Infrared Scope

This specialized scope is found in the freezer room on the Island facility and can be equipped onto either the Rifle (RE4) or the Rifle (semi-auto), regardless the parasite will die with 1 direct hit from either weapon thus it is mostly the player's preference which weapon to use it on. It can only obtained after shutting down the freezer controls near the card rewriter which is also in the same room. It is best used against Regenerators and Iron Maidens, where it can detect Las Plagas parasites unseen to the naked eye. Alternatively after completing the game(Or at least after you passed the Prison level where the last Regenerator is found) it is advisable to sell the scope to the merchant since it fetches a hefty 10,000 pestas and if sold, the scope is obtainable every time the the game is played in the same location. The infrared scope does not magnify aiming like the scopes sold by the merchant it simply puts the player in thermal vision, it can also see other organisms and the environment in thermal mode but this is purely for aesthetics and does not allow the player to see through walls.

Trivia

 * In the PC version, if the scope is mounted of the semi-automatic rifle the scope only appears attached in the menu but when in the actual game the graphic of the scope is not displayed and the rifle is seen using the default scope.
