This article is about the hideout that appears in Hitman: Blood Money. For the hideout in Hitman: Contracts, see Training Area. |
The Hideout is the training level of Hitman: Blood Money. It is Agent 47's hideaway between the assignments and an improvised training area to practice firing and store collected firearms.
Description[]
The Hideout is located in a severely ruined basement. Entering from the street is a staircase that goes down to Forty-seven's improvised living quarters with a carpet, a wooden table and a chair, a picture frame, and a pet canary in a cage. A small wall section is freshly painted with pink paint. There are buckets with paint and a painting brush on dirty newspapers on the floor, meaning Agent 47 was trying to decorate the room.
There are two doorways - one is open and leads down into the basement hallway containing all of the firearms collected from the missions, and the other is bricked up. Through the doorway, in the hallway, there are tables with different ammo. At the end of the hallway, there are paper targets on cardboard boxes and a stairwell that leads further down the basement. However, it is completely blocked and is impassable.
To the left of the paper targets area is an improvised shooting range filled with objects to shoot at - vases, bottles, and explosive canisters.
Firearm Collection[]
The Hideout contains gun racks with collected weapons to use for training or to bring on missions. The gun racks are on the pillars in the basement hallway. Weapons are added to the collection if they were in inventory or were put into the ICA crate before exiting the level. Melee weapons cannot be added.
Five basic firearms available to Forty-seven: "Silverballer(s)", SMG Tactical, M4, SP12 Shotgun, and W2000 Sniper are in the collection from the start and change their look when upgraded.
Mark III can be collected but can be obtained only by cheating or save-editing - it will be placed on a pillar together with a Shotgun and M14. Custom 1911, Prop WWI Pistol, and the Nail Gun cannot be stored. However, the Nail Gun can be collected and will become available in mission planning.
In Death of a Showman, all found weapons need to be put in the second ICA crate to be added.
Notes[]
- There are no NPCs - a canary that cannot be interacted with and rats that can be shot at and killed are the only living creatures apart from Agent 47.
- No disguises are available.
- There is no mission briefing and planning.
- There is no intel.
- The loading screen has no visuals apart from the name of the level.
- It is possible to exit the level through the staircase door that leads to the street.
Trivia[]
- In the cinematic trailer, Agent 47 drops down from the ceiling in the Hideout and attacks a man dressed as an FBI or Secret Service agent. That does not happen in-game.[1]
- It is possible to "complete" Hideout using cheats. The newspaper article will show a real-life person, most likely one of the developers. The text will be identical to Curtains Down.
Easter Eggs[]
- Shoot the trash bin in the shooting range on the left, and basement rats will form a line. Shoot them - a message will appear saying:[2]
"You sent all the rats to a happy place in [X amount of] seconds".
- The canary is a reference to the 1967 French film The Samurai, where the protagonist, a solitary hitman played by Alain Delon, keeps a small bird in a cage in his apartment.[3]
