There are times where being the best assassin in the world, video games wise, can be tougher than it looks. So why not kick back, relax and listen as I regale you with six Hitman 2 tips that’ll make you a better player. As Agent 47, you’re lethal, but you’ve got other things to worry about. For example, like a ton of enemies swarming your location and smacking the living crap out of you. Trust me, it happens.
For that reason, you’ll need to make sure you know what you’re doing. Of course, I’m certain you already know how, but there’s no harm in knowing more, now is there?
Hitman 2 Tips
Patience is a virtue
Sometimes you can’t help but want to meet your target head-on, but I’d advise against that. There isn’t anything wrong with waiting, especially as waiting can sometimes lead to some fantastic leads. For example, a conveniently-placed handy fish can suddenly appear and you’ll give whoever’s waiting a nice, fishy surprise to the face. Doesn’t that sound grand?
Location, Location, Location…
Getting to know your location can be helpful for a variety of reasons. The more you know your location, the more you’ll be able to plan your way around and hit your targets. As I mentioned previously, be patient as you look around and not only will you discover secrets, but you’ll discover new ways that your location can either help or hinder you.
Starting points are everything, so when you decide to give a mission a repeat, you’ll be able to choose the best place to start thanks to you checking everything out the first time.
Disguises that’ll confuse even your mother
As every Hitman players knows, disguises are key to everything that goes in Hitman. In previous games you’ve been a janitor, waiter and so much more. But what if I told you that, along with grabbing a truly amazing disguise, you could use it to blend in with other upstanding citizens? Not unlike the mechanic in Assassin’s Creed, in Hitman 2 you’ll be able to blend in with others, and with a disguise, that’s just extra security!
Save Yourself!
I know this seems obvious, but I am on my hands and knees, completely begging you to save often. There are times where you think ‘oh I’ve got this’, but then you’re suddenly dead on the floor and everyone’s laughing at you. Or that’s just me. Regardless, if you don’t save you can lose hours of gameplay, and do you really want that to happen?
I hope that’ll be a no.
Stash The Essentials
You may be tempted to bring everything you have with you, but carrying a concealed weapon can actually give you more trouble than it’s worth. So, don’t. Instead, stash weapons in places where you know you’ll be using the weapon later on. This can be in bathrooms, kitchens and everything else. You may not think that’ll really work, but there’s nothing more nice than peeing and realizing your gun is right next to you.
Lockpicks? Best friends
Is there any point of being an assassin without a lockpick? The answer is a complete no. You’ll be able to break intobuildings, cut through shortcuts, and open containers that may help you in the future.
