Red9 is a weapon in Resident Evil 4.

Location[]

The blue treasure chest located at the center of the lake yields this weapon.

Gameplay[]

A pistol with identical appearance to Luis Serra Navarro's, the Red9 is notable for having the highest Power among all pistols in the game (almost twice as high when compared to the Punisher) especially when fully upgraded, making it arguably the most powerful pistol on a per shot basis thus the best ammo economy. This allows it to be powerful enough in any given scenario, even against tougher enemies that would otherwise require heavier caliber armaments. The handgun takes up six inventory spaces but requires its Stock which takes an additional4 slots to truly bring out its potential.

However, the Red9 has some major flaws that prevent the iconic pistol from being a good all-round weapon. Most notably, it has the lowest accuracy; having the worst focus (largest and fastest reticle spread of any gun in the game, tied with the Handcannon) and catch time without its stock attachment. Moreover, its rate of fire is the slowest of all pistols in the game, which, combined with its sub-par ammo capacity and slow reload speed, makes accurate continuous firing a hard achievement, making at longer distance engagements or when encountering dangerous enemies with small weakpoints, such as Garrador and Ramón Salazar in his mutated form a troublesome task. Players may want to choose the Blacktail if versatility is a priority, as it has great all-round stats as well as good accuracy in exchange for a comparatively (albeit only slightly) lower Power.

All the same, its unmatched firepower allows it to mow down ganados with center fire/ body shots consistently unlike most other handguns available in the game without draining one's ammo count.

The Red9 is one of the starting weapon of Luis in the The Mercenaries mode.
