Hitman 2's Farcical Homing Briefcase Is Now an Official Weapon
A bug from Hitman 2 that turned Agent 47's briefcase into a homing missile has been anointed as an official weapon in an upcoming content drop.The ICA Executive Briefcase MKII will be available as a reward from August 8 for players who complete the Best Case Scenario Challenge Pack. If you have access to the Sgail map, the pack is free.Like the original bug, when Agent 47 throws the new briefcase it will glide regally through the air - even around corners - seeking out unsuspecting NPC skulls. The original bug was so unintentionally masterful that IO Interactive dragged their feet in patching it. After reluctantly fixing it, the development team decided to introduce it as an official weapon
There's a raft of other new contracts and targets appearing throughout this month. The Simmons Concussion Escalation Contract is now available, for example, with a fresh Legacy Elusive Target hidden in Colorado.The Identity Thief will also be making a return, plus there'll be a new Featured Contracts challenge on August 22 that's themed "Cosplay Karma". Creative disguises are set to be on the menu.
