Hitman: Blood Money is the fourth installment in the Hitman series. It was released on the PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. Players play as Agent 47 and the game takes place during and after Hitman: Contracts.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Blood Money has improved since Contracts. Agent 47 is now capable of melee combat, and can even disarm enemies. Non-player characters (NPCs) can be used as human shields if the player is carrying a one-handed gun.
The game begins with a "notoriety" rating of 0 on a scale of 100. It increases with each witness, and being caught on CCTV raises notoriety significantly. An NPC becomes a witness if they survive and:
- See the player with a weapon that does not correspond with their disguise
- See the player attacking
- See the player manipulating a body
- See the player picking a lock only if 47 fully opens the door
- Blow the player's cover
Notoriety can be lowered by bribery; the player has three choices, and the more expensive option has a higher output–cost ratio.
The player earns money for completing objectives, and optional tasks are available for additional funds. A rating bonus is also given at the end of a mission, and is proportional to the player's performance; the Silent Assassin rating procures the largest bonus of $150,000. Money can be used to bribe witnesses and customize weapons. Five weapons are customizable: Silverballers, SP12 Shotgun, SMG Tactical, M4, and W2000 Sniper. Damage control, suit retrieval, and custom weapons retrieval are penalties for killing non-targets, completing the mission while wearing a disguise, and not carrying custom weapons or storing them in an ICA crate, respectively.
Agent 47 has the ability to throw items. Coins can be dropped or thrown to distract NPCs, and weapons such as knives can be thrown.
