A variety of handguns, shotguns, assault rifles, and sub-machine guns are available to make some noise. Of course, those who prefer to take a more direct approach toward missions can do just that. Agent 47 can also throw knives, though that can be somewhat tricky, as throws are controlled with the same input used for movement. There are numerous ways to complete each objective, and some of the more creative assassination methods involve pushing people over railings, poisoning their food, strangling them with fiber wire, and rigging explosions.
