Introduction
These are some tips that I thought were known, but I still see people not knowing them, so I thought I'd share!

Most of these tips can be used in the normal modes, but much more useful in freelancer where you have may have limited items!

Hopefully some people find it useful!
Find out undercover guards or assassins fast!
Undercover guards are around the map, not near the target always, so if you want to make sure you won't get shot down by an undercover guard, or just want to see where the assassins are, remember this:

When you enter instinct mode, all undercover guards or assassins are always highlighted with a brighter and thicker white outline, making them easy to spot (regardless of their outfits - could be a gardener etc.)

This applies for any type of guard, and is really useful when they aren’t visibly armed and you want to make sure where they are or who they are before taking a target down or doing an illegal action.

This visual sign is really helpful for me personally!

Example: NPC outlines (left) are less thick then the guards/assassins on the right
Doors locked and you have no proper tools/guns or keycards?
Simply just place a coin in front of ANY door!
ANY npc that walks through will result in the door opening!

How to make people panic (including guards) as a distraction and completely ignore you or your actions:
For NPCs - use 2 shots to the floor (silenced)

For guards - use 3 shots to the floor or shoot a person in their sight (you basically are ‘blind’ to them in a way -(silenced)

A single shot of a loud gun will always make guards and NPCs panic.
Smuggle illegal items past guards
Put your item in a briefcase, and before frisking, place the briefcase down, and then pick it up after you finish the frisk!

None of the guards will pick it up as they’re more focused on patting you down first

The End
I hope some people found these tips useful, and hopefully it can make your game play more efficient and easier!

Again, I know some of these are known but some people don't know so I thought i'd share!

Please consider rating it :)

Sometimes you can get super unlucky and some guard appears randomly gets it, sorry :’)

The first time I was doing Le Chiffre, I tried the briefcase-past-security trick. My shock when a third guard came up and stole my briefcase as soon as I got the patdown :')

Always grab the banana

Always grab the banana in your safehouse kitchen, you can use it to knock people out by placing it in their path. It's not illegal, and it registers as an accident. Great way to steal mercers from the couriers.
