Is samurai edge better than matilda?

[SoldierScar]

Should i just get upgrade parts for matilda and use that?

[Draconic Creature]

Initially I believe the samurai edge is better, though not by too much. You do get upgrades that makes the matilda better, including one very early one that gives you a doubled magazine. It's in Leon's desk in the office across from the armory I believe.

Samurai Edge is more ammo efficent than the matilda. However the matilda is basically glorious anti boss.

Stick witht he samurai edge until you hit end game, and then use all that extra pistol ammo you saved to just unload with the matilda.

Samurai Edge beats standard matilda hands down but once you get upgrades for Matlida it's the superior hand gun.

[Star Taker]

Samurai Edge is good for early game but once u get mods, as others have said, it's obsolete and Matilda is the better one.

Can I swap ammo from the Edge to the Maltida?

You can't unload ammo from a gun, so just spend the ammo in the mag and don't reload.

I already got the large mag and muzzle thing..is it better now? :D

Matilda is so good once you get the upgrade, dunno which one but it allows your crosshair to retract almost instantly after every shot.

Did you get the stock in the parking garage?

Actually almost all handgun is good if you know which gun suitable for your gameplay.
I believe i saw someone testing the samurai edge from each version in this forum a few days ago, explaining difference to each handgun, their weakness and strength, including SLS60.

Im not there yet

Even fully upgraded i found matilda wasn't worth it. Claire's revolver is excellent though.

I actually think that Wesker's Samurai Edge might be preferable even to a fully upgraded Matilda - at least if you can live without the double mag and the ammo wasting burst function.

The burst with Matilda is fantastic in the way that you don't have to commit to a full 3 round burst. You can still single shot very easily.

From the online tests it looks like samurai has the same firepower as matilda however there are no upgrades for SE.

I haven't used most of the time burst upgrade and capacity is kinda useless if you have infinite ammo especially if you use handgun for zombies mostly. The only benefit of matilda is accuracy upgrade.

What ppl don't say is that Samurai Edge gives you big advantage in playthrough. First you get permanent extra slot (because you don't need ammo) , secondly all the gunpowder you find can be used for shotgun or magnum - this is big bonus to have more ammo for magnum and never worry about handgun ammo going low.
With infinite ammo you can also shoot zombies on the floor without worrying if they get up or not, and if you miss who cares, just shoot as many bullets as you want.
