Peacock advantages?

so, I play hitman on steam. It feels like peacock has an advantage by being able to do multiple things, like running through npcs. The reason I say this is because whenever I see this, its always on peacock. Am I at a disadvantage, or is it just a trick that I'm unaware about?

Those tricks can be done on official servers. The only peacock advantage I am aware of is there's no server lag when completing missions.

Peacock has no advantages gameplay wise, but it does offer all unlocks, auto splitter, elusive targets, and iirc some freelancer stuff.

Running through real NPCs can be achieved on any platform with NPC clipping:

@THENfsKid I meant anything that would give you an advantage in game, I don’t run peacock much but I do think your correct in the load times, yes.
