Hitman 2: Silent Assassin - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Hitman 2: Silent Assassin - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

NOTE: You can pick up the Sniper Rifle at the locker, but it is bullet-less.
Its bullets are outside, on the streets. ATTENTION! For this bullets are blanks.
I.E., they don't kill anything! It was a trap! That's why I'll tell you not to
pick the sniper rifle.

Right after you start, go up the staircase in front of you(your pickup won't
be of any use, trust me) make a left and follow the hallway to an escalator.
Go up it and follow the path until you're outside. Make a right and cross the
street. Proceed forwards until you find a building. Turn west and go past
the street block and the truck. You'll be right in front of the Pushkin building.

TAKE COVER! Study your street map. We must get into the building via the
front door. There is a sniper on the building, that's the problem. Bolt your
way towards the front door, hugging against its walls. You'll be probably shot,
but only once. Once you reach the building's front door, hit the sneak button
and go through it.

Go up the stairs and turn left. Go up the staircase, open the door and....! Is 
this some kind of joke!? Our "target" is nothing but a piece of wood! He's not
our real target you see. Go through the door to the right and run through the
hallway towards a door. Hit the sneak button and open the door. There he is.
Our sniper. Mr 17. Your clone.

He'll be most likely looking through the window. Sneak towards him, and ready
your Fiber Wire. Strangle him. A cutscene takes place. After it, take his
clothes(they'll add glasses to your suit), his sniper rifle and run out of the
building. Bolt your way towards the nearest sewer's entrance(from the entrance,
go down the street, make a left and look for the manhole).

The sewers now have guards, but it's no problem. The tunnel that leads back to
the train station(bottom right on the map) is guarded by two soldiers. They're
conveniently away from the tunnel though, so as long as you run like the wind
you'll make it to the train station no problem. From there, run towards your
train and you're safe.

MISSION # 20 - REDEMPTION AT GONTRANNO
--------------------------------------

OBJECTIVES
*Kill EVERY guard in the level
*Kill Sergei

This mission is basically a ruthless bloodbath, so come prepared. From
the start, run to the right. There are two guards by the door. One of
them patrols the door and stops by a pillar, while the other goes a little
far away. Wait one to go far away, and the other to make a short stop
by the pillar. Sneak past him and go through the door.

Stroll past the guard you'll bump into(he normally doesn't even discover
me) and go down the stairs. Bolt your way and get inside your weapons
shed(where all your weapons are, not the one with the laptop). Inside,
pick all the revolvers and pistols you can(except the ballers) and any
sniper rifle, along with bullets for all of them. 

Keep yourself in the shed, and aim with your sniper rifle through the
window. Take out the sniper guy. If you caused a fuss, three guards
will come into your shed. Kill them! Remember, your goal is to kill
everybody on this level. 

Get out of your shed and head back to the beginning and kill both
guards. Head back to your shed and proceed to the ruins. There's a guard
inside the ruins. You can see him from far away: put a bullet through
his head. Afterwards, go through the door next to your shed and follow
the path. Kill the guard and pick the lock of the door at the end of
the hallway. Take the church key.

Go behind the shed and you'll find a secret door with vines all over
it. Go through it and and go up both staircases. You'll find two
doors. Ignore the rightmost one, and open the leftmost. Ready your
gun and FIRE! Kill the two guards here(a third will probably appear
from behind) and then, go up the wooden staircase. You'll find two
more doors.

Ignore the right door and go through the left door. Immediately
kill both guards there, waiting for you. Hit the sneak button and
proceed through the balcony to a door. Go through it. Then, sneak
halfway down the stairs and kill the guard at the bottom. Head
back up and go through the northmost door. Kill the guard there(BTW,
I'll call this the western balcony)

A little beyond this area there is a sniper. This guy's a real threat, I
tell you. Go up the steps, turn left and shoot. If you do this real
fast, he won't even know what shot him. Crouch down and proceed down
the balcony. As you do, look east, towards the other balcony. You'll
be able to see two guards as you move towards the door: take them both.
And then, go through the door.

