Master Manhunt's 'Strapped For Cash' levels with this guide. Learn optimal headshot tactics, enemy luring, and tranquilizer dart usage to save your family.

This section covers tactics for the 'Strapped For Cash' levels in Manhunt, emphasizing headshots to avoid aggravating enemies. Body shots will only make them more aggressive.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    For Head Shots: Always aim for headshots. Body shots will only aggravate enemies.
  2. 2
    Restaurant Area: Find painkillers behind and inside the restaurant via the back door. Proceed through the restaurant until you see a red arrow indicating the exit. The left path leads to the toilet block; familiarize yourself with hiding spots here.
  3. 3
    Ambush: As you follow the red arrow, you will be ambushed by 2 hunters. Retreat to the shadows near the toilet block and eliminate them.
  4. 4
    Exit and Save: Follow the arrow to the exit and SAVE YOUR GAME.
  5. 5
    STRAPPED FOR CASH - LEVEL 1: Starkweather has captured your family, threatening execution for each family member spotted. You must save at least one family member.
  6. 6
    Initial Encounter: Step into the building and lure the nearest hunter inside. Kill him. Take the wire and exit through the double doors in the locker room.
  7. 7
    Second Hunter: Follow the left wall past the columns and hide in the shadows. Bang on the wall to lure out the second hunter. If he spots you, he will kill your brother.
  8. 8
    Rescue Brother: Kill the hunter and rescue your brother, who is imprisoned in the room ahead on the left. Take the shard of glass to cut him free. Collect painkillers.
  9. 9
    Enclosure Encounter: Return outside and study the area ahead. On your right is an enclosure with 4 hunters. Follow the high wall on your left and hide in the shadows near the dumpster.
  10. 10
    Luring Hunters: Bang on the chainlink fence to draw out as many hunters as safely possible and kill them one by one. Once their numbers are reduced, enter the enclosure and use the tranquilizer rifle to kill the remaining hunters. Painkillers are located on the far side of the enclosure near the tyre swing.
  11. 11
    Third and Fourth Hunters: Cross the enclosure and step onto the cement path. Painkillers are at the end of the left path above the tunnel, but it's not safe to retrieve them yet. Creep to the right, hugging the left wall into a dark corner. From here, lure the 2 hunters to their deaths using the tranquilizer rifle. It is essential they don't spot you, or your sister will be executed.
  12. 12
    Rescue Sister: Take the revolver from a hunter's corpse, rescue your sister, and follow her through the tunnel to the save point. SAVE YOUR GAME.
  13. 13
    STRAPPED FOR CASH - LEVEL 2: Before entering the building, locate the tranquilizer gun outside.
  14. 14
    Father's Rescue: Enter the building and peek through the boards at your captive father. Equip the revolver and kill the hunter with a headshot when he passes the window. Rescue your father and take his gun.
  15. 15
    Zoo Area: Walk up the wooden ramp, smash the window, and step outside. This area has 3 hunters who must be destroyed before you can enter the giant domed cage where your sister is held hostage.
