Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer Hitman: Absolution Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

General objectives of the stage: Burn is the third stage of the sixteenth game mission. It's entirely focused on avoiding Agency soldiers patrolling the smoky building. Depending on the difficulty setting, remaining hidden may be more or less demanding task.

The initial part of this stage is very linear and despite numerous explosions in the area, you have nothing to fear - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

The initial part of this stage is very linear and despite numerous explosions in the area, you have nothing to fear. I advise to take any throwable item with you along your way (e.g. screwdriver or hammer), because you may find this useful after few moments. Proper struggle begins after reaching the door shown on the above screen, leading to the smoky part of the warehouse.

Two Agency heavy troopers will soon enter the first warehouse room - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

Two Agency heavy troopers will soon enter the first warehouse room. If you intend to attack them, wait until they split and only then start your actions. I recommend using a power cable (found in the area or taken from the county jail) as a garrote, so your opponent won't alarm his colleagues.

Personally I would advise to avoid both soldiers, especially that elimination of them wont gain you nothing (Agency heavy trooper disguise has the same risk level of detection as Agency grunt disguise) - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

Personally I would advise to avoid both soldiers, especially that elimination of them won't gain you nothing (Agency heavy trooper disguise has the same risk level of detection as Agency grunt disguise). Regardless of how you've acted, choose the passage shown on the above screen, leading to the main part of the warehouse.

You have to be more careful here, because even on lower difficulty levels youll encounter in this area 5-6 Agency heavy troopers - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

You have to be more careful here, because even on lower difficulty levels you'll encounter in this area 5-6 Agency heavy troopers. Theoretically you could lure them out to the previous area and eliminate one by one but avoiding them is safer. The best way to avoid first group of enemy is to use the balcony shown on the above screen.

You can shorten your way and directly go to the left platform shown on the above screen - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

You can shorten your way and directly go to the left platform shown on the above screen. On higher difficulty levels you would need to use Instinct and/or throwable objects to distract enemies. This platform is also reached from the previously mentioned balcony.

The second part of the main part of the warehouse is occupied by large group of enemies - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

The second part of the main part of the warehouse is occupied by large group of enemies. The easiest way to avoid them is to walk over the central platform and climbing down at the place shown on the above screen.

If you dont want to use the central platform, you can go also to the right, reaching two smaller balconies shown on the above screen - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

If you don't want to use the central platform, you can go also to the right, reaching two smaller balconies shown on the above screen.

Current area of the warehouse can be left in two main ways - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

Current area of the warehouse can be left in two main ways. The main passage is weakly guarded on lower difficulty levels, but on higher difficulty levels you will encounter here additional enemies, so it is difficult to remain hidden. You can find here also evidence, which can be obtained with usage of Instinct or throwable items.

The alternative passage is the door shown on the above screen, located in one of warehouses corners - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

The alternative passage is the door shown on the above screen, located in one of warehouse's corners. The door should be guarded by anyone, but you have to watch out along your way there.

The last area of the warehouse is not guarded on lower difficulty levels and on higher difficulty levels youll encounter here a single enemy, who fortunately can be easily avoided or eliminated - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

The last area of the warehouse is not guarded on lower difficulty levels and on higher difficulty levels you'll encounter here a single enemy, who fortunately can be easily avoided or eliminated. Exit the warehouse (screen above).

Finally go through several linear locations, where you wont encounter any soldiers - Burn | 16: Operation Sledgehammer - 16: Operation Sledgehammer - Hitman: Absolution Game Guide

Finally go through several linear locations, where you won't encounter any soldiers. Reaching the door leading to the market and opening it automatically transfer you to the next stage.
