It's such a pain in the ass robbing shopkeepers now, especially when you go to the Black Market. Jet packs and bomb bags (but not bomb boxes) explode when they're shot in this game.
There's an easy method to rob them (stand in the same space and throw up a rope to stun them, then pick up their shotgun and shoot them) but you can't kill them right away if there's a jet pack. To make it even worse, half the time there's a good shop (much less frequently than the first game), they have a locked room above or below them so they drop a key as well as the gun...of course, the game makes you pick up the fukking key first instead of the gun so those robberies are really tricky.
And the final shortcut requires getting a hired hand to the fifth level. Still haven't been able to keep one alive. I read if you crouch with them a few times they'll fall asleep but they always wake up for me and get themselves killed.
