The Samurai Edge (Jill Model) is a handgun that appears in the Resident Evil 2 remake. The weapon was given to players that pre-order the game alongside the Samurai Edge (Chris Model).

Gameplay[]

"15-shot capacity 9mm handgun. Customized with a smaller slide stop to reduce catching when drawing."
— Inventory description

This weapon could originally only be unlocked by pre-ordering the game, but has been made paid DLC after an exclusivity period. After purchase, it would then be placed in the Item Box by default. This variation provides quicker focus time than most other handguns in the game, 2nd only to the Quickdraw Army.

Triva[]

While this is supposed to be Jill's original model Samurai Edge which she used during the Mansion incident, and her escape from Racoon City there are serval design errors within the model itself that make it not so.

  • Jill's Samurai Edge had a black slide instead of the standard grey slide that was used on the standard Samurai Edge.
  • Her S.T.A.R.S medallion was in enameled in light blue rather than cyan.
  • Jill's original Samurai Edge' base model like all the others (excluding Barry's) was that of the Beretta 92FS (M92F in America). Unlike this one which is based on the enhanced version of the M92F the M9A1.

Having the base model being the M9A1 instead of the M92F makes this gun closer to the "Samurai Edge A1 Jill Valentine Model" that was introduced in Resident Evil Revelations.

In that game the A1 was a gun made for Jill by Quint Cetcham after the formation of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, based on her original model Samurai Edge but built using the modern M9A1 frame.

It's entirely possible an internal communication error in Capcom caused the design team to receive a description of the A1 model rather than the original model, and either never noticed this mistake, or didn't notice until it was too late to change the model.
