Hitman 2

Hitman 2
Developer: IO Interactive Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Platform: Windows Released internationally: November 13, 2018 This game has a hidden developer message. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused models. This game has unused items. This game has unused sounds.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: There's a lot more Unused Content, like the scrapped Outbreak Mode, some scrapped Elusive Targets and even scrapped weapons.

HITMAN™ 2, HITMAN™ 2 (2018), or HITMAN™ 2: Still No Subtitle is a stealth-action/ conspiracy thriller that acts as a direct sequel and continuation of the story started in HITMAN, which also got embedded into the game as a Mission Pack DLC. This time around, 47 is reunited with his beloved briefcase from Blood Money, Mirrors now work like mirrors, Stealth Grass returns from Absolution, and the long-sought after Nerf for the cheap accident kill that was the Fire Extinguisher also came to pass in this game. As with Hitman, this game is also available as a DLC pack for Hitman 3.

A lot of the unused content present in Hitman can be found in this game too, as they both share pretty much identical file structures, owing to this game being made in the same engine.

Unused Disguises & Outfits

To do: Add images.

There are several disguises and outfits that can be found in the files for each mission. Some of them are outfits worn by regular NPCs that were likely intended to be disguised as or completely cut. The game does not fully distinguish between NPCs that 47 can disguise as and ones he can't, so it's not always obvious which category any given outfit falls into.

Outfits that obviously appear on NPCs in the final game or vice-versa can generally be assumed to have unused NPC or player variants unless otherwise stated.

Hawke's Bay

• Head of Security: The outfit worn by Gerard Mann, Alma Reynard's head bodyguard. A disguise with the same name is used in The Politician for the CICADA bodyguards.

Miami

• Contractor: Looks identical to Max Decker, who only appears in the Paris level in Hitman. Unlike in Paris, 47 can wear his disguise. Two versions of this disguise exist, tagged "M" and "F".
• Blue Seed Mechanic: While Blue Seed has a driver and a displayed car in the level, they have no garage or mechanics in the final game. Dialogue between two security guards inside the security hut states that Kronstadt, whose garage is twice the size of the other teams', took over their garage and had them removed from the competition. The disguise itself is largely complete, with several unique looking NPCs and variants, as well as a properly named NPC, Phillip Winston.
• Sotteraneo Driver (Male): Sotteraneo has one driver present on the map, Andrea Pantano, but 47 cannot take disguises from women. The names A. Pantano & A. Hess can be seen on a sign above the entrance to the Sotteraneo garage and on the scoreboards seen on TVs around the map. One of the new NPCs added as "custom" targets for Hitman 3's Freelancer mode is named internally as if he would also use this outfit, but he is set to be a Kronstadt mechanic instead. The disguise will appear as the Yacht Crew from Freeform Training as a placeholder if used in-game.
• Militia Security: An unused guard disguise which will appear as Freeform Training's Yacht Security if used in-game.
• Kitchen Staff (Female): One male kitchen staff member is present in the VIP Lounge kitchen, but no others. If spawned in-game, she appears as the food vendors from Marrakesh. There is also a second male kitchen staff variant which was eventually used for a new NPC in Hitman 3's Freelancer mode.
• Kronstadt Driver: Internally called DriverKronstadt. Not the same as Thierry Durand, the driver found in the emergency bay, whose disguise is called CrashedDriverKronstadt. Appears in-game as the Yacht Crew.

Santa Fortuna

• Foreman: The outfit worn by the construction foreman. It cannot be worn by 47 in the final game.
• Hostel Manager: The outfit worn by the Hostel Manager. Like the foreman, 47 cannot take the manager's disguise.
• The Vanisher: The outfit worn by The Vanisher, found in the basement of Rico Delgado's mansion. Like the others, 47 cannot take his clothes.
• Helicopter Pilot: The outfit worn by Jorge Franco's helicopter pilot. Again, his clothes can't be worn in the final game.
• Rival Cartel Boss: An unused outfit found in the outfits list for "Three-Headed Serpent". The outfit's name likely refers to Moreno Cartel boss Esteban Montoya, the rival of Rico Delgado. The disguise itself has very minimal data, and the game will crash on any attempt to load it.
• Gardener (Female): While many gardeners can be found around the mansion grounds, all of them are men. This disguise has a unique appearance that seems to be a rough approximation of the male version using pre-existing parts.
• James Wong: Likely an early name for Oscar Wong, Ether's chief biochemist. A recording of his interrogation can be found in the mansion basement, but Wong himself is not present. The exact nature of this outfit isn't clear; it's possible it was a disguise 47 could wear, an NPC-only outfit, or a corpse like the deceased band member or the guard found by the waterfall. It appears as the Bangkok hotel staff in-game, as a placeholder.

