I knew Hitmanist would have something crazy up his sleeve, GGs.
Here’s my 2:15 run that I submitted last week
The Strat
I’ve thought about starting to explain my runs for certain contracts that I enjoy really much, like this one. So here we go.
Below is an explaination of my strat for the three target. I’ll go through why I do some things in my run, while also giving my thought process of changing strats mid-run to make the run faster.
Recommended to watch the video first and then read the text below, as it would make things that I’ve written more clear.
Starting location (Meeting Room) is an obvious one, the starting location that starts you right next to the first target, and with the right disguise being worn.
The first target (Security Guard) was of course the most simple one. Here I KOed the Security Guard, then shot the target, only thing to look out for is to not shoot the body of the target because that would make the two NPCs in the room to the right hear the shot.
I didn’t change my strat for this target as it’s the most obvious one to go with for me, it’s fast and it doesn’t require me to hide any of the two bodies.
I went up, grabbed a Wine Bottle, and put Marcus into a target lockdown since his timing would mean that I wouldn’t be able to kill the second target. This would also help me kill the second target without anyone finding him, as it would get rid of the Security Guard that stands in the entrance of the Maintenance Staircase.
Now to the second target (Elite Guard). Since we had to go below the helipad to grab the helicopter keys, an easy kill would be to just shoot the Elite Guard from below the helipad. But that would mean I had to find a disguise from another NPC, which I could’ve taken from near the server rack room, but I didn’t like that since Ingram’s guard could spot me changing disguise.
So I decided to make the second target come to me instead with three bullet shots. This would make him come to the location I’m at, which to my favour he ran through the Maintenance Staircase (hence why I had to panic Stuyvesant otherwise he would be near the Maintenance Staircase), and I could also take the Elite Guard disguise from the target.
I didn’t have to hide the body since no one was going to go through the area for about 40 seconds after I make the exit, so it was very safe.
This is also where I could KO a target with a Wine Bottle, so I had that objective done, which would save me time for the third target.
With the last target the (Chef), I knew I had to save some time on him since the first two kills are fairly simple and can be done fast.
At first I killed him on the spot, which required me to KO the Server, distract the Elite Guard next to the Chef, and then make sure to distract the Elite Guard that’s outside who’ll be able to see the Chef. This would only be fast if the Chef was not near the stove or his water bottle, he had to be behind the counter that would block the view from the Elite Guard that can see him from outside.
I didn’t like that strat on the chef, so I came up with a new strat.
I could panic the Server, which would then make the Chef investigate the panic. This strat was faster than the previous mentioned, so I stuck with it, as I could do everything from the room behind the kitchen.
It’s a very simple strat for the Chef once you figure out that you can make him come inside the room behind the Kitchen by having the Server be panicked.
That’s the targets down, head to the Helicopter exit and call it a day.
The final strat took me some time to figure out, since I had to take note of how to not have the second targets body get found (fortunately it only required me to panic Stuyvensant), and I also changed the strat for the last target since it caused issues depending on where the Chef stood.
*Note that the strat for the second target doesn’t work anymore after the update, the second target will now run through the Office Staircase instead of the Maintenance Staircase. I’ve talked more about that here https://www.hitmanforum.com/t/community-trials-2-0-40-in-prizes/8056/125

). Perhaps unsurprisingly another Speedrun Discord veteran. Have a watch of their fantastic run here
another trial coming later today
(1920x1080)
but that was borderline masochistic, so it does mean eliminate, you can KO anyone
[Stylish] complication offers many possibilities !!!
.When it says “another target’s disguise” , is it required that we actually change into the eliminated guy’s suit and leave him with underwear
