Learning the Tools of the Trade in Hitman: Absolution

Posted by Adam Beck on 17 Sep 2012

While a human can only die once, there are thousands, if not millions, of ways it can happen. The Hitman franchise has always been known for their creativity in the different ways Agent 47 can dispose or drug someone, so with Hitman: Absolution two months away, it’s about time we learned what kind of options will bring someone into an early grave. Guns are the obvious favorite, but everything around Agent 47 is there to take advantage of. If you want to kill someone with a plunger, go for it; it’ll be interesting to see what the genetically enhanced clone will do in that situation.

Honestly, if you’re a fan of the Hitman franchise, the only real weapons needed are the two Silverballers (hopefully silenced) and your trusty fiber wire. One is for silent and cleaner approaches, and the other is for getting out of a jam. Regardless, you can either be the perfect assassin, a brutal maniac, or a bit of both; the choices are there for your pleasure.
