So lets go!
The Cleaner: A man who cannot control is urges to be violent
The Cleaner is one of my personal favorites, his ability to knock out enemies if in a disguise or hidden is so and i mean so handy, especily in some of the last levels of campaign act I.
To tell you the truth he isnt that great, Now dont get confused on me, The Cleaner is a great man but if you havnt got team mates to back you up or got a disguise its hard to get around with out getting cought by enemies, I think that The Cleaner is best off with The Gentleman on his side of crime.
If you like knocking people out, The Cleaner is for you. If you can approach an enemy from behind or the side without getting noticed you can incapacitate them. This is great as all other means of eliminating an enemy come from an item. The effect is only temporary but it often lasts long enough for you to clean out the area the guard was patrolling.
The Redhead: A woman so pretty she can calm angry enemies
The Redhead is a very useful character if your on a level without weapons that can kill and there avery little guards, shee make enemies into lovers not fighters but for my personal opinion she isnt that great, i might as well be the gentleman and dont have guards following me but still not getting cought by them.
The Redhead is the last member to join your group. She has the ability to charm any enemy that becomes hostile towards her. This means that any guard that has an exclamation point over him will instantly become infatuated with her and follow her around. This can only be done to one guard at a time however, so don’t expect to charm your way through an entire level.
The Locksmith: The mans fingers move like a snake when picking locks
Ah the simplsity of picking locks to get anywhere you like, ever had this feeling? well the locksmith moves fast and agile “like a peacock” and when people are chasing him, trust him to pick those locks faster then he will ever have too. The Locksmith is one of my most favorite characters in the game, you dont really need team mates if you got him.
The Locksmith is a very useful character as he can unlock things very quickly. Keep in mind this only works on physical locks. He can not crack a computer faster for instance. The Locksmith is great to have in a group as he can get people from one room to another much faster than normal. He is also great for people looking to simply speed run through a level, setting a high score in time completion.
The Mole: One who is not very educated but is very strong
The Mole, THE most outrages character, I am so proud of him. He can break through nerly everything but not somethings, when digging/destroying he can draw attention to himself so you have to be careful about not getting cought by your enemies.
Do you like punching holes in things? How about forging your own path in life? If yes, then you should play as The Mole. His special ability allows him to smash through most small objects. This ability has many uses as it allows players to go around security doors and guards without them noticing. Keep in mind though, guards chasing you can run through the paths you make, so it can sometimes come back to haunt you.
The Hacker: The man to hacker your systems
The Hacker MY MOST FAVORITE character of all time, he is stealthy by very weak and not much use if you do not have any team mates to help, if you are in a safe place he is alright but he will get you lots of viruses to get your way through the missions, I personally would recomend him to everyone. 😀
The tech whiz of the group, The Hacker can break any computer. He can break into most machines much quicker than the other characters in a similar fashion as how The Locksmith can crack any physical lock much quicker than anyone else. He also can plant a worm into outlets that will follow him around for a limited time, shutting down anything in your path. It is similar to hacking a computer, but lasts longer and is generally quicker.
The Pickpocket: He and his monkey will make you rich
The Pickpocket is a good character but I dont use him that often, beside his moneky he is very useful for anything else, epsecily when enemies are chasing you, he is still a very good character and his moneky scares me, I mean does the moneky eat the loot or something it seems to disapire when he gets it.
The Pickpocket is the ultimate loot collector. What makes him so good at his job is actually his companion. He has a monkey that will run through a room collecting all the coins. The Pickpocket is a great character if you want to clean a level out for coins, but he is not the most necessary. Any character can collect coins, he simply does it faster. This makes him fun to use just not the most useful overall.
The Gentleman: He isnt so “Gentle” once you get to know him
The Gentleman, The Man of disguises, he can suit up and be hidden without getting cought for a while untill it wears off. The Getleman will loose his suit quicker if there are people around and you are picking a safe. The Getleman is also good for getting trophies if there are guards around I use him alot and his is a very good character.
The master of disguise, The Gentleman constantly knows just what to wear to get a job done. His disguises aren’t quite as potent as those found during a level but he makes up for this by being able to hide and put on a new one. This allows for an infinite amount of disguises so long as you can find somewhere to hide and put a new one on. Just remember to keep your exposure as limited as possible or else even the best disguise will be seen through.
The Lookout: Now this woman can see around every corner for you
The Lookout is an aswesome character, she can see every enemy when she isnt moving so this means you can play on single player or without team mates because you know where to go without getting cought, I would recomend her to players playing on their own.
The Lookout isn’t the fastest, strongest and doesn’t posses magical computer skills. She does however have a knack for knowing exactly where guards are. In a solo environment this can be invaluable as it will help prevent you from bumping into someone around a corner or past a door. When with a group she really shines though. Being able to avoid enemies with multiple people running around can be a massive challenge, a challenge that The Lookout can easily overcome.
Bring the Bleach Archievment
This is an archievment that is very hard to get, you need the right character the right mission and enough enemies, so instead of telling you which mission and which character I created a map to do so it tells you how in the mission. go to: to get the mission that gets you Bring the Bleach [link]
Slippery Archievment
The archievment says get a score under 1:10 which means get out of the prision in 1:09mins or less. this is a hard archivement to get i tried for ages to get it. I chose the lookout because there are more excape routes then locks to pick, i followed the walls and got the coins then I got out. I found it hard to do but yeah.
Silent Withdrawal: Complete Banque Albert without being seen