Mumbai

• Metal Worker (Female): In the final game, none of the metal workers are women. Appears as the Marrakesh food vendor if loaded in-game.
• Metal Workshop Foreman: Presumably an equivalent of the used Laundry Foreman, but for the Metal Workshop. Appears as the Bangkok Exterminator in-game.
• Cricket Instructor: A current cricket match is referred to by many NPCs and TVs around the map, which Rangan has rigged in the visiting team's favor. If loaded, he appears in-game as Roberto Vargas, the Sapienza golf coach, as a placeholder.
• High-Profile DJ: An unused DJ outfit. It's entirely complete, with an NPC and "Hero" variant. The DJ wears a pink hat with ears, and has what seems to be a bear with X eyes and a stuck out tongue on the back of his jacket. His design seems to be a parody of the real DJ Deadmau5. Concept art and a line of dialogue from Dawood Rangan implies the level was originally supposed be set during a Holi celebration, so the DJ may have been related to this. The outfit has unique dialogue pertaining to it, which was later re-used and added to for Berlin's DJ outfit in HITMAN 3.
• Movie Monster: Presumably related to the movie shoot in some way. It appears as the Colorado Scarecrow as a placeholder if loaded in-game.
• Dawood Rangan: While Rangan obviously isn't unused in the final game, he has an unused alternate appearance where his moustache is trimmed to the width of his nose, rather than his upper lip. This exists for both his regular clothes, and the dancer costume he wears during the Picture Perfect mission story involving the Lead Actor.

Whittleton Creek

To do: Add the unique greeting lines for the construction guards

• Construction Guard: Cassidy's undercover guards, disguised as the construction workers. The only trace of this outfit in the final game is four partial voice sets labeled job_cnstrgrd04-07, containing a few unique lines for greeting their "fellow" construction workers.
• Construction Worker/Gardener (Female): All construction workers and gardeners in the final game are men.
• Swamp Thing: An unknown outfit. If loaded, it appears as the Street Performer from Sapienza as a placeholder. Like with James/Oscar Wong in Colombia, it isn't clear if this was a disguise 47 could wear.
• Private Security Officer/Leader: While these outfits are actually used, the names imply they were originally very different thematically. These are used by the Sheriff's Deputies & Sheriff Masterson, respectively.

Isle of Sgàil

• Monia Bellini/Nimr Arif Bahar: Two returning NPCs from previous levels. Monia Bellini first appeared in Landslide as one of the VIPs Marco Abbiati meets with, and Nimr Arif Bahar is the angry landlord from A House Built on Sand. They were likely supposed to make cameo appearances similar to Amos Dexter and Jason Portman, who can both be found on the island in the final game.
• Gun Slinger [sic]: Marked as "Unique". The disguise seems very unfinished. The entire level is a hostile area while wearing it and, ironically, he isn't allowed to carry guns. If loaded, he appears as the Freeform Training bodyguard as a placeholder.

New York

• IT Goth: A third IT member. An NPC named "Richmond" is associated with this disguise. Like the two existing IT members, Joss & Roy, his name and presumed appearance is a reference to The IT Crowd.
• Account Manager: Appears identical to the Teller disguise, but isn't used by any NPCs. Both male & female versions exist.
• Retired Guard: A semi-unused case: New York contains a security guard named Frank Winkelman, who has recently won the lottery and is on his last day before retiring. His character model is named identically to this disguise, but has been merged into being a unique variant of the normal security guard outfit, leaving this unique disguise unused. It does not reference Frank's character model, and will appear as the Miami Race Marshall if loaded.
• SWAT: Referenced only in the outfits brick. The small amount of data that it has implies it was copied from the Colombia cave guards and not changed very much.
• Chief of Security: The outfit worn by Mateo Pérez, Milton-Fitzpatrick's Chief of Security. His clothes cannot be worn in the final game.

HAVEN Island

• Pilot: If loaded in-game, appears as the helicopter pilot from Himmelstein.
• Fisherman: If loaded in-game, appears as the fishermen from Santa Fortuna, a separate category of civilian used in that level's fishing village.
• Junior Chef: While two chefs can be found on the island, with their dialogue implying one is a junior chef, they are both considered variants of the same outfit, leaving this one unused.

Oddities

Sophia Washington

To do: Upload every image and audio clip that refers to Sophia with her original name.

The game files refer to Sophia Washington as "Serena Washington", including her target pictures. Her initial target intel originally left in "Serena" before it was updated to use the correct name. This change may have been done to avoid legal issues, since Sophia's appearance and name appear to be based on professional tennis player Serena Williams. This oddity was carried over to Hitman 3's mission "End of an Era".

There are still some civilian voice lines that use Sophia's original name, including ones for The Constant. These are triggered if Sophia's body is spotted by a civilian.

Blue Seed Racing Team

In Miami, the Global Innovation Race has several teams racing, the notable exception being Blue Seed Pharmaceuticals, who are signposted right in front the main entrance, with their car on a podium and driver signing autographs. However, this seems to have been a last minute change as evidenced by the reveal trailer for the game showing Blue Seed racing amongst the other teams featured in the game. The Blue Seed teams' driver is listed as one of the competitors in the post-race results screen as coming in third place, despite not racing. This is not fixed in the Hitman 3 version of the level either.
