Haven Island Question

[Karsk]

How the hell do you destroy the surveillance when there's three guys in the room in front of an open door when one of them is working on the surveillance console and ALSO happens to be an enforcer? I am trying to preserve my silent assassin but apart from shooting the camera thing and running which is REALLY hard I am not sure how to go about it. There's no way to get the enforcer, for villa guard disguises at least, off the console and you'd have to shoot through a window. Wouldn't shooting it ruin silent assassin anyway even if I don't get caught?

it wouldn't
ever tried shooting someone without killing them?

Tested it out and it didn't break SA as long as you dont get spotted thankfully. Pretty much the only way to pull it off I think without some kind of big distraction or remote emetic device

There is also an additional surveillance recorder in the center of the server room.

there's 3 recorders in haven island, there's the one you mentioned at the mansion, one underground under the mansion at the server farm, and one in the security outpost next to the spa. Personally, if i can get a villa guard disguise or even a resort guard disguise, I go for the one in the security outpost. If i don't need to go for a perfect shooter objective, then i don't even bother with a disguise. There's a free key you can get in the laundry room by going through the Med Clinic area that unlocks everything outside the mansion.

There's 3 surveillance recorders on the island, all of them can be shot from a distance without touching anyone inside the rooms, the one in the villa can even be shot from outside the room through the window. You don't need to touch any of the guards, ever. The outpost can be shot from the backdoor and then you leave, the underground can be shot from the scaffolds above it and then leave.

Beyond that, if you wanted to do it without shooting the recorder, the emp device has a range and can be used through walls; you only need to throw or place it near a recorder to destroy it from the other side of a wall.

You also have numerous ways to put people to sleep, not just sick. In freelancer the chloroform flask is area effect, and in the normal game there's the gold brick device, not to mention various poisons / dart guns. Putting non-targets to sleep does not break SA (but sleeping a target does)

Ho ho ho...there's neat trick to do that. You just shoot from the outside of the room. Easy, right?
