The S&W M29 (MAG) is the first Magnum found in Resident Evil 5.
Gameplay[]
The M29 can be found in Chapter 3–1, on the dead body of a BSAA soldier. In order to acquire this weapon, the player will have to enter a hut and trigger a trap set up by the Ndipaya. After completing Chapter 3–1, the S&W M29 can be purchased for ₦4,000.
It has a starting firepower of 1500, a reload speed of 3.53, a capacity of 6, and a piercing value of 0. Fully upgraded, it has a firepower of 3200, a reload speed of 2.83, a capacity of 12, and a piercing value of 1.
Between the L. HAWK and the S&W M500, the S&W M29 is the most balanced. It offers a lightly superior firepower than the L. Hawk, the largest capacity and a decent recoil.
Fully upgrading this weapon (and having completed the game on any difficulty setting) will allow the player to buy infinite ammo for it for 15,000 Exchange Points. Fully upgrading the M29 will unlock the powerful S&W M500 (MAG) for purchase.
Upgrade chart[]
It takes a total of ₦82,000 to buy and fully upgrade the S&W M29, or just ₦78,000 to fully upgrade if the player takes the one found in-game.
Further Notes[]
- During a first playthrough, the S&W M29 can be fully upgraded from Chapter 4-1, being one of the first weapons that can be fully upgraded in the game, which in turn unlocks the powerful S&W M500 for purchase at the store.
- The likeness of the weapon is used for the Six Shooter Deck Building Game card.
