How to complete a mission with Silent Assassin rank in Hitman Blood Money? Hitman: Blood Money Guide
Last update: 21 January 2019
The Silent Assassin rank is the highest one granted for mission completion in Hitman: Blood Money. The most important rules to obtain it include: killing only mission objectives and not being detected. On this page of the Hitman: Blood Money guide, you'll find a full list of the requirements for this rank.
The game doesn't allow you to obtain Silent Assassin rank in the first mission (Death of a Showman) and in the epilogue (Requiem). This is because you have to play these missions in a specified way - you can't avoid being detected, and you have to eliminate more people than just the targets.
List of requirements for obtaining the Silent Assassin rank:
- Kill only the mission objective(s). In the case of guards, you can arrange an accident - for example, drop a heavy load on the opponent. It's risky, so it's best to avoid killing other characters completely.
- Hide the bodies of stunned/killed characters. No body can be left in sight at the end of the mission. You can hide them in various wardrobes or containers.
- Don't let anyone notice you. Agent 47 can't be spotted in restricted areas without wearing a disguise, with weapons and other dangerous objects out of the inventory, or while sabotaging objects (e.g. fuse boxes). Also, there can't be any witness at the moment of stunning / killing a character or while hiding a body.
- Don't let anyone blow your cover. Avoid situations in which Agent 47 can be recognized even in a disguise. Don't get to close to the guards, avoid locations where you will be searched and don't move with weapons out.
- Put the Agent 47 suit on before completing the mission. If you used a disguise in a mission, you have to put on your "starting" outfit again before reaching one of the exits.
- Get all forbidden items out of the view before completing the mission. Mainly the weapons. Place them in the Agent 47 inventory or hide them in one of the ICA containers on the map.
- Avoid security cameras. Don't try to destroy them. Just remember their location and keep a safe distance. However, getting caught on camera doesn't necessarily mean failing in obtaining the Silent Assassin rank. In this situation, you have to get to the guarded area where it's possible to destroy the recordings.