Head through the spinning hallway until you reach a door. Pick its lock
and go into the balcony(eastern balcony). Equip your sniper rifle, de-crouch and shoot
the guard south. Crouch again, turn west, and kill the guard there. There
is a third guard directly below the balcony, but we cant' do anything.

Head back to the western balcony and right after you open the door, 
de-crouch. You should see a guard there. Take him out with your sniper
and crouch once again. Proceed through the balcony, looking down below,
until you see another guard. He's on the south end of the area, behind
some pillars. Take him out.

Run towards the south end of the balcony and look down. You should see
two more guards to the far east, both partially hidden behind a pillar.
Take them out. First objective complete. Now, head back to the eastern
balcony and shoot the hear picture on the confessional. Once Sergei
comes out, QUICKLY KILL HIM. If you don't, he'll come towards where you
are and he's got a quick-killing shotgun. Three or four shots are enough
to take out Sergei(or one headshot). Sit back and enjoy the ending!

There are various kinds of weapons(these names were made-up by myself):

POCKET: Knives and small weapons.
PISTOLS: Handguns and revolvers.
RIFLES: Sniper rifles and machine guns. This includes shotguns.
MELEE: Swords and clubs.

**********************

--POCKET WEAPONS

KNIFE
   The knife is an extremely useful weapon. Although you can kil somebody
   with two stabs, doing so will get you detected most of the time. The best
   way to use the knife is along with the sneak button: sneak up behind someone,
   hit the R1 button and you'll slit his throat, thus killing him immediately.
   The knife's a great weapon to use on targets and enemies alike.

SCALPEL
   A variation of the knife, I believe, which I've never used. You can stab
   people with it and it'll take them down really fast, just like the normal
   knife. You can also use it to get behind someone and slit his throat. It's
   pretty much a knife with a different look.

ANASTHESIC
   A green bottle with sleep-inducing liquid on it. You can only use it by
   sneaking up behind people. When you do, press R1. By quickly tapping the
   R1 button, you'll only use one bottle, which is worth around two seconds
   of sleep. In order to properly use the anasthesic, press and hold the R1
   button to use up to five bottles, which are worth around five minutes of
   sleep.

FIBER WIRE
   Again, to use it, you'll need to sneak up behind somebody. By pressing and
   holding the R1 button you'll prepare the wire, although this is not
   necessary. Anyway, once you're behind someone, press and hold the R1 button.
   Mr 47 will put the wire around his neck and start strangling him. The 
   strangling animation is quite long, so try not to use it when there's a lot
   of people who could see you.

**********************

---PISTOLS

9MM GUN/SD
   The 9MM is one of the first weapons you'll get: it's got a small clip size,
   meaning you'll have to reload a lot. Plus, it's really noisy, although it's
   fast and powerful. It's basically a weapon you'll use when there are gunfights,
   because it'll get you discovered otherwise. The Silenced variation is much
   more useful, and my preferred weapon when it comes to killing somebody. The
   SD 9MM Gun is gotten quite early and painlessly, meaning you'll use it for
   the missions to come.

REVOLVER
   A very noisy and somewhat slow weapon, with an small clip size. It uses
   Magnum ammo, therefore you can expect good piercing power. It's a very
   useless weapon because of the noise it makes and it's slowness/ammo shortage.
   Use it only when you've got nothing else.

DEAGLE
   It also uses Magnum ammo, and it's also extremely noisy. However, the deagle
   is an excellent weapon to use in the correct situations. It's much more faster
   than the revolver and it's got a bigger clip size, and it shares the revolver's
   power and piercing capabilities. A very good weapon, overall.

BALLERS/SD
   Not my preferred weapon, since you can't carry rifles along with it. You see,
   the ballers are a set of twin handguns that Mr 47 carry in all of his 
   propaganda. Although they're two weapons, I find them to be unuseful. They're
   actually quite slow, and its clip size is very small. Not to mention that I
   seem to have a hard time aiming with them. You may like them for their overall
   coolness and all. The Silenced version, on the other hand, it's just as good
   as the SD 9MM Gun, slightly improved.

.54 PISTOL
   A very small revolver. It's pretty much a normal 9MM Gun, with a smaller clip
   size and limited power.

