It's a straightforward assignment, 47. This article is a stub and is in need of expansion. You can help the Hitman Wiki by expanding it.

Hello 47. We've got some business at the wiki. This article, or a section of this article, does not meet wiki standards. Please improve this article so that it meets our standards.

The difficulty level determines how tough the game is. The concept is expanded further in Hitman: Blood Money that introduced 4 difficulty levels. Generally, higher levels mean more intelligent enemies, lesser health points, limited saves, lesser information shown on map, etc.
