Resident Evil 4remakefollows Leon Kennedy on his quest to find and rescue Ashley Graham from the clutches of an infected cult. Sadly, finding Ashley is easier said than done, as Leon must face countless hoards of infected villagers to get to her. At the beginning of the game, fighting these enemies can be quite difficult, especially due to Leon’s lack of powerful weapons.

Thankfully, Leon can obtain new weapons as the player progresses throughRE4remake’s main story. That said, some weapons are harder to acquire than others, especially if players don’t know where to begin looking for them.The Stingray rifle, however, is pretty hard to miss, but some players may wish to avoid getting it.
How To Get The Stingray Rifle In Resident Evil 4 Remake
The Stingray is the second rifle Leon can obtain during the main story ofResident Evil 4remake. Before it becomes available, players can acquire theSR M1903 riflein its steadduring Chapter 2by purchasing it from the Merchant for12,000 Pesetas.

In Chapter 7, Leon canpurchase the Stingray riflefrom the Merchant for30,000 Pesetas. At this point in the game, players should have more than enough money to buy this weapon, but if they are struggling to afford it, they should sell the treasures they have collected during their ventures.Inlaying gemstones into certain treasureswill increase their overall value, allowing Leon to receive even more Pesetas when he sells them, making it easier for him to acquire the funds needed to buy the Stingray.
Is The Stingray Rifle Worth It?
By the time players can purchase the Stingray rifle, they may have already gotten accustomed to their current weapon loadout. To make matters even more complicated, those who have obtained the SR M1903 may find it to be a perfectly adequate rifle that does not need replacing.
That said, the Stingray rifle comes with a few enhancements that the SR M1903 simply doesn’t have. It shines when it has been fully upgraded in the Tune-Up menu, but making it reach its maximum potential can be quite costly.
Though the SR M1903 is a more powerful rifle, the Stingray is a must-have for those fond ofrapid fire. This, combined with the weapon’sprecise sight, makes the Stingray a true force to be reckoned with, especially for when Leon is dealing with large enemy groups. Even after players unlock theCQBR Assault Riflein Chapter 10, the Stingray will remain an equally, if not more efficient rifle.
Though it is possible to complete the game without obtaining the Stingray, players hoping to obtain theGun Fanatic trophy/achievementwill need to purchase it at some point during their playthrough.
Resident Evil 4remakeis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
