Hitman: Absolution Assassin Techniques Guide

Earning a target score in every chapter’s stage in Hitman: Absolution will unlock a special Assassin Technique. These techniques gran various bonuses like improved healing rates and recovery time, reduced recoil and improvements in handling specific weapons. The abilities are divided into 3 levels for a total of 30 techniques: don’t worry about missing some of them, there are more than thirty stages and you’ll have plenty of occassions to learn all of them. To gain the best points per mission you’ll have to complete all objects during the mission themselves: in doing so every action you’ll undertake during the mission will net you way more points. Also, to learn all these abilities as soon as you can, you have to avoid doing any negative action which will ultimately impact your overall score.  So you can simply decide to rush through the missions or just take your time and do everything like a real hitman would do.
