Last update: 21 September 2021
On this page of the guide to Hitman 2, you will find information about the available difficulty levels. We also explain what are the differences between the difficulty levels and suggest which one is the optimal choice for learning the game.
The game offers three difficulty levels:
- Casual - unlimited saves and autosaves; the biggest number of useful items; fewer cameras and guards.
- Professional - unlimited saves and autosaves; a lot of useful items (placed in such way that wouldn't force you to run across the entire map to collect them).
- Master - you only have one save per a mission; the number of items on a map is limited - you can always find tools and items for every type of execution but instead of a few of them, you will find only one or two (i.e. poison). NPCs have better hearing, certain assassinations can stain clothes with blood, and you don't get any tips for the story missions.
Choose the easiest level only when you can't complete a given mission or when you are doing it for the first time - it will be easier for you to explore and learn the map. Higher difficulty levels give you more points, unlock challenges and trophies/achievements (those that require you to complete a mission on Master difficulty level).
Note - due to the different placements of items and tools which are caused by difficulty levels the guide focuses on missions and challenges completed on Professional level. We have also included the differences between this level and Master. Besides that, the guide also contains alternate ways of completing missions.
