Hope is a town under siege by not only the wealthy and diabolical weapons manufacturer Blake Dexter, but also the Cougars, a band of young hooligans who enjoy shaking down the civilians for extra special treatment. The gang's weedy leader Lenny Dexter is the only one who knows about the girl that 47 needs to save.

Welcome to Hope is the biggest level in Absolution and is filled with hiding spots and life-threatening accidents waiting to happen, alongside a handful of great locations to get the “scope” of things. Schadenfreude is the name of the game; you can kick enemies into a boiling pool of hot oil, detonate stoves from afar, replace BBQ sauce with flammable liquids, even give a baddie a zap up their naughty bits by tampering with the electrics whilst they're relieving themselves.

The numerous coppers and goons sulking around the area, alongside many potential witnesses minding their own business, means accessing restricted areas and acquiring weapons or disguises unnoticed is a tricky feat. Timing may be critical, though you can always switch to a different member if you miss your chance with one of them, thus preventing you from waiting in the cupboard for another 15 minutes with your finger up your nose until that one guy returns. 

With three targets in each area, they'll be sure to keep you busy as you explore and slip through such a fantastic level.
