Plutonium Runs Loose is the 11th level in Hitman: Codename 47. It is the second and final mission of the hit on Arkadij Jegorov.

In Hitman: Contracts this level was remade as Deadly Cargo.

Description[]

After Agent 47's meddling with Ivan Zilvanovitch's trade-off, Agent 47 had achieved getting a tracking beacon and found his way to Arkadij Jegorov.

Agent 47 must squeeze his way through the harbor of Rotterdam, and kill Jegorov stopping his trade of weapons.

Mission Briefing[]

Well done. The GPS you "sold" to Ivan led us to Boris.

We have to move fast. Boris is getting ready to leave Rotterdam! You will be inserted next to the quay where Boris's ship is located. The area is locked off and the gates are guarded.

Note: we have last minute information that there might be a nuke on-board the ship! The model is old so you should be able to disarm it if necessary.

Boris is carrying a nuke on-board the ship. It is most likely well hidden and Boris might even arm it if he feels threatened. Take control of the ship, and start the engines from the bridge. Then steer the boat to a designated meeting point in international waters. We have information about a small arms depot in the harbor. Locate it and see if you can use any of it.

Notes[]

  • Boris will arm the nuke regardless of how the player approaches the mission, in fact, if one were to kill him without being detected at all, he still arms the nuke the second he dies. Even through the use of invisibilty and instant death to NPCs effects through cheats/console commands, he will arm the nuke.
  • Going to the weapon's cache's general area seems to trigger various guards to de-spawn from the level, resulting in no guards patrolling between the closed gates where they tell standing guards a password. Forcing the player to either take targets out froma distance, or shoot fast and accurately to get through.
  • The car bomb blows up when the engine is started even though no mention of this is given in the description. The bomb in Ambush at the Wang Fou Restaurant comes with a remote control to denote it
  • The gates's properties are bugged, firing through them causes your shots to sway off target, missing completely. It is advised to avoid this at all cost.

Trivia[]

  • This is the one of the only 2 levels in the game where the guards will inform their boss of any suspicious activities. The other one being The Lee Hong Assassination.
  • This level was combined with Gunrunner's Paradise and remade as Deadly Cargo in Hitman: Contracts.
  • After Boris arms the nuke, all remaining guards will gather at a large, tightly formed group in the north part of the map, close to a restricted area.
