None. I never use coins and many of their videos likely use them. Well except to use the phone or take a cab in Mumbai but never for distraction.

Thatās exactly what I mean. There are so many things that can picked up and thrown. Most of my methods though donāt involve throwing things for distraction. Itās one those self imposed restrictions.

Yeah, if the game really does require a distraction at some point, itāll be there on the map, like electricity switches. The whole ādistractingā thing has lead to exploitation of game mechanics, all these speedruns rely on wallshots or shooting a guard in the legs so he falls and canāt see youā¦ i mean whatās so silent assassin about shooting everyone in the knee.

I like Freezeās guides a lot, but most of the time I watch them after Iāve already completed things for myself or if itās simply a challenge that I canāt be bothered to figure out on my own. I just enjoy his play style as itās similar to my own, so often I go āwhy didnāt I think of thatā while watching. The bonus to his guides is that they are very beginner friendly, so even if the methods arenāt the most efficient they are generally unlikely to fail.

Neither of them for me. I hate being forced to watch a video when it would be so much faster for me to just skim/read. Usually, if I need to look up a hint, itās not about how do I do an entire escalation or how do I complete the entire map. Itās about where a specific thing is, how to get by just this one guard, or how to solve just this one puzzle. I donāt want to watch an entire video for that.
I am a bit of an extremist on that though. If Iām reading the news and click a headline and it goes to a video page, that tab is closed pretty much by default. I watch as few videos as possible if thereās a text-based alternative.

Neither. I use HitmanSeries and HowToHitman. AJās guides arenāt really that good.
Freezes videos are too long + the allegations = no thank you.

i donāt like the way AJ cheeses it in his runs.
for his haven island, fibre wire only run he literally just put an emetic mine in the briefcase and triggered the mine next to stephen bradley 
this community needs to stop using cheap OP items and have some pride
The āHitman Seriesā YouTube channel is the best Hitman walkthrough creator, IMO.

Same here. Iāve been using their walkthroughs for some difficult challenges recently (mostly related to Sniper Assassin). Theyāre short, quiet, and easy.
In the past Iāve used Freeze, but Iāve since drifted away from that.

Yes, heās been great since before I found his channel, and that was around feb/march 2020. Always has updates from IOI in community posts as well. Thank you, @Joe9411.

Back when I was starting Hitman 2016, I used MrFreeze for help with a lot of the challenges, since I didnāt really have a clue what I was doing back then (Absolution was the only Hitman game Iād played at the time). Having someone visibly walk you through it was helpful, and he even taught me some new stuff.
Nowadays though, Iāve played the games a lot more and pretty much know the mechanics upside down and inside out, so I donāt really need the help anymore (plus, Iād rather just try and figure things out for myself). Itās rare Iāll get stuck on something, but if it does happen, Iāll usually just look up a written guide to get an outline of what to do, then just go do it myself. That said, I did still use Freeze for some of the Sniper Assassin challenges since some of them are so specific and unintuitive, plain old text isnāt gonna cut it. In that case, I needed to see it done.
I know thereās a bit of controversy surrounding him, but Iāll always be grateful for the leg-up he gave me in the early days; even if, ironically, my skills have probably surpassed his by this point.

Another to chuck in the mix is BADABOOOM. He seems to concentrate on Featured Contracts
