what does the shockwave bullets do?

[lil dookie]

I am playing hitman sniper missions and wonder what these bullets do? Do they just stun people and leave them alive, not death?

They create a small explosion that knocks the persons body back away from the centre of the explosion. They still kill.

Ah okay thanks, i would like some form of non lethal bullet that put civilians to sleep, would be cool

How do you guys usually play this missions the right way? I find myself completing in 4 minutes because some civilian triggers alarm. I try to pick off the isolated guards first which works great and hide them in enviremont but the key targets remain in public, should i just wait longer? I take them all out but at the end i dont get that many anchievements or challenges in end screen

There's 100 ways to do these silent assassin without setting off alarms, if you can't figure it out on your own, go search YouTube, it's far easier to show than to type it out

It's really just paying attention and hiding the bodies

I usually end up with the 3 targets alive and maybe 2 bodyguards but ppl start to notice dead bodies because these guards didnt move and just stay in the same position, and theres no water/bush stuff to hide them in

You can use regular bullets to lead guards to the point you shoot at. If the guard isn't near enough to a bush, balcony, trash pile, etc., just shoot nearby to stop his routine and get your target to investigate.
Keep in mind that shots must be near enough, but not too near. [Bullet impacts noticed or too many shots in a row can trigger suspicion.] Also, civilians can be led away from areas easily this way.

To your original post, try using shockwave bullets behind people standing near ledges or water. They'll fall right off... Shockwave bullets also can be used to "push" bodies into hiding places. The game is funny in that you usually just need to get the body close enough to trigger the animation for bushes or trash piles.

1. There's no way a tranquilizer dart fires that far.

2. They aren't shot from the same type of gun, the ammo types you have now are just mag swaps

3. For these types of missions knocking out a civilian with a tranquilizer dart and having the body found would be just as suspicious as killing them

Learn to use distractions, bushes aren't the only place to hide bodies, and there's no target or guards that can't easily be hidden with a kill shot. You either aren't paying attention or not waiting to understand their routines.

If you really can't figure this out on your own, Google, there's tons of walkthroughs for these, you don't seem to really get the basics yet
