Follow this detailed walkthrough for Hitman: Absolution's Part 96, guiding you through taking down cops in a specific order to acquire the Pitcher Playstyle and complete the challenge.
Walkthrough
- 1Start the section by initiating the prisoner beatdown. Sidestep right to the 'Keep Out' sign and take cover. A Cop will leave the scene.
- 2Wait for the prisoner beating to stop. One Cop leaves the cell, another cleans the sink.
- 3Cop #1: This Cop is looking at a cell. Throw a Shiv at him.
- 4After killing Cop #1, wait for the Cop at the sink to finish and return to the prisoner. Sneak to Cop #1's position, grab the Shiv, change into his Disguise, and hide his body in a nearby Closet.
- 5Switch to your Silenced Silverballer. Aim at the bottom of the cell door near the blood pool and fire one shot to attract Cop #2. Hide in the Closet.
- 6Cop #2 will investigate the blood pool. Exit the Closet when he reaches it and throw the Shiv at him. Leave the Shiv in Cop #2 to avoid accidentally dropping it later.
- 7After killing Cop #2, grab the Wrench near the Closet. Crouch over Cop #2 to pick up the Shiv.
- 8Aim at the chair near the Entry Point and throw the Wrench at it. As the Wrench is in the air, pick up the Shiv.
- 9Cop #3 is sitting in the cell, and Cop #4 is standing over the dead Prisoner. When the Wrench hits the floor, Cop #3 will investigate. Throw the Shiv at him when he gets near the Wrench. Drag Cop #3's body to where Cop #2 is.
- 10Grab the Wrench again. Go back to Cop #3's position to pick up the Shiv. Throw the Wrench at the chair again and pick up the Shiv from the dead Cop.
- 11This time, Cop #4 will see the blood pool and investigate. Throw the Shiv at him when he gets close to it.
- 12If done correctly, blood pools will be by the Entry Point, not on the stairs.
- 13Drag Cop #3 halfway up the stairs and drop him. Do the same for Cop #4 after retrieving the Shiv from him. Drag Cop #2 and the Prisoner up the stairs as well.
- 14Go to the Closet and drop the Shiv in front of it. Grab the Wrench and switch to your Silenced Silverballer.
- 15Peek around the corner to see the Control Room. Fire one round at the base of the wall to attract Cop #5. Stand by the Closet and ready the Wrench.
- 16When Cop #5 nears where you fired, throw the Wrench at the abutment to the right of the cell door. Quickly grab the Shiv and hide in the Closet.
- 17Cop #5 will investigate the blood pool by the cell door, then run to the bodies. Exit the Closet when he runs past and Throw Kill him by the bodies.
- 18If successful, you should now have the [Pitcher] Playstyle. You may also acquire the [Brutus] Playstyle if you haven't already.
- 19Grab the Shiv and drag Cop #5's body with the others. Repeat the luring and killing technique for Cops #6 and #7.
- 20Head to the Control Room area. Cop #8 is inside, and Cop #9 is by the Gate. Hide in the nook between the wooden Container and the abutment.
- 21Wait for the conversation between Cop #8 and Skurky to end. Cop #8 will start his patrol.
- 22Wait for Cop #8 to stand by the button and Cop #9 to be at the corner. Go to the doorway and Throw Kill Cop #8. His body should fall where Cop #9 cannot see it.
- 23Quickly retrieve the Shiv and return behind the boxes.
- 24Wait for Cop #9 to stand by the gate. As he moves to the corner, get behind him and Throw Kill him with the Shiv just as he stops.
- 25Get the Shiv, open the Gate, and proceed.
- 26NOTE: If Cop #9 hears you killing Cop #8, go around to the other side. After finding the body, he will stand outside. Shoot the wall corner near the Container to lure him away. Loop around to re-enter the room and retrieve the Shiv. Wait for him to return to his standing position, then sneak up and Throw Kill him.
- 27The last Cop, Cop #10, is in the small room with the Evidence. Sneak up and attack him to complete the Challenge.
Tips
- Leaving the Shiv in Cop #2 prevents you from accidentally dropping it when swapping for the Wrench, which can alert other Cops.
- The randomness of the level can cause Cops to investigate dropped items. Leaving the Shiv in a target mitigates this.
- Ensure bodies are hidden to avoid detection.
- The blood pools' location is crucial for later steps.
- [Pitcher] Playstyle
