Possible Secret on Buluc's Mansion? (Nope, almost definitely not.)

[Weaselly]

NOTE: CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SOLVED.

Hey, wondering if people have noticed that you can pick up seemingly random objects on the new heist. The total list we've found is:

Globe (Room outside Buluc's Office)
Wire (near Server room Power Box)
Fertilizer (Dock, in locked cage)
Scythe (Garage, can possibly spawn anywhere on ground floor)
Alarm Clock (Bedroom by Garage, possibly in same room as Globe)
Blowtorch (One of the rooms by Sanctum access points)
Diesel (Garage)

Any idea why we can pick up all of these things (and possibly more)? I might just not be in the loop, but I think there's something we're all missing if nobody else can think of why.

Scythe and Globe can reportedly be used with a certain statue to bypass keycard in Stealth.

The Blowtorch can be used to open the Wine Cellar loot room (thermite also can, from using Docks as entry point).

Everything else is used as a bomb for one possible loud approach that can happen. Everything's been solved. Really cool to see a heist with all of this depth to it, though (and frankly really refreshing)!

The items you pick up are used for loud/stealth approaches.

I've noticed a statue of (possibly) the Grim Reaper inside the mansion that is missing his Scyte and Globe

Except no loud or stealth approach that I've found uses any of them.

There's a scythe in the garage. Where's the statue?

I've noticed the Scyte can spawn seemingly anywhere on the ground floor inside the mansion.

The statue is always in one of the two access points to the underground lair

EDIT: I'm pretty sure you can use the statue's puzzle to bypass the keycard part on stealth

That's... interesting. Wonder why it was included.

Still, that leaves a few other mysteries.

The clock, wire & fertilizer go along with diesel to make a bomb when going loud. Although it's random if you assemble a bomb or hack the servers to get to the inner sanctum.

The blowtorch is used to open a room containing a bunch of loot. To access this room, find the door with the keypad on the left side of the house and enter the code you find on a clipboard randomly placed on the map, on a wall, not too hard to miss.

Isn't that just the loot cage in the docks? You can spawn there too.

Interesting though.

No weasel mask for you.

I haven't tried stealth so I haven't been to the docks but if the loot room spawns there the blowtorch should open it.

Clarification; the loot room is in the wine cellar.

I tested and have confirmation that the Grim Reaper trick works:

You need the Scyte + Globe item to open the door

EDIT: you can only do this in Stealth

Found the second use of items:

To skip the entire hacking sequence on LOUD, you need four items:

• Fertilizer (found in wine cellar, might need a Blowtorch to open it)
  
• Alarm Clock (found in one of the two bedrooms)
  
• A calbe (found it the front, most left room)
  
• Diesel (found in the garage)

Once Locke commands you to find the inner sanctum, do NOT go for the servers, find the statue and you will be prompted to blow it up.

As already stated, this isn't a secret method - when going loud you will be given either the hacking objective or the bomb objective to get inside that area, chosen randomly.

The first time I played this heist we were given the objective of rigging up that makeshift bomb on the statue to gain entry.
