Hitman Contracts
GamePlay:
Use the in-game Training Mode to practice techniques and learn controls.
Disguises
Use disguises and costumes to throw enemies off your trail and to infiltrate restricted areas. When in a disguise, be sure to act like the person you are impersonating because alert guards and enemies will notice suspicious behavior.
Sneaking
Snea king through areas undetected is a vital technique. When moving in Sneak Mode, Hitman's movement is completely silent. Creeping up behind enemies is a useful fighting strategy. Before entering a room, it is always important to look through the keyhole or check your map for danger and activity.
Close Combat and Silent Skills
Hitman's most powerful weapons are also the most difficult to master. Clost combat weapons neutralize targets without calling attention to yourself. The best technique is to sneak up behind targets and to strike a fatal blow with a fully charged close combat weapon. Close combat weapons are less effective in melee attacks.
