True, but not by choice.

Just a fact, not fun at all.

I wonder if anyone went for the Ouroborous theme and used the 7DS Serpentās Bite.
(what a disappointment that item ended up being by the way, it should have been a micro explosive reskin, not of the suspicious ones)

Jesus, I canāt believe I didnāt think of this. Well played.
Before Lust came out, I also expected this to be a legal carry, if not a micro explosive. More like a duck that you could stick to surfaces.

Yeah tbh I donāt really get why a guy in a tuxedo carrying a propane tank to the auction in Paris is not suspicious, but the same guy pulling out some kind of snake statuette of his pocket is :x

It being a micro explosive? No.
It being a legal duck-like item? Now that is a missed opportunity, gotta say.

Most of the 7DS unlocks were disappointing, the only ones that are worth getting are the snail, the gum, and the crossbow. The greed cane could have been more usefull if it was concealable in 47ās back.

That gun is part of the Trinity Pack DLC (originally the H3 pre-order bonus). I donāt (canāt lol) keep track of all the different configurations of this game but I don"t remember this being a part of the deluxe version of the WOA.
If thatās the case, then it would make the statistic even more impressive because that would mean a shit ton of people either pre-ordered H3 or bought the DLC pack ioi finally released.

Okay, yeah, I just completely missed that, thatās a good catch.
Thatā¦thatās a very weird statistic, yeah.

I donāt find that to be true honestly:
- The Devilās Cane can spawn coins, can act as a melee weapon and it looks quite cool. We have a lack of cane items in the game, so iām all for it. It can also be used in Dartmoor to unlock the switches around the house, which technically makes it a legal variant of that item if thatās true.
- The Slapdash SMG is silenced, based on one of the better one-handed SMGās in the game (the Dak X2, so the spread is really tight). If you like SMGās thereās really no downside it having it in a mission.
- The Goldbrick for its sedative properties which we all know about.
- The Serpentās Tongue (the crossbow) is a really cool take on a flash device that iām surprised itās not been reused more often. Really cool concept and idea honestly.
- The Maximalist Shotty is concealable, is gold, and generally looks quite fancy. Also good for loud runs.
- The āBubble Queenā Gum Pack as itās a really cool no-noise sedative weapon that doesnāt draw outside-of-room attention. In many cases, I prefer this over the goldbrick.
- The Shashka Beast is a must-have if you like doing loud runs. Better ammo capacity, and generally decent recoil.
- The Roar Flash Grenade. Itās a legal to carry flash device not unlike the flash phone, and also looks really cool. If I need to have a flashie, Iāll take it.
EDIT: You CAN use the cane on dartmoor to open doorsā¦interesting! I wasnāt sure.

For all Iāve wanted to use the Roar Flash Grenade, I never actually use the thing. Note that it is a proximity flash device. Surely there are strategies to pull off with it, but, while a cool and unique item, its usage has proven limited in my experience.
I like the Devilās Cane. Note that the cane already present in Dartmoor is legal to carry, although not to pick up. I wish the cane didnāt need a briefcase or a smuggle point to bring in to a mission. But the same can be said of many of the larger items.

The Roar Flash Grenade comes in super handy when you want to poison something in public without bothering to get a legal disguise. Like The Censorās drink or something in New York (which doesnāt even have a legal disguise).

Heyo, thatās a good idea. I noticed that about New York recently when I was playing a Showdown there and seeing how best to poison the leaderās drinkā¦

The sedative bubble gum is the only one I truly found use for personally. As in planning a run around it.
Sapienza, I place it on the path going from the pier to the lab.
The grieving scientist will find it. So by the time I come back, she will have been awakened by her bodyguard, leaving being a keycard and more importantly the Biolab Laptop Dongle. Allowing for a clean virus destruction.
The rest of the item can be fun, but I never found a run defining use for them.
Also for me: The cane could be fun, if it didnāt demanded a briefcase (I donāt like leaving things behind). The serpent tongue will be useful during the flash, but then panic/send in guards into search mode, which is something I always avoid. Same with the Roar Flash Grenade.
Overall, as fun variations, and showcases of mechanics that will scratch the brain in a amusing way, as they are. They are just not the way I like to play the game, and use loadout options.
I am though immensely glad that they are in the game. Game is better with them inside.
Now give me my silenced striker IOI.

Damn, I am going to have to replay the ET Arcade and use this.
This is in 7DSās Lust escalation, not ETA.
I know that, I unlocked it back in 2021. I am referring to the fact of using the Serpentās Bite I the Ouroborous ETA.

Ah, okay, apologies.
At this point I am feeling ashamed on behalf of IOI.
Someone at IOI pls stop this cheap madness of resurrecting that dead man.
