Alternatively, place you weapon in the tourist's suitcase. She'll be hauled off to interrogation and the suitcase placed in the security room near the entrance.
Seriously? I have to try this now.
It's pretty funny to watch the exchange between the guards and the patsy as you march in afterward with a cased sniper rifle.
I've only played that mission once though just because it turned into such a bloodbath. I got spotted by guards too many times and just fought my way through the rest of the mission using their rifles.
One of my tensest moments in the series was, believe it or not, SA. The Kirov park mission, I'd been failing it over and over again, goddamned over reactive AI. The marks would always freak out and run. So I gave up trying to plant the car bomb and oh so slowly worked my way to the sniper tower.
I take aim, first shot kills one of the targets. The general books it, I only have a small gap in the stone wall to hit him before he gets away. First shot misses, second shot misses, 3rd shot..takes him out just before he gets out of range. Of course, now every single guard in the level is out to get my ass.
I run for it, go through the sewers some, then start running along the street. Chased by a good 15 or 20 guards. I've used all my carefully gathered AK ammo, my Silverballers are empty, the 9mm is empty, the only gun I have left is a Desert Eagle. I blast the last few soldiers with a shot each, running backwards towards the exfil point. I run out of ammo, with one left alive. I have so little health left I can't see it on the meter. I'm fucked.
He shoots, and misses, and shoots, and misses. I make it down the staircase to the boat and escape!
christ, death on the mississippi is such a tedious, joyless mission
fuckin paranoid psychic sailors
i beat it with no notoriety gain, but had to ventilate a lot more people than i'd have liked
I enjoy Death on the Mississippi quite a bit, actually. I'm pretty sure it's because it is a variation on the Hitman-typical "you're hunting guests of honor while at a party" level.
Though come to think of it, the Christmas level was like this too, except the partygoers weren't situated in most of 47's high-traffic areas.
Place a RUAP Mine on the window of the Oval Office.
When the Vice President goes into the garden to walk the dogs, he walks over to the Oval Office Window to talk to Parcheezi. Parcheezi moves closer to the window as well. Detonate it right and you can get both of them with a single mine without ever having to do the whole chase/shootout on the roof.
Then simply stroll out in whatever uniform got you to that point, unless the Metal Detector is the part causing you trouble.
That's one way I've never thought of (I mostly use slink through as a Marine Honor Guard, and then SS agent, using the fiber wire and then the scoped rifle at the end--two kills).
It nets you professional, I imagine? Still very efficient though. Can you actually "place" the mine, or do you just have to kind of throw it there?
It gets you Silent Assassin assuming you meet all the other requirements, as it kills both targets and doesn't go over the shots limit.

Absolutely hands down worst mission in the game. I had all 7 targets down, had the documents, and no extra murders. I did all of this in my suit with some clever sneaking. Worst part about this mission? Escaping requires you to pass through a staff only area. Worst design ever. Yeah all those extra boats on the side on deck one? Yeah can't use those. So while trying to figure out that I have to pass through an illegal area to escape the bodies are beginning to turn up. Shit got real messy towards the end and lets leave it at a grand total of twenty two dead bodies for that.
Yeah from seven to twenty two in about 45 seconds. Worst fucking mission in the game.
I wonder, is there any way to do Murder of Crows cleanly after the hand-off? I'm trying to do the mission somewhat realistically, because all my SA methods involve me taking the courier's place and magically knowing where he's supposed to go instead of trailing him.
I got it fairly clean, you'll have to modify this a bit
let the handoff go, drop a piano on a bitch, go upstairs in the bookstore and chuck a mine by the planks of wood joining the two things and kill the head guy that way, then go up to the hotel you start at to kill the shooter as she stands on the balcony. I did all that without changing clothes once then went and got the diamonds, but I don't know exactly what the reqs for SA are
I think I only played Hitman 2, and I was not able to enjoy it, so I must be a freak. Maybe I should give Blood Money a try. The main thing that bothered me was trying to get Silent Assassin rank. It was frustrating to try repeatedly to do a mission perfectly without killing anyone and without being spotted, and what's the reward? A big, loud, fancy gun! Great! That will be very useful in being quiet and peaceful in the next mission. Maybe I ought to try playing Tube's way.