.22 SD
   This is a weapon I somewhat like. It's fast, had a good clip size, it's 
   powerful and does not get picked by metal detectors(sweet for "Basement
   Killing"). Although a SD 9MM gun is much better by leaps and bounds, this
   is a good weapon for when you don't have the 9MM.

**********************

---RIFLES

AK
   A russian rifle we've been seeing for a long time on action games. It's
   your basic assault rifle: nosiy as hell, very powerful and fast, good
   clip size and very innacurate. It also takes some quality time to reload.
   The AK cannot be "hidden" inside your suit, so that means everybody can
   see and will get alerted unless you're in some kind of disguise. Good to
   use along with the St. Petersburg soldier's uniform.

M60
   A very big and not-so-fast weapon. However, its devastating power and 
   huge clip make up for it. It's an excellent weapon to use on the right
   situations, but otherwise useless, because it won't help you with
   disguises most of the time.

M4
   A very fast weapon with average power and a good clip size. It's very
   hard to get, and not exactly worth it(I'd take the SMG-SD over it any day).

SMG
   A surprisingly good assault rifle. It can be hidden inside your suit very
   well, meaning you can carry it painlessly around and use it then you 
   need to. It's fast, accurate and it's got your average clip size. A good
   weapon, but then again, it'll get you caugh if used during the incorrect
   situation.

SMG-SD
   See the previous weapon, although this one cannot be hidden inside your
   clothes and it's silenced. It'd have been a sweet ass weapon if you could
   hide it, but you can't, therefore it should be equipped whenever someone's
   not looking. Extremely good to take out masses silently.

SVD SNIPER RIFLE
   Your basic sniper rifle. It's very slow, and it's got a small clip. Doesn't
   matter, becuase it guarantees one hit(or two hit kills), grants superb
   accuracy and can be used from afar. Should not be used against normal
   enemies(unless in certain missions) and very good to take out certain 
   targets.

R93 SNIPER RIFLE
   A variation of the previous sniper(it is in my eyes anyway). It's good 
   a MUCH clearer scope, but it's still as good as the previous one.

M195
   The most powerful sniper rifle in the game, but not exactly the best.
   It's good a nice scope, it's very powerful, it has a very nice clip 
   size and fire rate. You should use it only if you've got nothing better
   to pick(most of the time this is THE sniper rifle to use, unless you've
   gotten the W2000 Custom Rifle).

CROSSBOW
   Suck-ass! It's invaluable on the "At the Gates" mission though. From there,
   it becomes useless. It's got a SMALL clip size(one bolt only) and the bolts
   are really weak. I've tried to use them on the "Hidden Valley" Ninjas, and
   it would take more than a HEADSHOT to take them down. Slow, weak and short
   on bullets. Not my kind of weapon.

W2000 RIFLE
   See crossbow, although this one has decent power and a nice scope, too! It
   has a one-bullet-only clip size, and it's rather slow on reloading. It's
   quite powerful though.

W2000 CUSTOM RIFLE
   An excellent weapon, I tell you! It's got a silencer, a very large clip,
   a decent fire rate and good power. Add a nice scope and we've got a deal!
   You can get it early on, but not without a few shots up your ass, so you're
   better off waiting to "Redemption at Gontranno".

SHOTGUN
   Your average shotgun that makes movie heroes look badass once they reload
   it after every shot and still take out every mofo in the room. Yes, in 
   the game it also delivers one hit kills at close range(plus it can hit
   multiple enemies), but you have to reload it after every shot. Not to
   mention it rarely hits if your target is far away.

SP12
   An improved version of the shotgun, with larger clip. It still can kick arse
   like no one business.

SAWN-OFF
   You can hide this thing off inside your clothes. Other than that, I see it 
   as another SP12.

**********************

---MELEE

AXE
   You'll use it once and once only most likely(Basement Killing).  47 swings
   it stupidly and slowly. It's got decent power, though. If used alongside
   a firemen disguise, you'll fool a lot of people.

KATANA
   An improved version of the axe, power-wise, but otherwise the same thing.

GOLF CLUB
   Slow like molasses and really weak. Bah.
