Resident Evil 4 Remake Red9: Location, Stats & Upgrade

Blow off the Ganados' heads by using one of Resident Evil 4 Remake's iconic weapons, the Red9.

Red9 was one of the most impressive and powerful guns in the original Resident Evil 4, and it retains its charm and slick design in the remake as well. However, unlike the original, there is a way to acquire this weapon via exploration instead of paying a moderate sum of Pesetas to the Merchant. That is not to say it doesn’t become available for purchase, it does, but not until you have made considerable progress.

Key Takeaways
  • Red9 can be found in Chapter 4 of Resident Evil 4 Remake, right after beating Del Lago.
    1. After defeating Del Lago, Leon gets access to the boat, which can be used to explore the Lake and all of its surrounding areas.
    2. There is a shipwreck right in the center of the lake, which is where the chest containing Red9 is.
    3. In case you miss Red9 and can’t backtrack, you can purchase it from the Merchant in Chapter 5 for 14000 Pesetas.
  • Red9’s exclusive upgrade unlocks after fully upgrading this weapon, which increases its power by 1.5x and costs 100,000 Pesetas.
  • Alternatively, players can also use the Exclusive Weapon Upgrade Ticket to pay off the sum.
  • The Exclusive Weapon Upgrade Ticket can be purchased from the Merchant for 30 Spinel.
  • The precision of Red9 can also be enhanced by using the Red9 Stock, which also is purchased from the Merchant for a price of 9 Spinel.
  • Red9 stock is available for purchase in Chapter 6.
Important: Red9 can be found on the lake in Chapter 4, right after beating Del Lago. In case you missed it, the weapon can be purchased later on in Chapter 5 for 14,000 Pesetas.

Here is our video guide on how to find Red9 in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Location Of Red9

In order to get your hands on Red9, you’ll need to progress the story until the end of Chapter 3 and defeat “Del Lago” (The Sea Monster). After you defeat it, Leon will gain total access to the boat, enabling you to freely explore the lake and any of its optional areas. The chest that contains Red9 can be found on a shipwreck in the middle of the lake.

There is no time limit here; as long you can access the boat and make your way to the middle of the lake, you can get Red9; it doesn’t necessarily have to be right after beating Del Lago.

In case you have missed your chance and cannot backtrack all the way to the lake, the option to purchase the gun from the Merchant for 14,000 Pesetas will always be there. Red9 is available for sale in Chapter 5.
