S&S M232

Grace. She carries it in the prologue (ch01) with 9 rounds and loses it in the hotel police-zombie scene. Get it back in ch03: Care Center, Bar & Lounge (2F, West Wing, above the Dining Room), behind the bar next to the sink, loaded with 9. A Zombie Singer and 2 zombies with their backs turned guard it; if you are short on ammo, leave the room for later.

Grace's pistol for the whole game: it beats the B934 in every bar. Go for it as soon as you can get into the Bar & Lounge.

• On Standard, 1 Requiem headshot kills the Singer (Game8); on Insanity it no longer does. A thrown Empty Bottle distracts all three.
• Safe #1 is behind the same bar: Left 10 → Right 80 → Left 30 (3 Antique Coins).
• If Leon kills the Singer in ch04, Grace loots the room without a fight.
• Grace makes her own ammo with the Blood Collector: Scrap + 40 Infected Blood → Handgun Ammo ×8, once the Blood Specimen (Denatured) is analysed.
• Its power goes up with the Stabilizer and the Rugged Rookie Charm; Grace has no parts shop.
• Switch 2: the Grace amiibo unlocks a skin for this gun (from 30 Jul 2026). The Deluxe Kit adds two more (not in the base game).

Stats are the in-game bars converted to a 0–5 scale (Game8); no damage figures have been published. "★" is each part's third tier: it only appears with Advanced Tuning (destroy all 25 Mr. Raccoons) and applies to every later run.
