Hitman: Blood Money -10- A House of Cards

The CEO of Arabian Pharmaceutical Exports, a company suspected of manufacturing and exporting illegal biological agents, Saudi Sheikh Al-Khalifa is buying some DNA specimens tonight at the Shamal hotel from a due south African white supremacist named Hendrik Schmutz. To the deal the Sheikh will be bringing along one of his top scientists, Tariq Abdul Lateef, to deliver the payment and to confirm the authenticity of the goods.

47’s hired to kill all three men, the Sheikh Al-Khalifa, his employee Tariq Abdul Lateef and the seller Hendrik Schmutz, and optionally retrieve the case of untraceable blood diamonds before exiting the hotel to the back alley.

Up till now I haven’t spent any money on upgrading weapons or items in the game, in fact I haven’t even brought along anything but the default gear you can’t get rid of, but for this mission I upgraded the W2000 sniper rifle with light frame, bolt action, range type 2 and silencer type 2. Why? Well, obviously because I needed a silenced sniper rifle, silly.
It’s possible to beat the mission without any extra gear, but I’m not 100% certain there’s any way to do that and still get still Assassin rating. MIGHT be, as I do have sort of an idea or two how it could theoretically go down, but I’ve never succeeded to kill the Sheikh silently, and without his body being found, in any other way. Have rarely even tried, I like sniping so much I sometimes snipe all three men for fun.

One of my favourite levels.
