With #HitmanFreelancer you lose your tools if you fail. Even the ones you left in your home. I'm still recovering from this after losing my lockpick.

THEN I subsequently threw my crowbar and forgot to retrieve it. Gone.

One time, I was descending from the ledges in Sapienza with my rifle in a briefcase when I noticed I no longer had the briefcase with me. Had to dashboard out and redo the mission, escaping with rifle on my shoulder lest I accidentally leave it and lose it.

It's brutal.
