Where to Get the Red9 in Resident Evil 4 Remake

You will not be able to get the Resident Evil 4 Remake Red9 until you reach Chapter 4 and it can be a tough job for you to find it if you don’t know about the Red9 location. Here’s where it is located.

Chapter 4: The Lake

The Red9 can only be found during Chapter 4 of Resident Evil 4 Remake. In this chapter, Leon is roaming around the lake on his boat. The first thing you need to do is head for the shipwreck in the center of the lake. After defeating Del Lago, you will obtain the Lake Key which is a must to access the boat. After getting the key, pick the small boat which is located at the same location, and head toward the center of the lake. Once you’re close enough, jump out of the boat and swim to the shipwreck.

  • Find the Treasure Chest: Enter the cabin once you have reached the wreckage. There are a few barrels and a treasure chest containing a precious gem on board. Head through the hole in the wall and then head left to find the first treasure chest. Inside this chest, you will find an Alexandrite.
  • Find the Second Chest: Leave the cabin and return to the shipwreck once you have the Alexandrite. Go up the stairwell, around the wreckage, and down the opposite side. There is a doorway that will take you to the opposite side of the ship. Inside, you will find the second treasure chest that contains the Red9 handgun.

If you have not succeeded to acquire the Red9 for free, don’t worry; you can buy one from The Merchant in Chapter 5. Following your successful rescue of Ashley from the church in Chapter 5, the merchant will begin to sell it. You can buy the handgun when you two return to Village Square where he’ll have a stall close to the Town Hall.

For a short time, he’ll be selling it at a lower price; if you’re interested, be prepared to part with 9,300 pesetas. Moreover, you may require a stock attachment to control the pistol’s recoil because you will find it hard to use at first and the stock greatly improves the fire accuracy. Just keep in mind that it will not be available right away, so patience is key.

Just keep playing until you get to the part where you have to survive the house stand-off with Luis by boarding up the windows. That’s at the end of Chapter 5, by the way. Once you’re done with that, swing by the vendor and you’ll see the Red9 up for grabs in the “Trade” menu for just 9 spinels.
