How the slots work
The set keeps the original slot layout, so the pistol, machine gun, rocket launcher and flamethrower each fill a distinct slot. As in the base game, an arrest can remove firearms.
Finding them in London
Crates and defeated characters remain the main places, with fixed city spots placing heavy arms near tougher job areas. Because the icons are the London treatment of the same firearms, the table helps you confirm the slot at a glance before you start a Kill Frenzy or a timed job.
FAQ
Are these weapons different from London 1969?
The function and slots match London 1969. The difference is the mission setting and map context, not the weapon behavior.
Why does the default punch not appear?
The punch is the unarmed default with no slot or pickup, so the inventory focuses on the four firearms.
Do the London icons change performance?
No. The London presentation changes the icon look, but the firearm role and slot stay the same as the base game.
