The briefing

About this game

Hitman: Contracts follows Agent 47 after he is shot and left dying. The game unfolds through flashbacks to past missions, including some scenarios previously seen in Hitman: Codename 47.

Players undertake assassination missions around the world, using disguises and stealth to evade suspicion or choosing to engage enemies with open fire. Each completed mission receives a rating ranging from Mass Murderer to Silent Assassin.

Achieving a Silent Assassin rating awards a special weapon, such as dual sawed-off shotguns, which can then be used to replay previously completed missions.
