Like Hitman, these contracts are built with replayability in mind. The design is clearly inspired by IO's recent Hitman trilogy. The puzzle-like structure of these missions elevates Contracts 2 beyond a simple head-popping simulator. They aren't simply a case of finding the target, popping their braincase, and moving on: Each long shot objective is an elaborate sniping puzzle where you use your sharpshooting skills to manipulate both enemies and the environment. These involve slipping through guard patrols to reach designated Overlook positions, lofty perches from which you snipe at targets over a kilometre away. But newly introduced to Contracts 2 are "Long Shot" contracts. "Classic" contracts are familiar infiltration tasks, where you use a combination of sniping and stealth to physically sneak into locations to assassinate targets and sabotage equipment. Some locations you visit, such as a giant medieval castle that has both an inner and outer fort, would form the entire level in any other game.Ĭontracts 2's missions are divided into two categories. Each Region is a vast expanse of meticulously crafted terrain that includes multiple objectives and various paths between them. So big, in fact, they're referred to in-game as "Regions," which is a fair appraisal. This may not sound like much, but Contracts 2's missions are enormous. First kill in the new game popped the Sniper Elite achievement.īest advice is to keep track of rounds and kills and if an achievement is not popping, end the match and set up another.Your effort to dismantle Rashida's regime is spread across five missions. We found that only the host can pop the kill achievements - the kills count for the other person, but will not pop until they get one more kill / type of kill in a match they hostĪlso, the achievement for 100 MP kills did not pop for me until I backed out of the game I was hosting and set up a new game after getting over 100 kills. You can do 500 pts and simply have 3 kills / round end or get 5 bodyshot / melee kills Therefore, 5 headshot kills = 1000 pts and round end. Score is up to you - Each kill is 100 pts, and headshots are an additional 100 pts Map - Resort (my preference - seems more open and smaller than Sarajevo


My partner and I had used the following settings (set to maximize achievements with the winning of rounds):

I just got this achievement last night and this and the other achievements involving kills were glitchy.Īs DarkSephiroth states, these can be done in a 1v1 private match.
