Convenience Store - Getting to the exit | 5: Hunter and Hunted Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General objectives of the stage: Getting inside the convenience store is just a half of your way. Your next goal is to cross the entire store, where you may encounter clerks, clients and cops.
Regardless of the method you used to get inside, you start at the back of the store, specifically in the kitchen, the storeroom or in a small cold store. If you're wearing Chicago policeman disguise, you are safe for now. Otherwise (no disguise at all or store clerk disguise) you have to avoid nearby characters.
At the back of the store you can find many items, e.g. throwable objects or melee weapons. You can also find there prepared store clerk disguise, but wearing it is not required. Locate one of passages leading to the main store area. You have to be careful there because you'll start encountering more and more policemen.
Theoretically you could attempt to leave the store without any additional preparations, but that would be very risky, regardless of disguise you have. So it is much better to complete some actions in order to distract people in the area. Start with locating the valve shown on the above screen. Turn it.
That's not all because you have to ignite fireworks yet and it is best to use ones located in the main storeroom (screen above). After completing both described above actions, the fire alarm will start and all rooms will be covered in smoke. This will end in evacuating the entire store and limited vision of all nearby characters.
Only now I advise moving to the area reserved for clients of convenience store. Do not hurry because a number of officers will probably stay in the area and you can get exposed by them if you get too close. Be sure to examine the shop cash desk before you leave the building, finding evidence there.
After leaving the convenience store turn right. If you have started the alarm, it will be easier now because cops should be busy with evacuating store staff and clients. Otherwise plan your moves carefully, using Instinct to hide your identity. Eventually you have to reach the door leading to the next area.
