where the mission starts and where the exit points are. You will also earn bonus XP for discovering locations which makes this worth doing.

Security Checkpoints

There are certain levels such as Mumbai and Miami where carrying a concealed weapon is not a good tactic as you will need to get through security checkpoints. In these instances it is advised that you use stashes to put weapons inside areas that you will be infiltrating anyway. Bathrooms are always good.

Blend in with Crowds

In Hitman 2 you are able to bend in with crowds, make sure you use this ability to your advantage.

Carry a Lockpick

Always make sure you carry a lockpick as it allows you to open containers, break into buildings, and cut through shortcuts. Makes sure you always carry it with you and take advantage of it whenever possible.

Hide Bodies

It is advised that whenever possible you find the time to hide dead bodies, even if you think nobody will find them.

Hiding in Foilage

In Hitman 2 you can still hide in foilage without being seen but in this game you will be heard if you move quickly in it. You won't be spotted but any nearby characters will be alerted of your presence and turn in your direction.

Briefcase

The breifcases which hasn't been seen in a Hitman game since 2012 has been brought back by popular demand. You can use it to smuggle items, stow weapons or as a weapon itself. Check out the video below to see how it can be used.
