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…
It is basically H2 in H2.
The real H2 hiding inside the imposter.
Maybe an ester egg as Hitman 2 Silent Assassin has levels from India (Mumbai is in India):
- Temple City Ambush
- The Death of Hannelore
- Terminal Hospitality
Good Job mate ![]()

This technique is helpful to attract an NPC sticking to that location infinitely if we put an audio distraction in the suitcase. The audio distractor is unreachable and the NPC keeps searching in that point.
Because IO is afraid to remind people that they made their best game 24 years ago.
This is like going up to a stranger and saying “I peaked during my infancy!” Like can we move the peak somewhere higher? Like maybe say “We peaked in college/with Blood Money”?
Oh wow I didn’t know this? Where about’s is this in Mumbai? ![]()
I know you can find this and I think also the Sniper Challenge in the internet cafe to the left of the default starting area. ![]()
Not sure where this pic was taken, but it could be from there.
Yes, it’s inside the first shop on your left from the default starting location. Shop (Arcade) is on the corner and has a lot of “Freedom Fighter” in it.
This Gestapo-esque “Woke Content Detector” that blacklists games with “overtly pro-LGBTQ+/pro-DEI messaging”, condemns Red Dead Redemption 2 for having progressive characters like Sadie Adler and even derides Overcooked for having a wheelchair-bound character, gave our Hitman: World of Assassination their gold star, woke-free stamp of approval.
I’m glad they love our game about an aroace metrosexual with Five Fathers and no mother who gets ordered around by a woman to murder white capitalist billionaires and whose targets include:
- Donald Trump ripoff #1 Anthony L. Troutt, who swears to ban books on evolution
- Donald Trump ripoff #2 “right-wing populist” Marco Abiatti
- A white banker who scammed an African nation of their money
- A nepobaby who white privileged his way out of murder and his lawyer who got even more rich white idiots off on affluenza charges
- Two conservative commentators from a conservative think thank, one even making a crack about the liberal media, who, even despite their public denial of climate change, know that its a very real threat and pressure their energy CEOs into going green
- A meritocratic libertarian and another global warming denialist who spends billions undermining climate activists
- A Margaret Thatcher ripoff who started the Falklands War
- A serial killer attempting to kill one half of an engaged lesbian couple
Not to mention Olivia Hall:
