The Blacktail is a great weapon in Resident Evil 4 Remake. If you’re trying to get ahold of it, this guide can help.
Resident Evil 4 Remake gives players a wide array of options when it comes to weaponry. Finding the right weapon can be tricky as each of them has its own pros and cons. If you’re looking for a reliable and simple weapon, the Blacktail is a great choice.
The Blacktail is a weapon that players will have access to early on in the game, but with the right upgrades, the Blacktail can be carried into the mid-to-late game without much trouble. Here’s how you can get it.
Blacktail Location
The Blacktail is a purchased weapon that players can find in the Merchant’s shop. The weapon will appear at the start of Chapter 7, but will remain in the Merchant’s inventory if not purchased on the first encounter. Unlike weapons like the Broken Butterfly, the Blacktail will not have any significant Special Offers attached when players first spot it and will cost 24,000 Pesetas. The Blacktail is a great pistol to grab because it only takes up four slots in Leon’s case.
Blacktail Stats
The Blacktail is a pretty standard pistol, but it has some impressive stats that set it above guns like the SG-09 R, the Punisher, and even Red9. The Blacktail does not have any significant perks like increased critical damage or Penetration Power, so that should be factored in when choosing whether to equip this gun or not. It has nice Power but its Reload Speed, Rate of Fire, and Precision give it a nice boost in combat. It can be used to dispatch most standard enemies and its small storage size means Leon can have plenty of alternatives at the ready for heavier foes.
