Item and Weapons for the Player

Eliminate Noise Maker Arrows

Explanation:

Eliminate noisemaker arrows from Garrett's regular starting arsenal. They exist only for the purpose of creating a distraction-and there are many mundane ways to do that (throwing miscellaneous items), if a distraction must indeed be made.

Points to bear in mind:

Noisemaker arrows, once discovered, leave a very distinct and suspicious form of evidence of mischief -- which is exactly what you -don't- want.

Because noisemakers continue to make a sound after they land, they can more effectively lure guards to a specific location, rather than just divert them in a general direction.

As an alternative, allow the player to choose how many noisemaker arrows they wish to take with them into a mission, instead of providing them by default.

If AI are made to pay more logical attention to sounds, then throwing a vase or shooting a broadhead arrow at a distant location would serve instead, making this item redundant.
