Eavesdropping, tailing, and passive observation are good first steps to success. If you're familiar with Hitman, you know that each stage and its AI inhabitants run on routines like clockwork, making Hitman a game that rewards social stealth and patience. These levels are overwhelming in the best way possible, and it's exciting to begin peeling away the layers of these large, intricate areas-exploring the spaces, discovering routes, finding tools and disguises, and figuring out the best places to utilize them. A mission in Miami, Florida takes place at an active raceway, a loud and vibrant stage that feels like a theme park with its swaths of attendees, distinct zones, and a concealed backstage underbelly. Mumbai is a standout with its densely populated streets and labyrinths of tenement buildings-a great environment that makes the most of a new Assassin's Creed-style crowd blending mechanic, allowing you to disappear into big groups of people. ![]() Hitman 2 takes you to six new locales, and each poses unique situations to overcome as you attempt to assassinate your targets. Hitman 2 ditches the episodic model and adds a few new minor mechanics, but the loop of continuously replaying a single location, slowly uncovering the wealth of possibilities, and being able to effectively draw upon that knowledge in new challenges is where Hitman is strongest. The episodic nature of the Hitman refresh in 2016 saw IO Interactive release one level every month-a contentious move at the time, but one that helped accentuate the potential in each mission. ![]() ![]() But it's also a game about exploring large, real-world-inspired spaces, learning about how they operate, finding multiple solutions to problems, and using that knowledge to improvise and manipulate the environment to hit the people you're hunting.

As of April 2021, the servers are still up with no word of when they will definitely go down, so you may want to complete these achievements ASAP to be safe.Hitman 2 is out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It is very important to note that t hose levels each have an achievement for completing them in online multiplayer with another person IO did announce they were going to shut down these multiplayer servers in August 2019, but that they would find a solution to ensure the achievements are still unlockable. There are also three Sniper Assassin levels, which play fairly different from the rest of the game as they are more arcade-like and see you fixed in place using a sniper rifle to eliminate several targets, and I'll get more into how these levels work when we come to them. This walkthrough is also written assuming that you're playing each DLC in the order they're presented here (with one exception at the end of Hawke's Bay where you are forced to unlock a Sniper Rifle elsewhere in the game) if you play the DLCs in a different order, it's likely that you'll lack an item or weapon that I tell you to bring. This walkthrough will guide you through each of the game's levels to reach the ultimate goal of Mission Mastery Level 20 (or less on some of the smaller levels) in an efficient manner whilst earning the other achievements on the way. Every level has challenges that will give you XP and count towards your Mission Mastery level, and as this gets higher, you'll unlock new starting locations for that level and items that can be used elsewhere in the game, amongst other things. ![]()
