Where to get the Red9 in Resident Evil 4

By Billy Givens Updated March 24, 2023

Anyone who played the original Resident Evil 4 back in the day knows that the unique Red9 handgun was one of the most powerful weapons you could get your hands on, and that hasn’t really changed in Capcom’s new remake. Though the red dot sight is no longer standard as it once was, the Red9 still hits nearly as hard as it did back then, so it’s a worthy addition to your arsenal on any difficulty level. If you’re looking to score this fan-favorite gun, you have two methods to do so, and we’ll fill you in on the details here.

Where to Get the Red9

The Red9 can first be obtained near the beginning of Chapter 4. After a short trek, you’ll gain access to another boat, which you can then use to navigate the lake and its surrounding waterways. When you’re ready to get the Red9, set out toward the center of the lake to find a decrepit ship.

When you arrive at the decrepit ship, hop dock on the side and board it. There’s a chest directly in front of you after you board, but it’s not the one you’re looking for. Grab what’s inside and then walk out and veer to the left. The chest here contains the Red9.

If you miss the Red9 at this point in Chapter 4, don’t be too worried, as you’ll still be able to purchase it from the merchant in Chapter 5. After you rescue Ashley and return to the village, you can buy it from him at his stall near the town hall.

Best skills to buy first in The First Berserker: Khazan

The First Berserker: Khazan

If you're diving into The First Berserker: Khazan, you may have taken a glance at its skill trees and felt a bit overwhelmed. There are a lot of skills to choose from, and it can be difficult to figure out which suits you best. We're always trying to make things easier for you, though, so we've decided to list our picks for the best skills to buy first from each tree, which should make the game's opening hours slightly more manageable.

Note: Remember that while Common Skills are used across any build, weapon skills are exclusive to that weapon. As such, only invest skill points in the weapon you're currently using. You can always unlearn them for free at any time and move them to another skill tree if you decide to swap weapons.

How to spot Crypt Devourers in The First Berserker: Khazan

Khazan looks at a mimic

As you navigate the challenging world of The First Berserker: Khazan, you'll spend a significant amount of time checking every nook and cranny for sweet loot. There's plenty of it to find, too. But as with almost every Soulslike game, some of The First Berserker: Khazan's loot is sporting a trap! While not technically a mimic, there are some scary things lying in wait for you as you pick up loot throughout the game's levels, and failing to recognize them could cost you a huge chunk of health -- or maybe even your life.

Here's how to spot one of these traps and what you can do to save yourself from them.
How to spot a Crypt Devourer in The First Berserker: Khazan
While exploring levels in The First Berserker: Khazan, you'll occasionally see dead bodies that glow red. Interacting with these corpses will normally earn you some Soul Tier Dust and a brief dialogue sequence, but some are housing something dangerous beneath them. When you interact with one of these, you'll be greeted by a giant worm-like creature called a Crypt Devourer, who will grab you, deal damage, then throw you haphazardly onto the ground. In some cases, the throw can even send you into a pack of enemies or off the side of a level where you'll fall to your death.

Palworld is finally getting one of its most requested features this month

You'll finally be able to play Palworld with friends on other platforms later this month. Developer Pocket Pair announced the news on social media earlier today, along with a surprise discount for PlayStation 5 and Steam players — 25% off for a short time. Pocket Pair also hinted at "some little surprises" in the update, though the team didn't give any clue as to what those might be.

Crossplay is easily one of the most requested features in Palworld since its release in early access in 2024. Fans of the game could only play with others on the same platform as themselves, but now anyone — including players on macOS — can join up to build massive bases, fight off the Syndicate, and take down that pesky Menasting.
