If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you
experience any of the following while playing a video game – dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle
twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions – IMMEDIATELY
discontinue use and consult a physician before resuming play.

ON-SCREEN DISPLAY

STATISTICS

ON-SCREEN DISPLAY

• HEALTH BAR

This bar shows Hitman’s current
health. Every time Hitman sustains
damage the bar decreases.

If the bar dips to the danger point,
below 25% capacity, it turns red to
alert you to Hitman’s predicament.

NOTE: Damage is location-based.
This means a shot to the head is
almost certain to kill Hitman
while a shot to the arm will not.

• THREAT METER

Displayed next to the Health Bar,
the Threat Meter gives an indication
of the danger Hitman faces.
An increase in movement signifies
an increase in danger. The meter can
alert you to potential problems such
as a failed disguise or Hitman being
spotted in restricted access zones.

• ACTION LIST

This Action List displays a list
of context-sensitive choices.
Use this menu to control
complex interactions in the game
environment. With its options you
can manipulate doors, victims,
vehicles and items.

If only one choice appears on the list,
press the E key to perfor m that
action. If you have multiple choices,
hold down the E key and use
the mouse wheel or the W/S keys
to highlight the option you want.
Release the E key to perform
the selected action.

• WEAPON DISPLAY

Displayed in the bottom right corner
of the screen, the Weapons Display
shows an icon of the currently
equipped weapon.

• AMMO DISPLAY

This is a graphical and numerical
display of the current ammo level
in both the clip currently in the
weapon and the total bullet count
for all remaining clips.

• CROSSHAIRS

The crosshairs represent the exact
point at which Hitman is aiming.
The size of the crosshairs indicates
the accuracy of any shots fired
from the currently equipped weapon.

The larger the crosshairs the wider
the grouping of any shots fired.

• INFORMATION BOX

Useful information and warnings are
displayed here.

STATISTICS

After a successful hit and the
fulfillment of all mission objectives,
a ratings screen is displayed to show
performance levels. The statistics
are presented as a mission and
overall score and give a breakdown
of the stealth and aggression levels
used in the mission.

NOTE: You can earn bonuses
by completing missions with a high
level of professionalism.

TECHNIQUES

WEAPONS

DISGUISES

You can use disguises and costume
changes to throw off pursuers
and gain access to restricted areas.
When you’re wearing a disguise,
it is important that you perform
actions natural to the character
you’re impersonating. Alert guards
and soldiers will notice suspicious
behavior and inconsistent
weapon usage.

SNEAKING

The ability to successfully sneak
through areas undetected is a very
important skill to master. When he’s
moving in Sneak Mode, Hitman’s
movement is completely silent.
With patience and skill it is possible

to sneak through almost any
environment and creep up behind
any enemy. Before entering rooms
that potentially contain a threat,
it is always worth your time to spy
through the keyhole or check your
map for activity.

CLOSE COMBAT
AND SILENT KILLS

Hitman’s most powerful weapons are
also the most difficult to master.
Close combat weapons allow Hitman
to neutralize targets without raising
alarms or creating unwanted noise.

Close combat weapons are most
effective when used from behind
on an unsuspecting enemy. In order
to get close enough to use the
weapons successfully, Hitman must
use sneaking techniques. Once he’s
directly behind an enemy, the fully
charged close combat weapons will
deliver a fatal blow.

Close combat weapons can also
be used in melee attacks but their
effectiveness is seriously reduced.

PISTOLS AND HANDGUNS

Pistols and handguns offer a wide
range of power, capacity and caliber.
Easily concealed and once silenced,
the pistol can be one of the most
effective tools in Hitman’s arsenal.
When used in both hands, pistols
pack a high level of firepower.
Clip capacity and accuracy over
distance are the main drawbacks
for the handgun class.

SUB-MACHINE GUNS (SMGs)

Typically issued to commando forces
in the military, sub-machine guns are
small, lightweight and often use
pistol ammunition. Designed for use

in close quarters, SMGs are often
inaccurate. This is more than
compensated for by their high rate
of fire and maneuverability.

ASSAULT RIFLES

The military-designed assault rifles
were developed for fire support
and combat over distances of up to
300m. The rifle is in its element
when used outdoors and over
distance. Single shot and burst fire
are a necessity if you want to
maintain accuracy.

14 15

WEAPONS

EQUIPMENT

SHOTGUNS

Devastatingly powerful at close
range, the shotgun’s defining
characteristics are having a smooth
bore and firing “shot” from an
explosive cartridge. Designed for
close combat situations, the shotgun
is mainly used by law enforcement
agencies and as a hunting weapon.

MACHINE GUNS

Fully automatic, low-caliber
and capable of rapid fire,
the machine gun is designed
to provide suppressing cover fire
more than aim and accuracy.

SNIPER RIFLES

In the hands of trained professionals,
the sniper rifle is perhaps the most
powerful of all projectile weapons.
Offering precision and accuracy
over long distances, this weapon
can be used to eliminate targets
from a safe position.

The W2000 Sniper Rifle is Hitman’s
rifle of choice and comes silenced
and concealable in its own briefcase.

NOTE: Crouching while aiming
improves the accuracy and reduces
the movement of the rifle
in Hitman’s hands.

BINOCULARS

Excellent for surveillance and spying
on targets from a distance.

MAP

Hitman is equipped with a map
of his surroundings at all times. Using
the map to plan your route can
prevent unwanted surprises and will
often reveal hidden access points.

NIGHT VISION GOGGLES (NVGs)

When worn in a dark environment,
night vision goggles amplify the light
levels, allowing you to navigate
through darkened areas. Normally
confined to military use, the NVGs
will draw suspicion if noticed
by guards or civilians.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Proper planning always increases
the chance of making a successful
hit. Spend time on surveillance
and try changing your approach
if your current plan isn’t working.

• High-caliber ammunition will
penetrate doors and obstacles.

• Sound is Hitman’s friend. Loud
music can often mask the sound
of gunshots, allowing the use
of firearms to go unnoticed.

• Keep your eye on the Threat Meter
when accessing areas that are
out of bounds.

about 90% of the questions we are asked can be found there, so it really is worth the time to take a look!

The second fastest way to get an answer to your question is to email us. (You will find our email submission
forms at our web site.) We typically respond to email queries within 24-48 hours during the business week.
Response times can be considerably longer over the weekend, holidays and immediately after a product
release. It all depends on how many people we have working and how much email is coming in at any one
time, but we do try really hard to get you the right answer as quickly as possible. Weekdays, excluding
holidays, during the hours when the phones are open, we still give email questions our highest priority.

download patches and new enhancements as soon as they become available.
