Hitman 2 |OT| Silent Assassin

- Start date
I shot that guy in Sapienza with a cannon today. Not done that before. Was fun would recommend.
My favourite cannon kill is when you shoot down Silvio's plane with it.
Now try to get through Narcos: Mexico without having a ton of Hitman flashbacks. Seriously.
This game sticks with you.
oh yeah that reminds me that i have something very silly to upload
Is Narcos:Mexico any good? I keep seeing it pop on my netflix recommendation list, but I still havn't seen Narco's 2nd season and don't know if there's any link between the two.
Am on my second binge. Love it. Its also standalone, and takes place before the events on the regular Narcos series, so you can jump in with Mexico.
And no joke on the Hitman flashbacks. There's a great bathroom misdirection item pickup maneuver, disguises, direct connections to a certain mission in the latest game, the works ;p
Is the Hitman 2 version of Patient Zero final mission bugged? I can't seem to get SA rating on it, no matter what the final score is 4 stars with a 'spotted' penalty.
Here's the video of me doing it. Like, I only kill 2 targets and knock out 2 more dudes - and all that unaware from behind, as far as I can tell. Who is spotting me?
And the funny thing is, the challenge completed notice for 'Silent Assassin' did pop up the first time I did that, despite the rating.

I have the same problem. Thought I was pulling off SA multiple times, but I can't do it without getting spotted by something or the other. Your video is set to private, by the way.
The only thing I found on a google search is it may have something to do with gun shot noise--even noise from your silenced pistol. The post wasn't directly about this issue, but it's all I could find. I had been shooting out a camera with a silenced pistol near some guards to make my later escape quicker. I'll try doing it without shooting that camera to see if that gives me SA.
(Based on my experience) there seems to currently be a bug with "phantom spottings" where the game decides you are spotted, but no NPCs are acting as if they spotted you, and it doesn't inform you that you've been spotted. Sometimes you even hear gunshots whizzing around despite the fact that nobody is actually shooting at you.
It may be something else, but that's what it seemed like to me. Usually starting a fresh run of the mission clears it.

Sorry, set it to unlisted now. I do use a silenced pistol to distract the guards at the beginning, so I guess it's possible.
Got full mastery on Miami. Finally gonna move on.
I'm committed to taking my time like in S1 lol

I got the challenges on Patient Zero (Hokkaido) for Suit Only, Silent Assassin, Suit Only and No Evidence but still got only 4 stars. The detailed score screen even says silent assassin on it. It's impossible. Part of the game--the challenges and the detailed score screen--think I was not spotted and another part thinks I was spotted. I don't think I can get SA on this mission, it's just broken. Or I'm an idiot, I don't know.
I also tried to do my SA run (with disguises) without shooting the camera I normally take out, which didn't fix the problem.

There seems to be some (minor) issues with the original Hitman missions played in Hitman 2. For example, in Hokkaido, when 47 grabs the replacement heart to throw it in the garbage, the camera does not cut to the heart entering the garbage. It kind of ruins the moment.
The one thing I can think of is that this way, all contracts are possible to complete regardless of what you've unlocked in the game. Making a specific weapon mandatory, or a costume (along with certain other escalations) could effectively make certain contracts impossible to players who haven't reached a certain level of mastery.
Still learning my way through Mumbai with opportunities off/master difficulty. Found a couple of good kill ways and strung them together for my first SA run. Really like the level. Reminds me of Sapienza. Refreshing coming from Santa Fortuna. This is how you do 3 kills in separate areas but still make it feel fun and not just waiting around in 3 separate mini-levels for scripted stuff to go.
I see that on weapons, but all outfits are available in a level and so far all the contracts I've done the weapons are within the level (most are just like pistols/accident kill anyhow)

Theoretically you could make a contract with the escalation that you can't change your starting outfit, or one with a time restriction that makes any other starting location infeasible.
is the bird cage kill bugged on mumbai?
i shot down one of them and got the kill, but later realized it never gave me credit for it. i only got an accidental kill
is there a specific one you have to use? there's like 4 or 5 i think in that train area, but they all look identical to me

