Assassination Contract Videos
I have just figured out how to start recording and im going to do a series of assassination contracts. I have only just figured out how to record, the first one is very bad but they get better as the series progresses
These contracts will be done slightly different to how you did them. You know how you dont really use smoke bombs, poisen and the pistol much in the game? Well i left all the contracts right till i got the pistol ( except the first one sadly). Now im replaying them and recording them done using different weapons and methods to give it a more "Sniper Assassin" feel. I wont be seen by any guards as well. Usually the first clip will show me assassinating them and getting away without being seen at all. Sometimes on the way to the spot I am spotted by an archer though, but he usually dies instantly.
I will add other clips if i feel it is too short where i just kill them in fun ways, like this video.

I am also always notorious to add to the challenge. I hope this inspires people to play notorious more often, as it makes you use the crowds more and makes it more stealthy and challenging. This should act as a template to those who wish to now replay them and do it without being seen.
I have also not bought any armor except the one i had to at the start, and i have not repaired it. I have collected the minimal amount of codex pages so my health is very low.
The videos are at this channel

You mention that you already completed the first contract mission, but luckily for you, you can replay these missions (but not story missions for some reason). So you can go back whenever you want and replay assassination contracts through the DNA strands accessed from the pause screen.
One thing I'd like to mention is that while not necessary, smoke bombs come in handy quite often. I can immediately think of two missions where they are an extreme help.
One of the missions, the name slips my mind at the moment, is where you must kill 10 brutes in 60 seconds. That's an average of 1 brute every 6 seconds, making for a near impossible challenge for weapons alone. You can't be stealthy because they're all in a pack together, and you lock into a fight very quickly. This is where the smoke bomb comes in. Throw one down, and you can quickly dual blade assassinate many of the brutes. If you're quick enough, it will only take two smoke bombs to dispatch them, and you can be done in less than 20 seconds.
Another example is a mission where you must follow an individual to a location where you must assassinate five targets. The courtyard is littered with guards, and gaining access stealthily is almost impossible due to the fact that guards are posted looking in every direction and do not move. The best option is to jump into the center of the courtyard from the roof and immediately throw down a smoke bomb, then work quickly to take out the targets. It took me 2-3 smoke bombs when I did it, and after you kill the 5 targets you can simply run up and over the front wall to escape.
Sometimes you have to be practical, and while smoke bombs and poison aren't usually necessary, occasionally they'll be the best option available. I'm sure there are more missions where this principle applies, so be on the lookout for them.
Good luck!
Thanks, i already did those missions and i managed to do them without smoke bombs and remain anonymous. If you want to know how i guess you could watch them. I also added in a few extra clips using smoke bombs just for fun, using your exact technique on the same missions you mentioned.
Peacekeeper is the name where i kill 10 Brutes, i use a lot of equipment there to make it interesting.
I added the first mission in anyway, although i like having it show the money i earnt on the first clip. The quality is horrible and its a boring mission anyway so i wouldn't recommend watching it. The rest of them
