That’s what I’m saying. They reused the asset, when, if I recall correctly, the one for the Warlord mission had its own description. Now it has the description from a different ET rather than its own.

Don’t know if this belongs in here. But today I’ve seen for the first time a target (after sieker) walking all over the map – ended up drowning in the ocean (not on video):

I am playing around in the ET Arcade, finishing up some contracts I never completed. I am playing the Angel of Death, a mission I originally missed and only have experience with in the arcade. It’s not a very good mission but I love Marrakesh as I lived in Morocco from 2008-2010 and the town square and music and vibes speak to me.
I almost never dress in the White Shadow ninja suit, but today I felt like it. I just learned that guards and other NPCs have unique – and hilarious – voicelines for the ninja!
There’s also a part where the target and her overkill retinue of guards are looking at a shop, she speaks a line about all the beautiful and vibrant fruit, and then her main squeeze red beret suggests she try the maakouda — except that maakouda is not fruit but fried potato patties, which you’d buy 2-3 at a time and have the guy stuff in a half-circle of bread, maybe add some sauce and you have your travel sandwich.
I also spent some time listening to the target in Lamp Shop Alley, one of my absolute favorite places in the entire game. A merchant spoke to me, then spoke to me more, trying to convince me to buy stuff, then to be his friend… and later when I was in the bigger town bazaar area, I noticed he was right behind me, telling me stories and pleading me to pay attention to him. Hah! What? This guy just follows you around? Is that in the main mission? I never knew this!
Later the main guard mentions zaalouk, which is delicious.

DeSantis isn’t the only relatively uncommon surname that is shared with both a notable Hitman World of Assassination character and a major American politician.
Our favourite English PI, Phineas Whitmer, shares his surname with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Eyes on the Resolute Desk, Gretch. We’ll get there one day.
It’s an even closer match than the DeSantises, since DeSantis the Governor has no space in between his surname while De Santis the Hitman target does.
Hey, let’s do a poll. Who would you rather vote for President of the United States?
- Phineas Whitmer
- Francesca De Santis

The Witmer/Carlisle 2025 Campaign is not going very well.

I don’t know why the vast majority of people (me Included) chose De Santis.
I guess it’s because Witmer sounded a little incompetent. I never gave him a chance anyway, always knock him out before anything.

Unless I just haven’t played FL in a long enough time - this is the 1s time I’ve seen this as a food item to poison. 
Edit: Pizza too?

These are very common haha but the pizzas scary me when I need to poison my target because in the beginning of Freelancer the pizza was duplicated and the target would eat from a second unpoisoned one under the one you poisoned, I think it was fixed already but the fear remains.

If an NPC has puking in its routine they don’t count as occupying the bathroom. But if you sieker them and they stay exactly the same the bathroom counts as occopyied. The original target won’t go there and finds another place.

I’ve just realised that, of the three times 47 has gone to England, at least two of those times he has gone to the south-west (Cornwall in Absolution, Dartmoor in Hitman 3). We aren’t told where Beldingford Manor is, according to the wiki, although it could totally be in that part of the country too?
This also means that there’s a lot more potential for English missions that two mansions and a graveyard hasn’t quite tapped into. Sgail’s the only UK mission outside of England but even then, it is just an island in the sea without many (or any) Scots. Perhaps with this information I’ll add the Cotswolds onto my location wishlist 
… or even a trip to Schaeffer-Moore’s R&D facility!!

I got the job applicant with an emetic as he was throwing up in the toilet and he immediately walked over into the next bathroom stall to throw up in, yes you guessed it, the trash bin.

So, remember Squeky Toy? Yeah, that one-time distraction?
Some of you might know, that it makes a sound when stepped on (most noticabely, when you climd through the window in Hawks Bay). And this sound distracts npc. That makes the item useful as a distraction which you can use without anyone noticing you use
But I just found out that it makes sound when you bump into things with it. It is insanely inconsistent, might be even a bug, I didn’t manage to replicate it twice, but I got it while crawling and bumping it into a stove in Hokkaido.

Does it get destroyed after bumping into something? Or remain intact? If it remains intact - that could be an alternative to tapping/bumping something (like cars in Absolution - another much needed mechanic that should return to WoA).
Edit: Since you mentioned it squeaks when stepped on… I’ve never tried placing it in the path of an NPC, but now I’m wondering.

Yeah, it remains intact both after bumping and stepping on. Lemme check what if an npc steps on it…
So, I have two bad news:
- This applies only to “Squeky Toy”, not its “Red-Tie Kiwi” variant. So, item is inclusive only to Hawks Bay and Freelancer(
- NPC do not trigger the distraction
And once again, I didn’t manage to replicate that effect so it was probably a bug… But I feel like the Red-tie kiwi should have the same properties, I’ll post it later as a bug into the section.

I’m skeptical that this is a dedicated animation. Looks more to me like his arm bone is held in place as you descend since it only otherwise animates when moving horizontally.
