01 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Blood Money Returns
Complete several contracts with varying cleanliness levels, record each payout, and compare the differences. Use the data to decide how much to invest in bribes versus upgrades for future missions.
- Track cleanliness scores after each hit to see how payouts vary.
- Allocate early funds to bribes if you anticipate high‑notoriety missions.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Parameter Testing
Select a single weapon and adjust one parameter—such as recoil or rate of fire—between missions. Test the configuration in a controlled scenario to note handling changes and effectiveness.
- Experiment with one parameter at a time to notice its effect.
- Consider the mission’s typical engagement distance when adjusting zoom.
03 / THE GUIDE
Exploring New Movement Paths
Map a mission area and identify locations reachable only through climbing or ledge‑scaling. Evaluate how these routes alter line‑of‑sight and potential kill opportunities.
- Use climbing to reach elevated positions that provide new sightlines.
- Practice scaling ledges to discover hidden entry points.
04 / THE GUIDE
AI Reaction Observation
Create a minor disturbance, like a knocked‑over object, and watch guard behavior. Note investigation time and any patrol changes to better predict AI patterns.
- Avoid leaving blood to prevent guard tracking.
- Dispose of bodies discreetly to reduce suspicion.
05 / THE GUIDE
Audio‑Visual Immersion Review
Play a mission with sound at full volume and observe how the soundtrack and environmental sounds influence mood and alertness. Correlate visual details with possible interactive elements.
