Murder of Crows

Mardi Gras is in full swing down in New Orleans, and Agent 47 is in the middle of it, trying to protect a presidential candidate from a trio of assassins.

Chicken Suit 47
Only Mardi Gras is wild enough to force Agent 47 to don a chicken suit, but that's just what's required here. Luckily, it should be no problem to follow the culprit with the briefcase and wait for him take an ill advised smoke break in a dark alley. Wait until the coast is clear, choke him, take the costume, and chuck the body in the dumpster.

You can only carry one briefcase at a time, so if you're toting your rifle briefcase, stash it in a safe place where no cops will pick it up.

Cut off the Head
It's always easiest to take out the henchman once the general falls, so make the brains behind the outfit your first kill. You can find Mark Purayah, Jr. (the albino clone) at the northwest Interest Point on your map. Once you've made your way to the location, take the following steps:

• Look for two guards dressed in yellow chicken outfits guarding the entrance. One stays by the door while the other patrols. Set the briefcase with the diamonds near the door. Within a few moments, one of the guards will pick it up and both will head inside. Wait a second and then follow them through the door.
• Once inside, hide in the closet and wait for them to return. Use the real-time map to track their movements. Once they're back in their original spots, sneak out of the closet and take down the guard by the door. Then, steal his clothes and wait for the other guard to start walking towards the street. Take this opportunity (you need to be quick) to drag the body of the guard you just killed to the dumpster across the way.
• Head back inside the building, down the hallway, and head right after walking through the next door. The briefcase is near the bottom of the spiral stairway.
• Take the briefcase upstairs and find your target. When you place the briefcase on the table, you will cause Mr. Purayah to walk towards the balcony, and consequently, turn his back to you. Wait till the patrolling guard leaves the room and strike quickly. Poison the target and drag his body to the container near the closet. Then, make sure to grab the walkie-talkie he dropped and get the heck out of there.

Angelina and a Piano
With the walkie-talkie in hand, you can now spot the next two targets on your map (provided they're outside). Angelina takes a stroll near the two Interest Points on the west side of the map.

Once you make your way there, scale a fire escape and make your way over to the pulley holding the piano suspended over the alley (why it's there is anyone's guess). Set the bomb and make your way back down to street level. Stay patient, wait for Angelina to stroll under the piano, detonate the bomb, and take solace in the fact that the poor crushed woman was a psychopathic hitwoman.

Sniping Raymond
Only one more target to go. Raymond is setting up from one of the three bars (blues, reggae, or rock). Look for him on the map, or listen to the background music on the walkie-talkie to determine his location.

Once you figure out where he is, look for a sniping position across the street (marked by an interest point on the map). Get into position with your sniper rifle and take him out as he pops his head out.

Diamonds are for Profit
Once Raymond is out of the picture, it's time to clean up any dropped weaponry, grab your suit, and make sure you pick up the briefcase full of diamonds before you escape to complete the secondary objective and earn that extra bit of scratch for upgrades and buyoffs.
