Convenience Store - Getting inside the shop | 5: Hunter and Hunted Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives of the stage: Convenience Store is fifth stage of Hunter and Hunted mission. Main objective of this stage it to cross the mentioned shop in order to get to the door leading to the next location. You might have here little more freedom of action than before.

You start this stage on the rooftop of the building adjacent to a convenience store. Before you start any actions, check the right rooftop visible in a distance (screen above). If it is patrolled by a cop, you have to watch out because he can easily spot you. Otherwise you can immediately get into action.

You can get to lower levels in two main ways. First of them is to locate an interactive edge (screen above) and climb down. Another method is using fire stairs. In this case you can go down to the very bottom or stop on your way and walk over the ledge.

If you've decided to walk over the ledge, you might stop at the shutter shown on the above screen. Inside this building you'll encounter a single cop and depending on your preferences you can ignore or attack him, in order to easily obtain Chicago policeman disguise.

Now let's focus on the main objective, which is getting into the convenience store. You can achieve you goal by choosing one of three main ways. First method is reaching the entrance at the back of the store. In this case you have to start with getting to the lowest floor. You can use either the staircase inside the building (screen above) or fire stairs.

Of course, you have to reckon with the fact that there will be a fairly group of enemies in the area, even on lower difficulty levels. I recommend getting store clerk disguise, e.g. by surprising a person which appears on the building's ground floor (the same one, where you've started the stage). If you're using Chicago policeman disguise or default Hitman's suit you'll have to pay more attention on avoiding enemies.

The entrance located on the back of the store is shown on the above screen. It is worth noting that cops have full access to this local so you do not have to worry about additional problems if you're using proper disguise.

Another variant relies on using the stairs leading to the store. In this case you have to reach the shutter shown on the above screen, first walking over the metal bar connecting small rooftops and then over the ledge. Of course you might have to wait until the clerk walks away from the window and get inside only after that.

After getting inside a small room, head to the stairs shown on the above screen. Also in this case you have to think about disguise you want to use (it is best to wear Chicago policeman disguise).

The last, third method is getting through the hatch over the shop's rooftop. This variant starts at the same place as the previous one, so you have to reach the open shutter on the first floor. The main difference is that instead of the stairs you should choose a right corridor leading to the rooftop (screen above).

Keep special precautions because as mentioned earlier, on higher difficulty levels this area might be patrolled by a single cop. So you have to wait until he walks past you, hide your identity or use store clerk disguise. After getting to the rooftop, locate the hatch and climb down the ladder.
