Foreword
-READ THE DIALOUGES-
There is no point in playing this if you do not read the dialouge.
Stand on where the monaco symbol is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There're other tricks not covered in this map due to limitiations.
1. You can bump an enemy up to four times before they're alerted, pushing them far back so that you can enter a door/corner at the side/behind them safely. Use this to bump enemies into locked doors or far enough for you to slip through a door and remain undetected.

2. It's possible to de-aggro any fully alerted "!" guard sneaking in a tight circle around him and standing still for a moment. The guards will look directly behind after the first hit if he loses sight of you. To fully de-aggro him, sneak about 270 degrees. Running through a guard and doing a sharp 90 turn works too. Refer to the video above for de-aggroing in open spaces.

3. Bumping a guard attacking a friend in a bush or that have lost sight of it's target will reset his aggro meter. If a teammate is in a bush getting hit with full health, sneak bump the attacking guard.

4. Agents have large recoil and standing still behind a door while he's shooting will deaggro him.

5. Lasers that's been turned off and reactivate have a 1 second hitbox delay. You can safely run past them even when the red laser visual is shown.

6. Lasers that've tripped alarms cannot be triggered again while it's ringing. Let the laser hit you while the guard turns the alarm off to prolong it's downtime.

7. After turning off the power breaker, the nearest guard would approach it. Killing that guard (ideally with a wrench), and shifting the skeleton to a corner in the room would prolong the power from being turned back on for a really long time. This is because the 2nd guard that attempts to turn the power back on would be distracted by the skeleton and summon a 3rd guard to turn it on.

8. Blowing up the power breaker with a C4 or Rockets gives you the maximum power outage duration (about 28 seconds). However, you have to wait for the 'green sparkles' to spread, turning the lights off first.

9. Pressing "E" toggles shared vision. (Somehow unclear in the main game)

10. Dogs start tailing you after crossing a tile that the player has been on. The trail is reset after they lose track of you. (after inspecting the bush/vent you're in) Running along the walls instead of across the room usually stops them from trailing you to begin with. Running across a new tile/ground type (grass to sand etc) will also end the trail, causing them to resume random patrols.

11. Smokebombs do not give your character invisibility when they're out of it's area of effect. Think of it as an item that causes your character to be invisible within a 25 tile aoe. (same as a C4) In other words, don't move out of the spot too quickly but wait a second or two.

12. Search copter icons blink when your character is not under proper shelter/shade. (will be visible if the search light reaches you)

13. You can dodge the rocket an RPG guard fires by moving through him a split second before it fires off.

Speedrunning priorities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In general, Pickpocket's going to be faster for everything if he has a wrench, a rocket or a C4. Locksmith will be quicker if there're more locked doors than ammo that Pickpocket has to use. The other strat to compare involves sacrificing a character like mole to dig a wall and dying. (about 5 seconds per respawn time)

This is a rough estimate:
1 second to grab a Jewelry (those in glass cases)
1 second to open Jewelery boxes, Crown jewels, Necklace.
3 second for the Cashier.
About 6 seconds for the Safe.

3 seconds to open a Locked-door
3 seconds to hack a Computer
3 seconds to enter a Vent
3 seconds to enter a Stairwell
3 seconds to use a First aid kit
3 seconds to open a Secret passage.
2 seconds to swap for a different weapon.
About 2 seconds to enter a bush.

*A character's strong suit takes 3x less time.
So Locksmith will open the jewelry boxes in 0.33 seconds or so while Mole will take 0.33 seconds to smash the jewelries in glass casing.

- Locksmith for cashiers, jewelery boxes, crown jewels, necklaces, cashier, safes and locked doors.
- Mole for secret passages, jeweleries in glass casing.
- Lookout is faster for vents, windows and stairs.
- Pickpocket for the bushes.
- Cleaner for the first aid.
- Hacker for a computer. (Hacker's viruses move quicker.)

Hector travels a maximum of six tiles to the nearest coin, you can manipulate this by splitting the path up so that the nearest way back to you is forward.

The emp lasts for about 7-8 seconds. (the first second isn't a full shutdown)

The rocket takes about a second before firing it's projectile. You can use it to fire off before spawning on a different level by entering the stairs mid-preparations.

Police car, Fire engine, Green van, Ambulance, Blue boat, Swat van, Truck and the Taxi takes 2.5? seconds to enter. Everything else takes 5-6 seconds so avoid fanciful cars, boats and helicopters without a wrench.

You can break a secret passage to enter it instantly using a tranquilizer or a shotgun quickly. Tap against the passage for a split second first before shooting.
