Default Weapons

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D default weapons like the Samurai Edge handgun, L. Hawk magnum, and Hydra shotgun. Learn their stats and uses.

Samurai Edge

Weapon type: Handgun

Ammo: 9/9

Max number of load: 18

Damage: 400

Reload speed: 1.70 seconds

Critical percentage: 50%

Wesker's custom Samurai Edge handgun is the most damaging handgun in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D per single shot. It weakens an enemy to set them up for leg stun or arm stun melees. With a 50% critical rate, you will be getting quite a few critical headshots instead of head stuns with this weapon. This weapon has a 50% chance of being an instant kill when a normal enemy (Majini, Zealot) is shot in the head with it, which can help to save a dying combo quickly. Unlike Barry's Samurai Edge, Wesker's Samurai Edge does not have piercing, so it can't pierce through wooden shields.

L. Hawk

Weapon type: Magnum

Ammo: 6/0

Max number of load: 10

Damage: 2300

Reload speed: 1.53 seconds

Critical percentage: 12.5%

Special Properties: Piercing

While not as damaging as the M500 magnum, the L. Hawk has a really good rate of fire for such a powered weapon. The reload animation is quite fast, even faster than the Samurai Edge handgun. The L. Hawk magnum is a good weapon for stunning and damaging boss enemies. Since magnum ammo can be rare at times, it's best to use this weapon for stunning a boss enemy so you can move close to the boss and damage it with the Hydra shotgun. The L. Hawk Magnum also pierces per shot fired, so it can pierce through a Zealot's wooden shield and armor on Base Majini.

Hydra

Weapon type: Shotgun

Ammo: 3/3

Max number of load: 6

Damage: 500 x 14

Reload speed: 3.67 seconds

Critical percentage: 12.5%

When the full spread of the Hydra hits an enemy, it will take off a full 7000 damage per shot (500 damage x 14 pellets). The only problem is that you will have to be at extreme close range to make every pellet hit an enemy. The Hydra is an excellent boss killing weapon, but it can't stun a boss well on its own. When used in combination with the L. Hawk magnum, the Hydra can be highly damaging. You can use one shot from the L. Hawk magnum to stun a boss then blast the boss from close range with the Hydra.
