CLOSE COMBAT
Small, lightweight, and easily concealable, close
combat weapons such as knives and the fiber wire
allow near silent kills. They have their drawbacks
though, so are only used by the real professionals.
Note: When approaching a target from behind,
make sure Hitman is in Sneak mode so as not to
alert the intended target.
SNIPER RIFLES
Highly accurate and extremely powerful, the
sniper rifle is the definitive long-range weapon.
When its used in the hands of a skilled
professional, targets can be eliminated in a split
second. Positioning, patience and a steady hand
are pre-requisites for the sniper’s role. Note: You
can crouch to reduce the bob effect on the
sniper scope. You can also press in and hold the
right thumbstick to activate Precise Aiming.
This will increase your accuracy by slowing
down your movement.
SUB-MACHINEGUNS (SMG)
Only just concealable, the sub-machineguns are
perfect for fierce fire fights. Be warned though,
a high rate of fire can leave Hitman with an
empty clip and no more ammo.
SHOTGUNS
The shotgun can have a devastating effect at
close range but accuracy and damage are
severely reduced over longer distances.
HANDGUNS
Lightweight and easily concealable, the pistols and
revolvers are perfect for close-up kills although they
make a lot of noise unless silenced. In a tight situation,
Hitman can always rely on the dual Silverballers for
the extra firepower.
BINOCULARS
An excellent tool for
spotting targets and
planning safe routes
through the missions.
RIFLES
Large and precise, the rifles are best used over distance.
Hitman is only capable of carrying one rifle at time
and this cannot be concealed.
MAP
An essential piece of equipment if you are to
find your way around. The map displays all
information available on the level and allows
precision planning and execution of a hit.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
The high-tech solution to
darkness, although your field
of view can be severely
impaired.
SPECIAL ITEMS
The Agency will provide you with a range
of special items such as car bombs for use
on certain missions.
