This literally was the worst item in the game. It took away from the puzzle side of things which hitman is a huge part of being….a puzzle. And that phone contradicted the very core of the game design.
If ever they bring it back, it should just be a KO item, not lethal.
Same should be with the regular tasers, they should not electrocute to kill, but shock to knock out. And body found should not negate SA.
