How to get the Handcannon in Resident Evil 4 Remake

sportskeeda.com:

Officially released on March 24, 2023, the Resident Evil 4 remake is a linear, but enthralling horror experience that emphasizes heavily on replayability, thanks to the inclusion of New Game Plus modes and bonus weapons. The latter in particular consists of a wide range of powerful gear that makes zombie-slaying more chaotic and fun than usual.

This list includes the iconic Handcannon, which has made a triumphant return to this modern recreation of the beloved 2005 Nintendo GameCube title. As expected, players will need to jump through a lot of hoops to obtain it. Considering that it's a Magnum revolver, it's one of the strongest weapons in the game. Here's how fans can get their hands on it.

First off, here's a brief overview of the base level 1 Handcannon:

Looking at these stats, it's fairly obvious that it's a pretty powerful revolver. Unfortunately, the Handcannon's sheer stopping force is negatively impacted by its slow reload time and fire rate. Nevertheless, it can take down most enemies quite easily, especially after upgrading it to the maximum level of five.

It should be noted that upgrades will require a lot of money, so ensure that you have plenty on hand and be prepared to grind for more. Furthermore, the Handcannon has an Exclusive Perk known as Unlimited Ammo, which is pretty much exactly what its name suggests. This will cost an extra 10,000 Ptas, but players can choose to use an Exclusive Upgrade Ticket instead. No matter the option used, this incredibly useful perk overcomes another one of the weapon's major weaknesses - rare ammunition.

Unlike the original game, the unlock requirements for the Handcannon this time around are fairly tame. Previously, players were required to beat all Mercenaries Mode levels
