Is it worth buying the Killer 7?

[Tiny Trees]

Am not going to buy the Butterfly; if I buy any magnum, I would buy the Killer 7.

Am quite a way through ch 15.

Until now the Killer 7 was 77,000 pesatas. Right now it's on sale about 47,000 pesetas.

However I have only 4 magnum rounds which I have come across over the whole game, in my inventory. Crafting magnum round is very expensive.

I am happy with my current weapons. I can afford to buy the Killer 7. Or I could use the pesetas to upgrade my weapon only out of three weapons that is not maxed. That's the Stingray and it has max damage anyway, although rate of fire is worth upgrading with that.

Can't help thinking the magnum would come in useful as a hand cannon. With such rare ammo drops so far, it seems pointless. Although more ammo might drop if I carry it, I think.

It would take up more inventory space than I can spare right now, but it's on sale and hard to pass by.

It was worth it, when you it first appeared in stock. Close to the end of Chapter 15? Nah. Better buy the rocket launcher instead. At this stage of the game the rocket launcher will be more useful, because the only thing you'd want a magnum is Saddler fight and it's easier with the rocket launcher.

Killer7 is pretty good for Krauser but thats it. If you already finished him.. no. Not worth it. Just buy rocket to delete saddler.

Due to the nature of how rng system work, the consistent way is to craft magnum ammo on your own than hopping for rng to drop them.

Buying Broken Butterfly special deal in Ch7 is not a big loss. Since you will start crafting magnum ammo, Broken Butterfly is an ideal makeshift magnum to help you before Ch13 doing the switch to Killer7.

Resources (both type) also have drastically reduced rng drop chance the further you are into the game. Start crafting as early as you can, then purchase resource S from merchant if you already has 17 gunpowder but the rng had not give you any resource S yet.

By the time you reach Ch13, you can just buy Killer7 and not wait for its special deal in Ch15. Start utilize Killer7 from Ch13.

It is, it's cool, but I kinda don't have need to use it after unlocking infinite headcannon

If we talk about "needing" most of us wouldnt need anything besides the BAR and Riot gun.

Killer7 is a fun, balanced gun. Yolo stomping with unlimited handcannon also is fun but gets boring quick. Deleting brutes,, mini bosses and such with the Killer7 will always be a nice thing next to headshotting everything with the BoltActionRifle.

I figured if I buy Killer 7 now while it's on sale, I might get to use it during NG+ replays.

Am thinking like you folks in that I am saving inventory space for a rocket launcher for boss fights. Also keeping 80,000 pesetas to buy one.

I could buy Killer 7 on discount and store it for later games. While also being able to afford a rocket launcher I think.

I have approx 120,000 pesetas so Killer 7 cost about 47,000, leaving about 73,000 pesetas. Might get more pesetas before next boss fight. Or could sell something like a gem, or the crossbow which I barely used. Crossbow might be useful once upgraded in NG+ though.

I stopped playing and saved to ask advice. Was not sure if next door I opened might be the next chapter, then I might lose Killer 7 sale price. Anyway, thanks everyone.

There are also 3 gems in chatper 16 to collect before the last boss fight, worth about 20k total.

Looks like you are playing on standard then. Well. In that case, Just to what your hunch tells you. No need for any advice. You are nearly done with that playthrough anyways.

Ofc you can buy it now and use it in your ng+ run. Actually. Is a wise thing to do. On standard.. saddler also isnt that big of a deal so if it's your very first playthrough.. do saddler without the rpg. Seeing the full fight ONCE imho is important.

[Tiny Trees]

Yeah, yeah playing on Standard. Good chance I will do a boss fight once at least anyway. Will be thinking of your advice.

I have a few gems anyway so no problemo making up any cash. I could sell Krauser's knife if I got desperate. I have a sub-machine-gun and an assault rifle stored. Still might make more cash before any boss fight.

Killer7 is probably the best Magnum in the game, the only problem it really faces is how low ammo for Magnums are in this game.

Yeah and crafting is expensive. Was thinking maybe keep the cash and use it upgrading a couple more stats on the Stingray.

With the Killer 7 being on sale though, it might be worth getting for NG+, storing and using occasionally when ammo drops.

Magnums are generally reserved for Hard enemies and Bosses and that's it. That's why their ammo is generally scarce.

The problem here is that there are a few weapons that can easily fill that role and ammo is way more plentiful. The best one being the SR M1903 rifle.

10.6 thanks to it's Exclusive
31.8 Damage if you hit a weak spot
Penetration
Can us all 3 Rifle Scopes ( although, I actually prefer the iron sights on this weapon )
Decent Rate of fire when fully upgraded

and best of all, Rifle Ammo is far more plentiful then Magnum Ammo. Crafting it yields 7 bullets minimal too.

Yep, have to agree here, it's such a good rifle if you have decent aim. I like to use either the bolt action rifle or the CQBR. Stingray just doesn't do that much damage, nor does it have the insane DPS of CQBR.

As for the magnums, I have the most fun with the BB with infinite ammo, but Killer7 is the most usable. Just the fact that you hit where you aim makes it amazing. If you have so limited ammo, I feel like it's best to make sure you don't miss.

[Tiny Trees]

It would be handy if the game had a chart of the upgrades for each weapon. I would possibly have gone with the SR M1903 if I had known its upgraded damage.

I can't remember why I did not get it. It was possibly inventory space because I remember from time to time seeing the not enough space notice. I must have assumed that the Stingray was a better rifle as it came later. Plus I recall seeing a website saying it was.

The exclusive upgrade for the Stingray is fire-rate which it kind of needs. I see now that while the SR M1903 has a lower fire rate, it hits harder.

Doesn't matter though. I like my weapons. The Stingray usually one shots what I use it for. Though occasionally I want to fire more than once with it, and am held back by fire-rate.

Thank you all for feedback. Have been having a true-blast with RE4. Nice to talk about it.
