Pistol Only run of the mission End of an Era. Silent Assassin | Suit Only.
I’m not allowed to interact with the environment in any way other than gunshots: no agility actions, no opening doors, no throwables, no pickups/drops. Also no melee/subdues and crouching. “Use” button was used once to exit the mission. Master difficulty. Loadout: Krugermeier 2-2 Silver.
Targets: Hush and Imogen Royce.

A unique challenge suggested by subscriber Riccardo De Pieri: interact with the world using only the pistol and eliminate the targets from up close. I've also added a few other restrictions on top of that, like not dropping weapons to distract the bodyguards. I think Chongqing is the hardest map to do this way because you have to sneak through at least one building to get to the targets. In other maps you can usually kill targets from outside through windows or on balconies, or isolate them by doing mission stories.
NOTES:
03:24 If you try to move Hush's body or hide it in the closet his bodyguard will try to follow him and spot you instantly. Alerting him with bullet impacts is the only way to prevent him from doing that, as he stops reacting to footsteps, throwables, visual distractions or dropped guns after you kill Hush.
05:39 Shooting someone in the stomach is not very stealthy but it's considered acceptable for Silent Assassin, as long as no one dies or sees you make the shot.
07:56 To explain how this is possible: bullets in H3 don't actually come out from a gun's barrel, they are fired from the viewpoint of the camera. So if you can point somewhere with your crosshair you can shoot there, regardless of how you are positioned. As you can see at 08:00 Agent 47's body was completely covered by the door, which is why the guard didn't see him and could only hear the gunshot.
Seriously what the hell
You are so very underrated my friend!
Professionalism at its finest..
I WANT to like this game but the enemy AI is just so fuckin stupid
Good job man. I am watching you since your absolution videos
Goddamn this game looks phenomenal
OOOOH YOU DID IT! You are the man my friend
Wow what a shit game. The ai is ridiculously bad
7:59 😂
This is master class, a whole new level of finesse.
this is dope you should do all the maps like this
Pretty good.
Some of the most clever manipulations of stealth mechanics I've seen. Great video as always
I watched your MGSV vids years ago and thought there was no way you could top those. Wrong as usual lol.
Very well done, and I love that you got out without the last body being found.
Man, you are fucking awesome! Amazing 👍😍🤩
I wish I can have thumbs like yours.
What an interesting challenge! Great job
Wow, I was not aware of the ability to just shoot someone in the gut for distraction purposes while still maintaining SA lol.
People like to call out the AI for being bad, and they're not wrong, but tbh i think it's more interesting and fun to have the guards react in very gamey ways. Makes it possible for players to come up with all sorts of crazy creative strats like this. Great run man 😀
You got me hooked for the whole video. When is it coming out? Thumbs up 👍
You love challenging yourself , huh?
I love how I haven’t even played this game but still find the run impressive. I really think prenautals runs are so amazing, something about the patience, precision, and planning almost recreates the feeling of watching a movie. Subscribed for the absolute zero run of DE:HR and never left, so happy you are back.
