Finding the Most Effective Magnum in Resident Evil 4 Remake

Throughout the Resident Evil franchise, the Magnum has earned its place as a staple. These handguns are typically the strongest in the game, capable of delivering a hefty amount of damage with minimal ammunition. The Magnums are renowned as “boss killers”, with many gamers reserving them exclusively for difficult battles. Players of the Resident Evil 4 Remake will have a selection of three of these powerful firearms to choose from while playing as Leon.

Where To Get Each Magnum In The RE4 Remake

The Broken Butterfly is the first Magnum obtainable by players. It is easy to find and can be a great asset against midgame enemies. The Broken Butterfly is available to purchase from the Merchant in Chapter 7 – the earliest place to get it is when players enter the Castle. The weapon costs 42,000 Pesetas, however, the first time it is offered in this location, the Merchant discounts it by 30%. This means it can be bought for only 29,400 Pesetas and purchasing it also grants the recipe for Magnum Ammo for free. This is a great bargain and players should make sure they have enough money to take advantage of this exclusive offer, as the Merchant will return the gun to its original price in later areas.

The Killer7 is a Magnum that can only be bought from the Merchant upon reaching the Island in Chapter 13. It will set you back 77,700 Pesetas, and there’s no chance of haggling for a discount. The firearm is highly accurate and powerful, and it also comes equipped with a Laser Sight attachment.

Discovering the Handcannon in the RE4 Remake

While players may not have access to the Handcannon during their initial playthrough of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it is obtainable after two runs of the game. To get it, gamers must complete the Professional Agent Challenge, which is done by finishing a New Game on Professional Mode without the aid of additional bonus weapons (this includes the Chicago Sweeper and Primal Knife). After beating the game once on any difficulty, Professional Mode will be unlocked and available for use.

RE4 Remake, What Is The Highest Rated Magnum

The Handcannon is a top choice among Magnums due to its impressive 36 Power when fully upgraded and the bonus benefit of never needing to reload. However, the process of unlocking this weapon may be too time-consuming for some. Thus, the Killer7 Magnum might be the preferred option until one can gain access to the Handcannon. When upgraded, it has 28 Power and can store up to 15 rounds. Moreover, it comes with a Laser Sight, which increases its accuracy.
