Hammer time Challenge

[Nazgren]

Hi,
I have been trying to get the last challenge on final test which is the Hammer time challenge. Google says that you have to knock people out only ever using the hammer and without being spotted. I went one further however, i never even triggered the sight marker, the white semi circle + whistling noise to indicate that someone can see you. I got in, only knocking out 2 guards, the target and the KGB officer. No bodys were found, i never used coins, poison, etc, did not touch any other items, did nothing else, nobody even caught a glimpse of me and i still did not get the challenge. Anyone know here i went wrong or have a better idea on what the challenge requires?

Thanks

just looked it up online and tried getting this myself also, theres a few different opinions about what the requirements are from what i read but this is how i got it, you might be able to do more than this of course

only equip the hammer (if you pick up coins or guns etc this seems to be a fail state even if you dont use them), only knock people out using the hammer, kill jasper by snapping his neck (after you knock him out with the hammer) no costume changes, dont get spotted and complete the mission

its also worth mentioning the challenge didn't show as being completed as they usually are on the debriefing screen but after i went back to the main main and checked it was unlocked

[Nazgren]

As i said, i did exactly that and more and no luck, even checking on the main menu afterwards that i definately didnt get it. Will maybe try again at a later date in case it glitched out unless i find any other ideas.

This challenge is easy.

Conditions:
- DO NOT use anything but a hammer. No guns, no coins, no "subdue".
- DO NOT pick up anything but a hammer.
- use any disguise
- bodies and weapons can be found
- only need to use a hammer on the target, nobody else

Easy way of doing it is to grab the hammer on the left before climbing over the fence. Go around to the left until you see a pipe leading to the 1st floor located just behind a soldier. Climb up and go to the toilet's window. Wait for the KGB officer to use the mirror. Use the hammer to knock him out, use the disguise, hide the body, leave the gun. Go and pick up the KGB note from one of the office desks. Talk to Knight, he'll follow you to the radio room. He'll ask you to leave but he'll also turn away from you so quickly use the hammer on him and snap his neck. Don't worry about the body, leave through the window. Exit the area.

I was stuck on this challenge as I kept using "subdue" to get the guard's disguise. (which I didn't really need, which is why I just passed him by unnoticed in the end).

Indeed, did pretty much the same but with slight differences.
No costume change, never leave the commandant's room/bathroom.

- Pick up hammer
- Climb over fence
- Climb up drainpipe and enter bathroom
- Wait for and knock-out KGB guy, hide his body
- Wait for target to leave the room and take out guard behind him, hide body
- Wait for target to come back, hammer time, snap neck, hide body in bathroom
- Exit the way you came in

Betting that if you're really fast you can

- Climb up drainpipe
- Take out Guard when he follows the target, hide body
- Take out target with hammer, hide body
- GTFO

EDIT: Yea, if you are fast enough you can do it withouth bothering with the KGB guy.

Dunno about the disguise, but you don't even have to hide bodies. I accidentally climbed in through the window instead of moving past it and was seen...well...I climbed straight into the face of the Guard...hammered him, and Japser couldn't even turn around before I hammered his face in...snapped his neck...never changed disguise. The knocked out Guard even was woken up straight before I reached the car and my status thus was "hunted"(although barely anyone knew what I looked like at that point). Still got the Feat.

Ooooooooooh, I had to do this 5 times or so.
It's very important that you CANNOT subdue guards. LITERALLY ONLY USE THE HAMMER TO KNOCK EVERYONE OUT!
Thanks Gietek for the final hint I needed to get this done!

I got it super easy, in just a few minutes:
1. Grab the hammer.
2. Hop the fence to the right of the gate.
3. Use the generator and use the hammer to knock out the guard. Take his uniform.
4. Run up to the office where the target is. As he leaves for a walk, close the door behind him and use the hammer to knock out his guard. Hide the body.
5. Shortly the target will come back. Knock him out with the hammer, snap his neck, hide the body.
6. Run to the exit.
Took me like 3 minutes.

- Wait for target to come back, hammer time, snap neck, hide body in bathroom

There's a LOT easier way than talking to KGB officer about radio call /OR/ having to wait another round to knock out the guard. Quite funny actually.

- Grab the hammer and climb the pipe, and probably best to wait in the toilet.
- When Knight leaves the room and guard follows, KGB officer will have his back turned to you, you can throw the hammer to knock him out right there near the chess board.
- Take KGB officer disguise and drag him to the bathroom, but don't take his gun, leave it on the floor instead
- Now the funny part is that the guard is gonna grab the gun and leave you alone with Knight, hehehe >:)
- Now just throw hammer at Knight, snap his neck, and walk out the main entrance with your KGB officer disguise uncompromised

alternatively, you can:

get the hammer
infiltrate through the right fence
get into the locker room
dress up as a mechanic
talk to the target
lure him into the bathroom
murder
escape
