How to Speedrun Hitman Blood Money | Tutorial Part 2: Mechanics & Glitches

I get a lot of questions about how I'm able to maintain Silent Assassin on certain levels or how a specific strategy I use works. In this video, I try to go over some of the most basic ones, including distractions, briefcase glitches, animation skips, how the SA rating works, accidents, etc. I didn't cover everything, so I'll try to preemptively answer some of them here: Q: Can the animation skip for fiber wire or unpacking sniper be done anywhere else? A: Yes. Fiber wire if your back is against the wall/an object. Sniper can also be done on a curb or midair. Q: Do bodies found by accidents count? A: No. They can be "found," but they are not recorded in the stats and do not count against SA Q: Can you ever get rid of a body found the same way you do witnesses? A: No. The only way to get rid of a body found is to restart the mission. Q: It says I got a body found on Statman, but it says 0 on the mission stat screen. A: Bodies that are knocked out but are still alive are counted as bodies found, just not in the stats, if that makes sense. Q: Does getting caught in a restricted area count as a witness? A: No. The only way to get a witness is if they actively see you in the act of the crime, ie, wielding a gun, planting a mine, violence, lockpicking, etc. Q: How come sometimes people don't care if you're throwing contraband even if they're looking right at you? A: It doesn't happen with guns as much, but items like syringes or mines have this area of effect where if you're far enough away from them, they don't witness you. They only care if you have said items out if you are in close proximity to them, or if you left-click while holding it. Q: How come sometimes a guard shooting me isn't a witness? A: These are what we like to call "Ghost Witnesses," NPCs who act like witnesses but are not counted as such. NPCs aren't entirely dumb; they can deduce if you're up to some sus activities, but again, if they technically did not see you in the act, they are not witnesses. See 4:18 Q: Do hostile guards find bodies? A: For the most part, no. They're too busy fighting 47. Q: Do you not have to dispose of the bodies? A: Not really. You just have to exit the level before they are found. Q: If leaving behind custom weapons loses SA, why do you not go back for the sniper briefcase? A: The briefcase itself is not a weapon. Only the sniper. Q: Don't you need the padded briefcase upgrade to bring the sniper? Isn't that only available much later in the game? A: Lol, no. Just try it. Q: Why do you never bring the Custom Shotgun or the M4? A: Those are placed in the ICA crate which is out of the way to get. All the other custom weapons spawn with us. Q: Can dogs be witnesses? A: Yes. Fortunately, there's no penalty for killing them. Never thought I'd say that. See 3:57 Watch Live at www.twitch.tv/alphabrother
