How Do You Assassinate?

[Ironic Pirate]

Kick down the front door and repaint the lobby.

In honesty, though, it depends on the game. If it has really fun knife mechanics, I'll stab him. If it has really awesome destruction mechanics, I'll blow him up. And so on.

Caesar's tent, stealth boy, anti material rifle, incendiary round.

Head blows clean off, lighting the decapated body on fire, slumping in his throne if AIs could think I would like to think that his advisers would of believed it an act of God.

Long live Caesar...psh

Face to face.

Most everyone deserves an honorable death.

I usually prefer beating my foes to death bare handed, but there's no better kill than running up to your target, jumping up, placing one hand on their shoulder while the other reaches toward the heavens, extending it's hidden blade and finally sinking it into the throat of your enemy. Or someone who got in the way. Or bards. Or fucking lepers.

Compund bow & aluminum shaft arrow . . . nice, clean, silent . . .

. . . close enough to be personal, distant enough to be indifferent.

Compund bow & aluminum shaft arrow . . . nice, clean, silent . . .

. . . close enough to be personal, distant enough to be indifferent.

Also cheap, relatively untraceable and lethal.

A 360 no scope gets the job done.

 

[Trenya]

Beating them into a bloody mess with a greatsword while shouting incoherently.

 

[Rabid Chipmunk]

I prefer my assassinations as quick and efficient as possible. Walk up behind someone and put a round in the back of their head with a suppressed 9mm and walk away like nothing ever happened.

 

[macfluffers]

I'm a personal guy, so I'd prefer something along the lines of a baseball bat to the back of the head. I'd use a wood bat, so I could burn the weapon afterward. A bomb isn't a bad alternative if I can't expect to be alone with the mark. I like the idea of poison...but it's too dangerous, with a nick or open cut could lead to my own death.

 

[SamuelT]

I bite him. ...Hard.

..What? Biting can be very effective...

Well yeah, against Ghost-types, but apart from that...

H..H..Haha...HahahAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Do you write your own material?

Pfsshfss. That one was easy. Biting + effective = Pokémon reference.

But yes. I do.

 

[sora91111]

I'd use the good, old, and effective way I've used in countless games. Start, pick off any guards with ranged weapons or allies. Second, wait for idiot target to trap themselves. Finally, reorganize their face with whatever weapon you want. Priceless!

 

[SkyeNeko]

wow some of you guys are really laying the plan out.

as for my disturbed post: id probably befriend them first, you know, get to know them. i think id like the look of betrayal. id proly use poison on something i offer them so they know it was me.

 

[loc978]

I don't really have too much of a preference... but my last one was to get him alone in a hotel room and then chop him to pieces with a meat cleaver.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Depends on the game and the weapons I'm charged with. If its swords, I like to get in close, in front of them if I can, and just run a sword through their face.

if its with guns... well... something but with a shotgun.

It goes to my rules of life I follow in real life. I want the last thing my enemy sees to be my face with a look of frim determined success, so when I send them to hell, they can tell everyone exactly who did it.

 

[MrJohnson]

Taking em down CQB with a shotgun and revolver. In fantasy games/medieval I go with a bow and dagger. Maybe an axe if I'm feeling brutal.

I blow down the doors to my targets place of residence. As one of the guard comes around the corner to see what just happened, a slug catches him right in the chest bringing him down. When I suspect all the guards have gathered in the entryway, I toss in a tear gas grenade. Making my way round back, I climb to the second story and enter through a window. As I hear the guards coughing downstairs, I open the door with my revolver in hand and eliminate them with the accuracy of a sniper rifle blessed by Athena. Then I enter my targets room. Not seeing him, I take out my knife. He rushes out of the closet hoping to take me by surprise. The knife catches in his neck.

And that is how I would like to play Deus Ex.

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

Simple an Umbrella gun that shoots a poison ball into their legs and kills them within hours. All I have to do is accidentally poke them while standing next to them and apologize and walk away like any normal person would. Hey if it works for the KGB why not me?

 

[icypain]

i could guide a missile by satellite.. by satellite.

Or i could run up to him/her with a stapler and just beat the crap out of 'em. only to realized i just killed the wrong target.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Sniper rifle I guess. I don't know, I have never really thought about it.
