15 Most Powerful Weapons In Resident Evil

LIGHTNING HAWK (RESIDENT EVIL 5)

Magnums are always incredible weapons in Resident Evil games, and the Lightning Hawk in Resident Evil 5 surely upholds that tradition. Whether or not it’s the best magnum in the game is somewhat debatable- but though some might disagree, we definitely think it is. It might not have as much firepower as other magnums in RE5, but it has excellent piercing power, which makes it an excellent weapon when you’re facing multiple stronger enemies at once. Add to that relatively cheaper upgrade costs, low recoil, and great reload speed, and you have a weapon that definitely deserves a place in your arsenal.
