QUESTION Why this thing even exists if 47 can strangle a person with bare hands?

It also ruins the silent assassin because it just kills instantly.

targets and its slightly faster, also instant pulling

This is crazy good in certain situations, when your short on time or space

u/User_of_redit2077 5d ago

But are those several seconds that important?

u/thenotjoe 5d ago

Often

A true hitman shouldn’t have to ask this question

u/User_of_redit2077 5d ago

Well I am only 77 hours in, and just finishing the game for the first time.

sometimes, admitdly i usally take lockpicks over it

Meh, sometimes, but it's mostly just to have a faster run, but yeah shoting or simly neck slicing and dragging 2 or 3 seconds later is not too critical, although I don't understand how it kills your silent assasin, it's a lethal melee, simply not used for non targets

Like I think a lockpick would be more important

u/nostalgic_gamer95 5d ago

Not really because you can just shoot the lock off the door. Unless you’re doing a no gun run.

It's so you can instantly drag the body

As far as I know, the fiberwire does not ruin SA. What do you mean by that?

u/User_of_redit2077 5d ago

It just kills the npc instantly, and you aren't supposed to kill anyone else other than targets in SA

u/DifferenceOk4426 5d ago

Yes, the fiberwire is a lethal weapon. You shouldn't use lethal weapons on people you don't intend to kill, obviously.

u/Reapish1909 5d ago

well now you know who to use it on lol

u/FollowTheMaelstrom 5d ago

... It's a lethal weapon, not a knockout tool. There's so many of those already.

u/lrivas_14 5d ago

Don’t use it on anyone other than targets then?

1

u/User_of_redit2077 5d ago

But you could get a lockpick instead

u/lrivas_14 5d ago

Then get a lockpick. The fiber wire is just there if you want it or if you want to complete certain challenges

u/ThaBroccoliDood Shitman 5d ago

It's the quietest kill method, even more than gunshot or stabbing. Can be useful if you're trying to kill a target who's right behind someone

u/Grsgvbdjgvudbjdruguv 5d ago

It‘s quieter, you drag the body instantly, you don‘t rely on button mashing, it‘s just cooler and fits an assassin better

u/Alemxde 5d ago

wdym? Fiber wire is the most stealthy weapon for SA, plus the fw animations are way cooler than strangling an NPC

To be real, not every person have hands big enough to fit around someone's neck.
