Your go-to guide for the Handgun in Resident Evil Outbreak! Learn about its capacity, ammo, special abilities, and how it stacks up against other weapons. Essential info for Raccoon City survivors!

Alright, let's talk about the trusty Handgun in Resident Evil Outbreak. This is your bread-and-butter sidearm, the one you'll be relying on a lot, especially early on. It's the standard-issue pistol for the Raccoon Police Department, so it shows up pretty much everywhere across both *Outbreak* and *Outbreak File 2*. ### Handgun (Outbreak) * Type: Semi-automatic Pistol * Ammo: Uses Handgun Rounds "Handgun Rounds (Outbreak)") * Capacity: 15 rounds per magazine * Damage: Moderate * Fire Rate: Decent This pistol has a limited range, which can be a bit of a bummer when you're facing down tougher enemies or groups. But don't underestimate it! Reloading: You can reload manually by inserting bullets one by one (just hold down the reload button) or by combining ammo boxes with the handgun in your menu. For quicker reloads, keep an eye out for [Handgun Magazines](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Handgun_Magazine "Handgun Magazine"). Special Abilities: * Potshots: If you're playing as [Kevin Ryman](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Kevin_Ryman "Kevin Ryman") or [Alyssa Ashcroft](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Alyssa_Ashcroft "Alyssa Ashcroft"), you can perform a special 'Potshot' with the handgun. This doubles its damage, making it much more effective! * NPCs: You'll often see RPD officers carrying these, so keep an eye on them if you need backup or a quick ammo grab. While it's not the most powerful weapon, the Handgun is reliable and ammo is usually plentiful. It's a solid choice for managing the early threats in Raccoon City. Just remember to aim carefully and use those Potshots when you can!
