I always figured he was hiding in the bomb hallway room.
Cool find!

Well, they say you learn something everyday. Never knew that!

Makes me want to bring the anti vehicle rifle into that level and see if I can put him down or see if he reacts at all if you shoot him.

(Yesterday) I learned that 47, in Freelancer, can pick up a burning corpse and dump it in a container.
He cannot move into the flames while picking up the body or he will die.
I had to set a trap using oil canister and “Make Target Slip” objectives on Isle of Sgàil. Target closest to spawn could be easily sound-lured into an unfrequented corridor so hurriedly placed a banana on the floor. After dragging the unconscious target in front of a container, poured the oil around target, dropped a remote taser and used it to ignite the oil. Crouched just outside the oil pool and waited for the interact prompt to drag the corpse. Prompt appeared 1-2 seconds after the target died, but still burning (not smoking, but with flames). Turned to the container and dumped the body; the flames lit up the inside of the container.
All this “hide quickly” because always, the shout of the burning person seems to attract someone to investigate, even beyond a closed door, and the prestige objective was “Silent Assassin - No Firearms”.
Best regards.
PS: I suppose folks already know this, but I couldn’t find it in the forum (might have used non-match keywords).
PPS: apparently my screenshot of the burning body dumping didn’t work well nor upload so I try again the upload at least; I took it as fast as I could, but only shows the glow, not the body

Makes sense. 5mm is about .20 caliber and the smaller the round the smaller the handgun can be while still not breaking apart during operation.
Left to right: .22cal lr (white gun), 9mm (green/black gun), .45 cal ACP (red gun).

The Disruptor Cane is placed diagonally when you get it in a reward crate. Can’t remember seeing this happen with other items.

Guy got up on his own after falling off the roof or the guard on the patio has Night King powers?

Ever wonder what would happen if you switched outfits while being escorted out for trespassing? I did
EDIT: Just realized after watching this clip of myself again that the briefcase that I left on the table teleported to my hand after I changed outfits too. Crazy shit in this game

Seeing a short on YouTube for the movie ‘A History of Violence’ - one of the antagonists (played by Ed Harris) has a scar on his face and is blind in the same side eye. And who does that immediately bring to mind?
A History of Violence came out in 2005,
And Kane & Lynch: Dead Men came out in 2007.
So it makes you wonder if Kane wasn’t inspired by Ed Harris’s character. 
Well, I’ve got it added to my Amazon Prime watch list. It seems pretty interesting so I’ll have to watch it soon.

I’ve been meaning to rewatch A History of Violence as it’s been years since I first saw it. I remember thinking it was a great film back then, but that was when I was a lot younger so I’m interested to see how it holds up. Thanks for the info that it’s currently available on Prime!

And Kane wasn’t even the first character by IOI with similar deformities. There’s also… Cayne 
… from Hitman Blood Money.

This is from the Modding thread, but I think it belongs here as well! Thank you @Minnow for pointing this out and shedding some light on this little mystery

Ooo, I’ll give you a little bonus fact then!
AR_Elite isn’t the only actor rank there is. The others are AR_Default (I can guess what this does) as well as AR_Cop and AR_Goon. The latter two aren’t ever assigned and are likely leftovers from Absolution. Not sure what they’d do, if anything, if you assigned them. Probably nothing :p

Maybe tne goon lets you drag bodies without saying anything and the cop would shoot you in the leg if you litter in front of him
My mind went elsewhere when I read the word “goon”.
I need to grow up apparently.

What about the “sticky”/“stalker” guards? Like the guards in the Patrick Morgan mission from the Sarajevo Six, or that one guard from that one Colorado escalation who always follows 47 around. Is there a special disguise code to follow the player around? Like “AR_Stalker” or something
6 Likes
No, that’s not an actor rank. Actor ranks are applied to the outfit as a whole - Morgan’s guards are regular Elites and the Stalker was a regular SpecOps, so if an actor rank was what made them do that, then every elite & specops guy would follow you around the map 
The four I listed are the only four that exist.

Is it the actor rank that determines if 47 disguised as such is allowed to carry sniper rifles?
7 Likes
No, this is the only thing actor rank does AFAIK. Weapon allowances are determined in the same place though, and for guards basically go
- Optional property saying that this disguise is allowed to use weapons
- Additional list of weapons that the disguise is not allowed to use
although I haven’t looked at why e.g. waiters are allowed kitchen knives. It’s probably not a list of every weapon in the game :p
