Bodyguard (outfit)

Template:InfoboxDisguise
The **Bodyguard** outfit is a recurring disguise that appears in almost every game of the Hitman franchise, albeit going through many different changes and designs based on the location. Usually, it consists of a buttoned back suit, sunglasses, a white shirt and a black tie.

## Description

### *HITMAN™*

#### Guided Training & Freeform Training

* Worn by Kalvin Ritter's personal bodyguards. They wear all-black suits and hang around Ritter throughout the whole mission. Two guards will stand by Ritter's room. The others will be patrolling Ritter's yacht.
* NPCs can't see through the disguise and it provides access to all areas.
* To obtain the disguise during the prologue mission without anyone noticing, a distraction must be used. You can lure the bodyguard standing outside Ritter's office to come inside the office by opening the door and then throw a coin on the ground inside the room. You need to be inside the office already while you are doing this. Since the door is open, the guard should hear it and enter to investigate. This would be your chance to take him out.

#### World of Tomorrow

* Worn by the guards around the town; the uniform's use here does not make complete sense, as these "bodyguards" seem to function as city police. They wear a black suit, a white shirt and black tie; some don sunglasses (see image). The disguise allows access to the sewers beneath the church, the clock tower (town hall) including the lawyer office and the ice cream shop.
* In the mission, *World of Tomorrow*, the disguise is not strong, as it does not allow 47 to enter the mansion itself where the targets, Silvio Caruso and Francesca De Santis are. In other levels, however, especially in *Landslide* and *The Author (Patient Zero)*, the disguise grants much more powerful access to the map, as these missions do not require you entering the mansion.
* There are many bodyguards in Sapienza which could potentially be taken out alone. A distraction such as a coin will often be needed however to lure them into a position where you can take them out and also hopefully place them in a body container/locker/closet.

#### A Gilded Cage

* Worn by the guards at the entrance to the shisha café. They are guards that wears a black suit and tie with a white shirt; the same style as the bodyguards in Sapienza. They will ask for 47 to show his Courtyard Club invite. With the disguise, Agent 47 can enter the employee area of the café. To obtain the disguise without causing an alert the player first has to lure the guard to an isolated area. This disguise is also not powerful as it does not allow 47 to enter the consulate or school, areas where the targets reside. Given its limited usefulness and the difficulty in obtaining it discretely, it seems to have been a decorative outfit meant to add flavor to the level rather than serve a real purpose for the player.

#### A House Built on Sand

* Worn by Kong Tuo-Kwang's bodyguards. In the disguise, Agent 47 can enter the shisha café, the closed carpet shop and the roof where the two targets are supposed to meet. It also provides Agent 47 with the opportunity to escort Matthieu Mendola to the roof and thus trigger the meeting between the two men. Be wary of enforcers, as Tuo-Kwang's personal bodyguard can see through your disguise.

#### Situs Inversus

* Worn by Yuki Yamazaki's and Erich Soder's personal bodyguards. They are spread about the map, with numbers increasing as you get closer to Soder at the hospital same goes for Yamazaki at the resort. They wear all black suits and shirts with no tie some wear black sweaters with suits, with a GAMA emblem. Some also wear red face-masks, medical gloves, and shoe-covers. The masked bodyguards are the guards who are for Erich Soder. The unmasked bodyguards are for Yuki Yamazaki.
* The disguise grants access to almost the entire map. The only areas off-limit are the operating rooms, the stem cell storage, the director’s office, the KAI mainframe and all VIP guest rooms except for the one occupied by Yuki Yamazaki, which you are allowed to enter.
* All of Yamazaki's personal bodyguards will see through your disguise, especially the ones in her room. Be wary of this if you do enter her room. All of Soder's personal bodyguards will see through your disguise in the Stem Cell storage, Morgue, Director's office, and throughout the whole hospital and resort.
* To obtain the disguise go to the hospital building or the resort area, find a isolated bodyguard whos roaming around the area or use a coin or any item to distract a guard in your desired area and make sure your the only one in the room and after you take out the guard, steal the outfit and hide the body in a locker or a closet. And same goes for the hall area take out the guard and hide the body in a safe area where you can steal the disguise and then that way you wont get caught by other bodyguards.
* This disguise can also be acquired shortly after you begin the mission. After arriving near the cable cart in the south part of the map you will come across two bodyguards talking with each other. You can use any of the objects that you can throw to get them separated and, without any problems, eliminate one of them. Bodyguards can also be found patrolling the hospital's main building (they wear red masks) so you can, i.e. lure a bodyguard patrolling the hallway near the stairs to the morgue.
* This masked disguise is worn by the guards inside the hospital. The unmasked disguise is worn by the guards inside the resort. There's 2 variants of the disguise the masked one which is the GAMA hospital bodyguard and then the other one which is the GAMA resort bodyguard. They not guarding only for GAMA patients and for the staff they even protect certain VIPs like Tobias Rieper, Jason Portman, Amos Dexter, Erich Soder, Yuki Yamazaki and for ICA and Providence operatives.
* Its one of the best disguises in Hokkaido because bodyguards can go almost anywhere on the map. The only places that are unavailable for them are guests' apartments (excluding Yuki Yamazaki's one) and operation theatre and the hospital rooms that are right next to it (only surgeons may enter there). All other areas can be accessed without any access cards or being searched by the guards. But be on your guard because when walking down the hallways and passing by Yuki you can be detected by some people, even if you have a disguise.
* These are the Guards for Yuki and Soders. They wear a dark gray suit with a black turtleneck shirt with no tie. In the Hospital they also wear red gloves, red masks, and red covering on their shoes. They can go most  everywhere inside the Hospital except the Operating Theater, Surgery Life Support, Defibrillator Power, Stem Cell Supply, KAI Mainframe, and the Director's Office. Outside the Hospital they can go everywhere except the Medical Staff, Sleeping Quarters and most of the Patient Rooms (Yuki's Room is the lone exception).
* One way to get this Disguise is to lay in wait inside the Hospital, Restroom and ambush any Guard that comes in here from the Waiting Area. Drag the guard into the empty stall and take the clothes. You may also need to get rid of the Doctor from Intensive Care Supervision who also comes in here before going after the Bodyguard. Another way is to go up into the Observation Room near the West Stairs. Toss an object into the corner next to the door to the Secondary Control. Any guard will get there and you can take their clothes. Nobody can see the body in this corner so it won't be found at all.

