What's the point of Fibre Wire and syringe now?

[HideoGames]

You can just choke people out from behind now and snap their necks. These weapons are just wasting a slot, you might as well take lockpicks and coins or poisin (Although it seems every map has rat poison all over the place).

Lethal syringe is OP. It lets you quickly kill (it's a quick animation) and best part, it classifies the kill as an accident. Like they had a heart-attack. This makes it actually very unique and useful.

You don't have to hide the body and you can still get Silent Assassin. As far as I know, this really only works with syringe, not lethal-poisoning food/water. I've played plenty of custom contracts where quickly killing someone and not having to waste time hiding the body is critical to a Silent Assassin rating.


Fibre Wire is just there. Another weapon for contract-requirements. Maybe it's slightly more quiet than choking? IDK.

Fibre Wire is an icon for the hitman series prolly why it stayed around.

Oh wow, Syringe is actually really cool then. I wish the game showed you a bit more information about all the weapons, just a quick feature run through. Ive been using poison in foods this whole time when i could have just syringed someone in the bathroom i guess.

Plus you can drag their body as soon theirs hits the floor - helps when seconds are critical.

Fiber wire is unique because it's both faster than choking somebody out and it transitions right from the kill animation into the drag animation. No extra time picking up or positioning to pick up the corpse. I think you actually drag them a little faster that way, too.
People have already clarified why the lethal syringe is so great.

[Frote7]

Lethal syringe is a top tier weapon, along side coins, silverballer, breacher, ducker, phone & napoleon

[Jelly Sandwich]

You kill quickly and silently your target with fiber wire + you can immediately drag and hide the body.

i like wiperwire and hand hand combat

[Yoo Bro]

We don't need any newbie to tell us what to do? If you don't want a fibre wire then don't use it because Fibre wire was a part of hitman series since the beginning.

[vczh]

snapping necks makes noise. Wire doesn't. A body of a person killed by a syringe is allowed to be seen and you still get silent assassin.

They are good.

[SgtWireless]

Lethal poisoning food and drink counts for silent assassin the same way syringe works, just requires more planning to do since you need to be disguised as a waiter to poison withtout suspicion

Why does hitman game allows you to bring fiber wire and some stupid pistol Silverbarrel?
- Because they are iconic tools of Hitman from the entire franchise.
Syringes are useful since poison kills count as accidents, not every NPC drinks things and if you want, you can use it as a distraction.

The Silverballer is very useful for precise shots.

Silverballer also falls under the top tier weapons

The real question is where the heck is my second baller, maybe trapped in the intro load screen for eternity :P......
