So many things wrong here; 1. The homing effect is intentional, 2. the bug was how slow it was, not the homing part. 3. the video linked uses the newer, deliberately slower, briefcase, and 4. they changed it because it was harmful and was unintended, hence the new briefcase to make it a perk and not a game-wide effect. and finally, 5. it was not introduced into Hitman 3 — it was a challenge pack item in 2.

*** It also has the Vent Glitch used by speedrunners. Switching to first person view while in a specific position in a specific vent causes Snake to go out of bounds.

*** Speaking of the cardboard box, Snake normally slows down considerably when running uphill or up stairs. With the box equipped, though, he will run at normal speed no matter how steep the slope is. This is ''very'' useful for getting good end-times for the game, as well as dodging and escaping guards who ''are'' still slowed down by these slopes.

*** Raiden has invincibility frames when he pops out from a corner and aims his pistol. If you get the timing down, you can outright NoSell attacks from enemies by hopping out, firing a round, hopping back, and repeating. This is one of the most effective ways to battle Fortune and the Harrier, as you can just stand there like an arsehole dry-firing an empty pistol while they ineffectually spam you with their attacks.
*** There is one bug which, when combined with an AntiFrustrationFeature, allows you to skip the ''entire'' HoldTheLine battle where Raiden and Snake have to hold off waves of [[DemonicSpiders Arsenal Tengu]]. Before it begins go ahead and sucker-punch Snake a couple of times so he decks you back and you have less than half health, as you having low health will make Snake use his M4 Carbine instead of the USP during the battle. That's the legit part. Then, grab an Arsenal Tengu in a chokehold and drag him outside the room (through the door you came in) and choke him just ''once'' every single time he struggles, keeping him alive as long as possible. For some reason, as long as you're doing this, all the other Arsenal Tengu will leave you alone and target Snake, who can hold his own no problem with his M4. Then when the one guard finally goes down, take down the one next guard who comes in and the fight ends. You finish ''the entire battle'' by only taking out two enemies.

*** Cardboard is fireproof. Yes, by wearing the cardboard box you won't take damage from flames and can't be lit on fire, and even if on fire donning a box will put it out. The only thing that can hurt you is a direct blast from a flamethrower, and even ''that'' can't light you on fire. The glitch is because the developers never bothered to program an animation for Snake burning while in the box, presumably because [[ViolationOfCommonSense they never assumed anyone would be dumb enough to use cardboard to shield from fire]], and thus the game just ignores it.
*** When you pull the pin of a grenade there is a ''very'' brief window where Snake becomes both invisible and silent for all intents and purposes. With careful timing you can basically just run in front of guards without them noticing you and, since it's possible to put grenades away without throwing them, with practice you can just gallumph through entire areas without triggering alerts.
** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', a glitch with the long-barreled and scoped version of the Desert Eagle means the magazine he grabs to reload the weapon with is inside ''another'' long-barreled and scope Desert Eagle, which he duly inserts into the space occupied by the first. It helps if you exclaim "my deagle needs more deagle!" while doing this.
