Hitman World of Assassination - 3.140 - January 26th Patch Notes

Yes, I know… But back in the CTT this was my biggest complaint and it is a bit depressing that the supposed change did not change that at all…

My feedback back then was:

@FSMcas

But here comes the big problem: After only a few missions I already see myself keeping weapons in my Safehouse, not using them.

That’s what I feared and it already happened. I collected a silenced SMG. I bought a sniper rifle. Now, of course, I will never ever use those weapons because I will always think, “let’s finish this campaign and they will be saved in my safehouse”. And after the campaign, I will think, “let’s not take them with me because they were really rare to find and expensive. And if I fail, they will be gone.”
So, I can tell you here and now that I will start every mission ever with no starting items. Maybe a generic pistol I know I can get back in every level. But I would never risk losing a silenced pistol, an electric hacking tool or any other useful item! Because there is always another way. I will never require them to finish a mission and therefore I will never risk losing it in case of a failure.

This is a massive problem.

An option would have been to make all previously found items purchasable in the safe house.

A perfect example for you: If you only have one sniper rifle, you could end up losing it for some reason and then not have it in the next mission - because maybe the merchant does not offer one. This is basically my thought process: “what if I need it in the next mission?” and therefore never using it
