10 Best Weapons In The Resident Evil Series You NEED To Use

10. Lightning Hawk (RE2 Remake)

Magnums are always the way to go in RE (Resident Evil) and one of the more recent variants from the RE2 Remake also happens to be one of the best. The Lightning Hawk will make short work of any boss in the game and when combined with its long barrel and scope looks like a gorgeous pocket-sized sniper rifle with the firepower to match.

The Lightning Hawk is obtained by finding a hidden dongle and inserting it into the computer located in the S.T.A.R.S office, this gives the player access to the armory where you'll come face to face with this formidable weapon. The Lightning Hawk is easily one of the best weapons in the game and can make quick work of Mr. X, with it only taking a single headshot to dispose of him.

However, the Lightning Hawk uses .50 caliber ammunition which can scarcely be found in RE2 so knowing when to use this portable cannon becomes a challenge in itself, preventing you from powering your way through the game with ease.
