Just make sure your accident explosion kills the target properly. So if you happen to knock out a few bystanders with an accident explosion that kills the target, you will keep SA. Note that as of current SA rules, although an accidental explosion knockout on a nontarget will not void SA, an accidental explosion knockout on a target will void SA.

Non-accidental knockouts and kills will always void SA if body is found, but accidental kills will not void SA.

Knocked down will never count against SA. Now, explosions in Hitman 2 have three blast zones- lethal, knocked out, and knocked down (where an NPC is knocked down temporarily but gets up after a few seconds). Vehicle explosion (car, motorcycle, scooter, tractor, snowmobile, etc) Propane explosion (both little portable gray tanks and the stationary red ones) When I refer to 'SA' in this guide from here on, I mean Silent Assassin rating.Įxplosions/ Explosive devices- The BasicsĪccident explosion kills in Hitman 2 are valued compared to other explosions because they don't void SA, and they usually mean one of two things. I made it very thorough, so veterans should feel free to scroll down and skip past the 'Basics' to the 'More Advanced Stuff' section.Īlso you can get the basic idea by reading the summary table at the bottom if you don't want to read my juicy prose.īefore I get started, I recommend any new players to check item unlock list as well as silent assassin bodies found rules (credit to theKotti/ Hardware).ĭisclaimer that most of this guide is on propane tanks because that's the most versatile way to use explosions and keep Silent Assassin.Īlso didn't include all explosion causing devices- just ones I have practiced with in context of Silent Assassin rating. After making this guide, I can understand why the legendary streamer CJ on Youtube often says he has a hard time articulating his game knowledge- there's just so much to cover. I've poured my heart and soul into it so any feedback or questions are appreciated. This is a guide I have made after a lot of playing with explosions.
