Normal Unlock Method: Complete a New Game on Professional Mode Difficulty Without Bonus Weapons

The Handcannon Bonus Weapon can be unlocked by completing the game on Professional Mode without using any Bonus Weapons.

The catch is, you have to start a New Game on Professional Mode to unlock the Handcannon, so a New Game Plus file won't work for this one. However, you don't have to worry about Rank so take your time and make your way through Professional Mode.

Weapons That Cannot Be Used

• Handcannon
• Chicago Sweeper
• Primal Knife
• Infinite Rocket Launcher

How to Unlock Professional Mode

The Professional Difficulty Mode can be unlocked simply by clearing the main story once on any difficulty. It can be selected for any New Game or New Game Plus file once unlocked.

Is Handcannon Worth It?

Worth it with the Infinite Ammo

Handcannon, although it's base stat is a bit low compared to Killer7, is still good to have as it is the only Magnum with infinite ammo. Magnum Ammo are very scarce and requires a lot of Gunpowder to make, making it one of the rarest items in the game.

How to Use Handcannon

Get Exclusive Upgrade for Infinite Ammo

The Handcannon's biggest draw is its Exclusive Upgrade which gives it Infinite Ammo to work with.

Be sure to save up your pesetas and upgrade the Handcannon, or use an Exclusive Upgrade Ticket once you get it to fully take advantage of its potential!
