Dishonored 2 chaos: points per kill and when a mission turns High
Dishonored 2 counts chaos in points. Every kill adds points, and each mission compares the total with two thresholds: past the first the mission ends in High Chaos, past the second in Very High. The chaos rules list both for every mission.
Who costs the most chaos?
The game weighs a kill by two facts about the person: their morality and whether they were armed. Killing an unarmed Sympathetic person adds 10 points; an armed Guilty guard adds 4; an armed Murderous one adds only 2.
- Sympathetic, unarmed
- 10 points
- Sympathetic, armed
- 6 points
- Guilty, unarmed
- 8 points
- Guilty, armed
- 4 points
- Murderous, unarmed
- 6 points
- Murderous, armed
- 2 points
The Heart tells you who someone is before
you decide; its lines differ for people the game counts guilty or innocent.
How many kills turn a mission High?
The thresholds grow through the campaign. In Edge of the World a mission turns High at 55 points: 14 armed Guilty guards reach it, or 6 unarmed Sympathetic people. By Death to the Empress the High threshold is 460.

Death of the Outsider sets the thresholds of four of its five missions out of reach (a million points), so no number of kills turns them High.
