Assassin Needs a Bigger Hat

I shouldn’t have to change my hat to assassinate someone as an assassin

A stealth-game character approaches enemies in a snowy Japanese compound, then pauses in the inventory menu to equip an enormous peasant hat before returning to perform a double assassination. The joke is that the player takes the caption literally: instead of relying on stealth, they change hats so the assassin can apparently assassinate properly. Music builds the absurdity, with a sharp shattering sound adding comic impact around the takedown.

This is a perfect setup for a double air assassination. Well, almost. Like I said, this die show is pretty strong, but no matter. A quick change of headgear with a particular perk that gives us one additional chunk of assassination damage on all air assassinations should do the trick. Oh yeah, okay, that's a good start.