#### Landslide

* Worn by Marco Abiatti's bodyguards. In this disguise, Agent 47 is allowed everywhere in the church including the morgue and sewers underneath it, the lawyer’s office and the staircase in the clock tower building, all apartment buildings and the three staff areas at the campaign booth, the stage and the pier. Additionally, if the bodyguards haven’t found the hiding Salvatore Bravuomo yet, 47 can talk to him and escort him to the clock tower to trigger the meeting between him and Abiatti.

#### Patient Zero

* In *The Author*, bodyguards are spread out throughout the entire map, with most guards around the church area and lower section of Sapienza. This disguise grants access to almost the entire map including the church, morgue, sewers, and cemetery.
* There are few enforcers, however the main one is the guard at the front door of the church, so find a way around or create a distraction.
* In *Patient Zero (Hokkaido)*, the disguise is worn by the guards inside the hospital. As in Situs Inversus, the disguise grants access to most of the map except for the operating theater, the stem cell storage, the director's office, the KAI mainframe, the Intensive Care and Dexter's guest room. Despite allowing access to the quarantine area, the disguise offers no protection against the virus.

### *HITMAN™ 2*

#### Nightcall

* Worn by the mercenaries under Alma Reynard’s command. In this disguise 47 can walk around freely except for a small area around the boat which is still a hostile area even when disguised. This variant of the bodyguard disguise is different from the formal suit-and-tie normally encountered, consisting of military garments such as cargo pants, boots, field jackets and sometimes watch caps. Alma Reynard can always see through this disguise no matter the variant.

#### The Last Resort

* Worn by Tyson Williams' personal bodyguards, this disguise consists of a khaki polo shirt worn under a black plate carrier, a black military beret, and a prominent badge. This is an extremely useful disguise that grants access to all areas on the map with the sole exception being the women’s restroom in the restaurant building. If 47 finds the stolen USB drive and hands it over to Williams, he can get promoted to be his new bodyguard, which reduced the amount of enforcers for the disguise. The personal bodyguard disguise will be in a locker in the secret office in the villa; this can be opened by pulling out a book in the bookshelf in the main entrance room. However, doing so is suspicious.
* Note that you must be promoted to be able to have a full non-enforcer's disguise - if you sneak in to obtain it some guards may be suspicious of you.

### *HITMAN™ III*

#### Death in the Family

* Worn by Alexa Christine Carlisle's personal bodyguards at Thornbridge Manor. The disguise consists of a suit worn with an ID lanyard, with some variations having patterned ties. The disguise allows access to all areas of the mansion except for Alexa's private room. A few bodyguards, including the one accompanying Alexa, act as enforcers for the disguise.

#### The Farewell

* Worn by Tamara Vidal's and Diana Burnwood's personal bodyguards at Viñedo Yates Estate. The disguise allows access to all areas of the map except for the inside of the villa.

## Trivia

* Originally the bodyguard outfits in World of Tomorrow and A Gilded Cage looked exactly like the CICADA Bodyguard outfit. This was changed with the release of the Summer Bonus Episode.
* In addition to the various outfits that are designated as bodyguard uniforms, some levels of HITMAN™ and HITMAN™ 2 will often have one or more security NPC's that are paired with a particular NPC which is usually, but not always, a mission target. These various NPC's serve the function of a true bodyguard and will escort their charge throughout the level, responding to threats and evacuating them to a safe area if necessary. If the player eliminates or hides the guarded NPC without disabling the guard, the now-independent bodyguard will usually proceed to wander the level randomly. In other cases they will sit down, or even drink or go to sleep.
