Sedative Syringes

[Brick Slayer]

Not sure if anyone noticed, but they actually do exist in this game.
On Sapienza, Landslide there is a guy in a brown suit who usually walks around the pier area when you start the mission, takes a sip at his drink at the rally and then stands around the photo area in front of the church. But when you subdue or kill him, he drops a Modern Sedative Syringe and I think he's the only one that does that.
The syringe works exactly like you would think from other Hitman games, and I feel like it's the only one in the game

Just wanted to point that out in case anyone has found the location of another one

Pretty sure you can unlock it as an item for use in missions

[Brick Slayer]

Huh. I thought there's only emetic and lethal syringes

[knighttime]

i love using the lethal syringe to kill someone its so fun. sneak up behind them just one poke of the needle and they make funny noises and drop dead. its also a good stealth tactic

[Brick Slayer]

And the best thing about the lethal syringe is how the NPCs count it off as a heart attack so it doesn't count as a body found when you stab someone

Act of stabbing is action that will get you noticed because it counts as a crime.

As all poison kills it does not count as noticed kill or found body just like accident kill.

[knighttime]

if someone sees you poke someone with the lethal needle it will be a crime you have to be stealthy.

No you can't and it's unnecessary since 47 can just subdue his victims himself with his own arms.

Lethal syringe is my most used tool for SA runs.

Its so easy just to get people to look a direction with a coin, then shank the target with the syringe and walk away.

or just bring the hammer, its faster than doing it bare handed, and its not single use like the syringe

I get that the sedative syringe would be kinda useless, but then again so is the sedative poison from the bottle and we can unlock that one too. I don't think anyone would use the syringe that much, but it would be nice to have it available anyway.
The fact that whoever you stab with the Sedative Syringe on Landslide has an own little animation going on before going down makes me think that IO intended it to be in the game earlier and that they'll introduce it in Season 2, so maybe it will be possible to get a Modern and Antique version of that poison later on

It IS an unlockable regular item. (Though it may have been removed at some point, but I still have one in my loadout.)

It's probably best used when you have a single non-target that you need to subdue quickly in place.
You can jab them and keep moving without the 5-13 seconds of the subdue animation or the loudness/higher profile of a melee knockout.

Strangely, the drugged npc can be instantly revived by others. I don't know what's in that syringe, but it doesn't work very well at all...which is why I never use it.

But to the OP, neat find! I think only a rare few NPCs carry items.

You're going to have to prove that one: where is it unlocked? (everything that can be unlocked is shown as a reward either right on the challenge or in the mastery list)

You may be thinking of the sedative VIAL, which is not a syringe

The value of the sedative vial is that it can be added to drinks without being seen (if you wear the right disguises)

It's of very limited use, but it has more value than knocking someone out with a syringe (since to use the syringe you have to do it unseen anyway). Where as the vial can be used openly, with the right disguise

But then there's a lot of useless unlocks in this game

[Emmote]

Yeah, pretty sure the Sedative Syringe isn't unlockable.

[halfmonkey]

My apologies. It absolutely is a VIAL and not a syringe. I can only think that I unlocked this around the same time as the antique lethal and have confused the two.

[widespreadpanick]

Interesting find. It is kind of a useless item with 47's new choke-hold. But it makes sense that it'd still be a thing NPCs would use.
