Scoring and challenges | Tips

A very interesting part of Hitman: Absolution is scoring system, motivating the player to complete subsequent missions in the least aggressive way and to stay hidden as long as possible.

Positive score is obtained for:

• completing objectives
• staying hidden
• collecting evidence (secrets)
• hiding bodies of stunned/killed enemies
• head shots
• stealth kills
• accomplishing signature kills (it is mainly about such kills, which use elements of environment in different ways, like poisoning the opponent)
• playing on higher difficulty levels
• completing additional challenges

Negative score is obtained for:

• stunning important characters (when not necessary)
• killing important characters (when not necessary)
• stunning outsiders (more, if they are innocent civilians)
• killing outsiders (more, if they are innocent civilians)
• being spotted
• triggering alarms

In conclusion, in order to achieve best possible score try to focus on remaining hidden and avoiding unnecessary confrontation and bloodshed. If you want to eliminate someone, try to only stun that character and then hide the body in the box or the closet. Also try to play on the possible highest difficulty level and complete the optional challenges obtained during the gameplay.

During completing each mission you can deal with additional challenges, which are associated with obtaining disguises, finding secrets, collecting weapons or dealing with main targets in different ways among other things. Many challenges require several tries to complete entire mission or its fragment, so do not be discouraged if most of challenges remains locked after you complete the given stage for the first time. Advance in completing challenges can be checked out both during the gameplay, as well as in the main menu.
