Hitman Absolution - the 5 best game tips

Hitman Absolution attracts gamers to the console with a gripping story and cinematic action. You can read the best tips for the third-person shooter in this article.

Tip 1: Let opponents live

• Hitman's rating system tracks each of your steps and scores them with points or deductions.
• If you switch off opponents unnoticed from behind, make sure that you only keep them still instead of breaking your neck.
• The latter is faster, but costs you several points deduction. If you want to score, try to avoid killing.

Tip 2: Alternative methods of liquidation

• In Hitman Absolution there are always several ways to fulfill your task or to switch off the target person.
• The pulsing rings in the area mark things that you should look at for a point-rich kill.
• Of course, you can quickly and easily get the target out of the way with a sniper rifle, but that won't get you many points. So keep an eye out for alternatives, such as poison for eating the target.

Tip 3: Explore the world of Hitman

• You shouldn't rush into anything in Hitman Absolution. Always explore the area extensively at the start of each mission.
• In addition to useful weapons such as knives or mines, you can also find hiding places such as cupboards or garbage cans that you might find useful afterwards.
• So remember exactly where you found a hiding place. If you hide there while fleeing, the opponents will quickly let you go. Often you can also find ventilation shafts through which you can crawl and avoid danger spots.

Tip 4: The right camouflage

• It is also important to explore the area thoroughly - this is the only way you can decide how or what you best dress up as.
• Some characters, such as police officers in the police station, are more common than others. You should always wear a disguise that is seldom worn by other characters to avoid a possible exposure of your camouflage.

Tip 5: remove traces

• Always remove your traces - especially the lifeless bodies of your opponents. In addition, it is not advisable to generate pools of blood, but rather to strangle your virtual opponents.
• Parapets, railings, cupboards and dumpsters offer space to make a virtual corpse disappear.
• In an emergency, you can join in to hide. But whether dead or alive, there is never more than two people in a hiding place in Hitman Absolution.
