How to unlock the Sandman achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide

This is one of the first achievements you can/will unlock in this game.

Without touching the main game and to make things easier, go to CONTRACTS > TUTORIALS > CONTRACT BASICS. This will automatically start up the mission THE FIRST HIT :

Follow the instructions or simply run forward (hold cn_LB) to the gate and turn left where you can see a red/white colored sign "Private Property-No Trespassing". Enter this so-called hostile area and you can already see a gardener working here. Don't pick up the wrench or the brick. Simply walk (don't run) behind the guy and as soon as you are close enough the SUBDUE (tap cn_X) action/prompt will appear. Do so and keep tapping cn_X as shown until your victim falls asleep.

DON'T PRESS cn_Y or you will break his neck and fail!!!
As soon as you are done the achievement will/should unlock.

If anything is unclear or you have some questions, feel free to post. wink

You can also get this achievement right afterwards, click for more info:

You will definitely get this just by playing, but if you want the trophy as soon as you can then the earliest you can do it is level 2, The King of Chinatown. To subdue a person you just have to go up behind them while unarmed and it will say "Subdue ". Simply press to pull them to the floor. Now all you need to do is keep tapping until 47 lets go, don't snap their neck. See One of The Shadows for a video.

Instead of breaking the victim's neck, we poke him to disarm him.
