This is an interesting one.
Whoa. It probably does very low damage, or has terrible range. Or I'm blind and it says it cannot be reloaded.

I feel like going forward into season two you'll probably have metal detectors that work *coughmarrakeshcough* which means that gun would dodge a frisk but not a metal detector. Which would then up the ante for an all plastic 3d printed gun.
Or an insulated suitcase with a rifle disassembled in it.
This is an interesting one.
I hope Japan has parts where you can take advantage of this, because as it is this is not exactly super useful.

Agent Smith?
That would be amazing.

Surely it will have 4-5 bullets and that's it, apart from a smaller range. Still, it could be nice for some situations.

My favorite thing to do in the white house level in blood money was planting a gun in someone else's briefcase and watch all the marines lose their shit.
That's a really good idea. Why has no one ever thought of that before?

All they would need to do is frisk you before you can enter the building, and that will catch most players off-guard. This would actually make sense for a hospital.
But so far frisking becomes irrelevant once you learn a few hidden passageways and unlock a few starting points. I don't know whether this level can actually shake that up a bit.
Not necessarily. One of Colorado's unlocks was the keycard bypasser and there wasn't a single keycard door in Colorado.
Honestly if you need more bullets than that, you'd be better of just running around with a machinegun.

Still at 18/20 on Colorado. Trying to get to level 20 by Monday.
Where is the mannequin arm located?

For the mannequin arm challenge, just go beat up people in the farmhouse.
It's the one place where it's easy to hide that many bodies.

That'd be pretty cool.
I could see that, I mean, you're clearly trying to be sneaky getting past the frisk, so who are you going to shoot other than the target really.
If you're shooting more than a clip you're just going on some clear out half the level rampage.
PS plus has no effect on Hitman? As long as you have an internet connection, you're fine.
Dohohoho. Predictable, but still cool.
I wonder if this has ammunition? Otherwise I don't see what makes this different from say just carrying the tactical knife/jiraya or what ever the curved dagger was called.
I'll bet there is no difference, just something to have.
Perhaps they'll stick to walls, so they don't bounce uncontrollably like coins?

YEEEEES NINJA 47 GO!

That we can use on every level.

On Hitmanforums IO confirmed that you get 3 shuriken.
I assume you will also be able to throw shuriken faster than a knife. Might be faster than a gun since you don't need to aim.

HITMAN Youtube is posting countdown videos showcasing each location released so far.
What's interesting about this one video? It shows 47 using a Katana in Paris. There are no katanas in Paris. I think it's safe to assume it is going to be one of the unlocks from Hokkaido.

I mean they might add it but that clip is from one of the first trailers they put out.

I hope they can implement a full customization menu/load out. I'd love to Katana my way through every level. Hokkaido-ween is looking good.

I really hope we're getting Season 2, I'm totally down to pay for another season and more elusives.

The common line of thinking is that despite some variance in quality of levels, this is basically Blood Money with bigger levels. The level design shines more with the escalations and elusives, because while there are a number of different ways to tackle the main targets, the extra targets are good about exploring design space in the rest of the level.

The most-used unlocks are basically these (either with unique functionality or very convenient):
- Paris level 10: Silverballer.
- Sapienza level 5: remote breaching charge.
- Sapienza level 10: lethal poison vial.
- Sapienza level 10: remote audio distraction.
- Marrakesh level 10: emetic poison vial.
- Marrakesh level 15: remote explosive duck.
- Bangkok level 10: "Mixtape 47".
- Bangkok level 20: Krugermeier 2-2.
- Colorado level 5: emetic poison syringe.
- Colorado level 10: concealable baton.
- Colorado level 15: disposable scrambler.
Along the way you'll unlock some hilarious items everybody should try once, like the exploding phone and the silenced shotgun from Bangkok.
You also need to unlock a sniper rifle of some kind, but the very best of all is most likely coming with Hokkaido. Probably level 20.
For me, I would rate it as good as Ground Zeroes. Easily superior to Dishonoured and Mankind Divided. I'd say better than Blood Money too.
