"A magnum revolver. Its extra-large X-Frame was built to handle the muzzle velocity of the strong cartridge and deliver some serious firepower." — Inventory description - English |
"リボルバー方式のマグナム。 マグナム弾の反動に耐える、超大型Xフレームを採用し 驚異的な威力と貫通性能を誇る。" — Inventory description - Japanese |
Handcannon is a magnum-type weapon in Resident Evil 4.
Gameplay[]
This weapon can be obtained by completing the game on Professional Difficulty without using Bonus Weapons, or by achieving an S-ranking or higher on Village, Castle, and Island map in The Mercenaries mode. Once one of these requirements are met, the Handcannon can be purchased for 1000 CP within the Extra Content Shop.
Despite its overwhelming power (in hindsight), its performance in game is questionable at best; sporting slowest fire rate of all magnums and the worst focus speed and aim bloom. Even with its infinite ammo upgrade in mind, it will seldom hit its intended target despite how accurate the player themselves are due to the weapon's innately horrid crosshair bloom and catch time. This in turn makes it far more akin to a shotgun replacement than a magnum and even then its absurd recoil will often still punish the player via other incoming attacks that weren't interrupted by the shot that actually finds its target. This combined with the fact the Broken Butterfly has better damage and fire rate and can have infinite reloads with the Cat Ears makes the Handcannon a very lacking bonus weapon.
