Have you ever wondered what pistol 47 “canonically” would have brought to each location? I have guessed his “canon” choice of pistols based on menu images featured in-game.
About the appearance of ICA19, I considered the H1&H2 version and the H3 version the same. And while the one featured in H1 locations is looking closer to Black Trinity, you could argue that technically Black Trinity didn’t exist until H3 and the one in those pictures is just beta ICA19, so I wrote both names.
Expand to see the basis and the “alternative,” or my guess for unknowns.
