This page explains how Roulette Rivals spins are generated and how spin conditions are interpreted during matches. It covers the spin generation process, disguise and kill method rules, unique kill methods, and banned conditions.
A roulette spin (or simply a spin) assigns each target a different kill method and disguise, creating a unique set of conditions that must be completed during a run. In this example spin, on The Showstopper mission in Paris, Viktor Novikov must be eliminated in a fall accident disguised as Tech Crew, while Dalia Margolis must be eliminated with a Kitchen Knife disguised as Stylist. Both kills must be valid but may be completed in either order, with the run ending in a 5-star Silent Assassin rating upon exit.
For a kill to be valid, both assigned conditions must be fulfilled at the moment of death. This means the player must be wearing the correct disguise and eliminate the target using the assigned kill method at the point the game registers the elimination: either when the target finishes their death animation or when the “target eliminated” audio cue plays, whichever happens first.
¶ Spin Generation
All Roulette Rivals spins are generated using the HITMAPS spin algorithm. The full documentation is available here, but a shorter explanation specific to Roulette Rivals is provided below. Spins use the default generation settings defined on https://roulette.hitmaps.com/. Specifically, Roulette Rivals spins do not include generic kill conditions or restrictions on additional objectives.
The algorithm processes each target in the order in which they appear in the spin and assigns each one a different legal disguise and a different legal kill method. A disguise may be any outfit available on the map that counts toward the Chameleon challenge, as well as 47's suit. A kill method is generated in two stages: first, one of the three kill categories is selected at random, after which a specific method within that category is chosen.
Variants: If the selected kill method is either Explosive (Weapon) or belongs to the Firearms category, it may receive a variant, modifying the name of the kill condition.
- Firearms have a 50% chance to receive no variant, a 25% chance to receive a Silenced variant (e.g., Silenced Pistol), and a 25% chance to receive a Loud variant (e.g., Loud SMG).
- Explosive (Weapon) kills have a 33.3% chance each to receive a Remote, Loud, or Impact variant (e.g., Remote Explosive (Weapon)).
Complications: If the selected kill method belongs to the Firearms or Melee Weapons categories, there is a 25% chance that the red No Target Pacification complication is added.
Additional rules to spin generation include:
- A spin may not contain two or more large firearms (Assault Rifle, Shotgun, or Sniper Rifle), as this would otherwise force players to start in suit with a briefcase.
- Certain disguises (Prisoner for Claus Hugo Strandberg in Marrakesh, Stalker in Bangkok, Knight's Armor in Isle of Sgàil) are classified as remote-only for some or all targets due to their restricted access across the map. If one of these disguises is selected, it may only appear together with a limited set of kill methods: Consumed Poison, Electrocution, Explosion (Accident), Fire, and Remote Explosive (Weapon).
- On Berlin, kills are generated for generic targets labeled "Agent #1" through "Agent #5" rather than specific agents. Players may eliminate any five agents to fulfill the spin. Additional agents may also be eliminated, but the first five kills must match the assigned conditions.
¶ Hokkaido (Erich Soders)
Erich Soders, who lies on the operating table for the entire mission, is a unique target with a restricted set of possible kill methods, where his non-Firearm kills are replaced by several unique accidents.
Because Soders can be affected by server delays, his kills are considered valid the moment they are executed; unlike normal targets, it is not necessary to wait for visual or audio "target eliminated" cues before changing disguises.

¶ Disguises
Players must ensure each target is eliminated while wearing the disguise assigned in the spin. At the moment of death, the player's disguise name must match the condition shown on the spin. If the assigned disguise is Suit, the kill must be performed while wearing 47's suit.
Players may start at any location unlocked through mastery and may use any unlockable suit variant, with the following exceptions:
- Use of the Midnight Black Suit or Black Streak Suit is prohibited on all maps.
- Use of the Plague Doctor suit is prohibited in Sapienza.
In addition to starting in a suit (at any starting location that counts for Silent Assassin, Suit Only rating), players may also acquire a valid suit by equipping one of the following on-map variants:
- VIP Patient (47) in Hokkaido
- Swimwear in Haven Island
- Ashen Suit in Dubai
- Tactical Wetsuit in Mendoza
¶ Kill Methods
Players must ensure that each target is eliminated using the kill method assigned in the spin. The sections below describe how individual kill methods are interpreted in Roulette Rivals.
Kill methods in the Firearms category are performed by shooting the target with the assigned firearm. Players may bring their own weapons or obtain them from the map or its NPCs. A silenced firearm is any weapon featuring the Suppressor perk, while firearms without this perk are considered loud.
Kill methods in the Accidents & Poison category are defined as follows:
- Drowning — the target is eliminated using the Drown prompt.
- Electrocution — the target is electrocuted, typically using tasers or car batteries.
- Fall — the target dies from a fall, typically using the Push or Dump prompt, including deaths in water or outside the map.
- Falling Object — the target is eliminated by an object dropped or launched onto them.
- Fire — the target burns to death, typically in oil puddles or incinerators.
- Injected Poison — the target is eliminated with poison delivered by syringe.
- Consumed Poison — the target is eliminated with poison not delivered by syringe (e.g., food, drink, fumigation).
- Explosion (Accident) — the target is eliminated in an accidental explosion, typically using propane flasks or gas canisters.
- Explosive (Weapon) — the target is eliminated in a non-accidental explosion, typically using breaching charges or other remote explosives.
- Remote Explosive (Weapon) — the explosive must be used using a detonator (e.g., Remote Breaching Charge).
- Loud Explosive (Weapon) — any explosive weapon may be used except breaching charges (e.g., ICA Micro Remote Explosive).
- Impact Explosive (Weapon) — an impact explosive must be used without using a detonator (e.g., Explosive Baseball).
Oil Canisters can count for both Fire (after spilling oil) and Explosion (Accident) kills (by shooting them).
Molotov Cocktails only count for Impact Explosive (Weapon) and Loud Explosive (Weapon) kills.
Kill methods in the Melee Weapons category include:
- Neck Snap — performed using only 47's hands.
- Fiber Wire — performed using the Fiber Wire, its on-map reskins (e.g., Measuring Tape), or unlockable variants (e.g., Earphones).
- Additionally, any item listed under Lethal Melee on HITMAPS.com (excluding Fiber Wire reskins) may appear as a kill method and may be used either for a lock-on thrown kill or a melee elimination. The item used must exactly match the spun condition (e.g., a White Katana cannot fulfill a Katana kill). While most Lethal Melee items must be obtained on the map, certain unlockable variants may also be brought via loadout (see the Full List of Unlockables guide on Steam).
- The only exception to this is the Aztec Necklace in Isle of Sgàil, as the only Fiber Wire variant to appear as a specific Lethal Melee item.

¶ Unique Kills
Certain targets can also be eliminated using unique kill methods, which are cutscene-based or otherwise special ways to eliminate a target. Each unique kill belongs to one of the standard kill categories and is treated as a separate method during spin generation.
When applicable, a unique kill can also satisfy a standard condition. For example, Sean Rose's Explosive Watch Battery also counts as an Explosion (Accident) kill.
