You can only get this if they are currently not looking for you (they have the ? above their head). Either having them walk past you while hiding in a background object OR jumping just above their heads and them grappling onto something. It seams that you can only get it in 2 ways (that I managed at least). I managed to get 50k+ points on the first mission basically doing all of the above on most of the guards.Ībout the undetected thingy.
You can restock items by re-visiting any flag which allows you to re-spec on the map, they will give you full inventory again.Įdit: I just tested doing at well as I could (point wise) on the very first mission. There are some other place as well that count, that aren't vents, they generally look like enclosed areas where you can drop a corpse.įor the elite guards and stalkers it's a bit tricker to get a lot of points by fancy stuff, you basically need to have items to stun them, and then kill them and hide their bodies.
Hide Body = Hide their the guards body in a side vent or drop them down a vent or toss them out of world. Terrorized = Make the guard spot a corpse dangling from a grapple hook or the much easier one, make him spot a corpse when you are using the Nightmare costume.įancy Kill = Fancy kills are killing through a vent, making them panic and shoot their buddies, using any ninja tool that kills, might be more ways. Another trick on some guards that don't stand close to any of those, is if there is a grappling hook spot next to the guard you can usually get this bonus by standing close to him then grappling over his head.ĭistracted = Use a distraction item or a lamp (I think it has to be breakable). Undetected = Having a guard walk past you hiding in a door/potted plant/(dangling from you grappling as well I think) or similar. Ofc with most guards you can't manage the petafecta, but the max points/guard you can get is 1500 points. There are also achievements for taking the stealth route.
There is at least one outfit (I only have three outfits unlocked) which does not allow you to kill. The developers do include other encouragements for taking the stealth route. So yes, it is still more profitable in terms of sheer point numbers to kill everyone you can. The average number of points for each kill is lower than 850, but is likely still higher than the average for sneaking around. However, not all guards can be killed using them and not all bodies can be hidden. Once the special skills are unlocked you can indeed get up to 850 points for a single kill. When first playing the game, sneaking may be the only options a player has. The special kills that give you more brutality options and more points all have to be unlocked. You get a bonus for finishing the level undetected even if you use distractions, so adding Distracted, Undetected, and Terrorized bonuses to the points for getting kills and hiding bodies is silly - you can get those points regardless of whether or not you kill the guards. Is this the case, or are there other bonuses/points I can get from being especially sneaky and not very stabby? It seems to me like the best idea is to murder everyone and hide their bodies. That leaves us with 850 points for a kill (or even 650 in the worst case where I don't get "fancy" about it and just stab him through the neck while his back is turned) versus ~550 for leaving him undisturbed. These bonuses can occur either way, though, so they're not useful to this discussion. Stacked on top of this, I could have gotten "Undetected" (+200) by hiding in the room with him previously, and/or "Distracted" (+150) for getting him to look the other way by breaking a light for example.
If I avoid him instead, though, I just get +400 at the end of the level, plus if I manage to do the entire level perfectly I might get +3000, but with 20 or more guards per level, this works out to 150 or fewer points per guard.
