Thank you so much for this! That explains the weird issues I sometimes, but not always had with shotguns and katanas in Freelancer.

This is all very weird because Montgomery is the leader so presumably he should be allowed to carry whatever. It’s also weird because not being able to carry ARs, boomsticks, and swords makes the generic security outfit probably the least “powerful” guard outfit in the game.

All right so the floating banana on the kitchen table has already been pointed out, but I noticed something else about this magic banana. I don’t know if this is old news to you all, but it’s new news to me.
If while choosing your kitchen table, you come to the Kronstadt/Undying table from the pizza boxes table to the left (so, left to right), the banana will be in the middle, like where it was with the pizza:
But if you come to the Kronstadt table from the right, the banana will be on the corner:

I almost doubt I’ll do this… But the other day I was in Mumbai playing a takedown Freelancer. I ended up throwing my sniper-rifled stuffed briefcase at a crow guard, and the door closed behind him. I didn’t bring a lockpick.
So thinking in my mind “Where is a crowbar?” and I immediately think of the train car by the corner of Shah’s territory. Later I realized there was one that was a little closer.
Having read somewhere about “fetch quests” I thought, why not (if I’m ever so bored) go on an item fetch quest for different missions?
Not to get whatever I come across as I go, but rather seek specific things out and collect them. Then maybe go for another type of item. Hmm… Yeah. That might take way too long. Perhaps a list of items to find would be better.
Find…
8 screwdrivers,
4 crowbars,
11 bricks,
6 coins…
etc. so on and so forth.
This would require making a list from Hitman maps or hitmaps (whichever one), then proceeding from there.

Probably not new and surprising at all, but it is only today I noticed that the Caruso bodyguard disguise allows you access in the church “backstage” area and tower. Kind of weird from a narrative point of view and maybe a leftover from Caruso’s beta-route which took him to church?

I’m starting to see things in blood puddles.
Is it me or is that a guy in a black vest, a little beard and glasses talking on the phone or some such?
Feel free to tilt your head to the left a little.
The guy’s left hand is quite easy to spot and his face is right next to it. I’ve circled the face.

Kinda looks like it, but more significantly: is that a blood puddle from Hitman, or a real one, because that changes my reaction a bit.

Then that is creepy, because that means someone designed that. Which leads to the next question: did they know?

Could be an inside joke, based on a picture or painting.
Once you see it, it kind of looks designed.
Given it’s not Jesus.
Wait, is it Jesus?

Looks more like Jemaine Clement in his getup from Men In Black 3 on a phone call.

Looks like the distorted reflection of a smiling clown for me.

Just got this in my recommendations, this is such a cool hidden interaction! I can’t be the only one finding about this just now?
I figure this is the intended way to complete “Scare Sophia in Janus outfit” and “Kill Sophia with sickle & hammer” challenges.

Nice! Didn´t know about this either. I´m pretty sure I did the challenge back then just by walking up to her somewhere in the castle.

Pretty cool and quite elaborated for a kill that can be set with a few coins anyway.

Wow. And you can even sit in that chair with the disguise? Pretty damn cool.
I guess that kinda makes sense how the Janus disguise would need to tie into the Hammer Sickle challenge, but wow, this is news to me!

If only everything in the WoA trilogy was kept secret for players to find on their own like this instead of being spoiled in challenges and story missions.

Does Zoe Washington react in the same way?

In 2018, I completed this challenge haphazardly by running throughout the entire castle and causing chaos, and eventually ran into Zoe. I think she fainted when she saw 47 dressed as Janus?
It’s been a long time though, so not exactly sure on that
