Guys，do you think it’s more difficult to throw briefcase to knock NPC?The probability of locking is down I think.
I play on PS4 and I’ve noticed that unholstering a pistol now makes the Joystick vibrate, same as when taking firearms out of a briefcase. I’ve not played Hitman in a while, is this a feature that was added in this new patch? Seems to be an undocumented change, if so…

Seems like they also added a second stash point for The Author? There’s now the confession booth in the church in addition to the sewers.

I kinda like the pretzels tbh. fun reskin, tho when you place them on a plate they just turn into muffins which is a lil disapointing. also i hope that this feature of dual carry gets carried over to other things, it doesnt work on the sabres yet. i also love that they added newer items to the older maps with the pumpkins
i hope in the next patch they make it so if something goes on our back and is legal to carry that they just let us pick it without a briefcase

Um… The patch notes have been deleted from the IO website. The link in the post now 404’s.
Actually, looks like a bunch of stuff has been deleted. Everything relating to Season of The Banker and Season of the Dragon + recent 007 pages have been removed.

It’s the one suit where 47’s tie clips into his jacket/body instead of being solid. It’s visible every time you are in cover etc.

This should be a working link @thrison,
I’m also updating the head post with it.
ioi.dk also had some some 404 issues last Thursday, as roadmap/Lee announcement/patch notes publication happened.
(ioi.dk/hitman/blogs, the news index page, returned a 404 during the roll up)
EDIT October 1st:
link re-updated. Should be good.
The site still has issues when clicking on the panel version of the article, the default one.
But a direst link to the stand-alone page seems to work.

So, I want to give credit where credit is due. And so I want to start off this post with that. In Freelancer, the restricting of the chem set in the shed to only using the mushroom is a good thing. I tested it and it works beautifully, and it’s something we’ve been asking for, for over two years now. So that was good, thank you IOI.
There are some other things that were done that were also good. Lots of fixes to the Banker ET issues. But, this leads to me to a thought: why were there so many issues with it in the first place? Why weren’t they all cleared up before release? The latest ET throws this into stark relief as well, as notes were made that an issue was known before it was even released and was dealt with later. Why was it still released? Freelancer was delayed by almost a year, I’m pretty sure we would have been fine with a delay with a new ET if it meant there wouldn’t be all these problems.
It was good that some outfits were corrected to show right. But this leads me to wonder why 47’s suit jackets have still not been fixed to not clip through his tie, through his wrist, and through benches in Miami. Seriously, the tail end of that jacket clips right through the bottom of the bench to where it not only looks like 47’s ass is falling through the seat, but that it’s grown twice as big as it was before he sat down. For years this has been the case. Where is the fix?
Also existing for years are issues like: a twice claimed fix to Freelancer boat animation, that is in fact not fixed. SA status being lost when kicking Robert Knox onto Sierra’s car; still not fixed. Triggering the conversation with Farrah on Ambrose island to follow the mission story; still not fixed. Alma repeating her phone call in Nightcall instead of going back to bed; still not fixed.
And as has been pointed out by some already, pulling out any kind of pistol during gameplay now causes a rumble effect in the controller, which was not there until the day of the update. Changes made to patch the game resulted in a physical reaction to our hardware. How the hell did this happen?
But, at least that cactus growing out of another plant got patched…? 
I know the common wisdom is that the game is down to a mere handful of devs working on it now and that’s why so many things that need to be worked on haven’t been, but the past 3 ETs - all of which involved money being paid for the use of celebrities btw - implemented sweeping changes to major maps and whole knew mechanics used in those changed maps. I can no longer believe that either A) only a few people are working on this, or B) that they don’t have the time to fix what needs to be fixed. Seems what needs to be fixed is being mostly ignored in favor of the next event… which also needs immediate fixes every time now, it seems.

So, they fixed the localization issues from the previous patch but introduced a bunch of new ones on this one, I’m not surprised. The new challenge in Colorado, alongside several intel and prompts from the new ET are not translated (in spanish at least). Still have to check the pretzel, I haven’t unlocked it yet. The DLC items and the drop apple are properly localized at least.
Why do they half-ass things? Is it really that hard/expensive to have a proper localization team?

Took ‘em two and a half years to make it so only the mushroom goes into the Freelancer chemistry set. Are we really gonna be surprised at half-assing?
Glad we can finally move on from this famous mushroom bug everyone’s been talking about
Since this latest patch, you can no longer go back through tabs when selecting your loadout (PS4 at least). For instance, when selecting the Emetic Device, you can’t tab over to Distractions and go back one anymore. You have to go through the entire tab start to finish. Also, when changing a pickup item, you used to start at the last selection. Now, it resets back to the beginning of the pistols. You can’t switch between two items that are right next to each other without going through the entire category.
This change, combined with moving Freelancer from the home screen, significantly increases the amount of button pushing required to accomplish the same thing. It also makes all the reskin unlocks more of a burden than before. My creepy marketing theory is that this change was implemented to keep the menus uniform across all platforms, and success is measured differently on iOS. Every additional second across however many devices goes a long way toward padding user engagement numbers. Fingers crossed that theory is bogus and the change was unintentional.

Honestly having read through these notes on my break just now, this is a pretty good sizeable patch with a lot of nice fixes.
Maybe not entirely stuff that we’ve been hoping for for a while now (can someone remind of a list of issues that’ve been in the game for a while? I’m not up to date.)
But that PS5 saving bug. Gosh. So good.
…
Oh dear god. 
Was there any translation attempted at first?
What the heck is the Golden Wrench? Now this, I don’t think I’ve ever seen.
Ohh… oh wow… three years later?? As Intended? I feel a little doubt on that given how long its been, but.. egh, okay… that was a neat little trick for a while to get multiple deadly poisons easily.

I assume those Switch 2 DLCs will be coming to other platforms eventually, since they’re generic enough to just be nods to Mario and Luigi that I can’t see a real reason for them to be exclusive there forever.
And the platform-exclusive suits too (PS/Xbox/PC/iOS).

I second ALL platform exclusive suits/items being available to everyone as well. Especially since there is precedent with the Google Stadiaitems being added to all versions of Hitman World of Assassination.
I’m on Xbox, but want all the suits too.

Travis said a few years ago there were plans to get the suits out, but then he left and it never happened. CG said at some point last year he’d pick it up, so hopefully it still happens…
