Save
ammunition
If you find a room
being patrolled by a guard or worker, wait until he leaves, then turn off the
light switch. When he returns, he will immediately move to the light switch to
turn it on. At this point, his back should be turned to you. Quietly sneak up
and either grab or punch him without firing your weapon.
Faster
manual lockpick
When using the
manual lockpick, instead of rotating it slowly as the game suggests, press the
Analog-stick in one of the four diagonal corners, as the "rumble"
will always be in one of those directions. This is much quicker.
Avoiding
detection
Always try to stay
in shadows or bushes; crouch when walking around; try to take someone hostage
before shooting them; always try to use your night vision/thermo goggles just
to check to see if there is anything to get around you; and drag bodies into
dark corners.
Hiding
You cannot be seen
when hiding in dark places. Shoot the lights to make it dark, but make sure
that there are no guards around. Do not stay in the light too long.
Dropping
down from high locations silently
If jumping at a
place that is a long way down, you will probably die or get hurt. If there is a
guard nearby, try to jump down on him so that he takes the damage. Note: You
can go into the silent drop while hitting him, so nobody will hear him scream.
If there are no guards nearby, go into the silent drop, and when you touch the
ground, quickly hold Jump. If done correctly, you will only get about 25% of
the damage that you would normally receive by such a drop. You can also land
quieter by pressing B (Crouch) immediately before you hit the ground.
Retrieving
Sticky Camera
To retrieve a
Sticky Camera that is too high to reach, shoot it with the sniper rifle or the
handgun. It will fall to the ground.
Knockouts
with Sticky Cameras
Use the following
trick to have essentially infinite ammunition for knocking out enemies. This
does not work until after you have found the SC-20K and have Sticky Cameras. If
you are close to an enemy and want to knock him out, shoot him in the head with
a Sticky Camera. It will knock out your enemy, and you can then pick the camera
up off of the ground. For a convenient attack on a guard or character without
being noticed, fire a Sticky Camera (not a Diversion Camera) at your targets'
head. Due to gravity, aim slightly higher, near the top of the head or above
it. This saves bullets, eliminates the risk of being seen, and you can pick up
the cameras and use them again.
Flares
If you are pinned
down by a turret, throw a flare across it. The turret will be distracted for a
moment, which may be long enough for you to sneak behind it and disable it.
Thermal
goggle keypad readings
To read the heat
signature on a keypad, you can either walk up to the keypad and look at it with
the heat goggles on, use sniper mode at a distance with the heat goggles on, or
activate the keypad and turn on your heat goggles there. The order of the
buttons will be as follows, based on color: Deep Blue, Blue, Light Blue, Green,
Light Green, Yellow, Orange, Red. For example, if you had a Deep Blue button at 1,
a Light Green button at 3, a Light Blue button at 4, and a Orange-Ish Red
button at 6, the code would be 1-4-3-6. This trick where you use your thermal
goggles to read the code punched in by a guard is extremely useful, but only
available in the second Chinese Embassy mission as the current temperature in
the Embassy is low enough for you to notice a difference on the buttons that were
pressed by the guard. The buttons go from a deep red color to a deep blue
color. Look for the button that is slightly different from most of the other
buttons. Then, look for a lighter blue button and so on. following green,
yellow, orange and finally red.
Blocking
doors
If you have someone
chasing you, run out a door, and when it closes, stand in front of the door for
awhile. The guard will sometimes try to open it before he gives up. Note: The
door must open towards you, and not towards the enemy. The game can crash
sometimes when you do this. If the guard starts shooting at the door, you must
open it quickly. Otherwise, the game will glitch and you will be invisible to
the enemy and no event triggers will start.
Disabling
Wall Mines
Slowly go up to a
Wall Mine. It will flash red and green at an even pace. To disable this, you
have to press Action when it flashes green. If it becomes red the instant
before you press Action, it will explode. The way to always do this safely is
to hold Action button when the "Disable Wall Mine" selection appears.
Then, if it is green, release the button. If it is red on the screen, move the
selection up to "Back To Game" and try again.
Escaping
a room full of soldiers
Take a sticky
camera or smoke grenades and throw it near where the most guards are located.
For the sticky camera, a control bar that tells you how to make a noise or use
smoke will appear at the bottom of the screen. Throw the smoke grenade and the
smoke should knock out some guards. When the smoke appears from the grenade(s),
it is your chance to run for it.
Knock
out an enemy
To knock out an
enemy without killing him, equip the sticky camera and shoot it at his head.
Aim slightly above the head to compensate for gravity. After he is down, pick
up the sticky camera and use it again. You can also throw bottles to knock out
guards. You must aim and hit them in the head.
Taking
out two guards
Shoot a sticky
camera near the guard closest to you. When he approaches, use the gas to knock
him out. The other guard will approach to investigate. You must either shoot
him with a non lethal round if you cannot have casualties, or take him out with
a head shot if killing is sanctioned. This has to be done correctly or he will
revive the guard that you knocked out.
Hiding
bodies
After you have
disposed of enemies in an area, make sure that you still hide them, even though
no one is nearby. Before going to another checkpoint, the alarm may ring, and
it will say that a body was found. Try to hide all bodies in hidden areas for
best results.
Luring
your enemy
To do this, find a
can or glass bottle to pick up. Once obtained, move to a location, preferably
dark. While hidden, throw the can or bottle to an open area with an enemy
nearby. When thrown, the enemy will wonder what happened and walk towards that
location. After you have drawn him out, you can take him out for an easy kill.

Glitch:
Stand on Light
When your in the
police station where the jail cells are, go up to the wall and do a wall
split.There then should be a light in front of you fall towards it and you'll
climb up the light. This is a fun glitch to do.
