omfg.
After only playing this game since H1 launch in March 2016, I only just realised on PS4/PS5 you can drop your currently held item by pressing down on the d-pad. I’ve always gone into the inventory and dropped it. Never wondered why I thought it was the only button on the controller the game didn’t have a use for. 
In Freelancer, if you bring back at home an empty cannister of gasoline (after using it during a mission), it will be available again for a future mission in your tool.
Same goes for the water canister.
You cannot be serious.
“Omfg” is right.
Freelancer has made me really appreciate Mendoza again, and I’ve learned how insanely good the waiter disguise is on the map, especially for being a standard disguise and not a unique one like Helmut Kruger or Dr. Lafayette.
And you can get it in various places too, it’s not a disguise thats a pain to get unless you get it one way specifically
And there’s also an even easier way to get it, just enter the room that’s behind the asado and bonk / hide the single waiter there, it’s technically trespassing but nobody’s gonna care lol
But yeah I totally agree with you, I generally dislike Mendoza in contracts mode but in Freelancer it’s actually a very fun map that suits a variety of purposes (good sniping map, good suit only map, good showdown map…).
This is more of a wild theory, but it recently popped up in my mind, that Ark Society council member outfits having masks on both sides of the head could possibly be a reference to Janus (a Roman god who is usually depicted with 2 faces), since that organisation was first founded by Janus (the Russian one).
Yes, that is most likely the reference; given Janus was the founder of the society, and the Roman God in question was well-known for being a two-faced liar and adept at deception and trickery. Makes his name also quite amusing, as one wonders if the KGB ever expected him to defect all those years ago.
Janus wasn’t depicted with two faces because he was a “two-faced liar”. He was the god of transitions and change. He has one face looking backward into the past and one looking forward into the future.
It’s the reason the new year starts with January, a time when you’re meant to reflect on the events of the past year and look forward to what might happen in the coming year.
Did you write that TV Tropes page?
I don’t recall writing that specific line. But, good eye, that is what I was quoting.
I wish I wrote that, because it makes me laugh so much.
EDIT: I checked the Hitman 2 character page history (as Janus’ folder was moved quite a while ago to the Providence subpage to tidy things up), and someone called Psyclone wrote it:
They took the joke a bit too far with the variety of ducks we have as of now.
Crystal dawn fake disguises are actually in the school military base! Would have been cool if you could join a platoon of those “fake” soldiers to make the riot storms the consulet and stranberg feels.
from concept art:
This is so cool!! 
First time I’m seeing this concept art.
Once it was a fun gag, now it’s a plague that has run rampant since 2016. I absolutely dispise the rubber duck in Hitman. I hope to never see them return again in coming games, only in a bathtub. Where they belong.
Don’t like ducks, don’t like Blood Money: do you even Hitman, bro? 
I like Pizza, but that doesn’t mean I want it to stuffed down my throat like a Foie Gras goose. It was a fun gag in Codename 47 and the other games that used the duck sparingly.
And yes “I Hitman, bro” But just the good stuff. Like Codename 47, Silent Assassin and Contacts. Not to say that the new trilogy isn’t good, it’s just not as good.
