Resident Evil 4 remake follows Agent Leon S. Kennedy on his journey to locate and rescue the president's daughter from the clutches of a deranged cult. At the beginning of his search, he learns that he needs to fight his way through countless hoards of infected villagers if he wishes to complete his mission, but the weapons he starts with aren't particularly powerful.
Thankfully, Leon won't be forced to rely on the weapons he starts the game with for too long, as RE4 remake allows players to customize their weapon loadout quite regularly. While playing through the game's chapters, Leon can come across several unique guns that he can incorporate into his combat setup, but some, like the Killer7 magnum, are better than others.
How to Get the Killer7 Magnum in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Though they may not look it, the magnums available in Resident Evil 4 remake can deal some pretty significant damage to all enemies in the game. Players will gain the chance to acquire a magnum in Chapter 7 by interacting with the Merchant and buying the Broken Butterfly from him. For those who wish to obtain the Killer7 magnum, however, they will need to continue playing through the main story until they reach Chapter 13.
In order to obtain the Killer7 magnum, players will need to find and interact with the Merchant during Chapter 13 or after. From him, they can purchase the weapon for 77,700 Pesetas. The Killer7 is a pretty costly weapon, but players hoping to obtain the Gun Fanatic trophy/achievement will need to purchase it at some point during their playthrough.
Is the Killer7 Magnum Worth It?
The Killer7 magnum will likely be one of the last weapons Leon obtains in Resident Evil 4 remake unless players begin a New Game+ playthrough after completing the story. Because of this, players will likely have already acquired a weapon setup they like, so they may not want to purchase the Killer7, especially because of how expensive it is.
That said, the Killer7 magnum is arguably the best magnum in the entire game, making its price of 77,700 Pesetas feel somewhat cheap when compared to other, less effective firearms.
- Unlike the Broken Butterfly, the Killer7 comes with a laser sight, allowing for more precise aiming.
- When fully enhanced, it offers 28.0 Power, making it slightly better than the Broken Butterfly that, when upgraded, only offers 27.0.
- The Killer7's maximum Ammo Capacity is 15, while the Broken Butterfly's is 10.
- The Killer7's Reload Speed, when fully enhanced, is 1.40, while the Broken Butterfly's maximum level is 5.
- The Killer7's Rate of Fire, when fully enhanced, is 1.16, but the Broken Butterfly's is 1.33.
Players who wish to prioritize power should consider buying the Killer7, as it is stronger than the Broken Butterfly, but those who prefer faster firing rates and reload speeds should stick with the Broken Butterfly. The Handcannon magnum, unlocked by completing Resident Evil 4 remake on Professional Mode, outshines the Killer7 in every way, aside from its Rate of Fire, but it is much more difficult to obtain, making the Killer7 the better choice in the long run.
If players have Pesetas to spare by the time they can purchase the Killer7 magnum, they should highly consider doing so, as its laser sight alone is more than enough to make the transaction worthwhile.
Resident Evil 4 remake is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
