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.

@Fazard really? It doesn't have server lag removal?

it runs the server on your pc so loads are a lot faster most of the time

I knew it had something that removed the load times.

What Peacock does is host the Hitman server locally on your PC instead of on official IOI servers. Because of this, Peacock is able to offer some useful tools and perks, but nothing that changes whether a speedrun is doable or not. Unlocking all items you own automatically and faster load speeds are probably the two most impactful Peacock perks, but neither affects the actual mechanics of the game. 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.
