The Resident Evil 4 Remake is filled with powerful weapons that you will discover over the course of your journey. The most powerful of these weapons, however, aren’t easy to obtain. Weapons like the Handcannon require you to complete specific tasks and challenges before you can get them. Complete these requirements and you get access to dangerous weaponry that will have your foes quivering in their boots. Here is how you can get your hands on the Handcannon in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
How to get the Handcannon in Resident Evil 4 Remake
The Handcannon is one of the most iconic weapons in Resident Evil 4. This powerful magnum pistol is capable of blowing the heads of your foes in a single shot and is one of the best weapons to bring into a boss fight. The weapon comes with the following stats:
- 12 Power
- 5 Ammo Capacity
- 0.46 Reload Speed
- 0.52 Fire Rate
- 1.80 Precision
Of course, a weapon like this isn’t just handed to you during the game. While there are many weapons you can find throughout the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you can only get the Handcannon by completing the game. It doesn’t matter what difficulty you complete the game on first so long as the game is beaten. Once this is done, start a new game. Make sure that you aren’t on new game plus. A fresh save will be needed here.

The Handcannon can be unlocked by completing the game on Professional Mode without using any bonus weapons. Bonus weapons include any weapon that you can get from the bonus store. Once done, the Handcannon will be made available for purchase for 1,000 CP. With the release of Mercenaries Mode, you can also get the Handcannon in a different way. If Professional Mode is proving too difficult, you can load up Mercenaries Mode and complete all of the stages with an S rank. Doing this will also unlock the Handcannon in the store. The newer method of unlocking the Handcannon is far easier and is able to be done within 15 to 20 minutes if you are quick enough.
