Considering there was a bug with doubled props… Perhaps it worked at some point… Or could still work. 
The last few unlocks, aside from the ICA Impact Explosive (Durian, Unicorn Horn, Pinot Noir), use that weird “gear - melee” category in the inventory instead of the usual “weapons - melee”. While I still don’t understand why this category exists, at least now the Small Gold Bar is no longer alone.

Sorry if not the right thread for this or if it’s been brought up before. I haven’t exactly found out the answer to this but I realised the map of Sapienza in the ICA safehouse has a red cross on it. Only one. Figuring “X Marks The Spot” I took a shovel over there and scoured the cliff face for buried treasure, but nothing showed up. I tried multiple disguises too.
I thought maybe it just shows the cannabis joint for some reason, but the location is off and it seems to point to this rock to me, judging by the location of the boat.
Checking hitmaps I can’t see anything there although I also just discovered there is a sewer key in the champagne bottle if you’re dressed as the plague doctor (why?) So maybe it could be that, but again the location seems off as that is distinctly to the rear end of the boat.
Anybody know anything more about this? I’m curious now.

Look around the sewers for a place to use that key. You’ll know when you’ve found it.

I see, thanks. Interesting easter egg I wasn’t aware of, is it a reference to something specific? And so the key is what the X on the map points to?

A reference? I’d assume a plague… Thus the plague Dr. disguise. As for the X on the map… I can’t say for certain, but the wine bottle/sewer key would seem the most logical.

I believe if you went to the crypt dressed as the plague doctor then a bunch of skeletal hands would start waving or something.

Notice the destroyed camera?
Today I found out I shouldn’t use a briefcase for that.
At least it only had the oil canister inside.

I did that in Berlin with the camera over the back lot by the red scooter. Lost my ICA Crowbar. Very annoying.

Made that mistake too at some point. But that’s when you realize that all the useless muffins/apples/burgers are great for cameras

Even coins and other “non-melee” stuff (that won’t normally lock on) if you can do the item throw switch exploit. Not to replace those other things - but to expand your camera-destroying arsenal.

Does the throw glitch still work? I was trying to do it recently for some contracts but I couldn’t seem to get it, but it’s more than possible I just don’t have the timing down…
It should… Unless there was an update that came along with the surprise FCs. I’ll check, come back, and edit to verify.
Edit: Yep. Still works.

Ok, yeah I suspected it might just be a skill issue, I’ll have to give it another go. Thanks for confirming!

Speaking of syringes, allow me to ruin Freelancer for you:
If you look at the tray where you can craft syringes in your safehouse, you’ll notice that it has a disassembled Antique syringe on it, despite the fact it bestows modern syringes.
Literally Unplayable.

Speaking of syringes, am I right in thinking the Antique Sedative Syringe is only available in Freelancer and you can’t store this in 47’s inventory for the Campaign and Contracts mode?

Yes, you are right about that.

I really only just found out that there’s a “Hitman 2” video game in Mumbai.
Don’t know if I find this very cool or kind of strange. 47 could play himself? It’s kind of immersion breaking, right? Or just an easter egg? On the other hand: Why H2? Why not just go with the GOAT “Codename 47”? Or having a laugh and “Hitman Absolution”?
Would be nice if we could actually play here a little mission and not just looking at it. Or if we start the game in this arcade 47 would transform into 47 from H2 for the rest of the mission.

There are some other games in it. Off the top of my head I believe Rocco’s monitor in Sapienza has the Sniper Challenge and there is an even more meta Hitman 3 monitor in Ambrose (in one of the houses near the buccaneer disguise/durian kitchen). May be some more dotted around but I’m not sure without looking.

The Sniper Challenge for Rocco is understandable: The guy winning the Sniper Challenge got his place in the game as Rocco.
Will search for the one im Ambrose…
