Note

• Despite providing early access to powerful gear, the contents received from DLC packs and/or the Limited Edition bonuses actually put the player at a disadvantage, as the added weapons are rather large and take up a lot of valuable inventory space. This is especially straining considering how small Jensen's inventory is when the items are deposited.
  • Also, the provided bonus items are even more of a hindrance to stealth or Pacifist-centric playstyles, as all of them are either lethal weaponry or explosives.
• If the Director's Cut upgrade was purchased digitally through GameStop or Steam then the stock game, if already owned, will be granted all DLCs upon installing the upgrade, including the Missing Link story missions, which are seamlessly grafted into the main plot flow.
