How to get it
Leon, ch09: BSAA Container 03, Main Street (Raccoon City East), east past the Gas Station. The road dips under a bridge between wrecked cars: loop around and climb the ladder behind the truck, then drop in next to the container. You need the BSAA Container Keys. Opening it releases 3 zombies: back off and shoot or throw the red canister inside. It holds 10 rounds + Rifle Ammo ×4. If you miss it, it goes into the Supply Box at Raccoon City Center.
Verdict
The rifle GameRant, DualShockers and IGN prefer, and Game8's pick for Insanity: semi-auto, 10 to 25 rounds and quiet. Tune the Reinforced Bolt first.
- Thanks to the suppressor, a one-shot headshot kill does not alert nearby zombies (Vandal).
- Charms: Connoisseur Charm (DualShockers, Game8) or the BSAA Emblem Charm without the scope (IGN).
- Two rifles do not fit comfortably: if you keep this one, sell the Classic 70 (5,000).
- On later runs buy this rifle before the ch07 escort (Game8).
