This bar shows Hitman's current
health. Every time Hitman sustains
damage, the bar decreases.
If the bar dips to the danger point,
below 25% capacity, it turns red to
alert you to Hitman's predicament.
NOTE: Damage is location-based.
This means a shot to the head is
almost certain to kill Hitman
while a shot to the arm will not.
• THREAT METER
Displayed next to the Health Bar,
the Threat Meter gives an indication
of the danger Hitman faces.
An increase in movement signifies
an increase in danger. The meter can
alert you to potential problems such
as a failed disguise or Hitman being
spotted in restricted access zones.
