Hitman beginner's guide – How to hone your assassin skills

In this Hitman beginner's guide, we explain how to get the jump on your targets and become the perfect assassin.

Hitman's first season has finally come to a close, following six episodes of content that take place across a range of locales. Although there was a level of skepticism from the outset, Square Enix has successfully shown the series' potential as an episodic franchise.

With the first season all wrapped up, now's a perfect time to jump into the world of assassination. Whether you're a veteran of the franchise or are still yet to perform your first kill, here are eight quick tips to get started.

1. Keep control of the situation

Large-scale operations are a focus in Hitman's latest rendition, offering expansive levels which house hundreds of unique non-player characters (NPCs). Although both remarkable and immersive, the scale also necessitates an entirely different approach to gameplay.

With NPCs freely roaming the world, one of the biggest threats to your mission will be innocent bystanders. Panic can spread quickly and if you're caught committing any crimes, situations can quickly spiral out of control. To prevent widespread chaos, make sure to keep an eye out for potential witnesses when performing any suspicious activities. Most NPCs follow general paths over time, sometimes providing a window for when your actions can go unnoticed. Patience is key in these scenarios, with the best rewards coming to those who wait.
