* Get used to | * Get used to messing up. It will happen. Gun everyone down and flee in a clown suit if that's what it takes to get the job done. Eventually you'll learn the ins and outs of the level, and then you can worry about that precious Silent Assassin rating. | ||
* NPCs in Blood Money have fragile spines and poor equilibrium- you can kill anyone with an accident by pushing them over railings or down even small inclines. If they complete a full turn over the railing/low wall/whatever a script will kill them instantly before they even hit the ground. Accident kills are the "cleanest" way to play Blood Money, and with many targets, pushing is the only accident available. | * NPCs in Blood Money have fragile spines and poor equilibrium- you can kill anyone with an accident by pushing them over railings or down even small inclines.

* Your melee skills are very useful. You can disarm and knock out any enemy by getting right up to them with empty hands and clicking; it makes 47 do a sicknasty headbutt. | * Your melee skills are very useful.

* You can throw any knife you can pick up by holding the G key. Thrown knives will instantly, silently, kill any enemy... if you hit them, anyway. The knife has a bit of an arc to it. | * You can throw any knife you can pick up by holding the G key. Thrown knives will instantly, silently, kill any enemy... if you hit them, anyway.
