The mystery of the Safehouse Chainsaw

[Nirvash]

So me and a friend went into my safe house to do the Draganborn achieve. While we were there, they accidentally picked up the chainsaw off of Jacket's table, which was then added to their inventory as a mission item. When I did a search for this, very little came up, but we did discover several other things that only they as the client could see/do. We tried switching over so I could do the same stuff but it didn't work that time.

So, I was playing as Duke and they were Sydney. Once we did the achieve, they were able to
1: Pick up the chainsaw off of Jackets table next to arcade.
2: Interact with the skylight window in Tony's room (By jumping off a chair to reach), which opened for them but not me.
3: See a turtle in Jiros area under the katanas on the wall, which they could then "help" by flipping over to it's feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1E3FCxJj7E

4: Pick up the cocaine stacked up by Jimmy, which ended up as a bag on their back for a split second before vanishing.

These were all we could find and it only worked while I was host. Does anyone know what this stuff is about? I've tried doing searches but they lead to dead ends. This seems like some easter egg or even secret stuff and I want to know more.

The turtle is just a trophy that you can get from heat street which at random times will be upside down and give you the prompt to “help” it up. Jimmy’s coke is a glitch. The other one’s I don’t know, I’ll check em out

This is called asset recycling without cleaning tied scripts.

Keeping in mind that I could not see the turtle myself anywhere, even on returning to the safehouse multiple times. Maybe there is just a spawn issue or something, but it showed up for the client and not me, which coincides with the other things listed here.

This'd be the problem.

The chainsaw is taken from Bomb: Forest, where it can be picked up as Mission Equipment provided you've taken the airplane escape.

The skylight, if I had to guess, is from Art Gallery where there's openable skylights. Not gonna act like I know the skylights in Scarface's room off by heart but that's probably what they're from.

The turtle is a trophy from Heat Street and the helping thing is normal, seemingly the client was able to see it in your safehouse before you unlocked it.

The cocaine is, well, lootable cocaine.

It's not a secret code or anything like that, it's a glitch (albeit an interesting one, and if it can be replicated on other maps it'd probably result in a fair bit of other weird stuff).

The turtle is in a couple different places depending on what Jiro upgrade you have.

I think the turtle is allways at the same position. The difference is just the stuff where the turtle sits on top.

No. In the final tier, the turtle is moved to the corner of the room. On lower tiers, the turtle always shows up on the table.

You're right. I thought it's at the same position because a friend has the lowest tier and the turtle is in the corner at top of a box but it's not the exactly same position.
