GETTING INTO the GAME

Before embarking on a career as a Hitman, you must first prepare a profile.
The profile keeps a record of your progress and preferences, along with
weaponry choices, funds and other equipment and items you acquire.

From the PROFILE MANAGER screen, choose CREATE PROFILE and enter
a name for the profile. If you have a previously created profile, you can
select this to resume the career. You can also delete profiles you no
longer want.

PROFILE MANAGEMENT

Once you’ve created a profile, you will then choose a difficulty level:

• ROOKIE For the inexperienced, and those new to the world
of the assassin. There are no limitations on how many
saves you can make while attempting a mission.

• NORMAL Suitable for those comfortable with contract killing.
Each mission allows seven saves.

• EXPERT For the practiced and experienced. Only three saves
per mission are permitted.

• PROFESSIONAL For the true professional only. No saves are permitted
once a mission is in progress.

DIFFICULTY

This manual provides insight into the mind and practices of the professional
Hitman. This manual refers to the Hitman as “the professional.” It explores
the complexities, skills and the intricacies with which “the professional”
conducts his craft.

The professional techniques outlined in this manual vary in complexity,
and are graded by difficulty to execute using the following ranking system:

ANONYMITY, THE DISGUISE OF THE PROFESSIONAL

Longevity in the profession is dependent on transparency in the world.
The professional seeks solace in a world where the only way to carry out
this sort of work is with anonymity.

• The professional avoids the blood bath wherever possible, as this
attracts the unwanted eyes of the law or multiple witnesses and an audit
trail to his door.

• If a witness lives, the professional’s notoriety increases. The professional
negates this by making sure he is not discovered on a job, and that no
witnesses or clues are left on the scene.

• When the professional takes civilian lives, the invariable result is taped
TV footage and witnesses at the scene of the crime. When this happens,
the professional gains notoriety. As notoriety increases, the ease with
which the professional can carry out his next contract decreases.

• For further insurance against discovery in areas covered by TV cameras,
the professional can make sure to destroy all video-surveillance tapes.

• The professional can assess his successfulness and his notoriety
following a contract through the media. If there have been witnesses, the
newspaper is his best way of finding out. The professional should look
out for newspapers while on location. These may detail previous targets
and missions, and may even give a clue to the professional’s identity.

NOTORIETY

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

CLOSE COMBAT

The professional uses close hand combat skills to eliminate the mark
with minimum noise and when dealing with unforeseen circumstances.
The majority of these skills are ideal in firearm-restricted areas.

HEAD USE

Use the left analog
stick to position
yourself in front of
the victim, then press
the

r

button to

head butt your target.

THE PUNCH

While the victim is
dazed, use the left
analog stick to
position yourself in
front of your target,
then press the

r

button to punch.

DISARMING

Use the left analog
stick to position
yourself in front
of the armed victim,
then press the

r

button to disarm
the person.

Note: During the struggle, it’s possible that the firearm will go off accidentally.

CONCEALING WEAPONS

Whenever possible,
the professional
carries out his work
using tools that can
be concealed on his
person. He has a
number of tools at his disposal that, when concealed, can go undetected
in most public areas.

Use the left analog stick to walk toward the mark, hold the

s

button to

access the inventory and then select a firearm. Press the

r

button

to discharge the firearm, then tap the

s

button to holster and conceal it.

FIBER WIRE

The fiber wire is the
most difficult of your
weapons to use
but the easiest to
conceal. It is also
the quietest and most
efficient tool to use to avoid raising an alarm.

Select the fiber wire from inventory, then press and hold the

r

button
to tighten the fiber wire and automatically enter sneak mode. Use the left
analog stick to maneuver behind the mark, then release the

r

button

to strangle the victim.

Note: If you are spotted or you fail to execute this move in one fluid movement, your
intended victim may become alerted, and attempt to raise an alarm or attack!
