Resident Evil 3: Magnum - where to find it? Resident Evil 3 guide, walkthrough
Last update: 02 April 2020
The Magnum .44 AE Lightning Hawk is one of the best weapons available in Resident Evil 3 Remake. Our guide explains how to get a Magnum Lightning Hawk pistol. It's well hidden, but with our description you'll easily get it.
The Magnum .44 AE Lightning Hawk can only be obtained in the later part of the campaign, namely some time after the action moves to the Hospital.
In the Hospital, you have to perform all tasks and complete all objectives while playing as Carlos and wait until you re-take control of Jill. Carlos can't get a Magnum - the area with this weapon is unavailable for this character.
After you regain control of Jill, head towards the Courtyard shown in the screenshot above. Bypass it on the ground floor and use the western staircase to reach the upper floor of the hospital.
Get interested in the southwest corner of the courtyard highlighted in the picture.
Reach the collapsed passage. Jill can crawl through here.
Crawl through the passageway and reach a place where you can jump over the railing - this area was inaccessible to Carlos.
After landing on the lower level of the courtyard, you simply have to locate the Magnum .44 AE Lightning Hawk gun box.
G18 Burst Pistol
During your stay in the hospital you can also get another unique weapon - the G18 Handgun Burst Model. This is a handgun that fires triple-bullet bursts. You'll find it in the room where Jill was lying. You can collect it after Jill wakes up.
