EQUIPMENT
SHOTGUNS
Devastatingly powerful at close
range, the shotgun’s defining
characteristics are having a smooth
bore and firing “shot” from an
explosive cartridge. Designed for
close combat situations, the shotgun
is mainly used by law enforcement
agencies and as a hunting weapon.
MACHINE GUNS
Fully automatic, low-caliber
and capable of rapid fire,
the machine gun is designed
to provide suppressing cover fire
more than aim and accuracy.
SNIPER RIFLES
In the hands of trained professionals,
the sniper rifle is perhaps the most
powerful of all projectile weapons.
Offering precision and accuracy over
long distances, this weapon can
be used to eliminate targets
from a safe position.
The W2000 Sniper Rifle is Hitman’s
rifle of choice and comes silenced
and concealable in its own briefcase.
NOTE: Crouching while aiming
improves the accuracy and reduces
the movement of the rifle
in Hitman’s hands.

BINOCULARS
Excellent for surveillance and spying
on targets from a distance.
MAP
Hitman is equipped with a map
of his surroundings at all times. Using
the map to plan your route can
prevent unwanted surprises and will
often reveal hidden access points.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES (NVGs)
When worn in a dark environment,
night vision goggles amplify the light
levels, allowing you to navigate
through darkened areas. Normally
confined to military use, the NVGs
will draw suspicion if noticed
by guards or civilians.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Proper planning always increases
the chance of making a successful
hit. Spend time on surveillance
and try changing your approach
if your current plan isn’t working.
• High-caliber ammunition will
penetrate doors and obstacles.
• Sound is Hitman’s friend. Loud
music can often mask the sound
of gunshots, allowing the usage
of firearms to go unnoticed.
• Keep your eye on the Threat Meter
when accessing areas that are
out of bounds.
