* ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' features briefcases as a mundane prop that Agent 47 can use to sneak items into secure areas. Being a large, heavy piece of plastic lined with metal, 47 can also use it to [[TapOnTheHead swiftly render people unconscious with a whack in the head]]. It could also be thrown at people's heads for similar effect. An extremely popular GoodBadBug caused the briefcase to become a HomingProjectile and pursue targets at a slow but dogged pace. Despite all of its comically absurd abilities, the briefcase could only concuss people and would never kill them, as it has the 'non-lethal' damage flag.

Doing this with your own cargo isn't a practical approach to combat since with one hit it damages the cargo, and another hit destroys it entirely. Enemy cargo can be picked up, however, and you can freely use them to knock enemies out if you don't intend on taking their stolen cargo for yourself.
