How to unlock the Sandman achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide
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 ) 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 ) action/prompt will appear. Do so and keep tapping as shown until your victim falls asleep.
If anything is unclear or you have some questions, feel free to post.
You can also get this achievement right afterwards, click for more info:
Happy killing,
