I haven´t noticed it anywhere on the forum, but thought it might be useful for people who wanna do a Berlin playthrough utilizing the equipment they can “loot” off the ICA agents, and don´t necessarily remember who´s got what and where. Here´s a list of agents, including their location. All agents carry an earpiece of course, but that´s not necessary to mention.
Obviously, in case you haven´t played the level yet, SPOILER ALERT.

Additionally, you can grab a combat knife off the body of a dead unknown agent in the forest (near the main road), and if you start the mission at the gas station, kill agent Price for his Hackl 9S Covert.
There´s definitely potential in it, but as I don´t dabble in creating contracts, I´ll probably leave it up to the more creative members of the community (unless I experience a stroke of genius all of a sudden)
Not easy to make use of it in a contract as all of them can be put into the loadout already, except using the unsilenced DAK for Pistol Elimination. But then again one has to check if that one is not already freely available on the map.
If we could enforce the Bus start then we could start without loadout and it would be another situation. But sadly we don’t really get new contract mode features apparently.
That one´s a bit of a bug I probably should´ve mentioned in the description. It only appears to lack a suppressor visually, but is otherwise named the same as the silenced version, has a silenced perk listed, and seems to indeed be silent (no “gunshot heard” info when you fire it), so it´s likely a bug/mistake in one form or another and will likely get changed/fixed.
It is indeed, I know, just thought most people wouldn´t bother going for it unless they start at the default location But I´ll edit it accordingly for the sake of clarity.
Yeah, I’m kind of baffled that the Remote Semtex Demo Block MK III is not an unlock. Both H1 & H2 provided a remote demo block as an unlock. For players who only own H3, they’ll have to settle for the remote duck or ICA explosive. Both of which has a smaller explosive radius than the demo block.
EDIT: Added as an unlock for Featured Contracts - Track 2 in March 2021.

I was just gonna check this out. Shame
But I´ll edit it accordingly for the sake of clarity.
