No silenced sniper rifle?

[Penguin]

Several good vantage points in the game for sniping... And yet, the default sniper rifles aren't even suppressed... What the hell, IOI?

The base tone of this game is still infiltration and close assassination.
There are a few silenced sniper rifles, just like the handy lockpick, you have to earn them.

Just look through the challenges and mastery lists, there's several you can unlock

Sniping in this game is kind of messed up anyway. As soon as you fire one shot, even with a suppressor, every fregg'n armed npc drops what they're doing and makes a mad dash strait at you. Sniping in hitman 2 just isn't that fun. I'm kind of hoping that they rework sniping for hitman3.

They don't come at you, they go at the location where the shot came from.

Whoever see the kill scene figures out where the bullet come from. Doesn't it make sens?
If they're going to change it, I hope the witness take cover immediately and raise alarm, and call everyone to investigate (not just those one the way when they're going to investigate).

It gets even more silly when you go for the sniper challenges, silent, suit only, no witnesses... is to shoot them point blank range in the butt with a sniper rifle while they are puking their guts out.

Ughh... the only way for me to get the sniper with the suppressor is to buy another DLC pack... yuck no thanks

You don't have legacy pack nor Isle of Sgail?

Did you even bother to look at the guide linked? Isle of sgail has one and that's in standard edition. There's even more in the legacy pack, which you have. So what are you even complaining about needing to buy?

There's 7 suppressed snipers in the game. One in standard edition, three in the legacy pack. The GOTY upgrade adds one more and the only expansion pass adds two, and those two are identical functionally with just different skins

EDIT:

samething with pistols, When we fire with silenced pistols, even well hidden, all ennemies come at us? Even alone in a room with an npc, with all door closed, ennemies still hear the shot? I don't think there are really silenced weapons in the game! Or, it just don't work?

1. if the bullet hits an NPC, surely he can tell where the bullet come from. if the bullet kills an NPC, and another NPC witnessed it happened, surely he can figure out where the bullet com from.

2. if the bullet hits an object, first time it counts as a distraction, luring nearby NPC to investigate. the second bullet will be recognized as bullet impact, civilians will panic and guards will search for you.

3. if the bullet did not hit anything, but an NPC is close to you when you shoot, there's a detection range in which they can still hear the gunshot. silenced firearms still have a sonic boom, that's the reason subsonic ammunition exist.

There are more than one silenced sniper rifles. I suggest you RESEARCH before asking such asinine questions. I use one of them ROUTINELY.

That has never happened to me, not once. If you kill your target and there is no witness/camera, there is no alarm, no enemies come running at you. If this happens to you consistently, you either have a massive bug I've never encountered or heard of, or you are not using a silenced pistol.

Or he's firing the shot too close to an NPC.. silenced pistols still have a noise range :D
