Once more, you must earn the Silent Assassin rating on five different missions for " 5 Professional Silent Assassins". Success is largely determined by your memorization of each mission at this point. People get suspicious more quickly, 47 takes heavy damage from enemies, and you can only save between missions. Play through the game for the last time on Professional. On Expert you also have far fewer saves to use in a mission, and enemies do more damage to you. Note that the criteria for earning a Silent Assassin rating are slightly stricter with harder difficulties, though it shouldn't be a big difference. Once again, you will need to earn five Silent Assassins for " 5 Expert Silent Assassins", which will most likely be easiest to repeat on the missions in which you earned the rating in your previous playthrough. Obviously this difficulty is harder, but you should be fairly familiar with the game by this point, so hopefully it will go more quickly. Play through the game on Expert for your third playthrough. During this playthrough, on the missions in which you're not trying to earn Silent Assassin, try to be as sloppy and violent as possible to raise your notoriety for " Notorious". You'll need to earn the very best rating, Silent Assassin, on at least five different missions to obtain " 5 Normal Silent Assassins" (obviously, along the way you'll also obtain " Silent Assassin", if you didn't get that in your Rookie playthrough). You can save mid-level, so use that to your advantage. Now that you're familiar with the game, it's time to work on obtaining better ratings. Refer to the guide for locations and strategies for collecting all the guns, and remember to make use of mission select.
This playthrough will also be the easiest one in which to obtain all the weapons for the " All Firearms Collected" achievement. Playing this way will make the various "Fully Customized" achievements very easy to unlock over several playthroughs, or you can exploit saves to get them all in the same level (which takes longer).
Once you've unlocked that achievement, feel free to spend your money upgrading whichever weapon you want, though you'll want to max out a weapon before starting on the next one. Don't spend any of your money on upgrades (which are generally unnecessary regardless), and sometime before the end you should have accrued over $5 million for " High Roller". During this step you'll automatically obtain " First Mission Complete", " Tier 2 Kruger Schmidt", " Tier 3 Kruger Schmidt", " Tier 4 Kruger Schmidt", and " Rookie Mode Complete". Play on Rookie first, to familiarize yourself with the gameplay and missions. Unfortunately, the difficulty achievements do not stack, so four playthroughs are required to obtain every achievement.
Though the game can be difficult, there are many excellent walkthroughs to consult. There are many ways to complete every mission, and varying levels of reward for being stealthy or loud, precise or sloppy. In it, you play as Agent 47, a professional assassin who travels the world, killing people for money.
