Hitman: Blood Money silent Assassin guide: witnesses, accidents, cameras and evidence
Plan a clean Blood Money mission and understand why the final rating can differ from a quiet-looking escape.
Edition covered
The original 2006 Blood Money campaign, pictured in its original PC Steam release. Later HD releases and Blood Money Reprisal interface additions are outside this guide.
Observe before committing to the route
A clean attempt begins with the target’s routine, the available access and a usable exit. Walk the public areas first and identify a safe place to change disguise before altering the level.
| Check | Goal | Practical habit |
|---|---|---|
| Witnesses | No one observes incriminating actions | Wait for a private opportunity |
| Non-targets | Avoid unnecessary casualties | Use bypasses or nonlethal access |
| Surveillance | No camera evidence remains | Retrieve the tape if recorded |
| Suit and custom weapons | Avoid leaving personal evidence | Plan a return route before extraction |
| Bodies | Prevent disqualifying discoveries | Understand the accident exception |
Treat accidents and poison differently
The game’s accident classification has special rating behavior for discovered bodies. A direct poison-syringe kill is not automatically an accident, so do not assume every quiet elimination follows the same rules.
| Problem | Why it matters | Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| Quiet kill in a busy room | The body can still be found | Use a private route or suitable accident |
| Poison assumed to be an accident | Classification differs | Plan body discovery separately |
| Camera ignored | No immediate alarm is required | Retrieve surveillance evidence |
| Exit reached in a disguise | Suit may remain as evidence or incur cost | Return for the suit where required |
Remove surveillance evidence if recorded
A camera can record 47 even when nobody challenges him. Find and retrieve the relevant surveillance tape if the route passes through camera coverage, then keep the exit itself discreet.
Review evidence and the difficulty setting
Higher difficulties impose stricter evidence expectations. Recover the starting suit and custom weapons when pursuing a clean run, and review the report for witnesses or bodies rather than guessing from the newspaper alone.
