Agent 47 Sabotages Physics Itself (Hitman)

The homing briefcase, a classic bug in Hitman that was never patched only because it's funny, and IO Interactive knows this very well.


This is actually canon, as explained in the description of the ICA Executive Briefcase MK Ⅱ! A briefcase is also stated to occasionally defy the laws of physics on the official website. Agent 47's profile on the VS Battles Wiki already lists homing attack, but it has yet to include this evidence.

That's not the end of the logic defying shenanigans in Hitman. As is known, Agent 47 assassinates the most protected people in the world. Naturally, this means the guards are highly trained. However, Agent 47 can reliably cause them to fall and get knocked out by putting a banana peel on the ground or by removing a wet floor warning sign from a wet floor.


Conclusion: Based on the evidence, Agent 47's briefcase should have minor physics manipulation along with its homing attack. Agent 47 should also have limited toon force that reliably causes guard to slip in humorously unrealistic ways.
 
I mean, I did watch the reboot playthroughs+know the story. So I do techically have a say in this matter.

Speedsters unless stated in the canon, often ignore the fact that they need durability to withstand the countless insects, dust, etc coming into them. Fiction often ignores the physics of joules and routinely does stuff beyond our physics and thermodynamics.

The point of the abilities as an unwritten rule is that they're supposed to be distinct from regular people/the norm. Likely to keep the abilities special, a superpower, not mundane etc. For this reason, I'm split on whether or not limited physics manipulation should exist on 47's profile.

47 should have toon force. Agree

I'm not sure about your first point in the way it was written. Is your point, in other words, that adding physics manipulation would be redundant to homing attack being listed, since the physics manipulation would be a subset of homing attack? If so, well, that is true in a way, but I should at least still add the evidence to the justification for homing attack. Furthermore, the ICA Executive Briefcase MK Ⅱ isn't only physics defying in that it homes in on a target when thrown, it's also physics defying in that its flight is unrealistically slow. Other items thrown by Agent 47 reach their target a lot faster, and at the speed the briefcase gets thrown at, there's no realistic reason it should be capable of staying in midair for as long as it can. It seems to me that physics manipulation is the superset, and homing attack is just an application of it.

Anyway, thanks for the input. 👍

On one hand, 47's homing attack is supernatural, on the other, a lot of fiction normally breaches the laws of physics.

Okay, good. So, I'll consider you being "split on whether or not limited physics manipulation should exist on 47's profile" as meaning you're neutral about it.
 
Yeah I don't agree with Physics Manipulation, the statement isn't good enough..

Is what I would be saying if this good ol' example didn't exist. Being directly stated to break the laws of physics is proof for minor Physics Manipulation, so yes I do agree with it!

Toon force is really something, and I will say this: being heavily trained does not equal having an eye on the area in front of you and an eye on the ground, people usually aren't looking for stray bananas when on guard-- and they'd probably have it committed to memory where landmines are, if there are any.

I'd agree with possibly minor toon force being generous, but nothing more.

I agree with your takes. Thanks for the input. 👍

I disagree with toon force, comical things happening isn't really enough for that- the Hitman AI is purposefully unrealistic because it just wouldn't be fun (or playable) otherwise, but Agent 47 making some highly trained guard abandon their post because they saw a quarter isn't him performing some reality warping hax, it's just something mildly funny that the devs put in the game to give you more options. There's an argument off other things like the flamingo costume, but I wouldn't say it extends to this. Physics Manip for the briefcase is totally fine- it's straight-up stated to do so.

While there are non-canon comical features in the Hitman series anyway, I disagree with this being an example of that, due to its practical applications in regular gameplay, where Agent 47 can use the peels of any bananas as a dangerous trap. Banana peels aren't normally that slippery in real life, therefore I think it's more unrealistic than a guard going out of their way to collect a coin. Thanks for the input though.

Banana peels are fairly slippery, honestly. Not to the point where they'd actually be optimal for this sort of thing but it's not entirely unrealistic that it'd work on someone who's not paying attention.