The one on the way to the tea area worked for me I think, I can't remember for sure. I just waited for her to walk underneath and shot it.
yeah im not 100% sure which one it was, she was walking from her spot where she meets you for the fabric to the tea area.
So I bought Hitman 2 disc when it was $30 a few weeks ago. Is there a way to get the season 1 content if i buy 1 month of games pass? Or am I stuck just buying the $20 upgrade to get H1 levels into H2?
Has anyone managed to get a good grasp of Sgail yet? Even after several playthroughs now, I still find myself lost and confused when I try to start that mission; there's so much going on, and it all kinda looks similar, that I can't really keep it all straight.
Yeah, IO seems to make sure to place landmarks away from one another (e.g. the fire statue, the glass house) so that you can work out the dimensions. It took me a while, though. It's definitely a process, though - there are a lot of tunnels and secret doors to discover.
It's constructed similarly to sapienza. There's a lot of fluff around it, but the main castle is where everything is. Just a big vertical level with restricted access.
Been messing around today in Mumbai with forcing the Maelstrom into lockdown. Because his route goes all around the slums, there are a few different places he will go if, say, an explosion is set off near him. It depends on which is closest at the time. So far I've seen him
- Go to the second floor of the Crows house by the beach
- Race through the slums to the Crows' hideout (the route the Kashmirian will take if you arrange that meeting)
- Run to the rail yard (Diana identified him at this point, as though he were meeting Shah normally)
- Run through the sewer tunnel to the Crows' hideout (there's a puddle here where you can kill him with a proximity taser for a fun accident kill)

Question: anyone else on xbox have the game be listed as Hitman 2 - Prologue in the achievement list and in the icon on the dashboard? Is there any way for it to just be Hitman 2? For some reason this is really buggin' me.
...that, and the fact that I have so many missing achievements, despite having just completed 95% of them in Hitman (2016). Do I replay those missions yet again? Hah.

So if I bought Season 1, got the Legacy Pack, imported into Hitman 2, but never got any of the Patient Zero stuff, what exactly do I need to buy on PS4 to get the Patient Zero stuff into Hitman 2?
I bought the game today, and im on the first mission in Miami.
Boy im having a blast ....the maps are full of possibility's and secrets.....
The last hitman i play was blood money, im really impressed with the game.

A deviously brilliant aspect of the castle design are the separate looping stairways for the lower and upper halves, which I believe are rooted at opposite corners of the building. It really throws off your sense of direction while inside.

After several attempts to create a contract on Sgail that required you to steal the Cloud Serpent necklace, I was disappointed to find that contracts mode doesn't differentiate between the garroting tools; they all just count as fiber wire kills. It's upsetting, because that could have led to some really cool contracts. I assume the same holds true for the tape measures in Mumbai, though those are much easier to acquire.
Question: for the challenges that require you to kill by drowning/shooting/fibre wiring/killing with x, can you just isolate the target, kill them so it unlocks, then load a save and do the next one? When you eventually complete the mission, do you get all of them? I love playing the levels over and over, but sometimes, once I get a target isolated, I just want to knock off the more boring kill challenges so that subsequent playthroughs can focus on the more elaborate accident kills/set-ups.
Yes, once it's unlocked, the next time you finish the level, you'll get the xp for it. That goes for any of the challenges.
I think you get the XP even if you don't finish the level. It'll highlight the pictures and show your bar filling up once you do, but that stuff is already happening immediately and you can restart the mission without finishing and access your new unlocks.
Cool. I just assumed your XP was only added after completing the mission.
New unlockables will be added with the upcoming patch; I'm curious to see how they implement that:

(I wonder if that means more mastery levels on Hawke's Bay?)
Tomorrow we get an escalation contract on Sgail. I've been playing that some more lately, and I feel like it does a lot to test your actual stealth. Stuff like stealing the Cloud Serpent, becoming Jebediah Block, and getting the burial robes are all right there in plain sight, but well guarded. You can try to knock out everybody in the room, but it's better to view those as an opportunity to set up distractions, like the mission exit in NZ. Plus there are all the climbing possibilities throughout the level.

You should also note that you can do these kills for targets in player made contracts so if you'd rather play around with those for the sake of variety, you can.
Also, not to be a dick but does it feel like this is a very slow drip of new content for a GaaS like 2016? Game's been out a month. First month of new release! And all there's been is 1 elusive and 1 small 3/3 escalation. Oh and a couple of new featured contracts from users. I remember Hitman 2016 having a lot more frequent new content dumps?
I wonder if it's just them dedicating the first month or two to bug fixes and working on DLC locations. But even the S1 escalations that are missing you'd think they could slow drip them back into the game for something.
You'd think the first month or two would be the most critical for new users to see constant stream of new content, but maybe it's the opposite and they figure in the first month or two people will just be beating the main stages and won't need new content idk. I just want more good Hitman content!
