Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

Don’t be surprised about anyone’s skepticism. 47 normally drops anything he’s carrying when he begins any climbing animation be it a ladder or drain pipe. So, regardless of the screen shot/s, it’d be more helpful if you explained how it was done. :slight_smile: 'Cause it’d be very helpful in transporting some items to a higher or lower level… Without the risk of losing them or an NPC finding them and taking them or reporting them.

And yes. He still carries a large item if it’s one lift-up or hop-down. But that certainly doesn’t happen with that or any other ladder/drain pipe. I mean, normally or as far as most other people know. :thinking:

I’m not the person you asked and this is caveated with an IIRC, but in Freelancer, starting at the top of this ladder causes the briefcase to be on the floor for a time, eventually being delivered to 47’s hand if it’s not picked up before, potentially with him on the ladder and therefore giving us this? It’s definitely at least freelancer since the freelancer-exclusive icons for the supplier and whatnot are on the minimap

Oh yeah… There was something like that in Dartmoor when starting by the motorcycle, where if you didn’t pick up the briefcase after starting it’d teleport/snap to your hand.

It’s because it’s connected to the neck bone

The arm bone is connected to the rib bone

You guys guessed it. You will:

Go to paris in freelancer with a large item and a bunch of small ones

Hope you start on the barge

Go down the ladder right away before your items load

Enjoy some animation we normally never see

You’re welcome

Especially in Paris when you start on the barge because you’d be heat with a sniper on your back in alerted territory and screwed if you managed to aim your briefcase in La Seine :smiley:

Just imagine in hardcore mode with mendatory sniper kill… entire campain failed over bad briefcase aim, and its hard to do from up there :rofl:

har har. That got a laugh out of me.

If you’re not familiar with 3D modelling, the term “bone” is used to refer to two points that form a rigid section - connect two bones together and you have a joint. Moving a bone causes the entire connected length of the model to move with it, which is how you do your animation.

I’ve done this myself. If you spawn into Paris atop the sniping platform and your connection to IOI is lagging enough, you can get onto the ladder and the briefcase will spawn into 47’s hand while you’re descending.

I know, I just couldn’t resist. It was too good an opportunity. :grin:

In New York, if you reschedule Athena’s meeting and let the meeting play out, Mateo Perez quits and turns over his part of the backup data, leaving it on the conference room table for you to pick up at your leisure.

Perez walks down to the entrance of the bank and just stands there fidgeting for the rest of the mission.

I got bored and replayed an escalation in Marrakesh. One I had finished probably when it first came out and hadn’t touched since. It’s the one where you need to kill the old school principal with an ax and one other soldier while disguised as the old man.

I got new top times on each level…

And that makes me curious to try other/old escalations to see how much easier they are. :thinking:

After the speech about openning the Scepter (as I “find the other name too vain”)), Sheik turns around and quitely says a line:

“This is indeed a feat, not only for me, but for the whole humanity.”

MAGA: Make Arabia Great Again

In fairness, with some of the advancements in science, math, and even culture that have come out of the Arabian world over the millennia, it may very well have a better claim to such a… claim, than America ever has.

Without getting political, I wholeheartedly agree that we are ought to credit ancient minds from non-european countries. While their achievements might seem “trivial”, they were the ones who achieved milestones that shaped our present.

I never noticed that other (non-enforcer) NPCs will NOT have a white dot over their head if you’re choking someone out.

At first, I was wondering if (this) guard would just walk by like that’s just what goes on… Just a couple of lovebirds cuddling in some random spot on the floor. :joy:

Sadly, I… We became compromised.
