Discover silenced pistols in Hitman World of Assassination, including the ICA19 Silverballer Mk II and HWK21 Covert. Learn their stats and unlock conditions.
Silenced pistols in Hitman World of Assassination are designed for stealth, making them preferable to regular guns. While the silencer reduces bullet velocity to minimize noise, they can still achieve a kill with a headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) at medium to close range. The maximum ammunition capacity for silenced pistols is 80 rounds.
ICA19
Available: Beginning.
Magazine Capacity: 7 rounds.
Notes: This is your standard issue Silenced Pistol. This is best used up close as you will only knock down people at medium range even if it is a headshot. There are also two variants of the weapon which are really just the same weapon but with a different skin. The first is the ICA19 Chrome which comes as part of the Legacy DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch) and the second is the ICA19 Black Lilly which is part of the Winter Sports Pack.
ICA19 Silverballer / ICA19 Silverballer Mk II
Available: Completion of the [Mission Stories - Paris] Challenge. Mumbai Mastery Level 2 (Mk II Version).
Magazine Capacity: 7 rounds.
Notes: This is a more powerful Pistol than the ICA19 even though it is silenced. This gives it a little more lethal range. I recommended using this instead of the ICA19 once you unlock it.
HWK21 Covert
Available: Paris Mastery Level 20.
Magazine Capacity: 20 rounds.
Notes: This is a silenced version of the HWK21 which makes this a little less powerful than its un-silenced cousin. However, this has the largest clip of all of the Pistols thus reducing the need for reloading should you find yourself in a firefight.
Krugermeier 2-2
Available: Bangkok Mastery Level 20.
Magazine Capacity: 10 rounds.
Notes: This is an antique looking pistol that has a bit less range than the others but also not as weak as you might think. It is the best silenced pistol to use because it is more quiet than the others and therefore attracts less attention if you need to shoot something like a Camera.
Custom 5mm
Available: Hokkaido Mastery Level 5.
Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds.
Notes: This is an special silenced pistol designed to pass pat-downs and frisk zones. Because it uses special ammunition you cannot use any other pistol ammo for it so you are limited to just the five rounds.
ICA19 F/A Stealth
Available: Colorado Mastery Level 10.
Magazine Capacity: 12 rounds.
Notes: This is the same as the regular ICA19 except that the magazine is bigger and it is also a machine pistol. This aspect makes it very inaccurate and chews through ammo quickly.
Hackl 9S Covert
Available: New Zealand. Santa Fortuna. Whittleton.
Magazine Capacity: 12 rounds.
Notes: This has similar accuracy and power to the Bartoli pistols.
- Silenced pistols are crucial for maintaining a low profile in Hitman World of Assassination, especially when dealing with security systems or unaware NPCs (non-player characters).
- The ICA19 Silverballer and its Mk II variant offer a good balance of silenced stealth and increased power over the base ICA19.
- For extended engagements where reloading might be an issue, the HWK21 Covert's larger magazine capacity is advantageous.
- The Krugermeier 2-2's superior quietness makes it ideal for precise shots on cameras or other environmental targets without raising suspicion.
- The Custom 5mm is uniquely suited for situations where you need a silenced weapon but must pass through frisk zones, though its limited ammo capacity requires careful planning.
- The ICA19 F/A Stealth, while having a larger magazine, is less accurate and consumes ammo rapidly, making it suitable for close-quarters firefights rather than precise stealth.
