The Mercenary who stands under the chandelier that 47 shoots down using the winch in Yates’ bedroom in Mendoza. I really don’t like doing non-target kills, but I’ll always allow myself Red Guns if Diana is busy doing her thing with a Letter Opener and I can provide the assist by dropping a chandelier on that mook.
I used to find the woman in Chongqing asking for the girl annoying. I can understand if people use the riverside walkway starting point a lot. (There is a balcony starting point.)
But I’m starting to like the conversation she has with Agent 47. Usually when Agent 47 speaks to someone, it’s related to a mission story. I like that Agent 47 had a talk with a random npc who had nothing to do with the targets. I wish there was something like this in Sapienza
Sapienza, the leftmost guy fishing on the speedboat pier.
Whenever I’m doing a run where Silent Assassin doesn’t matter and I take that exit, I always kick him into the water, before running to the speedboat giggling like an idiot
My most killed non-target is probably the guy in the laundry room on Dubai. Doesn’t matter what I’m doing I will enter that room and kill him on purpose, I haven’t even made him a target on a custom contract yet because I like killing him every time.
For me, it’s probably Lucy Philips in Dubai
« Cornelia Stuyvesant ! Oh you’re here ! How wonderful ! ». I walk past her every single time I do the mission and now I think this dialogue is stuck in my brain or has merged with my DNA
So sometimes i bring a good old shotgun in a briefcase and shoot her like 5 or 6 times
Judge Strickland in Hitman Absolution was one of my most killed non-target NPCs. I typically took him out from the back of the courtroom with a silenced firearm and amazing nobody catches me (sometimes) nor even knew right away that someone died. However the baliff and the female court recorder heard the impact but didn’t know what it was. The bailiff was like “stay here I’ll check it out” and the court recorder was like “uh-uh, ain’t none of my business” and sat back down to do her thing as the guard investigated. Guard spotted the deceased judge and grabbed his radio as he said “oh man, we’ve got a dead body.” The female court recorder immediatly stood right back and watched as the bailiff checked the judge’s body. He confirmed the death over the radio, the court recorder ran into her office crying in terror, and all the guards in the court house gradually go on permenant alert.
Another was taking out Sergeant Myers in the abandoned library by throwing the knife which Blake Dexter left in 47’s hand to frame him for the maid’s murder. The Rookie reports that he just witnessed a murder, checks the Sarge’s body, and then everyone went on alert - well higher alert anyways.
One of my non-targets to eliminate before the later games came out was my contact who provides me with the powerful M195 sniper rifle in The Motorcade Interception in Hitman 2 Silent Assassin. I end up turning that weapon on him so I won’t have to pay him for it. Of course the shot alerts the guards and I end up paying with my life so…
someone suggested to have additional measures be taken into account for the final rating of a job.
While I personally wouldn’t want that, I though it might be a cool statistic just to look at.
I think a counter and a separate statistics page for highest amount of eliminations across all NPCs, could be an interesting idea, too. At least then I would be able to answer the question
