The Rifle (semi-auto) is a sniping weapon featured in Resident Evil 4. It is the second and final sniper rifle available to Leon S. Kennedy from The Merchant in the maingame for 35,000 pesetas.

Gameplay

In the maingame, Leon has to buy it from the Merchant for 35,000₧. It is first available once the player reaches Chapter 3-1. The Semi-auto Rifle takes up 14 spaces (7x2) of the inventory. Unlike the first rifle, which is bolt-action, it does not take the player out of aiming mode after each shot.

A custom scope for extremely long-range sniping can be purchased for 10,000₧ and takes up 3 spaces (3x1). Like the bolt action Rifle, the Rifle (semi-auto) can equip the thermal imaging scope found on the island base, which is ideal for targeting weak spots of some enemies like Iron Maidens.

The Rifle also appears in Ada's inventory in the Assignment Ada minigame. The Rifle (semi-auto) is also present in The Mercenaries game mode. It is used with the precision scope by Ada, and without the scope by Wesker. Wesker's rifle is fully upgraded.

In Separate Ways, Ada can buy the weapon partially upgraded for 35,600₧.

Strategy

  • Thanks to the faster firing speed than the Rifle, the weapon can safely be used at medium range to quickly take out a single enemy with a head shot.

Tune up chart

Fire Speed and Reload Speed are given in seconds.

The weapon takes 351,000₧ to buy and fully upgrade and 361,000₧ in total for that plus the scope. Its exclusive upgrade lowers its fire speed to 0.40 in the Japanese and US Gamecube versions, while in the Gamecube's PAL, PS2, PC, and HD versions only decreases it to 0.80.
