How to Speedrun Hitman Blood Money | Tutorial Part 2: Mechanics & Glitches

[@kapi_gmd5275]

i can already tell that these tutorials are going to be some of the best explained spedruning guides you can find on the internet

Q: Can the animation skip for fiber wire or unpacking sniper be done anywhere else? A: Yes. Fiber wire if your back is against the wall/an object. Sniper can also be done on a curb or midair. Q: Do bodies found by accidents count? A: No. They can be "found," but they are not recorded in the stats and do not count against SA Q: Can you ever get rid of a body found the same way you do witnesses? A: No. The only way to get rid of a body found is to restart the mission. Q: It says I got a body found on Statman, but it says 0 on the mission stat screen. A: Bodies that are knocked out but are still alive are counted as bodies found, just not in the stats, if that makes sense. Q: Does getting caught in a restricted area count as a witness? A: No. The only way to get a witness is if they actively see you in the act of the crime, ie, wielding a gun, planting a mine, violence, lockpicking, etc. Q: How come sometimes people don't care if you're throwing contraband even if they're looking right at you? A: It doesn't happen with guns as much, but items like syringes or mines have this area of effect where if you're far enough away from them, they don't witness you. They only care if you have said items out if you are in close proximity to them, or if you left-click while holding it. Q: How come sometimes a guard shooting me isn't a witness? A: These are what we like to call "Ghost Witnesses," NPCs who act like witnesses but are not counted as such. NPCs aren't entirely dumb; they can deduce if you're up to some sus activities, but again, if they technically did not see you in the act, they are not witnesses. See 4:18 Q: Do hostile guards find bodies? A: For the most part, no. They're too busy fighting 47. Q: Do you not have to dispose of the bodies? A: Not really. You just have to exit the level before they are found. Q: If leaving behind custom weapons loses SA, why do you not go back for the sniper briefcase? A: The briefcase itself is not a weapon. Only the sniper. Q: Don't you need the padded briefcase upgrade to bring the sniper? Isn't that only available much later in the game? A: Lol, no. Just try it. Q: Why do you never bring the Custom Shotgun or the M4? A: Those are placed in the ICA crate which is out of the way to get. All the other custom weapons spawn with us. Q: Can dogs be witnesses? A: Yes. Fortunately, there's no penalty for killing them. Never thought I'd say that. See 3:57

Captivating. By the way do you have any interest in trying to run BM levels in first person mode? The rules are you cannot take any action such as climbing or some executions which break from first person, except something like saving Smith with syringe which can't be helped. I made an attempt to clear all the levels some years ago (with real poor quality recordings lol) and I didn't manage the heaven & hell party and white house but I think they would be doable with new tactics.

@@hevitonttu2251 I’ve never understood why people keep requesting this tbh. It doesn’t seem challenging enough as a handicap in the same way Accidents only or Melee Weapons Only is

[@hevitonttu2251]

@@alphabrother6823 I didn't know it's requested that often but I guess people could enjoy it because you play the game from different perspective obviously. I might get back into it sometime later myself. First person only is actually extremely restrictive if you take it seriously and don't break from first person at all. No climbing or vaulting for most part, no strangling or melee executions, no disguises, no dragging bodies, no taking videotapes, no lock picking.. I think you can shoot, push/fist fight, pick up items, open doors normally, shoot locks and use bombs but that's about it. Not trying to get too much into semantics even tho BM speedrunning has a lot to do with details, but Accidents Only is quite forgiving way to play the game and Melee Weapons Only could be interesting if it meant always finding the melee weapon from each level to do the kill with. However, some levels don't have any melee weapons available I think and bringing in the Nail Gun just isn't the same for most people because it's a projectile weapon even if it says melee in game.

[@alphabrother6823]

@@hevitonttu2251 brother, I could probably piss out a first person run like it’s nothing on the first try. It would literally just be my normal Pro/SA run just with slower, more boring strategies Accidents only, meanwhile, is so absurdly difficult to get a clean run of that I haven’t even attempted one try because of how hard it is. Melee only took me an insane amount of effort to get it to sub-hour, and even with 15 minutes of time loss, I haven’t bothered to try and improve it because of how hard it is Btw, you’re like the 5th or 6th person to argue with me over using the nailer

[@hevitonttu2251]

@@alphabrother6823 Then I guess I asked the right person to attempt the first person run if you consider it would not be a challenge at all, or a challenge to do it under certain time limit :P But I see your point that you are not up for a challenge which doesn't sound fun. I started to imagining the accident only full run in my head and while most of the targets can be killed by accidents on routine, the few exceptions are harder ones. I think I read about the whole nailer thing lol anyway. The most impressive challenge I saw was I think CJ doing the shotgun only challenge where he was not allowed to drop the shotgun once it was picked up until the targets are dead. Naturally, doing full runs vs single level at time are quite different things.

One thing you missed: Human shields can't find bodies and they can't witness you.

[@HikaruCh.]

Detonator + sniper worked for me with SPAS on A Vintage Year and Curtains Down too; gonna try some of these later, thanks for the tips~

[@Crazyoldman84]

Learned something new thanks 👍🏼

[@Shahroz_A1]

Great video

[@jonathan19947]

Yay the next part

[@ryleynadhir4685]

Waow, you really did do it. Good job and thank you

[@lucianogallicchio8957]

And now we have this masterpiece on iPhone

[@lancergt1000]

1:43 man human shield seems kinda broken doesn't it? No wonder it got removed in World of Assasination It KOs way faster than the syringe, you can move the NPC around before knocking them out unlike a syringe, and it is unlimited use unlike a syringe

[@deadspace4755]

Can the SMG distraction can be replaced by a full auto silverballer? Also why SMG? Because of the full auto? It reminds me of the new hitmans you can make NPCs ignore you with gunfire(silenced) How does it work on bloos money? Mechanically, the AI ignores player?

[@AlphaBM354]

the silverballer is usually silenced, SMGs usually aren't. the distraction effect only works with loud guns. it can work with a silverballer, but you'd need to not have a silencer and no silenced ammo. all that is needed for the distraction effect to work is 1 loud bullet, so it doesn't need to be full auto. what's happening is the enemies hear the sound, so they will go investigate it. as long as they don't see 47 after 2 seconds, they ignore him being in a restricted area

[@404waffles]

im not a speedrunner but i love abusing game mechanics, gonna use these for a pro/SA playthru

[@asdasfasd1984]

another sizzling apha classic

[@vasyliy1]

why in speedruns dont use slp.40 pistol, he a lightweight than silverballer?

[@AlphaBM354]

You can only bring one Handgun/Pistol at a time into the map. If we brought the slp pistol, we couldn’t bring the silverballer

[@oneforall3690]

i'm read on wiki there's a glitch called suit glitch. how to use suit glitch ??

[@AlphaBM354]

i have no idea what this is referring to. i just read it on the wiki, and it's not even a glitch, just a feature of the suit. you'll notice that a lot of times when im trespassing and/or getting shot at, i don't lose my SA rating cuz I'm in my suit. however, if i were to do the same thing in a disguise, i would get a cover blown.

[@lukalzu]

Acho legal nocautear os npcs em primeira pessoa, é rápido

[@crazyandfunystuf]

Names are for friends.

[@jonathan19947]

So I don't need one
