Trivia
- Starting with HITMAN™ 2, a Fire Extinguisher's explosion will no longer eliminate NPCs, but instead pacify them, though 47 himself will still be killed if caught in the radius. These pacifications are still considered an accident and would not revoke a player's Silent Assassin rating if a body were to be discovered, unless they're a target.
- The explosions will still kill NPCs in the Sniper Assassin gamemode.
- In Blood Money, the extinguisher can become visibly dented after it is used as a weapon.
