I really wish the baton had more use. Hitman isn’t about “realism” of course, but it would make sense for a stealth game to have a hitman take a baton with him, like Thief’s blackjack or Deus Ex’s stun prod. Obviously people would flip out though if you removed crowbar knockouts or whatever, so I don’t know what the answer is.

For me, when I’m just trying to do a challenge or simply beat a level: Classic lockpick, any silenced pistol (mostly one of the ICA19 pistols), and a random item (usually coins or disposable scrambler)
When trying to do SA/SO: Briefcase (Kalmer-1), Sieker-1 (Smuggled item), any silenced pistol, classic lockpick, and a random item (usually coins or disposable scrambler)
Sniper of choice: Jaeger 7 Tuatara or Sieger 300 Arctic