I never understood in Blood Money why you would even want to bring along a combat shotgun or an M4 rifle let alone spend the money to upgrade it. I barely get to use the sniper rifle and I make limited use of the silver baller.
I always have tried to do everything completely perfect, and in the process bred lots of frustration when it didn't go down according to plan. This method sounds so fun because I know when i do it again, shit is going to go down.

i think silent assassin requires no witnesses or sightings on camera, any non-targets have to be either sedated or knocked out, or if you want to kill them it has to be an accident. no bodies found, and any shots you fire have to be silenced. i'm not sure how many shots you can fire- i always thought it was one, but apparently it can be more as long as they are silenced.

Fairly certain there is no shots limit in BM to get Silent Assassin, though there was in the sequel-which-shall-not-be-named and, I believe, in Contracts as well.
Yes, got Murder of Crows right the second time round, although not perfect. I like that mission because it really feels like a step forward for the series - Random target locations, multiple factions with competing objectives and an urban environment that feels alive and reactive to your actions. I wouldn't say it is the best necessarily, but I really enjoy the changes to the formula that make it feel more like a living world. The first time that you wait too long and
The Senator is killed by one of the Assassins is pretty tense stuff, especially when you try to intervene.
Murder of Crows
It was a routine assignment
Blowing the guy out of the window without using the diamonds case took some work. I had to strut in there confidently and pretend I belonged. But the guard kept checking up on his boss. In the end I had to accident him on the staircase so I had time to plan with just the boss in the room.
I managed to spot Raymond at the first location I tried. He was an easy kill, but I noticed that his sniper perch allowed me to Snipe onto part of the street without giving away my position - by shooting inside the room.
Then it was just a case of waiting for the spotter to come into view and shooting her with Raymond's rifle. The FBI will think it was a lovers tiff....
So I line up with the Rifle, get used to the sway, lock in for the headshot.....
And one of New Orleans Finest steps in front of her as the bullet flies. DAMMIT CAN I NOT GET A BREAK. The Police Officer drops dead instantly from the headshot and one of his buddies runs up to check on him.
She is almost around the corner now and the Police will be kicking in the apartment door any second. They may not have seen me take the shot but they sure as hell heard where it came from. This has to be a snap shot and not hit any civillians.
So you can see how close to failiure I was.
I threw down the rifle just before the door was kicked in, bolted for the fire escape and lept down. Once I hit the ground it was just a case of walking calmly into the crowd and keeping away from over suspicious police officers.
Final Ranking - Specialist, still only 10 Notoriety.
In conclusion, the mode Tube suggested is damn fun for watching your carefully laid plans go horribly horribly wrong and desperately trying to salvage them.

You know you can climb down the trellis on the side, right? It's possible to get to the boat without going through that area.
I don't think you can. I'm willing to be corrected on it but I've spent a good deal of time looking for an easier path and there isn't one. The best way I've found is to go in the top deck of the engine room and turn the light off.
Just throwing this out there, but if anyone is having any trouble and you don't want to kill folks, use the butt of your gun. Forget the syringe, its useless. Shield then knock out. Infinite and clean. It shouldn't get any witnesses or anything, on the odd occasion I've gotten witnesses. Whether that was due to being too slow on the knock out or something else during the mission, I'm not sure.
I always use that, syringe is only for sausage and drinks. Never think you can't go around an empty level.

Sorry for any confusion. It did come out of nowhere. :P

Years later and long fired from his security job, he became a storm trooper.
My neighbors retain the services of a pet psychic to communicate with their little darlings.
Apparently dogs get jealous of each other often! Also they hate bald assassins, well known.

If you shoot enough people and take out enough with one shot that your shots fired is lower than your shots hit, the papers mention it.
You know you can climb down the trellis on the side, right? It's possible to get to the boat without going through that area.
Well, you can always jump down there from the front of the boat.
I always use that, syringe is only for sausage and drinks. Never think you can't go around an empty level.
Usually it doesn't. I think if they see you following them before you try it then it might, but I'm not sure.
