Removed Troy Mission?#

This unused phone call dialogue by Troy possibly refers scrapped mission involving terrorists outside of Stilwater, but there's no other strings present in the file. The subtitles are only found in voice_pc.

Removed Dex Mission?#

There are enigmatic voice clips relating to a cut mission with Dex, despite never making a physical appearance in the game outside of the Corporate Warfare DLC. The voice clips are structured like an in-game cutscene (like the Activity missions for example), despite having no corresponding voice clips for the protagonist. The subtitles are only found in voice_pc.

The following voice clips are likely supposed to take place before Revelation, due to Dex betraying the protagonist during that mission, or is from an earlier story draft.

Sons of Samedi Zombie Missions?#

There are several text entries marked as RSS_01-06, consisting of six missions to do with Zombies and the Sons of Samedi according to the fifth and first mission titles, Zombies of Samedi and Rising of the Dead. This may be further evidenced by the abbreviation either meaning "Return of Sons of Samedi" or "Resurrected Sons of Samedi".

These missions were secretly added by developers without informing the leads, where the player would've accessed them by doing specific conditions (squat 3 times at the fountain at x headquarters) but were cut and caused a bit of a stir within the developmental team when they were discovered.

They were initially found by the testers by accident before the game had gone gold, but they broke it to the point of causing a memory overwrite over the save data. At that point of development, it was learned that such "hidden secrets" had to be fully tested and conceptualized, and were ultimately removed due to production not wanting to spend time refining such features either.¹

The first mission according to Strings would be Rising of the Dead involves killing the zombies before time runs out in an area the mission would fail if either the Playa fail to kill enough zombies or due to one of the strings it would also fail if the protagonist don't return to the area within 15 seconds.

The second mission called Freedom is to save the hostages and take them to freedom and it would fail if either the hostages dies or gets abandoned.

The third mission Liberty would have been killing terrorists. It's unknown if it would be actual terrorists or the Sons of Samdi would be the terrorists after that. It now tells you to take a helicopter.

The 4th mission is Justice for all and it would likely be using the helicopter to kill terrorists on their training grounds most likely it would have been the Tornado helicopter.

The 5th mission Zombies of Samedi involves killing zombies and there would be a timer in which the MSN_RSS05_HOSTAGE_TIME fail state which suggests the Playa would have been infected.

And the last mission which is Law of the Urban Jungle, which just has a directive saying "Man up or go home!".
